Chapter 261

[Lefty]

not a chance.

[jing]

Gaara is not dead. When Gaara dies, it's going to be beautiful.

[ChaosK]

there ya go, not in some dark cave where nobody can see him.

[Lefty]

Sorry to say, unless kishimoto is a compleat whoo's, He's dead. This is great moment for Naruto how vunrable he really is. Thats why Gara has to be dead, plus it be some major ass plot hole.

[ChaosK]

or SOMEHOW naruto saves him with kyubi magic. remember, kyubi wounds heal quickly, how do you know they cant do so for some1 else? if they could, naruto would be an even better ninja. He has ninjutsu, some taijutsu, and he'd have medical jutsu skill.

[tensai]

i really do think gaara is dead,
like i said in an earlier post, gaara did go out in a bang when he saved his village with the last of his strength from the explosion

kishimoto shouldnt be the one to take back his own words, like when chiyo said that if the demon is removed the host will be dead, like naruto says "thats my ninja way" kishimoto should follow this

btw, i was wondering, where in the manga does it mention that shukaku would be sealed into deidara, ive probably missed that part.

[ChaosK]

again, he already did "if you eat the red pill.....you'll die" (20 ep later, chouji stands)

im not sure that it actually does, however people are assuming as there are 9 demons and 9 akatsuki, and each akasuki are assign different demons that they will get to keep those demons and seal them inside themselves

[Sidnne]

Chouji and Neji were under circumstances as dire as Gaara's, if not more so. Despite everyone believing/hoping they were dead, they are still alive. And they were saved by "magical" medical techniques. There is no reason to believe that Gaara would be killed off and not be able to recieve some type of "magical" revival. We have been here before. I'm not going to believe that a major character is dead anymore until we see some actual confirmation of it.

It didn't, not in words at least. Its speculation, but not without good cause. I think there was enough to imply that they are gathering the youma to use as their own. And Chiyo pretty much confirmed that sentiment in this latest chapter on page 2. And since Gaara was Deidara's target, it only seems logical that he would receive Gaara's Bijuu.

[Zhan]

if they were really sealing demons into themselves then wouldn't you think they would all want the kyuubi because its the most powerful? they would be arguing amongst themselves as to who gets which demon and might end up killing each other! [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

I'm pretty sure that neither Neji nor Chouji had chapters entitled "The Death Of [Name]", unlike Gaara here.

I bet he still lives. [img]i/expressions/rolleye.gif[/img]

[Shin_Naruto]

yeah... gaara needs to die because 3 pages were dedicated to setting up a twist later...


..... jeez... bloodthirsty

[drcitan]

I forgot about there only being two real people inside the cave. Deidara is gonna need some backup because of that smashed hand and plus he used up most of his charka against Gaara. He has already used his favorite #18 bomb and is out of clay for his attacks.

But then again I learned from Naruto that anything can happen. A lot of people seem to be already labeling Deidara's stregnth since he fought against Gaara. Deidara probably showed 50% to around 70% of his strength seeing how he was already underestimating Gaara by not equiping himself with more clay and paper and oragami.(I also think Gaara wasn't 100% because he had to protect the villagers but thats a whole different subject)

I would'nt be surprised if he fled right after his backup arrived, which would leave room for him to make another appearance in the future. It would also give another Akastuki member(Zetsu maybe) a chance to show their skills.

Sasori will have his hands full with Chiyo and possibly Sakura joining her side. Chiyo is strong but but I'm assuming because of her old age she might lack the stamina(charka) needed to battle Sasori one on one. Sakura would be the perfect teamate since she has already dealt with Sasori's posion and can create distance by using her amazing strength.

[Terracosmo]

Does Shannaro really think that the akatsuki leader is the fourth, or is it just a recurring theme in their comics?

[drcitan]

I think its just a recurring theme. Lets hope they know better than to think that.
