Naruto Chapter 355

[Assertn]

Btw.....

There are 6 groups of Konoha scattered...
2 akatsuki members...
4 team "Hebi"

Could this be a set up for 6 battles?

Edit: Oh and also...Deidara does in fact have his left arm now, as he is shown using it to tilt his hat up after he first spots whoever it is he spots.

i guess kakuzu sewed it back for him after he lost it.

i want to see kakashi use MS again, and hopefully get an explanation of how he got it, and if it has teh same abilities as itachi's or different ones.

can't we all just accept that Kakashi acquired his MS because Obito died and he felt responsible for his death?

It seems like a good enough reason to me..

Then why didn't he have it back when he fought itachi the first time?

Maybe because MS takes time to develop, or there must be some mental stage one must surpass to actually be able to use it. We still dont know what effects a person must go through, (other than the condition) to actually use it. I doubt its just kill the person and BAM I got it. Kishi didnt give us an alternative reason as to how MS can be acquired, and so far, killing your best friend is the only option as of now. And the closest person I can think of as best friend to Kakashi is Obito. So thats the closest thing we can guess to at the moment

@Id3aLiStiC: Lots of unexplained things in Naruto, we speculate and conclude what we believe is right. I dont expect Kishi to explain every single detail, he expects the we as the readers to find out based on the events given. Thats why there are forums like this for us to discuss the chapters and try to find out why somethings happened the way they did. Its just far too much trouble to do so otherwise for the manga writer. And getting half your body crushed by a huge boulder = dull?

Dont get me wrong guys, I would love to hear an explanation from Kakashi as to how he got it. But its not a big enough mystery for us to question it over and over

No? You don't have a major protagonist obtain an ability that had previously only been realized by the main antagonist, in such a way that even the main antagonist has no idea how it happened....and yet expect the readers to just accept it.

This is Naruto....the series where even someone like that bandaged sound genin guy becomes a professor for a moment, to analyze the obvious cause of Zaku's arms exploding from Shino's bugs.

If anything happens that might leave a shred of doubt, he'll explain it.

Kishimoto gives us other venues to look at it differently.
Especially with Sasuke, Itachi tells him that he must kill his best friend to obtain Mangekyou Sharingan, but is Sasuke going to kill Naruto, I highly doubt it. Sasuke says I'll do things my own way and obtain things to kill him.

Mangekyou is probably one of the most needed techniques Sasuke needs to be able to fight Itachi more evenly.

So, I don't think gaining Mangekyou through killing your best friend is the only method, there is, but it's the only one we know of at this time, it gives us more possibilities of obtaining it, especially with Kakashi having it.

Sorry, but now you're just giving poor writing another excuse not to improve itself. A writer needs to clarify, define, and explain their story. Especially something such as this. I want to KNOW how Kakashi got it, not guess. This isn't some interpretive essay on Shakespeare, this is a manga.

[Assertn]

The way kai puts it made me think....this could be a good opportunity for Kakashi to confront Sasuke and provide a way for Sasuke to learn how to create a mangekyou of his own....

...whether this would involve Sasuke forcing Kakashi to show him or Kakashi convincing Sasuke to side with him, I'm not sure...

But if either scenario happens, then we'll be sure to find out the truth.

No manga this week?

No, it needs to be explained why/how he got it. There's no reason to believe this theory is correct over any other.

It seems like a good enough reason to me..

I want facts, not theories. And that is a pretty dull way to acquire the MS.

As for this chapter... It seems as if all of the teams are like right next to each other, but Deidara and Tobi have the initiative on one of the teams.
