Naruto Chapter 376

[Abdula]

Finally we get a backstory on Jiraiya and we now know why he went around teaching somewhat random students. The destined child thing always bugs me whenever it is used but I'll let it slide in this circumstance seems to be yet another recurring theme in Naruto. This chapter seems to have hit me out of nowhere, I'll have to process it later as I was just laughing too much. The toads have always been my favorite summons but every other word out of their mouths had me rolling.

Sorry LobsterMagnet I had some spoilers and the raw pretty early just neglected to post anything.

Holy... huh?
Destined child? and... he works for Madara? Or has his own agenda?
And those new akatsuki... other of his bodies? Or real new enemies?

If by real new enemies you mean current members of akatsuki then thats the same thing I'm wondering.

Guys........
The toad sage said Jiraiya would train the destined child....

What if it's actually Naruto that's the destined child...?

[DB_Hunter]

Well, seeing how this is a shounen manga and Naruto at that, the cliche has to be fulfilled. To be honest Naruto is too stupid to be a destined anything.

[Idealistic]

C'mon, I want to see what the Rin'egan's powers are! Unless they have to do with all those summoning jutsus or something.

[KCMmmmm]

I like how Jiraiya became much more toadlike after his transformation, even if it is weird looking. I thought it was funny how the Great Sage predicted Jiraiya would become a pervert....it was just too funny.

I also think there's a possibility that Naruto is the referenced child, but awhat did he bring into the world which is revolutionary? The Kyuubi might have been sealed in any person, and it existed without Naruto. However, Nagato brought the Rin'egan back for the first time in centuries. So...how could it be Naruto and not Nagato?

So...next chapter we get a fight?

That is pretty insightful. And here I thought that they were talking about the Fourth!

I thought they were talking about one of the 4th's teammates.

The world may never know!

That would be a logical choice. Here is my problem. The great sage toad says that the child will bring peace to the world, or destroy it. On the last page, the hermit toads say that "yer the one who'll cause the destruction of the world" as they are talking to Pein. So doesn't that mean Pein is the reference of the Great toad?

Yeah, it would make sense. I mean they are showing the flashback now so it should refer to Pain. I mean, unless Kishi just really loves to mess with our minds.

It doesn't necessarily mean that Pein is the destined child, even if Jiraiya said "yer the one who'll cause the destruction of the world", he could just have it mixed up and confused it with Pein as he's the biggest threat at the moment.

I'm not saying that Pein is not the destined child, it's that Kishimoto has left it open for discussion.

Anyone else thinking Vader, Luke and midi-chlorines?

[Viscero]

Anyone else thinking Vader, Luke and midi-chlorines?

Heh, that's exactly what I was thinking. They thought Anakin would bring peace to the world but it ended up being Luke. So... Pein is Anakin and Naruto would be Luke. Heck they keep talking about Naruto... how everyone he meets becomes his friend and he'll bring peace to the world (they especially talk about this in the more recent shippuden episodes). The Naruto manga has too many repeating storylines.... History just keeps repeating itself.

Kind of what I was thinking. Not so much that Naruto is the destined child but perhaps that he is definately part of this whole prohpecy. I'm starting to think that Jiraiya will realize that the decision he needs to make for peace to come is to die. Not saying that he'll let himself, but that he'll realize Naruto will avenge him, and in turn take down all the akatsuki eventually.

Do we now that Madara (Tobi) is the real leader of Akatsuki? And i'm not sure that tobi should be Madara. Does somebody said that? He just said, that his eye(s) are those from Madara. Or am I wrong?

[Assertn]

How could someone be a boss over Pain and not be Madara? Seriously.
