Minato could still be the Child of the Prophecy!

minato_by_itachis999-d4o8yo8Your minds could be fully settled that Naruto Uzumaki is the Child of the Prophecy, so hear my out. I think that Minato Namikaze still has a chance of being the Child of the Prophecy in which the Great Toad Sage had first mentioned to Jiraiya. Jiraiya found Minato’s natural genius to be something unique and suggested that he could be the Child of the Prophecy.

However after his death, Jiraiya settled on failure until he finally met Minato’s son, Naruto who possessed no unique powers or genius but something about him helped rekindle the task the Great Toad Sage gave Jiraiya. He grew up and after a number of years, we were completely sure that Naruto was the Child of the Prophecy who would bring harmony and peace to all nations. He gained a number of different powers, mostly using Kurama’s great chakra.

During the Fourth Ninja Shinobi War, we saw the power of the Edo Tensei come alive, a number of key characters were brought to life, for example Madara Uchiha, Hashirama and Tobirama Senju. At this point Minato was finally brought to life, thus rekindling the fact that Minato could still be saviour, he could use his powers in order to bring peace, that is until Orochimaru limits him. The pure fact that Minato is even alive could mean so, it could also interpret that Kishimoto is trying to lead us in a way to which we’re going to be mind blown!

Yes, these facts are not hard, therefore it is a possibility, and thus it could happen. I personally do want Minato to get this credit, we don’t know a lot about him, only what Kushina told us, and so it would be nice to see Minato also get this title, just like the Yellow Flash. The amazing artwork above was done by Itachis999, check them out.

Itachi's Susanoo Itachi looks awesome Naruto's stupid moment Bijuu Dama Yasaka Beads Planetary Devestation by Nagato Bee shot to the head Killer Bee also captured by Nagato Nagato absorbs Naruto's Rasengan Jiraiya and Nagato look at Naruto Nagato stopped by Totsuka Blade Nagato looks up to the sky's Planetary Devestation Destroyed Rasen ShurikenNaruto Shippuden 299 brings another fantastic episode as well as an end and a beginning to their quest. Itachi is fully able to neutralize Nagato as well as seal him, Naruto is also told by Itachi that with great power comes great responsibility. We find out that Itachi’s mission is to bring Kabuto down as well as stop the Edo Tensei. Kabuto gets ready to bring out his trump card to show us someone that will definitely be ruthless in the war!

Naruto Shippuden 299 continues from last week’s episode as Naruto’s been captured and trying to escape. Nagato who’s fully under the Edo Tensei has captured Naruto and is trying to pull out Naruto’s Soul, he notices that he’s not seen this jutsu before. He counts that Nagato has many jutsu. Then uses his Rasengan, to which Nagato absorbs, he notices that he’s previously confirmed that he can absorb.

Nagato enables his Jigokudo which Naruto remembers as being his revive jutsu. Kabuto finds out that he can take out Naruto’s soul, hide his body and bring him to life later on with his control, all this without Tobi finding out. Nagato keeps on pulling while Naruto keeps on pulling also. He keeps on losing power at this point.

Bee keeps on getting closer to them when he’s above them, the animals notices him, and as he gets to attacking rage, Nagato captured and stops him without moving. He uses his body to stop him, Nagato’s arm changes into a gun type machine which gets closer to his face, it charges and gets closer to attacking. At this point, Itachi’s Susanoo appears and it cuts off Nagato’s arms. We notice that the animals eyes has been damaged by shuriken. Naruto and Bee are held by the Susanoo.

Naruto and Bee thank Itachi. Nagato gets up while his arms repair. Kabuto thinks of another plan to which he can use. He thinks about the justu which makes a small planet. When Nagato’s arm is repaired, he enables his Planetary Devastation Jutsu which destroys the ground and makes a small black whole type object which sucks a lot of the ground.

Naruto mentions that it’s a jutsu which cannot be gone against as they would die instantly. Itachi tells Naruto if it’s such a deadly jutsu, why didn’t it kill Naruto. He has one of those stupid Naruto moments. Bee laughs, Itachi tells them that to every jutsu there is always a negative aspect. He quickly comes up that they need to shoot at the middle point to destroy it.

Itachi quickly enables his Susanoo and uses his Yasaka Beads, Bee uses his Bijuu Dama and Naruto launches his Rasen Shuriken. It creates a large explosion to which destroys a lot of the landscape. Although Nagato is far enough to not get too damaged. Once the smoke disappears, we quickly notices that Nagato stands, at one point, he’s quickly attacked by Itachi’s Susanoo!

It bring Nagato back, the smoke clears and he’s able to see them. He says that he’s sorry for doing all this. Itachi notices that he’s back, he tells him that it’s the Totsuka Blade. We go to a past moment when Orochimaru appeared, and was attacked and sealed away, however he escaped during Sasuke and Itachi’s fight. The sword is helpful when sealing away things.

Nagato looks at Naruto telling him that he’s the third and final novel of the collection, the first being Jiraiya, the second being Nagato himself, who was a failure and the third being Naruto when he’ll be able to finish the books with such a spectacle! He also mentions that he’ll return to Jiraiya’s side to watch how Naruto’s life plays out.

Naruto notices Jiraiya and Nagato being him who seems to be smiling at Naruto. Naruto gives him a thumb up, at this point, he’s being sucked in to which he says farewell. Kabuto notices that Itachi was able to defeat him without doing much, he played it out very well and tricked him. He mentions that it’s the perfect time to being out his special reserve!

Itachi tells Bee and Naruto that he leaves Tobi to them while he’ll take care of Kabuto and his Edo Tensei, he’s got an idea to stopping the Edo Tensei. Naruto tells him that he’ll stop him, he makes a clone when his Chakra Mode fails, Itachi goes on to tell him that he’s strong but he must notice that if he doesn’t trust other, he’ll end up just like Tobi, he needs to trust others like he’s done with others. He’s shown his power to get approval from his friends, but he also needs to trust them. Naruto remembers all the close friends he’s got in the village.

Itachi burns the crow telling Naruto that he doesn’t want anybody else to use his eyes because its way to powerful! Bee also tells Naruto that Bee asked him to take care of Naruto. as Itachi nearly departs, he tells Bee to take care of Naruto when he leaves. Naruto quickly goes into his Chakra Mode and is quickly ready to go when Naruto Shippuden 299 ends here!

A great episode but the ending was a little dragged on, although can’t wait for next week’s Naruto Shippuden 300, titled “The Mizukage, the Giant Clam, and the Mirage”, episode when we see the Kage’s go on an all out war on the others, they even go as far as to attack and bring out their Summoning, Onoki, Naruto and Gaara are having a hard time attacking them!

Naruto and Bee vs Itachi and Nagato – Naruto Shippuden 298

Naruto with Crow Shisui Uchiha's Eye Ningendo Nagato on Naruto Itachi vs Naruto Shisui Uchiha Lariat and Gakido Nagato Bee Bee's Sword Strike Amaterasu on Nagato Naruto's Rasen Shuriken against Nagato's Summoning Bee's Sword Technique Stance Itachi's Shuriken Fire against BeeNaruto Shippuden 298 once again proves why Itachi is such a bad ass! Naruto and Killer Bee against Itachi and Nagato! They all meet, unfortunately Itachi and Nagato are being controlled by Kabuto. However, using Shisui Uchiha’s Eyes, Itachi is fully able to escape Kabuto’s grasp and able to do as he wishes. Unfortunately, Kabuto still has control of Nagato which he uses in order to fight Naruto and Bee!

Naruto Shippuden 298 begins with Nagato and Itachi walking a head, still being controlled by Kabuto. They notice something unusual as they may be fighting someone soon. Naruto and Killer Bee approach them, Naruto is surprised by them as they’ve fought before.

Itachi and Nagato mentions that Naruto’s changed a bit, Naruto tells them that he’s currently controlling Kurama’s Chakra, he calls that form his Chakra Mode, Nagato mentions that it’s not the only thing that has changed, it’s also his face, he’s a lot more confident and has a lot more power to which he can use. Itachi is surprised that Naruto is able to command Kurama’s Chakra.

Nagato then mentions that they were both students by the same teacher, and that he’s not surprised that he’s progressed so much. Bee mentions that he’s also his teacher and that he’s helped him enable his Chakra Mode. He thanks all of them for being there. Kabuto notices that he’s already found Naruto and Bee way before Tobi!

Kabuto enables the fighting style within both Nagato and Itachi, which makes Itachi quickly launch Fireball Jutsu! Bee stops this using his Samehada! Itachi notices that since Bee has the sword, Kisame may have been killed. Itachi quickly attacks from the top, as Naruto blocks, they keep on talking, Itachi asks how Sasuke is.

Naruto tells him that he’s still on the wrong side, he’s joined the Akatsuki and wants to destroy the village. Naruto also mentions that he’s found out about his top-secret mission, Nagato is surprised to know that Itachi had eliminated most of the Uchiha except for Sasuke in order to save the Konoha!

Instead of Sasuke following through Itachi’s wishes, he’s going to try to destroy the village. This is his way of resolving his pain by destroying the village which they caused on his beloved older brother. Itachi isn’t surprised to know that Tobi knew the truth about him. Itachi asks if anyone else knows about this, Naruto mentions that only Yamato and Kakashi who were there too. Itachi tells Naruto to not tell anyone else.

Nagato is controlled, he uses his forces to pull Naruto as well as a large rock together  At near contact, Naruto uses his Chakra Mode to help him escape from the crash with the rock! Itachi mentions that it was the right thing to do to entrust Naruto with dealing with Sasuke. Unfortunately, Nagato then summons a large dog like creature with two heads, and a large bird.

Naruto is faced with dealing with Nagato while Itachi deals with Killer Bee. Itachi appears behind Bee, he uses his Samehada but misses Itachi. Itachi uses his Shuriken mixed with Fire. Bee quickly uses his hand while it’s transformed into Eight Tails hand to stop them.

When Itachi touches the floor, Killer Bee’s tentacle appears and grabs Itachi to which it restrains him. Naruto keeps on attacking the Dog like animal, unfortunately, Naruto finds out that every time he attacks the animal it gains a head. Bee approaches Itachi, unfortunately for Bee, he’s gotten goes under Itachi’s genjutsu, his Tailed Beast wakes him up. Samehada helps him out by giving him his sword to which he uses to block the attacks.

Bee uses his sword in order to attack and restrains Itachi, at one point he launches his sword up high, and it tries to cut Itachi. At this moment, Naruto tries to use his Rasen Shuriken but unfortunately doesn’t work as it just creates more heads. Nagato tells Naruto to attack him instead. At the same time, Itachi approaches Nagato and gets ready to enable his Mangekyou Sharingan to which it seems like he’s going to use his Amaterasu! Naruto warns Bee not to get hit by that attack.

Itachi enables it and the weirdest thing happens next, from nowhere appears a crow with a Mangekyou Sharingan already enabled on the crow! It comes out of Naruto’s mouth! It appears out and Nagato is surprised that he used such a technique! Naruto remembers a moment in the past where he was given a crow by Itachi, this was at the time when they were going to save Gaara.

Itachi enables a jutsu, it seems like it’s Amaterasu, Bee tries to send one of his swords but doesn’t work as it’s pushed away by Nagato. Itachi enables the jutsu and somehow it interacts with the Eye which has been implanted into the crow. Kabuto is shocked to see what’s happened. The crow returns to Naruto.

Somehow Itachi uses Amaterasu on the dog like creature in which he stands, it starts burning the creature, Itachi also uses on the bird in which he stand, it also gets a hit on Nagato. He falls down to earth and start to burn. The bird he was standing on is also destroyed just like the dog in which he summoned.

Itachi approaches Naruto and tells him that he’s used a genjutsu to null the Edo Tensei. He prepared that crow in order to respond to his Mangekyou Sharingan for times like these. Kabuto also figures out that the eye on the crow can only be Shisui Uchiha’s! Who’s been described the strongest Uchiha which can control people’s mind without them even knowing it. He had the strongest Mangekyou Sharingan, the Koto Amatsukami!

Using that, he was able to restore his old self. He programmed the genjutsu to protect the Leaf into Shisui’s eye to which he put into the crow’s left eye. He never realized that he would have to be used it on himself someday. Naruto asks why he had the eye and why did he give it to Naruto. He answers that Shisui gave it to Itachi because he knew many people would have wanted the eye for themselves. He gave it to Naruto because he was trusted, plus he wanted to use it on Sasuke if ever he wanted to get Itachi’s Eyes and develop his Mangekyou Sharingan, the crow would have helped him to realize that what he’s doing would have been a bad thing.

Unfortunately, it didn’t go according to plan. Naruto thanks Itachi for trusting him, he doesn’t have to worry anymore because he’s going to try and take care of everything, especially Sasuke! Itachi mentions that Sasuke is lucky to have a friend like him. Kabuto is happy to know that Shisui’s also there with them. He uses Nagato’s almighty push to take all the Amaterasu flames off him. He starts to repair, he’s also turned bad and now fully controlled by Kabuto.

He disappears and first uses his Almighty Push to push everyone away! Then faces Bee who turns himself into his Bijuu Form with red and black, he uses his Lariat on Nagato, however Nagato uses his Gakido which sucks Chakra from Bee, it seems like ti’s also restored his Red Hair as well as a lot of his chakra. He then Pushes Bee then get Naruto in his Ningendo which starts to suck Naruto’s Life Force when Naruto Shippuden 298 ends.

A great episode plus a lot has been revealed, It seems like Itachi may again have to help them out since Nagato is an impressive opponent. During next week’s Naruto Shippuden 299, titled “The Acknowledge One”, when we see Itachi help them using his Susanoo, as well as see a lot of Bijuu Dama action from Bee. Nagato may try to create a small planet again!

Obito meets Nagato – Naruto fights Madara – Naruto 607

Naruto 607 finally begins to tell us what is currently happening between Naruto and Madara, and Kakashi and Obito. We find out that Naruto is pissed as hell towards Madara as well as Tobi for leading Minato to his death during Naruto’s birth. Kakashi is also surprised by the fact that Obito went through such a pathway to follow Madara.

Naruto 607 starts of as Yahiko laughs as Obito calls himself Madara. Yahiko says that if he’s using Madara Uchiha’s name he must either be a criminal or an idiot, he then asks why he’s approaching them. He says that the reason is the Rinnegan, his mission is to lead someone who awakens the Rinnegan.

Nagato quickly asks how he knows about his eyes, Obito says that he’s the reincarnation of the Six Path Hermit, whose dream was to bring stability to this world. Obito says that he had awakened it because larger countries shine while his small country dies in the shadows. Whenever there is light, there is darkness, if winners exists so do losers. He repeats words which were said by Madara.

Obito says that when he’s able to master the real power of the Rinnegan, his world will be complete, Obito then asks for Nagato to come with him. Yahiko steps in and says that they can’t do that, he realizes that Obito is trying to use them because what he’s saying sounds too good.

Yahiko reveals that by knowing the people’s pain, he will come closer to the real world, by this he means to understand each other better. Obito reveals that what he’s just said is no longer something they can wait for, they have to take action because it’s no longer possible in this world. Yahiko tells Konan and Nagato to go. He asks for Obito and Zetsu to not get close to them again.

Obito tells Nagato that he’s going to come to that same place everyday, at the same time. One day, Nagato’s eyes will open and thus he will realize it too. Obito then heads off to Konoha where he spies upon Kakashi looking towards Rin Nohara’s grave. Kakashi tells Rin’s grave that Naruto will be born very soon. Kakashi then goes to tells Obito’s grave.

We return to the night were Kurama was set free in Konoha, during Naruto’s birth. Obito stands upon his famous statue head. Obito looks up towards Minato in the statue. He remembers the moment he first joined his group. He arrives there late, Kakashi and Rin have both introduced themselves there. He introduces himself and says that he’s going to become a Hokage.

Kakashi laughs at him telling him that it’s going to hard for him. Minato introduces himself to Obito telling him that it’s a good thing that they both have the same dream. Obito then tells himself that he no longer cares about this any longer.

We return to the present where Naruto and Bee are fighting Madara Uchiha, while Obito faces  Kakashi and Guy. Naruto angrily tells Madara that he’s the son of the fourth and doesn’t care about Madara’s dreams. Naruto tells Madara that he’s not going to fall for his words no matter what.

Madara says that he was going easy on Naruto because he was a Jinchuuriki, but now he’s no longer going to hold back. He then releases Hashirama’s Wood Dragon. Bee says that he’s really strong, Gai then says because of this it’s worth fighting him. Naruto gets pissed and says that he’s not going to hold back against a zombie because he’s already dead!

Naruto’s Bijuu Mode faces Madara’s release of Hashirama’s Wood Dragon! They both go head to head, Naruto bites on the wood of the Wood Dragon, this hurts the dragon quite a lot. Kakashi asks why he followed someone like Madara, Obito says that he has no reason to tell him, the only thing left now is their Final Fight! Naruto 607 ends here.

What a great chapter, we finally found out how Nagato was sucked into Obito’s wishes, as well as being used by him at the same time. The incredible battle between Naruto and Madara carries on strong, the battle between Kakashi and Obito is going to be epic! The manga is taking a break next week so we will return with Naruto 608 after next week! Can’t wait for it!

The Past Behind Obito and Madara – Naruto 606

Naruto 606 finally reveals to us why Obito had turned over to help Madara in the first place, his desire to live and love Rin overruled everything in his life, even Kakashi’s rival-ship turned into hatred, his wish to create a new world in which Rin and himself are there turned his whole world upside down.

Naruto 606 starts out as the object in the sky in which Obito create now starts to crack and the people start to fall down. He starts to walk towards Rin, while thinking about what Madara had said. He remember specific sentences which Madara has said such as the fact that if there is Light, there will also be Shadow or darkness.

Madara looks at Kakashi’s body and completely avoid its. Obito now looks towards Rin’s body while she’s dead. Obito goes to touch her when he stops himself, before actually touching her a few impurities in her neck start to appear, it’s as though it reacted towards something. Obito is startled but doesn’t care.

Rin thinks of when in a dream, everything goes in the way you want but after being woken, everything changes. Obito touches her face and start crying at the fact that he never got to do such a thing. Obito brings himself to Rin and embraces her as he’s saddened, he says that he will create a world where she is alive. He then looks at Kakashi leaving him there as he’s unconscious. He promises to change the fate of this world.

He tells everything that happened to Madara, he laughs and says that he hopes no one saw him, Zetsu confirms that no one was able to detect him as he killed all the enemies leaving Kakashi untouched, he didn’t see anything. When the reinforcement from the Leaf arrived, they wondered at who annihilated the enemy.

Madara asks if he feels regret for his past teammate, Obito replies that he doesn’t care whether he lives or dies he couldn’t care less, Obito mentions that Kakashi will be in the world they’re about to create, and so will Rin. Obito asks Madara asks how one would create a dream world.

Madara smiles and tells Obito to come closer. Starting from today, Obito will be the savior. Madara enables his Genjutsu bringing Obito into a world where nothing but whiteness is. Madara tells him that they’re in his Genjutsu, he can create and control anything he desires within this Genjutsu world. If he’s connected to the Mazo, he can use its power and create anything, he shows Obito his more younger form.

With this Genjutsu, he can create a world exactly as he wants it, and then he just has to cast it on people thus dragging them inside this world. He says that by using the Moon instead of his eyes to cast this Genjutsu, he can create the dream world. He then explains using the point of view from Six Path and the Tailed Beasts.

At a different point in time, Obito and Zetsu are around looking for the Akatsuki, they lay their eyes upon Nagato who is described to have Madara’s Rinnegan, he had transplanted them on him when he was still a boy without him realizing it. Zetsu explains that Nagato is from the Senju Lineage thus he’s the only person besides Madara able to summon the Gedo Mazo.

Madara previously explained that when his life was nearly over, he had awakened the Rinnegan, with this he was able to break a certain seal, he was able to summon the Gedo Mazo from the stone it was sealed into. Madara has used Hashirama’s cells and the Gedo Mazo as a catalyst to activate and create Zetsu clones.

Someone cannot just activate the Rinnegan without first having both the Uchiha’s and Senju’s power. Obito tells Zetsu that they first need to befriend Nagato as Madara, they will gather all the Bijuu’s and then revive Madara with Nagato’s Rinne Tensei.

Madara has previously thought Obito all the Kinjutsu and Rikudou Jutsu, as well as the In’Youton Jutsu. After this point, Madara mentions that he had put his will inside one of the Zetsu’s thus turning him half of him black.

Madara then does a hand seal in which he removes a black pole from Hashirama’s body, he says that its necessary to bring Madara back, during the Rikudou No Jutsu. At this point, Madara starts to die, he tell Obito to go until he’s back. Nagato looks upon Obito within his Zetsu Suit. He asks who he is, Obito reveals to Nagato that he’s name is Madara Uchiha! Naruto 606 ends here.

We finally know most of what we needed to know about Madara and Obito’s past, I presume that this is the best time to get back to the War. That was certainly a great chapter, can’t wait for next week’s Naruto 607. It’s going to be another awesome chapter, stay tuned.

I’m Coming Home, Konan – Naruto

The author described Konan as one of the saddest characters in the story, there’s are multiple reasons why this is. Firstly she set her life up so that she would have to give up everything for both Yahiko and Nagato. She never had a say in the Akatsuki because she may have believed that it was never a group that she belonged in, she only followed Yahiko and Nagato, she believed in them till the end.

The only time we saw her happy was during her time with Jiraiya while both Yahiko and Nagato were having fun playing games before the Akatsuki was formed. We also saw her in relief as both Yahiko and Nagato were set free from such a painful world, they had died believing that Naruto would save this grieving world from all the pain in it, Konan had also built some trust in Naruto.

The story of Konan is truly sad, and the fantastic image drawn by Warb1rd tells her story perfectly. Hopefully now she’s happy with both Nagato and Yahiko by her side.

The Medic Ninja Killer – Naruto Shippuden 278

Naruto Shippuden 278 explains why the Medic Ninja’s are also strong, not just the ninja’s at the front line. We see both Itachi and Nagato walk around trying to find a reason why they’re there. We also see Neji who overused his eyes and was sent to the Medic are to get help, however this Neji was a White Zetsu who started to kill some of the Jonin Medics.

Naruto Shippuden 278 starts out as a bunch of shinobi’s are sitting down and trying to get some rest, they all talk to each other but have no hope. Both Kiba and Neji keep on looking. Neji keeps overusing his eyes when he falls down for overusing his eyes. Kiba tells him to calm down and go to the medic tents to get help.

Both Nagato and Itachi are walking, they discuss about the Akatsuki and how they were both used for a superior powers. Even this time they’re being used. Itachi thinks that when the time is correct Kabuto will use the Rinnegan and Mangekyou Sharingan to do anything he wants.

At the medical tents many people are injured and are at the end of their lives. Neji appears at the front, they ask him to halt while they scan him to make sure that he’s not a clone or an enemy. While Sakura helps some shinobi’s we see Neji walk in. We also see someone who looks very suspicious looking outside of Sakura’s tent.

Neji and Sakura talk, he says that he needs to work as hard as he can because he must be the one to notice things before anyone else. During that night, we see a Jonin Medic get murdered and killed by a man who we do not yet know.

That night, three people were assassinated, the Jonin’s gather and decide what they should do. Neji arrives and asks himself that it could be anyone from this place, it could be anyone even himself. While another person is watching from a distance, it seems that it could be this mysterious person.

Sakura gets ready to settle down at her tent when this mysterious person starts to walk towards her tent. Somewhere else, two Jonin’s are talking and asking themselves if they know the opposite person well enough, they discuss and it gets all confusing. Neji arrives at their tent

He asks where Sakura’s tent is, he tells them that he’s noticed someone following her. They say it’s tent three. The mysterious person walks into the tent while Sakura watches. At the other tent, it’s revealed that Neji is the bad guy and he stabs the Jonin Medics.

The mysterious persons thanks Sakura for her help and gives her a love letter, he reveals that he likes her very much, she then says thank you and tell him that she’s already in love with someone else. Before he leaves he says he’s sorry and says that he must be a great man.

Sakura sits down and remembers Sasuke. At this point, we see him leave and Neji behind him. Both Nagato and Itachi are talking, he finds out that the user is preventing them from encountering the enemy. They keep talking and try to come up with a plan to all this nonsense.

Neji walks behind Sakura and asks if she’s okay. He says that they must not get discouraged because it will be a bad thing. The real Neji is still at the place where he rests and keeps on arguing with Kiba and Akamaru. Hinata is also watching with Shino, he says she should also not overwork herself.

She says that she is doing this to protect Naruto because this war is about him. We return to Sakura’s tent where Sakura and Neji are talking, he asks her where Shizune is, she reveals it, he tells her that he’s getting an idea of who it could be. Sakura reveals that she’s treating Tonton.

Neji mistakenly says that it’s better than a bad hand injury, he then asks if they’re be able to rejoin the battle. Sakura then stupidly says that Tonton, who is a pig, can still weave signs. Neji says that it’s a good thing that they can still weave signs. Neji asks Sakura for her help because his hand is still hurting.

Sakura tells Neji to sit down. As he approaches, he grabs a Kunai from his pouch and tries to cut Sakura. But out of nowhere Sakura quickly smash Neji with her monstrous strength. Neji finds out from Sakura that Tonton is an actual pig and cannot weave signs.

Sakura asks how he was able to get in undetected. She remembers that the only way they can transform into someone else would be to actually take their chakra, which Zetsu was able to take from Neji. White Zetsu is impressed at Sakura’s knowledge. Sakura tells some other people to take care of this White Zetsu while goes to report to HQ.

Somewhere else, two shinobi’s are faced by a White Zetsu who’s transformed. They are both killed at the lake. At the HQ, they receive multiple reports about this incident. They found out that the battle before was just to collect chakra to which they can attack at night.

They also find out that they’re White Zetsu’s who are able to take form of any person whose chakra has been absorbed. Shikaku keeps on thinking of a plan to counter attack this. He’s pressured and he tries to calm himself down. Naruto Shippuden 278 ends here.

That was a good episode, specially seeing Sakura’s monstrous power. Also nice seeing that Hinata still has strong feelings about Naruto, and her will to protect him is strong. Can’t wait for next week’s Naruto Shippuden 279, titled “White Zetsu’s Trap”, when Hinata, Shino and Kiba are all captured by a White Zetsu within a cave.

Konan vs Tobi – Naruto Shippuden 252

Another episode which builds up to the tension when it comes to Great Shinobi War. We see some hidden bits which regards the fight between Naruto and Pain, as well as the great fight between Tobi and Konan.

Naruto Shippuden 252 starts off with Konan in the Hidden Rain Village as she remembers some great moments with Yahiko and Nagato. While she feels as though something is coming to where she is.

We see that Tobi appears using his Transportation Jutsu which allows him to transport himself in front of Konan. At this point Konan also moves herself from the city centre to somewhere outside where she is able to fight Tobi correctly, without destroying any of the buildings.

Tobi tells Konan that he is looking for Nagato’s body as he wants to remove his Rinnegan. Tobi then asks why, even when Konan and Nagato approved his Project Tsuki no Me plan, they both had abandoned their primary plan, and instead of using the Rinne Rebirth Jutsu for Naruto’s sake was a mistake as Tobi had told Nagato to specifically use it on Tobi.

Konan then flashes back to when Naruto had met Nagato for the first time, at this point he had used the words from the book Naruto held towards Nagato, to prove that Naruto is able to bring peace as well as for them to believe in him since he is the boy from the prophecy.

Tobi had then told Konan that he had encourage Yahiko to establish the Akatsuki to carry out this purpose, he also mentioned that he was the one who gave Nagato the Rinnegan, Konan gets shocked and just unleashes herself to Tobi to destroy him.

She uses an Manifold attack which helps her to gain an advantage as Tobi is able to make his current body into a pass through mode allowing others not to touch him. As Konan gets closer, Tobi grabs her and sucks all of her paper into his technique, he doesn’t notice that within those paper, there are some where are paper bombs. These explode stopping the attack.

We see that Tobi’s right arm has been completely blown off, as well some of his mask, still can’t see who he really is. Tobi says that the moment he sucked Konan in, she intended to blow herself up and take Tobi with her, but this plan had failed.

Konan had mentioned that as Nagato has his faith in Naruto, she will also have herself allow to believe in Naruto as she mentions that she is the pillars which hold both Nagato and Yahiko.

At this moment, Konan then starts to unleash one of her more powerful techniques which literally opens the sea beneath their feet into a large hole, she splits the whole thing into half which allows for there to be no space to stand. The paper at the edges start to turn themselves into the water as they fall down towards the dark hole. The episode ends here.

What an exciting episode, with both a preview from the past as well as a great start to a fight between Konan and Tobi. The end of the fight will hopefully be within next week’s Naruto Shippuden 253 episode. So keep a watch.

Tobi’s Justu sucks Son Goku – Naruto 570

If you guys have read the latest Naruto 570, you would have noticed Tobi’s technique uses Chakra Chains to completely sucks in Son Goku, the Four-Tail Beast. This technique was very similar to one which Pain/Nagato used.

When Naruto took the black stake out of Son Goku’s body, it separated both Roshi, the Jinchuuriki, and Son. Son predicted that he would the ability to freely control himself, but in fact that didn’t work as Tobi still had control over Son.

The main reason Tobi released this unknown and unnamed jutsu was to take back Son, Tobi wanted to keep both Roshi and Son together as he is the Jinchuuriki, and it is much easier for Tobi to control Roshi using the black stake, but as the stake was removed both the body and the beast are now separated.

This technique is similar to one which Pain/Nagato used when Konoha was being destroyed. If you remember this far back you guys need a medal! Nagato had a couple of similar technique which had a similar purpose, which was to pull people into a different type of existence or within a hole.  These technique were Nakara Path, Outer Path, Outer Path: Samsara of Heavenly Life and Human Path (Soul Removal).

That was an amazing episode, hopefully all of you manga readers understand why he was sucked in. If there’s anything else you guys don’t understand, drop me a comment below. The next chapter Naruto 571 is probably going to be one amazing chapter as both Kurama and Naruto are now partners! They will work together to bring Tobi down!
