Naruto Chapter 555

[MFauli]

Seems Naruto's intelligence goes up and down all the time. Now we have to wait for him to do something stupid in order for him to do something smart again.

THIS. So annoying. The whole "plan" really wasn´t that special - but in combination with Naruto´s permanent idiocy it became genius. lol. First he has problems against Nagato, now against a silly Raikage. Guess Kishimoto is doing his best to down-hype Naruto, so Sasuke can appear as the overwhelming power again, even when it doesn´t make any sense in terms of power levels. Not to mention that the whole plan was totally constructed. Not only did they say how all the Raikage´s are super-fast, it´s also unplausible for Naruto´s Rasengan to inflict any kind of action on Raikage´s arm. At least the way it was drawn, the whole arm was covered in energy. Add to that the kinetic energy and if anything Raikage should have cut open Naruto without any effort.

As for next chapter, lol. If Gaara´s "ultimate shield" has already been broken, what else can he do against this opponent? Unless he starts such a furious chain of attacks that the enemy cannot attack him, he´s as good as dead (no, he will not die, not in this manga).

I don't understand why it's so hard for people to give Naruto credit for that move. It's not like he used his hands alone to bend the raikage's arm, he used a high level ninja technique. The technique didn't rip through the raikage, it didn't do any damage to him at all, but it did cause his arm to move. That seems perfectly plausible, specially as a reminder that the rasengan is still an impressive technique.
