The idea that Naruto has to die simply because Sasuke feels that he can't have any emotional attachments clouding his judgment is such a stupid plot device to justify this battle

Well, Sasuke also has to kill him to prevent him from interfering with his plan. It's not like Sasuke would have free reign to do as he pleases if he let Naruto go, like killing the 5 Kages and whatnot.
 
Sakura should be grateful that Sasuke didn't have feelings for her too

or else she would've been on his hit list as well............ or maybe that is the reason why he tried to kill her multiple times :p

shouldn't Naruto just use Senjutsu and end this fight?

I mean, Sasuke can't absorb that kinda chakra.

in hand-to-hand combat, no one alive should be on the level of Naruto right now.

Glad to see some fisticuffs, but Naruto seems once again handicapped.

I want to see some frog eyes and Sasuke launched into a mountain already.

Yeah but he needs time to stay still and mold sage chakra, nows not the time. He should have summoned ma and pa.

I could do without the stupidly explicit in your face parallels to Madara/Hashirama. Or maybe I just can't get over the whole reincarnation cycle making everything repeat, "it's like poetry", blah blah blah. I legitimately laughed when I saw the statue heads got cut off and they landed next to them.

Reincarnation shit is terrible it weaken the Naruto vs Sauske story.

Hmm Naruto was already tired about before the fight started.

The fact he was still able to one shot Sasuke's bijuu powered Susanno shows there's still a big gap in their power in my opinion.

That's not the reason Sasuke has given. He plans to stay in the shadows - there's no reason why he can't simply avoid Naruto like he'd be avoiding the ENTIRE SHINOBI WORLD.

To summarize what I'm going say in list form:
Sasuke literally wants to become Itachi, except for 2 things:
1. He plans to do what Itachi couldn't - kill the person most important to him and become truly alone.
2. Itachi was concerned with protecting the Hidden Leaf. Sasuke is concerned with protecting the entire shinobi world.


The reason Sasuke has given for killing Naruto is because he has to be completely alone in order to do what needs to be done. He has to do what Itachi couldn't do - sever all of his bonds with others. Itachi couldn't bring himself to kill the one person most important to him - that not only ended up being his downfall, but it jeopardized the existence of the very thing he was trying to protect (the Hidden Leaf Village) when Sasuke began plotting to destroy the village.

If Sasuke couldn't bring himself to kill Naruto, then would he be able to act against Naruto if, say, Naruto was manipulated to lead a Leaf attack on the Stone village in the future? Would he be able to set aside his feelings and rule from the shadows in a way that wasn't inherently biased towards the leaf, which Naruto held so dearly? Probably not - and this would lead to a disparity in power, causing distrust and resentment between the leaf and the rest of the shinobi world, and eventually would spill over into conflict, ruining the entire mission (to protect the world).
 
Oh, I just realized Naruto is probably going to grab Sasuke's Chidori so their palms touch and the tsukuyomi is released. Or am I mistaking which hands their special signs are on?

As for Sasuke's motivation, you're thinking too far ahead. How do they resolve the fact Sasuke wants to kill the 5 kage without fighting? Or that Naruto won't let Sasuke walk away again and would try to drag him back to the leaf by force even if Sasuke said "whatever I'm leaving"?

And I think his explanation was sufficiently vague that what it means in practice is unknown. Whether he's a Danzo or Itachi, presumably he would find himself in confrontations eventually, and Naruto would presumably be spending his every waking moment trying to track him down. Eventually they would have to fight again no matter what. Wanting to kill the bond is not the only reason Sasuke might want Naruto dead.

After double checking the runes are definitely on Sasuke's left arm and Naruto's right (which is bandaged in the Last). I'm sure this was brought up earlier I just never noticed or made the connection until now.

Today's chapter was pretty awesome, loved the close combat. Kishi can pull of some pretty awesome stuff. Gonna wait for a better translation and read it again. Oh and I honestly want Sasuke to win but I think that's a clone he's going to strike.
 

double jump

you haven't lived until a random little kid ask you "how do you make love".
I wish all fights got this dirty during the series.
completely different series and genre but this fight reminded me of
Brienne vs hound
from game of thrones.

No! Just let it happen Kishi! Have enough balls to kill off your main character!

Even if we didn't know that won't be happening, I'd say that ending the chapter BEFORE the strike guarantees that it'll be stopped/avoided/somethinged. Woulda ended with it piercing him, otherwise.
 
why doesnt he just sage mode and kill sasuke?

Why are people forgetting what Naruto has been bleating out for years?

He's not going to kill The Sauce, he will do everything in his power to save him. If that means dying, then so be it (but he won't die, it's just to show his resolve in trying to save The Sauce). He's not going to pull a Hashirama and stab him from behind.

It's not going to happen. He'll fight him head on and continue to do so until he forces The Sauce to abandon his hate. It's the Neji fight redux.

One question, in [other site] translation there's a part it says that volume 71 and secret book will be on sale November 4th.

Is that correct? so less than 2 weeks to finish?

So how can you attack someone unarmed with Rasengan and not be aiming to kill?




Yes because Naruto was the only one who participated in the war.

Compared to Sasuke he's been fighting a lot longer.

Plus he was soloing Kaguya while Sasuke was wondering around a desert wondering how he got zapped away.




Also wooo MS translation is out, the MP version was missing a page for some reason... I thought Naruto took his jacket off to get rid of the Amaterasu.
 
LOL @Naruto taking Amateratsu off like a coat. But to be fair, a coat gets warmer than ammy

"Bitches don't know, bitches don't know, bitches don't know, bout my ammy coat. 🎵

Amaterasu
Once considered an overpowered hax jutsu capable of burning through anything.
Now able to be simply shrugged off.

This is why the fight makes little sense. Hagoromo couldn't beat Kaguya on his own, but naruto seemed to be handling her well. Which suggests that he was more powerful than hthe sage. And last chapter Kurama was like "This isn't good. It's like we're up against the old man himself"

Also the (full?) power of the 9 tailed beasts including half of Kuruma and Susanno was destroyed in one hit by the other half of Kuruma and sage mode...

He didn't actually say that Sasuke was on Hagoromo's level of power, it was just the way he was able to skillfully manipulate the Bijū's chakra.

Still can't believe SP literally just changed Sakura's design and used the original for Hinata. What the fuck is up with that?

I think the way they changed Sakura's proportions was silly too, but lets not jump to ridiculous conclusions. I'm sure Kishimoto was responsible for designing that Hinata as well.

This chapter confirms my thoughts: Naruto can finally form a rasengan without his clones. In the past, he required the Kyuubi chakra to do it, but during the fight Obito taunted him, he made one without a clone using only sage mode. And now, we see Naruto forming one on his own, no clone in sight. I guess the finally mastered it.

Didn't the nine-tails just say he got done building up natural chakra? Kind of confused if that is what Sasuke was absorbing.
In my opinion, it was fucked up. Art wasn't just one of my complaints back then. I had problem with the way the studio treated Pain (Nagato's body) in that episode. Dammit, I can't explain my reasons well since its the one episode I just can't stand to watch and haven't watch since it first aired. Well, the one non-filler episode anyway. Argh! If the site wasn't dead and searching for old posts wasn't a hassle, I would just copy and paste the 6 paragraphs long post I made back when the episode first aired. I was such a hardcore fan back then. Not anymore these days.

All I could remember was complaining about the way Pain (Nagato) was characterized in that infamous episode.

Narutocentral is the site btw. Haven't been there in four years now. Then again, it was around that time I had my "I'm bored of Naruto" period.
Yeah, it was so ridiculous because if the strikes from the nine-tails were just throwing Pain around like a rag doll with no other effect, why would Naruto's strikes one-shot Pain? How would a simple rasengan do it?

Uh, who cares? There is not some anti-Sakura conspiracy going on here. Do you think the guys there sit down and go "Well shit, Kishi has made Sakura look too good in the concept art! Better make our main girl HINATA take some of her sex appeal to make sure Naruto ends up with HER"?
