If we stop the DBZ references there would nothing worthy to talk about in Naruto. Or hyperbolic time chamber Bleach for that matter.
Ha, I love it! Danzo's Sharingan arm thread was a very good one, but we were just going for funny puns there. We were making fun of Kishi's fetish for the Sharingan, not the fact that he's just making crap up. With Bleach, we are seriously just trying to insult Kubo. Seriously...a Hyperbolic Lame Corridor where time stops so they can train...oh wait, not anymore, it just goes slower. When matters of fact change from one chapter to the next, it really shows how much thought Kubo puts into it.
You cannot hope to build a better world without improving the individuals. To that end each of us must work for his own improvement, and at the same time share a general responsibility for all humanity, our particular duty being to aid those to whom we think we can be most useful. -Marie Curie
How about Pain's "resurrect everyone that ever died" jutsu?
Except Jiraiya, of course, since he's old.

If Kushina was the previous jinkuuri, it could make sense that Naruto only received half of the Kyuubi's chakra, and not all of it.
Hypothesis:
Once the Kyuubi had been subdued and sealed by Minato; did Madara warp away or try to continue the fight? If Madara stayed, Minato may have needed to use the remaining half of the Kyuubi's chakra to overwhelm Madara and force him to retreat. Minato was always a step behind like he mentioned to Naruto, so an overwhelming tactic may have been his only option. And I think he could have used the Kyuubi's chakra from Kushina because she said he was able to use her chakra to form the seal, why not as well for a attack style jutsu?
Tra la la la la! Why do I need a reason?
The plot where Kushina actually played a part in re-sealing Kyubi in Naruto, does feel like a face palm to me. I am reminded that she is dead, its one thing that she can start talking to Naruto. Totally on another level when she start to kick the kyubi in the nuts.
I think that it is going to be ok. I mean she die leaving Naruto an orphan. Why wouldn't it be linked?
assertnfailure (7:40:03 PM): dude....your posts are a bunch of nonsense
lol yeah its gonna be epic over there when he revives everyone
so funny
Only Kishimoto could be such a dick as to give a character a very meaningful and insightful death, only to cheapen it by bringing him back to life at the end of the same arc.
And then do it 4 more times.
The only thing worse than that is knowing that each character that experiences this will become utterly worthless for the remainder of the series.

One Piece is more of a fantasy-style series that isn't meant to have the level of seriousness and drama as Naruto. Besides, characters that don't die in One Piece tend to reappear to contribute to the series in a meaningful way (ie. the ex-Baroque Works guys in Impel Down). When a character has a dramatic (or sometimes not-so-dramatic) death, they stay dead. The only exception I know of to this so far is Pell.

So now that the fox is under control Naruto should be able to merge with the sage frogs and maintain eternal sage mode. Should help him when he has to fight with shark man
Maybe Madara forced the kyuubi out, and it took over Kushina, similair to what happened to Gaara. And perhaps the 4th did have the power to kill the 9- tails but instead sealed it so he didnt have to kill Kushina (and instead seal her in her son). Or its possible giving birth allowed the fox to take over and not Madara.
I like the idea of Naruto being the direct descendant of the sage of six paths. Fuck Sasuke and his eye hacks.

It's been hinted at previously that Naruto is somehow related to the Senju clan which was (according to what we've been told) descended from the elder son of the Sage of Six Paths. The Uchiha clan was also supposed to be descended from the younger son IIRC.
Personally I also like the idea of Naruto being descended from the Sage of Six Paths/Senju. Although it does kind of go against the message that Naruto (the Manga) has been sending from the start that guts and hard work can overcome fate/destiny, since if Naruto is descended from the Sage of Six Paths then it implies Naruto had a destiny.
