Just keen to know which episodes have the best fight scenes as i've never seen the prog aye.
So far every one i've downloaded is all talking:(
-
it just gets better - first 16 slow but then bam - will find some good fights for you later
-
130ish between sasuke and naturo
-
your better of to watch the story line tbh, but episodes 7-8 with Kakashi and Zabuza is one of the first fights.
-
The fight between rock lee and gaara in the chuunin exams was fucking awesome.
-
Yea. The fights aren't really all that long, like in DBZ, where they spend a few days powering up first. But they do happen quite regularly. Just don't watch anything from about 100 onwards. Or you'll cut yourself, or something.
-
Thats the suck thing tho. Even after the endless filler, shippuden isnt really getting hold of me. wow naruto is supposed to be so tough yet all he ever does is rasengan and kage bushin.
-
well, so far as the fillers would have you believe. You're getting sick of it because you've seen it so many times.
Don't worry, he invents his own move soon.
And some more exciting shit happens in between.
But from what you say, it sounds like they're doing a bleach, lacing fillers inbetween real episodes.
-
The fight between rock lee and gaara in the chuunin exams was fucking awesome.
Hell fucking yes.
Get the 3 movies dude. The 3rd one, Animal Circus of the Crescent Moon i think, has one of the best fight scenes on the planet :D
-
i like neji vs naruto ummm gaara vs naruto was also so awesome
-
Lee vs kimimaro was pretty cool

Just keen to know which episodes have the best fight scenes as i've never seen the prog aye.
So far every one i've downloaded is all talking:(
None of them.
They span about 46, just like Dragonball Z... only with less actual fighting.
Chuunin exam has some good ones though.
*edit*
owait.
Tiwa superdig.
I was really confused for a sec there "like, omg wtf Who's been using my name... I don't watch Naruto... wtf, how would I even know that!?"
Then I realized it was 2 years old.
And I probably would have had it fresh in my mind.
LOOOONG before the year of fillers.
And all and any fillers in between.
-
Tiwa superdig.
Hehehe
Give the game a go. Its alot of fun, but I've yet to win another game(First guy I played against surrended). Classic Team 7(Naruto, Sasuke, Sakura) seem to not work as well as a custom group, e.g Shikamaru, Hinata, Lee.
Kage Mane + Jyuuken + Konoha Senpuu is a deadly combo attack
HOWEVER: Two Chidori's and you die so I guess there is a trade-off there and the Shiyanaro stun is pretty handy
-
Ive played it, it was fun while the novelty lasted but got boring after a while.
-
Lee vs kimimaro was pretty cool
Indeed.
old thread is old.
-
^ I don't even remember what that means tbh.
-
naturo = awesome cartoon. Fuck I hate that stupid chick Sakura, after all naturo does for her she sides with the bad guy. After talking to an asian dude at work he explains Japanese cartoons are always like that.
Also that power crazed sasuke guy can fuck off... thinks he's all that. Naruto needs to smack him around a bit and release the full power of the nail tails.

Best fight scenes so far:
Deidara vs Sasuke
Itachi vs Sasuke
And the best one....
Sasuke vs The Five (four since one runs off) Kage
-
Someone reads the mangaaaaaaaaa.
-
If you want to watch it for the fight scenes, get the movies.
Movie 3 seems to have the best fight scenes, back when Naruto raged out with the nine-tails chakra.
AKA Naruto: Animal Circus of the Crescent Moon (i think).
-
Tiwa strikes again?
*scrolls up*
Oh yup :>
***
Manga is the only way to get the good shit tbh.
Sounds like I should start reading again, but it just takes up too much time :<
-
anime is terrible imo
After the last lan i went to i realised i had almost 100gb of anime, got deleted straight away, never even opened the folder
-
Cool story bro.
-
Its special with anime, like onemanga the website I go to to read manga doesnt have hellsing or trigun, so ill watch the hanime.
-
Best fight scenes so far:
Deidara vs Sasuke
Itachi vs Sasuke
And the best one....
Sasuke vs The Five (four since one runs off) Kage
your missing naruto vs pain... Epic as bro
cant wait to see how danzo vs sasuke turns out next
-
so ill watch the hanime.
Stupid no Shonen Jump this week! Damn new year
your missing naruto vs pain... Epic as bro
I was thinking about that one, but that is split into two fights
Pre-Hinata getting owned
Post-Hinata getting owned
-
Has Naruto actually faught Pain yet?
Hasn't it just been Jiraiya vs. Pain?
-
Pre-Hinata getting owned

pre hinata was the best part, the talking to win the fight was a major let down imo and the BS rez of half the village

Hasn't it just been Jiraiya vs. Pain?
they havent got that far with the episodes yet, i think its about 2-3 away.
thats if there are no fillers

lol how many clicks a day do you make? im sure an extra 15-18 isnt to much to ask.
-
Nah, but I have to fit the shit to screen, zoom in and out, move the stuff around...
Checking a forum takes seconds.
Reading a comic takes considerably more effort, and draws you in for longer ><
-
I spent an hour reading manga yesterday, Ive got like 10 on watch for their weely releases, Its all the reading I do but hey, I ENJOYZ IT!
-
Oh it's enjoyable enough... unless it suddenly gets reallllllly fucking confusing like tenjou tenge.
-
srsly this shit better end soon.
-
Lol. Oh you hit a dry section and like "uhhhhhh ...... wait a minute ... that one didnt have anything cool in it! SHART!"
-
srsly this shit better end soon.
If by 'soon' you mean 'in about three years time' then: Yes. It will end soon
Recap time:
Uchiha Madara knows (and probably INVENTED) about the Inzanagi
Uchiha Madara lost his eyesight
Uchiha Madara stole his brothers eyes
Uchiha Madara probably used and banned the use of Inzanagi
Uchiha Madara has a 'collection of eyes' (including Itatchi's), which may or may not be currently implanted in himself (which would explain the mask)
Inzanagi cannot be turned off, at least not by Danzo
Danzo is not a bad person (that was a pretty big surprise)
Danzo is the secret weapon which was to be used against Madara BEFORE Naruto's birth and subsequent Jinchuriki status
Danzo most likely killed Uchiha Shisui
Danzo most likely stole as many eyes as he could after Itachi and Madara killed the Uchiha clan
-
Wow, so there's more than two clansmen left eh?
-
Wow, so there's more than two clansmen left eh?
In short: No
The world of Naruto is FULL of body part theft and jutsu theft. There are truly only two Uchiha left: Madara and Sasuke
However there ARE more than two Sharingan users, Hatake Kakashi (the current Roku-daime) and Danzo. Kakashi has already demonstrated the use of higher level dojutsu (Mangekyo Sharingan vs Deidara) so it looks like the person with the stolen body part can use the full powers of the part.
Hell: Sasori raised the Third Kazekage from the dead and used all his abilities. Same was true with Orochimaru and the First and Second Hokage.
Danzo is currently NOT using Uchiha Shisui's powers in the battle and the last comic ended with Danzo having only two eyes in his arm left, but no one knows if he has any more on his body.
We've still got a long way to go before Sakura dies a well deservedhorrible, horrible death
-
Wow. How do you know these things are going to happen?
so what about itachi?
-
Wow. How do you know these things are going to happen?
....
Do you watch the Anime?
Uh oh.....
-
Nah, stopped ages ago. Only seen a couple of eps of shippuden (or whatever). Started reading the manga, but that didn't last all that long either. I read up to where it was up to, but then found I couldn't be bothered waiting each week (or I went on holiday and never got back into it, can't remember which).
I ask because I'm mildly interested enough to get vague plot points, but not enough to actually go read it again...

Training to use air type chakra propers.
And something about a dead garra.
Can't remember which came first. But I figure the Anime must be past there by now.
-
Training to use air type chakra propers.
And something about a dead garra.
Can't remember which came first. But I figure the Anime must be past there by now.
I havent watched the Anime since Garra died. Okay, I'll fill you in (though you are missing out on some absolutely SPECTACULAR fights)
Rescue Garra Arc
After Jiraiya takes Naruto away for training for a year and a half (he's now 15 in Shippuden) the only thing Naruto learns is:
How to break Genjutsu (which he cant)
Odama Rasengan (the HUGE Rasengan)
A super-awesome new Harem no Jutsu, which is not seen
After his return Naruto and Sakura immediately retake the bell test with Kakashi, which they win. They then become 'Team Kakashi'
The two Akatsuki (the secret organisation) members Deidara and Sasori infiltrate suna gakure no sato to kidnap Garra, who is Kazekage, and extact the ichibi (The One-Tailed Beast)
This is one of the best fights
After Deidara wins the pair leave the sand village and head off to extract the one tail
Team Kakashi is called to the sand village for help. Kankuro follows Deidara and Sasori, but Sasori poisons him and leaves him for dead
Sand Elder Chiyo joins Team Kakashi on their hunt for Garra. Team Gai (Gai, Ten-Ten, Neji, Lee) join them and they split up the search
Both teams are waylaid by the Akatsuki pair Uchiha Itachi and Hoshigaki Kisame. Itachi takes on Team Kakashi and Kisame attacks Team Gai. They are defeated, but it buys the Akatsuki enough time (three days) to extract the ichibi which kills Garra
Too late does Team Kakashi find the hideout. Deidara enrages Naruto by summoning his clay bird and taking the body away. Naruto followed by Kakashi give chase leaving Chiyo and Sakura to face Sasori
One of the best fights ever occurs
Deidara deliberately taunts Naruto, trying to separate him from Kakashi, since Deidara could easily defeat Naruto (and he absolutely hates sharingan users)
Kakashi unleases the Mangekyo Sharingan, destroying one of Deidara's arms. Deidara is unconcerned, but Naruto uses the opportunity to get Garra's body back. Finding Garra completely unresponsive, Naruto loses control of the nine-tails and manifests into the two tailed version, blindly attacking anything nearby
Deidara loses his other arm. Isnt too concerned (cause he's the frickin man)
Kakashi manages to seal the Nine tails and knock out Naruto. Team Gai catches up with them. Deidara attacks all five of them, even though he doesnt have any arms
Sensing he is probably going to lose, Deidara activates his self destruct technique
Kakashi uses the Mangekyo Sharingan to stop the explosion, saving everyone
Both teams head back and are met by the entire village of Sand who have joined the search, but Garra is dead. However: Using her last strength, Chiyo resurrects Garra sacrificing her life in the process
Sasuke Arc
This bit was quite boring so I'll skip practically all of it
Sasuke isnt getting powerful enough fast enough under Orochimaru so decides to kill him. However: Orochimaru attacks him first and tries to take over his body
He fails and Sasuke takes over Orochimaru
Sasuke then goes around taking apart everything that Orochimaru has done, freeing all the captives. He searches for members to make a team powerful enough to attack Itachi (or at least powerful enough to FIND Itachi). To this end he gathers:
Sui - A wannabe Kisame clone
Jugyo - The originator of the Cursed Seals
Karin - Some forgettable random chick
This forms team 'Hebi' (snake)
Hidan and Kakuzu
Two new Akatsuki members are introduced: Hidan (who is immortal) and Kakuzu (who is quasi-immortal)
They accidentally run into Sarutobi Asuma (mentor of Team Nine, Shikamaru's team). Kakuzu recognises Asuma as he has a huge bounty on his head. Asuma is killed by Hidan, but Shikamaru manages to stop them from stealing his body for the bounty.
New Technique: Kaze Shuriken no Jutsu
Naruto discovers that he is a 'wind type' and that his elemental powers are wind based. After being taught about how to properly create jutsu, he manages to create the S-Rank technique by combining Wind with the Rasengan
After Asumas death two teams are called to hunt down and destroy Hidan and Kakuzu: Team Kakashi and Team Asuma (now Shikamaru's team)
A rather spectacular fight occurs including the incredibly rare Shikamaru fights which are always inventive and worth watching
Hidan and Kakuzu are defeated, but Naruto is forbidden from using his technique as it is too dangerous to the user

What happened to Itachi?
Sasuke vs Deidara: Farewell Deidara
Seemingly by accident: Deidara and Sasuke meet. Sasuke wants information about where to find Itachi. Deidara wants to kill all Sharingan users and would like to practice on Sasuke
Combat in inevitable. The fight is pretty cool and Sasuke escapes by the seat of his pants
Tobi vs Team Kakashi
After Deidara's demise, Tobi (Deidara's new partner after Sasori is killed) stalls team Kakashi and team Kiba. This gives Sasuke enough time to finally track down Itachi
Tobi's fight ends after....
The fight everyone had been waiting for: Itachi vs Sasuke
This fight is pretty amazing
However: Itachi runs out of chakra at the end and dies, even though Sasuke is completely paralysed. Tobi rescues Sasuke while Zetsu retrieves Itachi's eyes and eats the body
Itachi's great lie
Teams Kakashi and Kiba rush to the battle site but are too late
Sasuke wakes to find Tobi tending his wounds. Tobi reveals exactly who he is
Tobi is Uchiha Madara (*cue dramatic music*)
Uchiha Madara is a legendary character, the creator of the Sharingan and the Inzanagi. But the Inzanagi caused him to lose his eyesight which could only be revived by implanting another sharingan users eyes. So, apparently with consent (so he says), he took his brothers eyes.
Uchiha Madara, if you dont know, was the co-creator of Konoha Gakure no Sato (The leaf village). Basically the village became a global super power through the combination of Hashirama Senju (the first Hokage) and Uchiha Madara's abilities
However: The two have a fundamental difference in how they should use their abilities to best effect. Hashirama believes that peace is the best way, Madara believes that only through force can the other villages be made to recognise peace
Hashirama Senju convinces the rest of the Uchiha clan that Madara's way would destroy everything they created and he is thrown out of the clan and village
Madara has a titanic battle with Senju which ends in an unrepairable wound leaving Madara only a shadow (almost literally) of his former self
However....this is about Itachi
It turns out that Itachi had been ordered to kill all the members of the Uchiha clan by the Third Hokage. The Uchiha clan had been planning an uprising against the rest of the village for decades
Itachi most likely did NOT kill Uchiha Shisui, and it was most likely Danzo who killed him.
So: Itachi did the honourable thing for the village and killed every member of his clan except for his little brother
Itachi was a hero
However: Itachi begged everyone to never tell Sasuke about it, because Sasuke (being born into the peaceful facade of the village) would never understand and would blame everything on the village which Itachi swore to protect to the very end
Since Madara tells him this, Sasuke does just that and joins the Akatsuki to destroy the Village of Fire.

Tiwa:
Thanks for all that. Turns out I had read the majority of your 'part 1' update.
Right up to the part where I was in the middle of the shika fight to kill the so called 'immortal' chap.
Good to know the rest. Sasuke fucks me off. Useless twit.

Guess you though that this might be the one that changed your mind.
Also guess that your initial thoughts weren't enough to sway your underlying thoughts towards the style.
Oh well, hehe.

So is this any different to dragon ball Z or is it basically the same because it looks the same to me, what with the art style being identical along with the characters and everything.
-
well, more different than you make it out to be, but essentially; no.

Cripes that naruto-spoilers website is horrible. Do those people even read or watch the manga? That link deserves to go into the conspiracy theory thread
Bleech. Bleach. A workmate gave me all the anime and I watched them (bleech Bounto) up til the Vizards. Then I stopped because I thought they were fillers
Caught up with the manga to find that they were NOT fillers and, worse, they're actually major characters in the universe!
Sasuke fucks me off. Useless twit
Spoiler is so huge I spoilered it twice. DO NOT READ IF YOU ARE NOT UP TO DATE
If he's killed Karin, then I'll be so angry. Personally I think Sasuke is avenging Itachi by killing everyone who knows about Itachi's true motives behind killing the clan
So is this any different to dragon ball Z or is it basically the same because it looks the same to me, what with the art style being identical along with the characters and everything.
Okay, for starters: I *loved* Dragon Ball growing up. Growing up with lots of chinese people, and unlike the embryos today, the original Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball Z was totally uncensored (the old 1980's European version)
Dragon Ball Z dragged on though. GT was just shit
The reason why Naruto and DBZ look so similar is obvious: Kishimoto Masashi, the creator of Naruto, was a huge fan of Dragon Ball
However: Looks aside the two are completely different. DB is about Goku, Naruto is NOT about Naruto (not until Shippuden, that is). Naruto is an epic tale which features a minor character called Naruto. The major characters in Naruto are:
Uchiha Sasuke: The only surviving member of the Uchiha clan, a clan of power ninjas who used dojutsu ('eye techniques') called Sharingan to cast illusions and mimic any ability used by an opponent. The Uchiha clan was totally wiped out by Sasukes older brother, Itachi. Itachi left Sasuke alive for unknown reasons. 12 year old Sasuke is the most powerful of all the low level ninjas
Hatake Kakashi: The most mysterious Ninja in the village. One of his eyes is a Sharingan eye. He is also world reknowned with the nickname 'Copy Ninja Kakashi' who has copied over 1000 techniques. He is the next in line to be Hokage
Sarutobi Hiruzen (Third Hokage): The leader of Narutos home village is known as the 'Hokage' ('Great Shadow') and is the Third Hokage, the fourth Hokage having died ten years previously in battle. The Hokage is a title and a rank meaning they are the most powerful ninja in the village. Sarutobi has been the leader for almost 50 years
Each adventure in Naruto is an 'arc'. The first arc being the formation of Team Seven (Naruto, Sasuke and Sakura under Kakashi)
The story of Naruto starts off quite slow but ends up being unbelievably awesome and incredibly involving. Somehow it has never gotten old (Its been six years since I started watching it) and is always inventive and unpredictable.
The fact that it has been the number 1 anime in Japan ever since its release should be a good measure of its impact. The fact that kids yell "Akatsuki! Itachi rules!" whenever I wander around in my Akatsuki cloak (which is whenever I leave the house) always surprises me
Unlike DBZ, the writer of Naruto wont get contractually forced into continuing the story long after all the lose ends got tied
-
There's DBZ Kai now. A much more refined series of the Dragon Ball Z series. It basically cuts out all the crap and drag along episodes and gets right down to the action, its scheduled for 100 episodes, unlike DBZ which had over 200.
Naruto is overrated IMO. There are many more great anime's out there that surpass Naruto in many and all ways.
-
Naruto is overrated IMO. There are many more great anime's out there that surpass Naruto in many and all ways.
Such as? I've still got time to waste before classes start up again!
For example: One of my favourites is Ergo Proxy, but it ends. It also has some episodes which phone it in (that game show one for instance)
And do the Naruto slayers have an end? Naruto most assuredly has an end, Kishimoto has confirmed it repeatedly.
One of the biggest problems with DB:Z was that once you hit "Power Rating: One Million!", you couldnt go any higher. But they did, becoming more and more ridiculous
Although you have amazingly powerful characters in Naruto, they're 'different' more than 'one more power rating than you'. The five kage for instance or Itachi and Jiraiya
Plus the characters themselves are pretty well fleshed out (minus TenTen) and there are plenty to go around AND it deals with two incredibly important themes:
"Is violence an acceptable means to do good?"
"How much harm is 'too much' for the sake of peace?"
-
Does anyone know where i can download all of the naruto shippuden episodes that has been english Dubbed?
-
How is not having an ending to an anime not good? If anything, it's the anime''s that span less than 100 episodes that are usually the best ones, not the ones that span 200+,
ala One Piece, Bleach and Naruto.
The character evolution is a joke compared to other anime's character development plots. Naruto is good, but not great in terms of what's out there.
Character development - Death Note/ Code Geass/ Clannad (After Story)
Fighting Scenes - Code Geass/ Darker Than Black/ Fate Stay Night/ Full Metal Alchemist, and i could go on.
Theme and meaning - Clannad (After Story)/ Ghost in the Shell/ Honey and Clover/ Jin Roh (movie)/ 5cm per second (movie)/ Grave of the Fireflies (movie)

you what?

English audio, instead of subtitles.
He's to lazy to read them.
-
I hate it when Naruto and the other guys are speaking japanese with english subtitles i would rather it be dubbed
Considering many of the subtitled versions were never well translated in the first place (AnimeOne were particularly BAD at this compared to Anbu), your best bet would be to learn japanese
Incidentally: I've never watched the english version. The closest I've come is to play Naruto: Uzumaki Chronicles.....which got quickly muted
-
I hate it when Naruto and the other guys are speaking japanese with english subtitles i would rather it be dubbed
Holy shit, you watch English dubbed anime?
You have some pretty thick skin..
I have begun to dislike Naruto. Well, the anime, anyway. They always tend to put so much emphasis and screen time on stupid 3-4 episode side characters. It has gotten very formulaic (always has been, but it's gotten very noticeable)
OH, COOL, A NINJA BATTLE...OH, IN A FORREST YOU SAY? I HAVEN'T SEEN THAT. OH LOOK AT THE AWESOME ANIMATION THAT IS MEANT TO SHOW THEM LEAPING FROM TREE TO TREE BUT INSTEAD THEY ARE FUCKING FLYING.
Jesus, bring back some decent fight scenes and the Kyuubi. So much bullshit side stories.
-

Dont forget the horrible, horrible fillers from episode 136 - 221 (shippuden). Thankfully I missed those
nz_wing is probably right, Naruto the anime *is* pretty overrated
So. Sasuke did kill Karin, and Sakura to fight Sai! I guess Sasuke doesnt know that Naruto is at the Village of Iron which is why he is heading to Konoha
Also answered a question Ive always wondered about: Were the first three Hokage related? Answer: No
-
Looks Karin didnt die and Sasuke and Karin have met before in the Chuunin exam. Karin is from the village of hidden grass.
I reckon Sasuke is going to attack and kill Sakura. One of Karins powers is the ability to tell if someone is lying. Wether she will tell Sasuke or not is unknown, since he is just about to kill her and all.
Naruto will reach them when he does it and go berserk.
On another note: I was wondering just what Danzo was going to do to Uchiha Madara considering he had only one sharingan left and one arm. I guess Shisui's eye was just bait to trap him into the self destruct
[edit2]Im beginning to think that Uchiha Madara is controlling Sasuke somehow. Itachi did put that fail safe Amaterasu on Sasuke before he died, but it looks like it might have been in vain
[/edit2]
-
Im not sure if the translation is out yet, but the RAW is
Sasuke vs Kakashi, the Roku-daime!
I knew Madara had done something to Sasuke to make him all weird! He's definitely going to get a hiding now
-
Does anyone else find it ironic that all four members of Team Seven are Hokage level? Hell, Kakashi *is* the current Hokage and Naruto is most probably going to replace him!
I'm hoping that the thing that Itachi gave to Naruto was the memory of Sasuke's dream that being:
Oki kunatara ore mo keimubutai ni hairu karusa ... Ore no yume wa dai ippun da!
Its highly unlikely that the next issue will be a fight. Uchiha Madara better not turn up and stop it (since Danzo wrecked Shisui's eye and he doesnt have anything else to do)
-
Holy shit, you watch English dubbed anime?
Random fact of the day: Apparently the voice actor for Naruto requested that she didnt have to say "Believe it!" (or whatever it is they used to replace the gozaru "Dattebayo!") since it was annoying to say and added nothing to the anime
And note to all other narutards: No Naruto Manga this week. That news made me a sad panda
-
the english voice actor for naruto is raspy as shit lol.
i still watch it just because i cant be bothered to start watching any other anime
-
Dear God i want to strangle the english voice actors!
Japanese with english subs ftw. although i hardly watch it now, just read the manga.
i did like the english dub of dbz better than the jap version while i was at school. same with ccs and gundam wing lol.
and DEAR ME THE ENGLISH DUB FOR TRIGUN WAS ARSE AS WELL!!!! i admire people who can stand that horse crap. i really do. man i havent read the naruto manga in a few weeks. will catch up :P

man i havent read the naruto manga in a few weeks. will catch up :P

can't wait for next ep of shippuuden, hoping to see yamato

Okay. The storyline of Naruto has officially gone snooker loopy. And they keep killing my favourite characters!
-
If they go on as long as something like that has, they always go a bit loopy.
-
flashbacks suck!
-
link=topic=33049.msg1350144#msg1350144 date=1284679238]flashbacks suck!
Quit complaining. When they started Naruto, half an episode would be flashbacks and recaps. I swear they played the entirety of Zabuza vs Kakashi TWICE.
Once again Naruto is back on track with some WTF moments, Kabuto and <blank> vs <blank> and <blank>?! That is going to be absolutely epic!
On a lighter note: I was looking for the Suiro no jutsu and ran into this hilarious story
http://thenarutoway.forumotion.net/leaf-village-shinobi-f41/garovo-somoroku-shinobiwan-said-i-could-be-genin-t948.htm
ROLE PLAY SAMPLE: Garovo was facing an opponent who could use clone jutsu the guy surrounded him in a frenzy of punches from all directions. He tried to pull out his kanga but the attacks made it too hard for him to move. So he flicked his wrists and attacked with his concealed kunai to Whored off the punches slaying a couple clones With those Kunai then trowing those kunai killing several clones making them draw back. Garovo took this opportunity to pull out his kanga and attacked slaying most of the clones 3 remained. He know one of them was him unless he missed him fleeing he readied his kanga and charged killing 2 of them 1 was left. He new it was him the enemy threw a kunai striking Garovo with full speed. Garovo already injured from his battle with the clones was tired and now this he thought he was done for so he used his Clone Technique. The Enemy dispersed in a puff of smoke. Garovo seeing and hearing him laughing his head off in a tree close bye Apparently he was never there to begin with "Shut it" Trowing all his left over kunai at his over confident opponent Piercing his eyes screaming in pain the Enemy fell from the tree Garovo flickering over to him and dispatching his head in anger "Don't every laugh at me" Encasing the body in the ground with his KG walking away lightly as if it never happened.
Amazing. It really is possible to be so bad you're good.

You've ruined my day @ 0830.
-
You've ruined my day @ 0830.
Naruto just hit new impossible heights of amazingness.
Even though I hate it when writers pull the DBZ movie bollocks, in this case the 'edo tensei', the Fourth Ninja War is going to fix it all.
And: YAY! General Shikamaru!!
-
Can anyone else confirm that Uchiha Madara is going to kidnap Sakura to lure and trap the Jinchuuriki?
Also: If that random love letter guy dies and Sakura packs a major sad, then the writing will have taken a major nose dive.
-
Are you talking about the manga?
-
EDIT: Just read it again and realised you are talking about the Anime
No no that's not going to happen lol In fact you are going to see some cool shit
-
EDIT: Just read it again and realised you are talking about the Anime
Well the only reason I could think of Neji attacking the medical camp is either:
Uchiha Madara in disguise.
Kabuto has used Itachi and Nagato to control Neji.
Stealing Sakura is all probably to stop Madara's moons eye plan or bargain him for something.
-
I'm still not sure whether or not you're talking about the Manga
-
I didn't even know Naruto had writers.
I thought they just threw words into a hat and had everyone in the office pick out a word and that would be the script for 10 episodes.

For the Anime the get the manatees to fish balls out of the idea tank.
The manga has an overall arching storyline. You know. Usual stuff. Good vs Evil, Chaos vs Law. Chaotic Good Naruto vs Lawful Evil Sasuke.
It just happens to have above average writing, excellent characters, and an amazingly well detailed fantasy world and magic system.
-
I couldn't stand "LETS GO BACK TO NARUTOS CHILDHOOD FOR THE 57TH TIME AND EXPLORE DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVES".
I stopped watching then.
-
Yeah its almost like you're trolling tiwa because you are referring to things in the anime like you don't know what going to happen then straight away referring to the latest Manga rofl
-

Whaa?
I havent watched the Anime in years and did not know that anything of the Sakura kidnapping sort was happening!
In the Manga: The first day of the fourth Shinobi war has ended and it is night. The medics are healing everyone and some random ninja is stalking Sakura at the camp. I assume the Anime is currently running fillers if Sakura is about to be kidnapped.
-
Nah, Sakura ran to Sasuke to "join" him, after he had defeated Danzo
edit: but the last episode was kinda filler-ish
-
Next Weeks Manga should be really good!
Nah, Sakura ran to Sasuke to "join" him, after he had defeated Danzo
Great!! :D
The anime must be almost up to the bit where Sasuke stabs Sakura in her stupid face. BEST PART EVER!
-
So we finally see four of the most powerful ninjas on the planet get together. Awesome.
Apparently Naruto will finish before 2013.
-
Next episode is featuring chambukimon and saiyanusachichow! Can't wait!
Oh soz tiwa, i just don't understand anime at all. confuses the hell out of me haha. <3 love you
-
bleach is better that is all
-
OMG It is Uchiha Madara!
But what is up with his Sharingan? It is not the Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan :\
-
No Naruto until tomorrow.
Place your bets: Uchiha Izuna, Rikudo Sennin, or Someone else?

Yes because A Wizard Did It (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/AWizardDidIt)
In Bleach, a large mount of contrivances are answered by the Hougyoku did it.
No Naruto until tomorrow.
MangaStream no longer give out Shonen Jump (http://mangastream.com/content/jump)
VIZ Media Licensed Series Dropped
February 11th, 2012
Dear MangaStream supporter,
It's with a heavy heart that I make the following announcement. MangaStream will no longer be releasing the following series:
- Naruto
- Bleach
- One Piece
- Hunter x Hunter
- Katekyo Hitman Reborn
- Claymore
- D.Gray-man
VIZ Media has demanded that we end our scanlation work for all of the above. This comes despite our best efforts to pursuade fans into supporting official distributors by being the only group to actively prevent an archive from forming on their website through the removal of chapters that are older than a couple weeks. They've succeeded in little more than invoking inconvenience to the community as their digital magazine missed the mark; it runs several issues behind and only features 3 of the above series. So long as their product continues to be slow, awkward and inferior to something a ragtag group of nobodies can churn out in a few hours - fans will continue to look to scanlation groups and aggregators for their weekly fix.
The aggressive and escalating nature of their threats have forced our hand into removing the content. MangaStream will no longer be posting full scanlations for any of the aforementioned series, we will instead focus our efforts onto the series we do that are not licensed by VIZ Media (you can assume everything currently on our directory will be continued).
Our final message to our loyal JUMP audience will be this:
Thank you for supporting us over the past two years and making Mangastream your home away from home. It was a pleasure sharing our time with fans who were just as passionate and dedicated as we were.
Although MangaStream will no longer be hosting any of the Jump series, if it's something our fanbase is interested in, we're considering leveraging our connections to bring you accurate spoiler summaries for the Jump chapters as early as possible. We know this isn't much, but hope it can whet your appetite until the dozens of aggregators release the official Jump chapters on Wednesday.
I am distraught.
-
They should do what a scanlator I used to read did: Release text only. No images, just numbered text translations in a txt file.
Can't slap that about. And all it requires is a proper raw (Japanese) scan.
However:
The reason I say used to read is that it's FUCKING hard to follow, lol. (which translation for which text, even though they're in order and stuff... it doesn't always work like that on a page.)
-
bleach is better that is all
Pff. Bleach is the new Mortal Kombat.
Live Action Failure (http://www.animenewsnetwork.com.au/news/2012-02-22/warner-develops-live-action-film-of-tite-kubo-bleach-manga)
Mortal Kombat: Annihilation that is.
On Topic:
How is Itachi going to stop Kabutomaru?!? He cant Mangekyo Sharingan him because Kabutomaru is immune. And killing him does nothing.
-

I am hoping Itachi and Sasuke team up to take out Uchiha Madara.
There doesnt appear to be any other way to defeat him other than stopping Kabutomaru.
-
Tiwa do you happen to have all the current episodes of Naruto : Shippuden? It's been a few years since I watched up and haven't kept up. If you had them i'd be keen to flick you some money and get them burnt to disk or a flash drive.

I am sorry. I do not watch the Shippuuden Anime. I stopped watching after the 'Rescue Gaara' arc.
-
haha dam i have not read the manga in a while now, I think the last one i read
was when naruto was insanely fast (as fast or faster than the 4th hokage) and they were about to fight with the "real real tobi" or someshit (because they found out it wasn't actually madara)
so would you know how long ago that was? (would be a couple months)
-

Before I graduated I used up all my print credits on a colour printout book of about 300 pages of Naruto.
The one you mention is in it, so it must have been in November 2012.
-
http://naruto-tv.com try this streaming site... last few eps of Naruto an Susake are getting exciting!!! time for fillers!!!
-
No Naruto 584 this week?!
:sadface:
-
So Inzanami defines the future by forcing the victim to relive it where Inzanagi changes the future by ignoring the present.
That is absolute genius. Why?
Because the only way to stop the Inzanami is to kill the user of the Inzanami Jutsu. In this case: Itachi, who cant be killed because of the Edo Tensei. And if the Edo Tensei ends, then a huge part of the war, notably Uchiha Madara killing all five kage, will be avoided.
Game. Set. Match.
In other news: If Sasuke doesnt go back to Konoha after this then he should be put down. Not only did Itachi sacrifice his clan for Konoha and his life for Sasukes future, he's sacrificing his unlife for the entire world.
Uchiha Itachi is a true hero.
-
Naruto 587.
There are flow diagrams!! I <3 flow Diagrams!
-
That must be the heretic statue.
-
Issue 590 of the Manga came out 30 minutes ago.
Last chapter in the story of Uchiha Itachi.
-
cool, i've been meaning to catch up on this
-
Good bye Itachi!
I suspected the drawback of the Edo Tensei was that it could not be stopped. Looks like this was confirmed! Releasing it doesnt stop it, it just frees the souls. If the souls dont want to leave, then there is trouble.
Big trouble.
-
Another excellent addition to the Naruto Manga series.
Gai Sensei is one of my favourite characters.
-
bleach is better that is all
Your anime got cancelled (http://bleachcancelled.com/)
Your argument is invalid.
-
I for one will be quite sad when Naruto ends, though the English and Anime versions still have alot of catching up to do.
http://www.crunchyroll.com/anime-news/2012/07/31-1/naruto-to-reveal-villains-identity-this-month
"Naruto" To Reveal Villain's Identity This Month
We've been told to expect the unexpected for the final stretch of Naruto, but so far it looks a lot like the masked Tobi is the series' main villain. He's certainly been the architect of its major conflicts and tragedies. But who's actually under that mask? Series author Masashi Kishimoto says that we will not have to wait much longer to find out.
Still hoping that Tobi is either Uchiha Izuna or is actually the reincarnated body of Uchiha Madara. Uchiha Madara and the Yondaime Hokage both claimed that Uchiha Madara could come back to life.
-
I'm a big fan of Naruto and prefer only watching anime without reading manga. I guess it is more interesting this way:)
Sadly the last episode was a filler.
-
Can someone confirm that Naruto is on holiday this week?
I've been waiting all day to read the next issue: Tobis Jutsu Revealed!
-
still have not caught up with the manga, haha im getting slack.
-

If Tobi ends up being Obito I will pile up all my Naruto stuff and burn it.
-
If Tobi ends up being Obito I will pile up all my Naruto stuff and burn it.
The manga was released at some point but hasnt appeared on some of the major manga sites.
Tobi is hinting that he might be Obito, but Tobi is a huge liar. Also: The Yodaime Hokage managed to hit Tobi without Kakashi's analysis bollocks. It is most likely that Tobis Jikukan no Jutsu and possibly ALL jikukan no jutsu exist in the same dimension.
-
If Tobi ends up being Obito I will pile up all my Naruto stuff and burn it.
Fuck.
-
Fuck.
The Internet went full retard over this.
A twenty-four hour search for "Tobi is Obito" will yield tens of thousands of results.
This is the most divisive thing to happen in the Naruto verse.
All the 'smart' Naruto fans thought it would be ridiculous for this to happen.
All the 'dumb' Naruto fans thought this was the only way it could be.
-
This is pretty much my reaction to the news as well. Not something you want to find out at 5am on a Friday Morning.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jg6AXq-FMDY
-
I was about to pack this shit in when a classmate told me an interesting theory.
Madara is dead (obviously) but before he died he instituted the Rinnengans Heretic Path. Nagato was the third path of Madara and Obito is his second.
Please let this be true.
-

Damn you Kishimoto for restoring my faith in the Manga.
Damn you.

Are they in latest episode or manga?
-
Are they in latest episode or manga?
Doesnt matter. All the people who read the manga deliberately go around 'spoiling' it for everyone who does.
It is abit hard to justify that someone is 'spoiling' something when they dont get to actually see what happens for at least a year and a half. Its like saying I 'spoiled' Game of Thrones by saying that John Snow is actually a Targaryen and that Ned Stark saved him due to the guilt of being behind the massacre of all the Targaryens, but the only way to cover his true origins was to say that John was his bastard son which forever drove a wedge in the relationship between himself and Caitlin Stark.
A huge sacrifice to make for the sake of guilt.
p.s Neji dies in 2015
-
Did anyone get the new Naruto Game - Ninja Storm 3? Prepare for disappointment at the end. And about three hours of cut scenes
-
How is that a disappointment?
-
How is that a disappointment?
Because those cut scenes revolve around this:
Non-Canon Game Ending
As the war is still on-going in the anime and manga, a non-canon ending to the story was made.
Defeated, Tobi, Madara and Kabuto fall back, thus giving victory to the Allied Shinobi Forces. The Five Great Shinobi Countries shinobi return to their villages while Kage discuss on preparing for a counterattack against Madara's group along with bettering the peace between them and their countries. Naruto is congratulated for his victory upon awakening from his battle with Tobi in Konoha and is spurred by the spirits of his parents to join his friends.
Not ALL the cut scenes relate to this, but the end game ones do which is disappointing.
However the after Adventure running around the world is quite fun
-
How is that a disappointment?
Games great. I've ripped out almost all the images and audio from the xbox dvd.
The run around after the war adventure mode is quite fun. The world isnt as big as it was back in the Naruto Ultimate Ninja series, but it is quite expansive.
And the Edo Tensei Kages are available in Story Mode:

How is not having an ending to an anime not good? If anything, it's the anime''s that span less than 100 episodes that are usually the best ones, not the ones that span 200+,
ala One Piece, Bleach and Naruto.
The character evolution is a joke compared to other anime's character development plots. Naruto is good, but not great in terms of what's out there.
Character development - Death Note/ Code Geass/ Clannad (After Story)
Fighting Scenes - Code Geass/ Darker Than Black/ Fate Stay Night/ Full Metal Alchemist, and i could go on.
Theme and meaning - Clannad (After Story)/ Ghost in the Shell/ Honey and Clover/ Jin Roh (movie)/ 5cm per second (movie)/ Grave of the Fireflies (movie)
Animes should end. Bleach is an example of an Manga (because the Anime got cancelled) that doesnt appear to have an end. It is also not very good.
One Piece on the other hand is an example of an Anime that definitely will never end. However, I have never watched it so have no idea what it is about and will leave it at that. It is also the number one anime in Japan since it came out. Its popularity dwarfs Naruto and Bleach.
I struggle to think of a Fight Scene from Full Metal Alchemist that beats The Invasion of Pein when Pein destroys the leaf village.
Also: Uchiha Madara's first fight scene trumps everything. I have no idea what the Anime is going to do when he brings himself back to life.
Naruto's end shows just how good it is. I grew up with Naruto. It totally replaced Lord of the Rings (ruined by the movies) and Star Trek (ruined by the reboot movies). Now that its story and characters are set in stone, it becomes a testament to good story telling.
p.s I predict the Anime will go for another five years. There should be at least two years of fillers.
