screw him learning more shit and getting stronger
how about him unlearn how to be able to kill akatsuki, then maybe we wouldnt see the end of the manga in about 2 weeks.

I was hoping for a more detailed one on one battle between Naruto and Kakuzu, which would have really demonstrated Naruto's development.
Instead, we got a simple distract-and-hit-with-the-I-win-jutsu fight which, in my opinion, cheapened the villainy of the Akatsuki.
Even when Naruto succeeds, he disappoints.
I guess there's something worth pointing out here. Until now, every major battle involving Naruto has been a huge battle with multiple exchanges. Every one of those fights lasted forever. This is the first fight where Naruto actually does something ideally: he wasted nothing. This fight was economical. The guy needed to be "killed three more times" ? Use a massive jutsu that'll kill him a hundred times, just to make sure (as contradictory as this may sound, its economical). Also, Naruto saw that the guy couldn't stop 4 of the clones, so why did he need to change his tactics? Naruto did however realize that the opponent realized that he needed to attack to real clone, so naruto used bunshin jutsu on his kage bunshins for an added layer of diversion. Its a simple plan, but it was enough. This was Naruto's most "professional" fight thus far. So I don't think this cheapens the villainy of the akatsuki guy, so much as it increases Naruto's status as a Ninja.Originally Posted by Sidnne
I will agree however, that it would be nice to see some new tricks. But I don't necessarily think that they need to be new techniques. For instance, I bet that Sasukes end all technique is a fire one. Naruto'll need water to counter it. It would be nice if he used a summon frog for that. Also, I really do think that Naruto's improved in a lot of the basics, so that his fighting is more streamlined and structured. But its hard to see in manga form. When the anime reaches this point, I doubt it'll be as boring as a lot of you are making it out to be.
Good chapter, Naruto may actually be on Sasgay's level now.
This fight wouldn't have been as disaopinting if he had used kakashi and the other jounin to create the distractions instead of using clones. Atleast that way we'd see some nice fight scenes and it wouldn't cheapen the move any. Plus it makes more sense strategically, and if naruto has really grown, he should realize that.
Remember when naruto first attacked and chouji wanted to back him up? yamato stopped him because chouji would get caught in the jutsu too. so if kakashi and yamato provided distractions, they would get caught in that big whirlwind thing the jutsu made.Originally Posted by Assassin
it seems naruto himself got caught a bit too so it would make sense to use clones so they can just dissappear if they get hit instead of kakashi or yamato themselves.
and theres also that "please dont stop me from crossing the bridge" thing blah blah blah...
Am I the only one that's still wondering and kinda pissed at why the rasengan isn't a projectile-able technique? It's a fucking ball...THROW IT!
This time he has uber-huge shuriken ball...what do you do with shurikens? You don't run at the enemy and plunge it into him, you fucking throw it!
Naruto vs Sasuke
Sasuke: Chidori!
Naruto: throws the rasengan shuriken
game over!
LaZie made this...a long time ago.

Do you realize the manga has been going for over 7 years? I really doubt it's going to end anytime within the next 200-300 chapters, but even if it ends way before that, it will have had a good run.Originally Posted by fuzzyeyebrows
Do you realize 200-300 chapters would be another 6-7 years? Surprised doesn't describe what I would be if the manga continued that long.Originally Posted by Q-BeRt
damn,,, i was hoping that maybe, just maybe, Naruto was lying last chapter about this shurisengan being a melee attack, I said to myself "Man, he's just leading Kazuko to believe he has nothing to worry about, but then, he'll throw the shit on Kazuko and everything will be over",but no.
Other than the fight with Uber-Sasuke, I can't recall a single time the Rasengan hit something and didn't finish the battle, did this ever happen?
Naruto never had a power problem, Haku, Neji, Gaara (Kiba?) all went down from one fist, it just that it took 5 chapters to get to that fist. and as said before, this fight was a complete rip off from the fight with Neji, he should either start that way from the beginning or evolve his offence antother level... it's beeen about 4 power ups since he won a battle, at least Kishi should make it look good...
Actually, the kiba fight was ended with a fart :&Originally Posted by Death BOO Z
Let's not forget Sasuke's evolved chidori now covers his whole body. Naruto will have to throw it eventually.
Everyone seems to think that this "new" naruto has shown no development and that Yamato is talking out his ass, but its a lot more progress than the three years he spent with Jiraiya. When he came back from the training with Jiraiya all he had was the Oodama rasengan, the knowledge on how to break genjutsu, and better control of his kyubi's chakra. After his nature manipulation training he can do a myriad of things. He can manipulate the wind chakra, do a 50% complete rasengan, and utilize his clones better. When naruto split the waterfall and saw Asuma use his weapons with wind natured chakra, I’m sure naruto wont just let those tid-bits of clever tricks go unnoticed. He might end up throwing nature-manipulated kunai. Or adapt a fighting style like Lee where he puts nature manipulated chakra into his normal hits. Looong story short, I think this new naruto is actually a thousand times better and reminiscent of the clever naruto we used to like.
i love the ending
AKATSUKI HAS FALLEN
very satisfying fight, i cant wait until this is transitioned into the anime in the year 2008
