CHAPTER 435 REVIEW:
I'm back, sorry I haven't been able to do a review in a while, I have been really busy. But looks like just about everybody are doing a review now, what is the deal with that?
Anyways, first of all I have to give props to Kishi for the way he has begun the year so far. So far this year Kishi has been delivering great and thrilling chapters. His drawing in the last few chapters had been top-notch. Kishi is stepping his game up for the New Year. That is a good thing because I think this year have a lot of potential to be one of the best year in the manga.
STOLE KAKASHI?
http://i281.photobucket.com/albums/kk205/LC9411/435cover.jpgby narutotenkaichi
Stole Kakashi? Really? All he did was stole Kakashi, not murdered him, not kill him? I once said before that I was 99.9999% sure that Kakashi isn't dead yet, I think I can now change that to 100%. This pretty much confirms, imo, that Kakashi isn't dead. If he is why wouldn't Kishi just say something like, "He murdered Jiraiya and Kakashi...." or "He murdered Jiraiya, and killed Kakashi...". I think this is another one of the many clues, that Kishi had been leaving us since Kakashi end up in this situation, that Kakashi isn't dead yet.
Also the picture shows a symbolic contrast between Pein and Naruto. God Realm is drawn to look that big to show him as been monstrous, while Naruto was drew to look innocent. Pein is the monstrous figure that is terrorizing the innocuous Naruto. Terrorizing his life by destroying his village and killing his families, while planning to kill him as well. Also picture implement a David vs. Goliath feel to the fight. Naruto is the David trying to take down the undefeated, self proclaim god Pein, the Goliath.
FROG STONE.

So the chapter begins where the last one left off. Naruto is in trouble; he is getting his charka suck out and slowly losing consciousness. Pein as already arrogantly proclaim victory. So what does Naruto do now? He pulls a NARUTO. Been the warrior and fighter he is, Naruto chose not to give up and display the willpower that we are use to seeing from Naruto, and that makes us love him. He proclaims, "Not yet, it's not over yet". Damn right, it is not over yet.
With that Naruto looked over to Pa and Ma, who are gathering Natural chakra in preparation for the genjutsu. Seeing that Naruto came up with an idea to get himself out of Fatso full-nelson hold, and show once again that he isn't remotely close to been as dumb as some people thinks. Naruto plan is to turn Fatso into a frog stone. He start during this by gathering natural energy for Sage chakra, he didn't have to worry about not moving because Fatso is already holding him still. Fatso on the other hand continues to absorb Naruto chakra. And out of nowhere Fatso start turning froggie as a result of absorbing too much Sage chakra from Naruto. Before we know it Fatso is the ugliest looking thing around, he turned into an ugly frog statue, allowing Naruto to break free.
I thought this was possible last week but I wasn't expecting it to happen, great thinking on Naruto's part. He display again why he is one of the best tacticians in the manga. Naruto is probably the best on the spot thinker in the manga.
NOT AGAIN
http://i589.photobucket.com/albums/ss335/usmanani/008-2.jpg
After Naruto broke free, he final finds out that the bodies that he have been fighting are just puppets. Katsuyu enlighten him that the bodies are been control by someone in the shadow. What a bummer for Naruto. In the mean time, Pa and Ma have already gather enough Natural energy for the genjutsu but before they can perform the genjutsu God Realm stuck his hand out and starts pulling Pa toward him with Basho Tenin. Naruto realizing what was about to go down desperately try to intercept Pa and prevent Pein from killing any more person close to him. With Ma crying out loud for her husband, God Realm undemonstratively proclaims, "I've had enough of your illusions". The page is ended with a panel showing a blood splash, we are left to wonder whether Naruto was able to get between Pa and Pein and if that is his bloods or if it is Pa's bloods.
I find this whole part of the chapter a little disturbing. First of all, why the heck did Naruto stop to chitchat with God Realm after he broke free from Fatso? Where is the anger in Naruto face? Did he forget that this is the guy that kill Jiraiya, and Kakashi as far as Naruto is concern, and destroy the whole village? Naruto should have been going ballistic on God Realm, instead of him stopping to have a cup of tea with him. Now I’m not saying he should have attack Pein head on because he would have just gotten repel again, but he should have been attacking somehow.
Also about Bensho Tenin: it seems like Pein can only pull one object/person with it. Because I think he would have pull Ma as well if he can pull more than one object/person. Also against Kakashi, even though there were two nails in the wood he only pull one of the nails.
WHAT HAPPEN TO THE TEENAGE MUTANT TOADS?
http://i589.photobucket.com/albums/ss335/usmanani/010-1.jpg
With that the show moves on to Shikamaru, Shiho, and Shikaku with a bowl of popcorn, enjoying the show that Naruto and Pein are putting on. Lol. *Shiho is really on a mission to take Shikamaru away from Temari. She is luck that Temari ain't there right now, or else...* They are approach by Ino and Co., with the ANBU guy carrying Shizune body.
Then the scene cut to the three giant Toads, who just look plainly fucked up. Man, words can't express my disappointment in them. What they did last chapter was stupid. Why the heck did they attack head on like that? They should have attack God Realm more intelligently, instead of just rushing in head on. Bunta could have fire a few of his Water Release: Bullet Technique at God Realm to throw him off track, then Ken and Hiro could have attack him head on. But anyways, seems like Bunta have broken every bone in his body. But that is nice because at the beginning of this fight I was afraid that Bunta is going to die, but the worst that happen to him is breaking all his bones. Ken is knockout and Hiro looks like he is at the gate between life and death. Naruto wouldn't be summoning any of this Toads anytime soon.
R.I.P SHIZUNE.
http://i589.photobucket.com/albums/ss335/usmanani/011-1.jpg
The show cut back to Shikamaru&Co., Ino have already told the story of how Shizune died. With that Ino bust out crying, and Shikamaru showing his growth, took charge of the situation. He gave a motivating speech to the rest, that they can't let Shizune die for nothing and they can mourn her death once they have find Pein's secret and the real Pein. Wow, looking back Shikamaru has really grown up. This the same Shikamaru that found it troublesome to do anything else but lay back and watch the clouds in Part 1. Now he is taking charge like a true leader. He has the most impressive growth(I’m not talking about strength wise) of all of the Konoha 12.
On the same page, Inoichi explain to Shikaku that he can't trace Pein chakra back to the real body because Nagato is constantly changing the frequency of his chakra, like an hacker.
So it''s now confirms that that Shizune is dead. I decided to make a memorial for her:
CAN WE PLEASE HAVE A MOMENT OF SILENCE? CAN WE PLEASE POUR SOME LIQUOR?
R.I.P SHIZUNE

DEATH OF ANOTHER SENSEI
http://i589.photobucket.com/albums/ss335/usmanani/012-1.jpg
The unexpected have happen, the 800+ years old Legendary Sage have been impale and slowly dying, if he isn't dead yet. Our hope have been scatter, Naruto was unable to save Pa. For me, this is the most unbelievable, unexpected, and shocking page of the manga so far, the first panel left me speechless. As far as Naruto is concern Pein have now kill just about every sensei that he ever had: Jiraiya, Kakashi, and now Pa. It most be a curse to be Naruto sensei, even Asuma died after teaching Naruto a little about using the wind element:D. These are dark time for Naruto.
I personally doubt that Pa is dead, it's more like I hope he isn't. I hope Katsuyu can save him. I think this wouldn't have happen had Naruto not been chitchatting with God Realm. Had he attack God Realm right there, Pein wouldn't have had anytime to pull Pa toward him and impale him. Even a few Kunai throwing from Naruto would have been enough.
GOD IS HERE
http://i589.photobucket.com/albums/ss335/usmanani/014-1.jpg
Now really angry, Naruto picks himself of the ground and try to attack Pein. But God Realm flick Pa's body toward him, forcing Naruto to stop and catch it. With Naruto busy during that, God Realm pull Naruto toward him with another Bansho Tenin and catch Naruto by the neck. Then he choke-slam Naruto through the ground, showing his strength. Giving Naruto no room to rest, he pulls him back up. Then he place Naruto's hands on top of each other and stab through them, with his black sword. Just like when Jiraiya and Kakashi got stab by the sword, the rennigan appear in the background over Naruto. This means that Pein is now disrupting his chakra, and he wouldn't be able to do much. Arrogantly Pein ask, "are you going to come quietly now, nine-tail?" Showing that he view Naruto as nothing more than the Kyuubi carrier. In this chapter Pein have displace why he is "god".
Confuse at the events that just unfolded, Naruto asks Pein, "Why are you doing this" and Pein decide to have a talk with Naruto to explain why and what he is doing to Naruto. So next chapter is most likely going to be about Pein spitting his BS to Naruto.
PEIN SECRET FINAL FIGURED OUT?
http://i589.photobucket.com/albums/ss335/usmanani/017-1.jpg
The show cuts back to Shikamaru&Co. With Shikamaru explaining what everyone should do, chiefly to use Katsuyu to gather info from everyone that came across Pein in the village. Just right when Shikamaru state that the corpses of the deads should be brought forward too, so that they can thoroughly search them, Inoichi remember something about "bring the corpses". Inoichi then bust out "wait...that's it, I’ve got it." Inoichi most likely remember something that he missed the first time when searching the Rain ninja memories.
MY RANT:
People still believe that Naruto will lose and get capture? Naruto have just about the same chance of losing this fight and getting capture as he had against Kakazu. This fight was set up for Naruto win, just like the Kakazu fight was set for him to win. He ain't going to lose to Pein after he just went to train to fight him, what will be the point of the train if he lose and get capture? What will be the point of Konoha protecting him and getting destroy in the process just for him to get capture? What will be the point of Jiraiya dying for him if he is just going to get capture? What are the point of Shizune, possible Pa, and unlikely Kakashi dying, for him to just get capture?
Like I have said many times, there are three possible outcome for this fight:
1. Naruto wins.
2. Naruto wins.
3. You guessed right....Naruto wins.
Naruto ain't losing this fight, Pein became a dead man walking 6 chapters ago. Furthermore, what is the point of Pein surviving this fight? For Naruto to have to fight him again? That will be stupid and repetitive. Pein part of the manga is over(almost over), it is Nagato's turn. Pein already served his purpose, and it is time for him to end up 6 feet under. Also what is the point of Naruto getting capture when we already know he is not going get the Kyuubi exacted from him? We already know Aka can't exact the Kyuubi until they capture Killerbee. Moreover, the chance of Naruto ever getting the Kyuubi exact from him became 0% ever since Jiraiya revealed that Minato sealed the Kyuubi in Naruto for a reason and that he intended for Naruto to use it to complete "that jutsu". So what is the point of him getting capture?
Also I find it ridiculous that anyone that have read this manga up to this point is actually counting Naruto out already. If there is one thing that will know about Naruto, it is that he is never out of a fight. Almost every Naruto follow this pattern, in which it seem like Naruto is about to lose and out of nowhere BOOM, through determination he pulls through and defeat his opponent.
All in all, Naruto ain't losing this fight.
RATING
I think this was a nice chapter. Pein put on a great show and remind us why he is god.
9 OUT OF 10
PREDICTION
I think i'm going to hate the next chapter because it is most likely going to be fill with Pein spitting his BS. So I’m not looking forward to it that much. I also expect for us to find out what Inoichi has figure out and for Pein secret to be finally solve, took long enough.
So, how do i expect Naruto to get out of the situation he is in right now? Well he need a way to break out of Pein's hold. I think with the way things are heading right now, Shikamaru&Co. are going to find a way to temporarily disrupt Nagato's chakra signal to God Realm. With that Naruto will be able to break free from God Realm, summon the KB at the Mt., then enter Sage Mode again before God Realm goes back to normal. Then we will have the ultimate showdown.
Hope you like the review, feel free to leave a comment.
