Re: Naruto 428 Discussion/ 429 Predictions I am inclined to think that Konan is the key here. Could it be that Nagato's body no longer exists and he is somehow "with/inside" Konan as a shapeless entity? Why else is she there at all? She really isn't necessary for this mission (or...

Re: Naruto 428 Discussion/ 429 Predictions The flashback scene only depicts the FIRST time Naruto tried to introduce Rasengan to Konohamaru. Nowhere it says that Konohamaru got Rasengan down during that particular session. Isn't it more natural to think that Konohamaru had spent long...

Re: Naruto 426 Discussion / 427 Predictions Naruto won't be back in Konoha until January 2009. The series is celebrating its 10th anniversary next year and WSJ is planning to go all out. The first issue of the year will feature Naruto on the cover and the chapter that appear in it will be...

Re: Naruto 426 Discussion / 427 Predictions Well, the difference is that the jutsu used by Jigokudou-Pain (on those two shinobis) is for telling if someone is telling the truth. It refers to the Japanese mythical creature, Enma Daiou/閻魔大王 (not to be confused with Sadaime's summon...

How about a Hollywood live action adaptation of Naruto? I think Ellen DeGeneres will make a great Naruto.

Well, it is part of his shtick. The perception of Enka in Japan is similar to that of the country and western music in the USA. It is considered old-fashined and only for geezers. By sporting that look (plus the fact he is an african american who dresses like a hip hop singer), he has created...

Re: Naruto 425 Discussion / 426 Predictions or maybe he will surprise us by doing something brilliant. He IS the grandson of Sandaime, ya know?

Re: Naruto 425 Discussion / 426 Predictions Well, from the characters' points of view, it is quite understandable that the true nature of Pein is still a mystery. After all, they do not know what WE know. Having said that, I agree with those who are frustrated by the pace with which they are...

Re: Naruto 425 Discussion / 426 Predictions There's some confusion regarding the translation for what Ibiki says on the page 9. Here is my translation of what he says. "A BEING THAT POSSESSES THE SAME EYES AS THE SIX PATH SAGE... THE FATHER OF ALL SHINOBIS WHO POSSESSED THE LEGENDARY...

Re: Naruto 425 Discussion / 426 Predictions What I thought was that Pein saw that Kakashi was dead, so it abandoned Asura pein as it doesn't need it any longer (as of now).

Re: Naruto 425 Discussion / 426 Predictions Seeing that Kakashi is not able to move, someone has to come and dig him out first. Whatever happened to Chouji!? Has he reached Tsunade & Co. yet? or did I somehow miss that whole thing?

Re: Naruto 425 Discussion / 426 Predictions Sorry, I meant black rods, not just the particular one held in Shizune's hand.

Re: Naruto 425 Discussion / 426 Predictions I am sure that the black thingie is still somehow connected to Pein, and Pein was trying to locate its whereabouts. I think in that particular frame, the Pein is simply saying "So, THIS is where it was!". I don't think it/she is necessarily...

Re: Naruto 425 Discussion / 426 Predictions I've just purchased the latest issue (#52) of WSJ, and on one of the back pages is a teaser for the next issue. In it, there is this line about Naruto Chapter 426. It reads, Since this is not a spoiler per se, as this is included in the WSJ...

Re: Naruto 425 Spoiler Discussion I am not quite sold on the spoiler pics. Especially the drawings in the last two frames look a bit rough with the shadings and overall proportions of their hair... Have there been any false confirmations in the past?
