I think utter defeat and failure would result in Sasuke seeing the error of his ways. It could be in death or he could come to this realization without dying. I think that after all his efforts fail him, sasuke may realize that he had been wrong all along. He might realize that his hatred could...

Re: Naruto 492 Discussion / 493 Predictions @gold Yeah but that's assuming that the Biiju behave like normal, ordinary animals. Sure, foxes are supposed to be cunning predators but that's where the similarities between the kyuubi and an ordinary fox might end. Also, I don't think we'll see a...

Re: Naruto 492 Discussion / 493 Predictions From the way things turned out in the previous few chapters, kyuubi latches onto a person's hatred and uses that as a means to take over their mind. Naruto obviously has a lot of resentment for the way he was treated, understandably, which makes him...

Kinda makes you wonder what exactly are EMS's capabilities and what sort of new dojutsu's can it do. I mean we even have some sense of rinnegan's abilities but EMS seems like a total mystery. @Delbi: To be fair, you can't really be a noob with the sage mode. It's really difficult to acquire and...

I think the copying ability of Sharingan stems from the insight it provides in regards to a justu. Sasuke, Itachi and Madara use this 'eye of insight' quite frequently and quite well but they don't bother copying techniques because they don't need to or can't as 3cmm explained above. Sasuke...

Re: Naruto 480 Discussions / 481 Predictions I don't even think kishi would bother explaining what really happened and the stream of blood coming from karin's mouth indicates that some damage was done, at least.

Re: Naruto 480 Discussions / 481 Predictions That still doesn't change the fact that his actions were greatly cold-blooded. Furthermore, the chapter ends with sasuke basking in the glory of his kill rather than being concerned for karin. That could change next chapter, though I doubt it.

Re: Naruto 480 Discussions / 481 Predictions I don't think Sasuke wanted to or tried too hard to spare karin here. She is indeed a sacrifice for his victory. And Sasuke may even come to hate himself for it, later. The situation where karin survives is such that Sasuke and Madara escape, sakura...

Re: Naruto 477 Spoiler Discussion With Itachi there, I doubt that naruto will have to do anything. :) The crows apperared from sasuke so I think its more linked to sasuke though naruto and sasuke could be more connected than ever because of Itachi's technique.

Re: Naruto 477 Spoiler Discussion We haven't seen sasuke's reaction to Itachi yet. We just see crows appearing from sasuke and the last page focuses on danzo and his reaction to Itachi's appearence. Sasuke's reaction comes next chapter, hopefully.

Re: Naruto 477 Spoiler Discussion And with Itachi appearing, we can definitely expect the plot to move forward. First we have Danzo repeating the lines that sasuke isn't following Itachi's path in previous chapter as well as in this chapter. Then we have Itachi appearing. We can expect Itachi...

Re: Naruto 477 Spoiler Discussion Sasuke turned into a 'hawk' after his fight with Itachi. He lost Orochimaru and his bond with snakes because Itachi sealed orochimaru. Sasuke didn't use the hawk against deidara because he didn't have it at that point. He had snakes and he did use them. Hawk...

Re: Naruto 477 Spoiler Discussion We haven't really seen Itachi use summons and if anything, crows seem to be his pals. Sasuke does know how to use kuchiyose. Making a contract with other animals isn't time consuming so this hawk summoning isn't that big of a deal.

Re: Naruto 477 Spoiler Discussion Making a contract for a kuchiyose is not that big of a deal, anyways. No deal to get so upset over it, people. And sasuke wings some of this stuff like manipulation of amaterasu. That's just kishi's way of reiterating that sasuke is a genius. Ever since shishi...

Re: Naruto 477 Spoiler Discussion I agree that Itachi passing out doesn't mean much but if Sasuke vs. Itachi is any indication, Itachi still lasted quite a long while. He fought toe to toe with sasuke until sasuke ran out of chakra, still pulled out a susanoo and had enough chakra to seal at...
