This is stupid thinking on my part, but they'll probably want to use Hinata or Shino to immobilize him. I don't think Itachi would ever fall for Kagemane more than once and Ino's ability would be ineffective against Itachi, I think... I can't see them succeeding. Hinata could close the tenketsu (I seriously doubt this though) so Itachi can't use any techniques, or Shino could use his bugs to eat away at his chakra
 
Well that's under the assumption that they haven't grown since Part 1, and under the assumption that restrain means to keep Itachi subdued for a few minutes (Shikamaru's limit for his Kagemane Jutsu) instead of defeated and able to be taken back to Konoha. I'd say that there's a possibility that in some way the team foils some of Itachi's abilities.

The most possible solution, though, is that they are there for Kisame rather than Itachi. As usual, it would be the support group versus Itachi's support character and the main group versus Itachi.
 
Ha, I called it that this next arc would star Shino/Hinata/Kiba.

So, here are my thoughts and predictions for the next few chapters.

Aside from Kishimoto wanting to include every team in the arcs so far, it's obvious that Shino's team is the best at tracking. Kiba and Akamaru have the scent thing, Hinata has Byakugan, and Shino has his army of bugs. Now the interesting thing at the end of the chapter was the placement of the two teams. It seems to me that Yamato is continuing to have the leadership role of Team Seven, with Kakashi substituting for the knocked up Kurenai. Kakashi is also an expert tracker with his nin dogs, so this makes sense as well. Yamato is grouped with Naruto to control the Kyuubi.

As for what's happening next, I'm guessing the Konoha shinobi are going to encounter one group of Akatsuki (Tobi/Deidara or Itachi/Kisame) and Team Hebi is going to encounter the other group. If Kishimoto decides to stretch it out more, the Konoha ninja will capture Itachi to force Sasuke to come to them while Team Hebi kills Deidara/Tobi.

Makes perfect sense. :D I was just so focused on the capture that I didn't think about the hunt. :P

What would be funny is if
Deidera runs into Sasuke's group and gets completely overwhelmed. Though, that wouldn't let Tobi show off his power, so it's more likely that they'll run into Naruto, I guess.

Dammit can't wait to see Hinata again... and you finally get a peek at her and she is wearing a damn Raincoat :(

I want to see how much she has grown :D

That sounds so wrong and creepy
 
I finally caught up on the anime through shipuuden, and now I'm interested in reading the shipuuden chapters of the manga.

Where do you guys download the manga from?

Yeah, story didn't move much but the animation itself looked a heck of a lot better to me.
The animation was improved. Hopefully, this is a sign that they're improving. At least these way dragged out fights are over.
 
Does Naruto ever learn to initiate rasengan without using a clone? I mean the basic version of rasengan. He's gotta work on that. Good episode. Too bad Gai's first real action is when the animation is the worst. PEACE.

Bah I dunno. I still thought it was pretty bad. Was pretty bored for most of it in all honesty.

yeah, it was still bad, but it was good in comparison.

as for the manga chapter, I am calling it now that
Karin is watching Naruto/Hinata/Yamato and Deidara is watching Sasuke, Karin vs Hinata in a few chapters, just watch.
 
[manga]
I think Sakura found Itachi and Deidera found Sasuke. I dunno if that's supposed to be the same foot, though... Dunno who's watching Sasuke and Naruto...

If you really want to know...
Nope. He never learns to just pop it out like everyone else who learned it.



And if you want to get spoiled way way further on in the story ...
his new Rasengan requires even more clones to perform it. :\
 
manga
wow 355 covered much ground than most chapter before it, it's all leading up to somthing big now, it's about time really!!

why would sakura find itachi? one person is stalking naruto, yamato, and hinata. The other is stalking Sasuke. We know Deidara is at least stalking one of the groups.

I don;t know where Itachi fits.

Yeah, it seems the pace has picked up considerably and hopefully in two chapters we have 2 battles on our hands. And in the future, we might get a huge cluster****.
:D

One of the dogs found a Uchiha sent...
I'm just guessing for a twist. :P
 
Manga:
There are 6 good guy teams (Yamato/Naruto/Hinata, Sakura, Sai, Kiba, Shino, and Kakaska. there are 6 "bad" guys (Juugo, Karin, Siugues..whatever, Sasuke, Deidara, and Tobi. I got a feeling the its going to just be 6 individual battles at first with each good guy "team" having one of the individual bad guys.
 
Anime:

I liked this episode and it had some decent animation (not the best, but better than what we've seen recently). I even found some cool gifs made by other people that I think show it off well:

And the manga this week was great too.
Tobi and Deidara are ready to attack, and we'll probably get some other confrontations as well. Plus Naruto is with Hinata, so that will be interesting in itself

I don't think Tobi and Deidara have split up yet. I think both stalkers in the manga were from Sasuke's team. The one with Sasuke might be Sakura, but I doubt it. And I'd guess Deidara found Naruto and co, meaning a 3v2v1 confrontation. I'm pretty sure that the majority of the konoha force will be lost in the forest for most of the battles.

And the anime was terribly lopsided. I can't stand it when quality varies so much in a single episode.

This worries me a bit... I know she was placed together with him for a reason, I want to see Hinata show some skill and that stupid mangaka better not even think of killing her off in these encounters :(

For some reason I gave up on Naruto/Hinata or Naruto/Sakura romances - Naruto seems too dumb to pursue a girl, I also think he likes Sasuke best :p
 
oldschoolpinball said:
so whats going on with orochimaru?
In the manga or the anime?

In the anime you got to see him in the first ep, I think. You go a long time without seeing him or Sasuke in the anime. That's why they put him and sasuke in the first ep. There's the whole Gaara stuff to deal with right now, anyway.

I think his time with Jiraiya made him come out of the closet. Brokeback Naruto "training" in the mountains. Notice how he didn't learn very many techniques? Just sayin'!

Seriously, though...he was pining for Sakura all the time when he was a kid and now that he has a chance and Sakura is falling for him, he couldn't care less. Where are those teenage hormones? ;b

Konohamaru will get laid before Naruto.

WHOA PAKKUN IS BACK !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I hope something will happen next chapter
I want to touch Pakkun's paw pads. :( btw- did you guys notice the Shino looking dog went with Shino? Awkwaaard~ :P
 
356:
So does Orochimaru exist in Kabuto? Kabuto said he wants to exceed Orochimaru, and he literally has part of Orochimaru's face, albeit with his own personality dominant.

I also hope to see Tobi do something... and kick Sasuke's ass. As deidara's the most popular Naruto character of late, i doubt Kishimoto would kill him off just to show Sasuke's power. I also hope they didn't make Sasuke into some god character whom succeeds where a KAZEKAGE JINCHUURIKI failed.

KABU
CHIMARU
Confirmed.

Now that was a plot twist out of nowhere lol.

As for
the Saskue fight, no way he is taking out TWO Akatsuki characters at the same time by himself.
It's either going to end with one of them injuryed & having to retreat.
 
re: manga.

Is it just me or does it seem like Kishimoto has no idea what he is doing with the manga at this point and is just sorta writing it along instead of to a master plan? Orochimaru's had pretty much no point in the story post-chuunin exam and just sort of been there because Kishimoto didn't know what to do with him.
And now it seems like Kishimoto is still unwilling to get rid of him
. The plot in the manga just seems like "who cares, watch fights". :\

Kishimoto isnt exactly a good writer and most of the ideas in Naruto were already 'inspired' by other manga, at this point I think he is just making it up as he goes along because he doesnt have a grand idea of what direction to take the manga.
 
Manga stories like Naruto's aren't exactly hard to write. Can't he just sit down for a week and plot out the main arcs? Or maybe having a 'grand plan' would require a fixed ending and Kishimoto hasn't finished milking the franchise yet and doesn't want to stop.
 
Gimme a break. The manga paces as slow as the anime. There isn't much to write. But from the sounds of it, the Naruto creators might be getting all 24 on this series with early character exits. Is Shippuuden Ep 16 subbed yet? PEACE.

EDIT: nm

Yup. Just started watching it myself.

And i don't understand why the creators don't do it like Bleach. I think Bleach handled the fillers pretty well, and now the arrancar story arc is getting really cool.

Don't understand, with a year and a half of fillers you would think they would know what to do now.
 
Linkzg said:
well, looks like
Deidara is dying soon, Sasuke will easy finsih him off and Tobito will not try to help.
I think it's more likely that
Tobi will fight while Dei watches, and Sasuke will take him down effortlessly. Then Dei will run away.
 
Freshmaker said:

Deidara doesnt need to live on and he was the one who started the fight, he will be the one to die. Tobi is most likely Obito or Rin, so he would stick around for Kakashi's sake.
 
Manga:
Well, didn't see Kabuto coming even though we were all wondering where he was. I wonder if Kabuto just went psycho or if there really is a piece of Orochimaru in him. If he does, then he's not inside Sasuke...right? Oy, this is getting ricockulous. :lol

Anyway, looks like we get the same ol' one group talks while the other group fights scenario instead of an huge blowout. Looks like Sasuke vs Deidra while Tobi watches.

:lol @ Tobi running from Sasuke

Anime: Oh great, now we have more filler. Hooray! That whole boardroom scene was so laughable, btw. Looks like next week's episode will have decent animation. Too bad it will be wasted on more filler. 2 years of filler and now filler within the main plot. Wonder what will happen with Kakashi Gaiden.

I think they're just trying to avoid running out of material like they did with Part 1.... Although I have to admit, even if they just went straight-foward like the manga, it likely wouldn't catch up to the manga this time around. I am getting alittle annoyed at the filler material thus far, reflecting upon things that have already been reflected upon before and such.... Hopefully it will pick up the pace when they finally reach Deidara and Sasori.

The next episode of the anime is 'Gaara's Death' ? Does he actually die?
Next episode will not resolve the Gaara arc especially with all the filler that's going on in the anime. That's all I'll say. :P Next ep is out today, anyway. ;)
 
Tritroid said:

SHould be obvious, but since I'm sure I'll probably end up ruining someone's life with this regardless of the tags, Tritroid's question is directly answered below. Don't read further if you are concerned about knowing anything about future episides of the anime..
No, but he does get the sand spirit sucked from his body. There's more to it that Gaara living tho...

Sucks that
The most interesting new character, IMO, has to die though. Especially since she lived through 2 wars... She was just so interesting.

It's a shame, yes, but it wasn't super surprising. The young moving ahead of the older generation, and the older generations being there to support and fuel the growth of the new crop is one of Kishi's major themes.
