I strongly suspect that with all the Madara and Hashirama/Sharingan and Mokuton deification that is going on right now, I don't think Naruto or Sasuke are going to defeat Madara. I think Mokuton...

I sincerely doubt Kishimoto ever intended to put in someone as overpowered as Edo Tensei Madara in the manga when he was writing the characters of the Third or the Fourth Hokage in the early parts of...

But it does ultimately boil down to that. He really IS the main character. He really IS going to win in the end in some way. The only thing that remains to be seen is HOW Naruto wins. If the how is...

I think Kabuto can undo Izanami if he undoes Edo Tensei. If he undoes Edo Tensei, Itachi will disappear and Izanami along with him. That would make sense since what Itachi is trying to do is make...

I've been looking for the track that starts playing in Episode 308 at around 13:04 and continues till around 14:50 (this includes the part where Ichigo facepalms Aizen away from the city and into the...

It is not an asspull. It is Shounen. :)

Yes, but it also took him three months to reach this level. You cannot compare power ups unless you also factor in the period of time it took to gain that exponential jump. So, if you do compare all...

Everyone seems to think that Ichigo got his most insane powerup ever with his current form. But I think it is, in fact, the least exponential power up he has ever gotten.

Think about it. How has...

A question that bugs me is this; how many times have we even actually seen the real Konan fight?

Consider this; after after Pain used that massive Shinra Tensei to destroy Konoha, Konan seemed to...

Or, for all we know, Konan might actually survive this fight, and succeed in making Madara retreat. This fight just came out of nowhere, and I think almost everybody expects Konan to lose; it isn't...

I think the most interesting advantage his two sensing abilities now confer(i.e. The Sage Mode ability and the new Kyuubi form ability), is that it might now actually be possible for him to fight a...

What I really find interesting is that one of the spoilers says the chapter ends with Madara holding Naruto in his arms. Why the heck was Madara even interested in Naruto at this point in time? He...

I really wish people would stop abusing the concept of infinity. Infinite does not simply mean something super huge. It has serious mathematical implications. I think it's quite obvious that the...

I keep imagining that when they show us Naruto for the first time after having tamed the Kyuubi, he'll lose the whiskers. I really want Naruto lose the damn whiskers.

Whether Kishimoto as a person is sexist or not is likely be almost impossible for any one of us to ever ascertain. We cannot even infer this based on his work. A person could write stories with a...

Notice how Bee changed his demeanour almost immediately after his fist made contact with Naruto's? In this manga, shinobi fists making contact has implications. I think Bee saw the hatred inside...

Finally, someone has thrown a monkey wrench into Madara's Xanatos Roulette, and it's Kabuto. He can't just be a fodder villain through back into the fray as a meal for Sasuke's new EMS now, can he?...

Naruto is a bloody sage now. He has mastered the pinnacle of what the frogs have to offer. Somehow, I doubt that he cant summon a toad to summon him back...

I can't even get myself to try to predict the storyline anymore. This whole thing is just one big Xanatos Roulette now. The best I can hope for us that characters keep messing up Madara's perfect...

We've already heard all of this certainty with regards to Itachi. Just about everyone except die-hard Itachi fans felt pretty convinced that Kishimoto has done more than enough to ensure commitment...

The double agent theory does not get ruled out by a list of hostile and unacceptable actions by Sasuke against Konoha or anything else. Heck, if Sasuke could have learned anything from Itachi, it...

Naah. I am sure kishi will just give the Sharingan a new hax power, to turn himself from a frog back to a human.

If you recall the first battle between sasuke and naruto at VoTE, sasuke mentioned that expert ninjas can read each others intents when their fists make contact. I believe that is how the...

Naruto makes an epic entrance. This might just be short lived before Kishi starts giving us Sasuke crap again, but just for one moment this manga is Naruto again. And as far Sakura nearly getting...

I think it has something to do with sage chakra being able to extend beyond the body to perform an attack. Remember when he killed Fat Pain with a punch that did not even make physical contact? I...

Sasuke can use Lightning and Fire. Kakashi can use Lightning, Earth and Water. He can counter lightning with lightning, and nullify fire with water. Kakashi clearly has the elemental advantage.
...

If Kakashi is, indeed, serious about killing Sasuke, he will obviously do it in Kakashi fashion. Unlike just about every other shinobi in this manga, Kakashi is the only one who actually thinks and...

Haha, that page almost reads like Kishi is breaking the fourth wall and reminding all the readers that regardless of what it might look like, this manga still really IS about Naruto.

Actually, I don't think Ichigo will be so much of a pushover against Aizen this time around. I believe this for the following reasons:

While we do not know how strong Aizen really is, we do know...

Maybe Sasuke inherited a hawk summoning contract from Itachi, or something, along with his techniques. Not that we have any reason to believe Itachi had any summoning contract to begin with, but it...

From what I can gather from the spoiler, the Uchicha clan are the descendants of the elder of Rikudou's sons, while the senju are the descendents of the younger of the Rikudou's sons. I fail to see...

I thought the latest databook said Susanoo can only be used once, as the user dies once it is summoned? If what I remember is correct, I think we can safely write off the possibility of Sasuke using...

Lots of people thought Bee was a goner too because when you weighed the 'facts', Sasuke simply looked so overwhelmingly more powerful that Bee did not seem to stand a chance in hell. What happened in...

Er, it was not Yura from sand. Itachi fought using that special clone thingy in the rescue Gaara Arc. Itachi gave Naruto that power much later.

Killing Sasuke is not going to ensure that war with cloud will be averted, in any case. Cloud has always come across to me as one of the more belligerent villages from the lot. Any discussion about...

Sharingan can't see the difference between clones and the real thing. Not Kagebunshin. I've seen nothing in the manga to indicate that it can. The only place I've seen it mentioned that Sharingan can...

Danzou could have obtained any random sharingan. Lots of Uchiha died during the Uchiha Massacre by Itachi. Danzou might have simply grabbed one from one of the dead ones; or perhaps one of them was...

Ah, but perhaps he is no longer a living human ;)

Frankly, we don't KNOW how the other hokages from history would have responded to a massive Shinra Tensei. We just don't. You can't merely view power in the Narutoverse as a 'quantity', this is not...

All the six pains were formerly other people.

Nagato still has the Rinnegan. We have no idea what is the true extent of that eyes powers. Maybe he does not even need to have a working body to be a formidable foe (though perhaps not as formidable...

Absolutely. You know what this means, don't you? Naruto is going to rig up a photon torpedo (Rasengan) to produce a tachyon burst, and deactivate all the Pains!

Ah, true, he did. but he also smashed a rasengan into the ground, which seems a bit unnecessary.

I still think Naruto has a few tricks in his bag. He used two rasengans before attacking Pain just to make smoke. This is weird. Why would he need a rasengan to just produce dust? He could have used...

Pain has been caught in a genjutsu before (remember the frog song). Clearly being dead does not render them immune from genjutsu. Also, the bodies that were caught in a genjutsu last time were...

Or perhaps the real one is not there. Maybe the final 'clone' at the mountain is not a clone at all, but the real Naruto, which would make the Naruto who we've been led to believe as the real one to...

Why does Naruto need a weapon? He seems to do just fine breaking weapons with his bare hands in Sage Mode. I think Kunai are good enough for him, and he need nothing else. Plus, we don't know, maybe...

Honestly, unless Deva Realm has something other than Shinra Tensai, I think he's fucked. He can only use that one power, and has a five second interval between it. How does he intend to defeat Naruto...

So, we have Naruto carrying a scroll with him to summon more versions of himself on demand. Is this a signs of things to come? Will we see Hiraishin no Jutsu resurrected by him in the near future?

Oh for crying out loud, Naruto has learned frog kumite. His taijutsu is excellent now. It is irrelevant to use examples of his fighting style prior to sage training to make a point about his taijutsu...
