Naruto 209 discussion *heavy spoilers*

[Hotsuma]

I think Tsunade's super healing (instaheal w/a slightly shorter life span) only applies to herself.

I wonder what really happened during the surgery. This seems almost too good to be true. I'm also curious, as to why Inane translated his into as "Azure" (A blue color) over his usual "Green". Either the translation then was wrong, and, this is right. This is wrong, and that was right. That, or in worst case scenario, back then, it was right, and something's definitely going on behind the curtains.

Don't see why Tsunade should teach Sakura. Never saw her trying to heal anyone, unless yelling Saske-kun is a therapeutic jutsu that I don't know of...
She should teach Hinata. She always has her medicine with her and is always ready to help others... And since almost everybody in that damn village has been told to help Sasky, and Hinata couldn't care less about him, it would be good to have one person to care about the *rest* of the Konoha people.

I guess you messed the episode where she was healing both Naruto and Sasuke while at the same time defending them from the 3 sound nin in the preliminary chunin exams.

[Death BOO Z]

I give Kishimoto a thumbs up for doing a plot devlopment, but he's getting the thumbs down for the actuall development...
LEE? LEE? how the hell could a crippled guy get all the over there and still be in shape to fight? and if he's recovered, then the build-up for the operation was the most pathetic think Kishimoto ever did (including SAKURA!)... i would much rather see an half main characater, maybe Gai or Anko and Ibiki, they are all in approtiate fighting condition and their arrivial wouldn't seem so damn cliched...

Shikamaru's 'another final jutsu' talk was another bunch of crap, if he had even half of this amount of chackra doing the finals, then he would have been able to A. Bind temari to death and find a way to win. B. Bind every fucking sound nin who attacked the village.

As usual, Naruto is persented as the same idiot he was back in chapter one, just send out more and more clones, you'd think he'd learn something about clones after all the jounin fight he was involved in...

Sasuke's running away gig is nice, i hope he runs to Itachi (somehow he'll be able to find him), gets his ass handed over to him as usual, and then goes back to orochimaru for a few years.. but that won't happen since Naruto is after him, which means we'll have to see another long winded fight..


This arc is getting longer and longer while staying exactly the same, more one on one fights, more 'i'll use THAT jutsu' speaches, but even less caring from the readers (i stopped caring when Kiba stayed alive for more than a chapter), Kishimoto's only way for redeeming this arc would be to kill a mass of main characters, but he probably won't...

bhaa. i wish all the manga was out... i'm too addicted to be able to stop reading, but i'm getting dissapointed every chapter.

oh well, at least there's still a chance that Tayuya would be cool, but that's another long shot...

Concerning the return of Lee:

How do we know it's Lee? Couldn't Gai have used the "henge" technique to throw off Kimimaro? Kimimaro seems insanely strong (stronger than a jounin?), and if Gai felt outmatched, perhaps he felt he could use Kimimaro's underestimation of him (as Lee) to his advantage.

EDIT: I hadn't finished reading the rest of the topic before I posted this. Having read the topic now, I realize that this has already been brought up. I think my explanation of why it might be so is unique, though, so I'll let it stand.

[Sol]

nah gai wouldn't be outmatched by this kid. I think that's simply over analyzation. Time's probably past faster than we can tell. . or the operation was simple for tsunade - i'm sure they'll explain.
whatever the case, i can't see any REAL reason why it wouldn't be Rock.
I hope i'm right i'd like to see Rock in action again. =\

"The Reinforcement arrives with the gust of wind, but has Lee's body recovered already?"
^^ takin from the inane sub. and since it asks that question; it probably hasn't fully.

[Himura_san]

I am worried that Lee san has left without orders and is going to get himself permanently disabled or killed, just like you know who...

I am wondering if Kishimoto wants to introduce new characters and wants a clean slate? [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-frown.gif[/img]

[PSJ]

this chapter was slightly more interesting when you could understand what they said.....

Nah, too many people like him, and I bet they'd be too pissed if he got killed...
I myself would be happy if he got rid of one particular character, but that ain't going to happen...
Lee is not my fav, but I don't want to see him killed, for one.

[Kumiriko]

eveone seems to think Stregth = winning not so simple. and if anyone is going to learn the medical ninja techs it has to be sakura. lets see. sasuka is basicaly studing under oro. naruto under jara and that leaves sakura to fallow in the footsteps of the last legondary nin.

Rock lee returning is a cool thing. has it only been a day tops since they left? it seems longer even if you can redgester that alot of the battles happed close to each other. Rock haveing a temp mend is possible. but even if it isnt temp there is a chance that kimi can manipulate other peoples bones. that be bad.

[Evil Eyes]

I never thought that Lee would appear during this fight. I think it has only two explanations:
A. Tsunade healed Lee temporarily to help the team.
B. She did the operation and used some kind of super duper healing jutsu on Lee.
In both cases I have to say Daaaaaamn... that lady is just toooo good.

[OniChi]

Well it seems weird for Lee to appear isn't it? How is it possible for him to heal super fast, unless he opened the healing gate. Also if it was coupled with the fifth's super healing technique then that would make total sense. However did you guys noticed that around Rocks eyes look darker. It probably indicates that he's going through alot of pain, possibly from not being totally healed from the operation.

Hopefully i'm not repeating any ideas from the previous post since it''s alot to read on a saturday morning [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img]

Oh yeah you can get it at Narutofan.com

I'm sticking with insomniac, lee shouldn't stand a chance against Kimimaro, unless he has learned a Uber-taijutsu technique like Itachi's not yet revealed tai-jutsu [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img], hmm the first view of sasuke after he was out from that barrel he had white hair? looked like niedaime Sasuke with white hair, look-a-like 2nd hokage ... hmm Why didn't naruto summoned gamabunta, he obeyed him against gaara why not now?

EDIT: Too troublesome to start a thread about this, anyway, we're now on chapter 209, what anime ep is that, like 120 ?

[Strider]

With the return of Rock Lee, I too return ..

Veering from Insomniac's comments, Rock Lee against Gaara .. favors Rock Lee. Your sand-castle buildin' punk was fortunate for the victory thanks to Shukaku, not himself. However, I will agree with the statements on Rock Lee not being on par with Kimimaro, or so it seems.

Rock Lee is clearly my favorite character in the manga / anime, and I have complete faith in his skills. I do not think he has gone through a full recovery. He has had to gone through some type of surgery. This much should be obvious. Remember, the boy could not even walk, due to the heinous injuries sustained on his left arm and leg. Now, the Genin was leaping about, launching kicks and shizzle. Something happened in Konoha ..

And, considering not much time has passed since the team departed and the surgery was to commence, it is highly doubtful Lee has learned anything new. It would be nice, but unlikely.

As if it needed to be said, though .. I am extremely elated with the return of the greatest Genin, Rock Lee. Kimimaro does not stand a chance! .. Haw.

Ninja vanish!

he dont look like nidaime one bit. maybe you should check a pic on nidaime? sasuke hair is like its usually exept that he got more of it and a litte more spiky backwards thing. i think its stupid to summon gama bunta against a person whos the size of naruto i mean all the person need to do is jump on gama bunta and beat the crap out of naruto gama bunta cant attack the person when he stands on him. hope that didnt get to confusing.

[AKFUGEN]

Well now that Lee is back, it opens the door for a 2nd rescue team, Im hoping Kakashi is part of that team, and Shino gets some action too! This could all lead to a final showdown with Orochimaru vs Konoha's best + Jiraiya, and a Naruto v.s Kabuto rematch! Finally the story is progressing somewhat, I'd hate for Naruto to drag on like DBZ did...

[Becks Gold]

can someone post the link for the english chapter? i cant read japanese or whatever this is!!

[Vagabond]

Well like someone else said the only way I see Lee beating kimimaro is if kimimaro collapses in the middle of battle due to his sickness. But then again it's not like Lee was idle for the past month or so. Even with his injuries im sure he probably trained.

Also someone else must have come with Lee. (pretty obvious[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img]) Cause didn't kiba say something like "Why are they here".

[RockLeeisHOT]

Do you guys remember how the 4 sounds had time to set up traps and were taking a relaxed break in the woods when Shikamaru and the group finally go to them? I'm pretty sure quite a bit of time passed, but Kishimoto made it seem faster to keep the story going. He's trying to not bore use all you know. I think it's been a while and Lee had the surgery.... and he's just skipping the rehabilitation stuff. BUT... there is the scary possibility that he skipped the surgery at the last second and used the wound gate to heal himself temporarily... in which case, he's going to have a hard time against Kimimaro...

[Everon]

Ok I'm a little lost...

Shikamaru's learned not ONE but TWO jutsu's???!!!!! (sorry caps)
Kiba ran away from Lee?
Lee is BACK???????????????????????????????????? WTF WTF WTF WTF!
WTF is going on? Way to break all the tension Kishimoto! I was hoping to see Lee struggle in pain during his operation, but noooo you have him jump right in. I bet ten bucks that we're gonna have a flashback nojutsu on lee's operation. But its gonna be so anticlimatic since we know he comes out smiling like a dope.

Ah what the hell, Gai will probably explain that "YOUTH IS EXHILARATING!" and thats why Lee's back in action. I suppose that good enough for me.

go lee go.
