Evil Genius

Wow I gotta hand it to the guy that makes naruto, he really knows how to keep the fans of his manga in suspence big time. I read the last three chapters at least three times, and I've come to the conclusion that they are probably the most awesome chapters ever released. I can't wait till the next chapter this week, or are they gonna postpone it again? Anyway the way naruto downed the mechanical guy in one hit was an epic moment. I'll admit it was the generic hero comes to save the day complex that we all know and usually love, but you never get tired of seeing a character grow from weakest to strongest. I feel at most there's about 50 chapters left and then it's over with. It was a good manga and hopefully it'll have a very good ending, if not what was the reason in reading it so devotedly?

im hopeing he doesn't try to drag the story out to much longer... i like a good satisfying ending

i think he might have one more arc up his sleeve after this one...

In waiting for some many things to go down I find myself wondering. What exactly do I think of Kakashi's probable demise? Could it been better? does he deserve an out on par or comparible to Jiri? I think he does. Though I've come to realize that kakashi has gotten one true to his Character. Thinking back to the gaiden we saw a young man hell bent on being on time and always following the rules. Looking down on his fellow shinobi and being headstrong, very different than the man he turned out to be. What turned out to being his last stand we have seen sacrifice that is comparible to that of the Yondaime, not quite the same scale of course but pretty much the same. Choji could have possibly lived through that atttack or even avoided it. The same way I've seen arguements that Minato could have defeated the Kyuubi in other ways. Kakashi served himself up in a way that only he could, in a way that would redem him (in his mind) with those he lost in the past.

Also the panel with him meeting his dad was significant in that respect. Food for thought as I await this train!

I'm surprised they killed shizune like that.
unless something dumb happens like if you kill that paper chick all the souls will be released

Yeah, I still can't believe Shizune died either.

*edit*

The new chapter kicked so much arse! Talk more on it later when everyone's up to speed. Seriously though, that was totally badass.

ya that was an awsome chapter [spoiler]i wonder if his new ability he talked about is the finsihed wind rasagan, or if this is actually something new![/spoiler]

why didn't jairiya use sage rasengan?

he did it got absorbed.

This chapter was pure sickness!

Naruto is whoopin some serious ass and it's looking like a cakewalk so far.

I guess that Shinra Tensai really screwed Nagato up. SInce he has to "just buy time" for god realm to recharge. Now he is just offering up bodies for Naruto. Of course Naruto is gladly crushing all of these bodies that come at him. I really can't wait to see what new move he has, also I can't wait for god realm to recharge because I think he presents some interesting problems for Naruto with his power. Though I'm sure it would amount to nothing more than Naruto having to think about it then he'll KO him.

that dog got messed up. stunned,rasengan in the stomach and then a sword through the back and then get its head stomped on

Call me bias but there is something thats just damn sick about "Ultimate Rasengan": http://www.onemanga.com/Naruto/377/13/ Too bad Jiraiya had to be that guy. Naruto just knows how to take something and single mindedly master that one thing and adds variation and style to it. Thats what defines him as a ninja. He isn't as well rounded as Jiraiya or Minato but in every respect just as talented when it comes to focusing. In this respect I will definately find it interesting when he has to eventually fight Nagato(or Deva realm) what he would do. When that conflict comes around Naruto would have shown all of his cards that point and Nagato would be able to make it interesting. I highly doubt the same same thing with Jiri is going to happen to Naruto but he will get surprised I feel after this round of the battle is done.

If only Naruto could learn and remember complex Hand seals. He could become a little more well rounded, but I guess that will hurt his appeal in some sorts. I also like how Ma and Pa have adapted to not being connected to the shoulders and they instead ride on the scroll. This adds to the ability for them to move around and deploy the giant Toads on command. Also I'm wondering Danzo is going to make his move We will have to assume its going to happen before the end of this fight. I'm sure he doens't want to contend with Naruto now that he has a damned near inexhaustible energy source.

yeah, i have to say this chapter was actually sick for a change. i like how tsunade is totally confident that naruto will dispatch these jokers. this is the first time he's actually fought since he busted out his wind shuriken rasengan, if you forget about that garbage with madara in the woods, and it's nice to get a feel for his very real progression since he started training using shadow clones. i wonder how sasuke will react when he shows up and the village is already destroyed: "awright! now for my revenge! wait- where is everybody?"

dont forget in a chapter or two whe will see tsunade at her actual age, no illusions at all...

she turns into madara

great chapter. At least I have something to look forward to since Bleach has tanked.

bleach gets really badass for a couple of weeks than it just turns into trash

[spoiler]Who called the flying rasenshuriken? Everybody knew it was comming, how badass is naruto now? Imagine that in anime form with some badass heavy metal music in the background.[/spoiler]

Good chapter, to bad the sage mode failed on him. I wonder what he will do now that he's normal naruto again. Btw anybody understand what god realm is anyway?

without the adverse affect apparently.
