Naruto Chapter 504

That reminds me that Naruto destroyed that necklace and nobody has mentioned it since

The necklace is no longer needed now that Naruto has control of the Kyubi's power.

Neither is Lee, Sai, Neji, etc in Naruto part II, maybe Kishimoto should blow them up too?

But then who will inherit the will of fire?

That necklace should have never been introduced in the first place. It never really served a purpose. I think Kishi wanted to go somewhere with it, but wasn't sure where, so he just destroyed it and would rather forget he ever introduced it.

I believe that the necklace holds great importance to the story.Seeing that Kishi took the time and effort to draw it out and explain how it tied in with Tsunade and her brother and her boyfriend and came into naruto's possesion.
REFRESHER: the necklace was originally Tsunade's grandfather's (the FIRST hokage), he gave it to her, on her brother's 12th birthday she gave it to him so he could be like their grandfather and become hokage but the next day he died in battle, then she gave it to her boyfriend who wanted to be hokage too but he died in battle too. In each of these instances the necklace was the only thing that was left of each of these men. The fist gave it away and the last two had their lives taken away leaving the necklace as they persued their dreams to become hokage.
With naruto changing the fate of the necklace of death by destroying it (whether intintonal or not) it was a symbol representing how he wont die, he might just be able to achieve the very thing the last two owners of the necklace couldn't as he pushes forward with their aspiration's at heart.
The necklace hold a symbloicness about it.
JUST BECAUSE: now if you want to go any further you could think about how the first hokage was the original holder of the necklace, it makes you think "why did he pass down his naecklace to begin with?" "what else did he pass down besides the necklace?" well he was the founder of the hidden leaf right, then he had that epic fight with madara at the "Final Valley" yet the battle still rages on (he fought there with sasuke *coincidence??? NOT!*). In a way you could think that since the necklace was "passed down" to naruto he also had the aspirations of the first hokage along with his responibilities.
food for thought

The point is that nobody gives a shit about the necklace. Its of no significance because it has been destroyed already and only received mention a time or two. It certainly didn't need a mile long post about it that nobody is going to read.

Not going to lie, I skimmed that shit, and he quoted me directly.

But yes, welcome to the forums!

Two things
1. I have been in other forums and you two seem to be the ones who dont know how to behave in them
2. I am a seasoned naruto fan, whether or not you care is not what i am worried about. Those who have the sense to appreciate what i have to say (who are true naruto fans) would either read the whole thing or have the sense enough to not bash it with ignorance

Thankyou for inviting me to this forum
And thakyou for your critisizim (whether constructive or not)
Thankyou to UChessmaster for reading and to those who defended me

Seriously. I am nothing like Sidnne, please don't put me in a category with him. The reason that I skimmed your post is because the first 2 paragraphs were things we already knew.

And a solid counter point to your non-argument that it is better that the necklace was broken is the fact that the necklaces as you put it because it shows "how he wont die" isn't that great of a point at all. Naruto has had the necklace for over 3 years now and still lived. The others only had the necklace for a short time, so basically he has already broken the "Curse" by having it on for more than a week and living. Secondly, I think symbolically I think that it would have had much greater an impact if we saw the necklace on Naruto while he became the Hokage, because then we could still infer that Naruto fought to be there and deserved the necklace and the title once held by the first.

[...]

you have the same color scheme in the avatar, a black and white character that I skimm through, it's possible to confuse you two.

anyway, I agree, the necklace had meaning when it was introduced, because it was Tsuande's 'good' bet. Tsuande put her trust in Naruto's words that he'll become the hokage, and he lived through the following battle. restoring her faith in the power of love and leaf. (order of things might be slightly different from how it happened, I don't remember whether she gave him the necklace before or after she revived him from Kabuto's hits).

then, it was revealed that Yamato (or tensai, whatever name he goes by?) through the magical power of the 1st hokage, can control (negate) the kyuubi through it. which would have been interesting, if Yamato wasn't removed from the story (along with Sai) right away. and now there's the senjou\uchiha whatever blood, which somehow looks like everyone and their mother can control the kyuubi.

Neither is Lee, Sai, Neji, etc in Naruto part II, maybe Kishimoto should blow them up too?

Yes. that was the point I was pushing when shit went down, especially Chouji. he did his part, having him survive just undermined the point of what he did. just like the entire dragonballPaynewish made the arc seem lame. I can't see Lee getting any real progress as a fighting ninja, despite the fact he'll be in every single naruto game from now until forever.
but that's a different point.

also, welcome, Kohaku.

I second this.
