Other people here : Hold it, There's something odd about that KUNAI......

If Manga fans didn't obsess over every little detial would they still be manga fans?

In other news - Super Kyubi mode = dumb,
Naruto is going into a Berzerker mode - he's faster and more powerful and heals some wounds faster -
But there is no reason to not believe that Curse seal 2 Sasuke wont be able to deal with that somehow.

If the Kyubi just goes supermode in response, I'll be dissapointed - I'm actually hoping that something that only occurs in one of Naruto video games happens. That would be more interesting and lead to a few long term questions being answered.

[Assertn]

are you guys talking about the kunai that was sinking underwater when they were running towards each other?

[Assertn]

if you're talking about what i think you're talking about.......then that sounds like you're only referring to the naruto vs neji fight.......in which case.......that was only one fight!

if you're not talking about that.......then you must mean EVERY SINGLE time naruto goes into kyubi mode.....in which case.......naruto has kyubi inside him....so DEAL WITH IT!

[Cryogen]

Deal with the Kyuubi cheese. It's never going away. I think it's alot cooler to watch fights that don't involve healing abilities too.

[PSJ]

I dont think Naruto want to be the jerk Sasuke is now,he wanted the one who is a genius,was best in the acadamy,from a famous clan and everything. Its not strange to want to be like when you are considred as a loser,a monster.

I liked when Naruto thought "you wanna kill me?"





Kishimoto is annoying as hell when its about making thins too long,everything fight has to be 10+ chapters.

[Knives122]

I think he meant he wanted to be the center of attention perfect example: when sasuke was doing what ever, and you saw everyone in the back cheering him on, the coverup for Naruto was saying that Sasuke was anything special, but that what Naruto was lying about, he wanted to be just as good as Sasuke was in being a ninja. This chapter, explained that Naruto had finally realized that in truth he wasnt a very good ninja "back then", and that sasuske was in fact better than him(even though everyone said so, he just brushed it aside and didnt pay attention to it) Thats what made this chapter so good, and itll be even better when its animated

"older naruto"? what are you talking about? was this mentioned somewhere in the chapter....i remeber the preview of the next chapter mentioning the chidori...i dont think they are jumping yet

[Lefty]

Give it like four or five chapters at the earliest. Kishimoto has a few more lose threads to tie up befor a jump. I think around chapter 235-236 the jump might happen.

there is a colored pic of Naruto couple yrs older in the beginning of the chapter... it was surprising to me... cuz it was the first time they drew older Naruto..


when can Oro exchange his body again?

[RasenDori]

you mean the cover page? cause if so ... he doesnt look any older to me

or perhaps you mean the fan colored page that was the cover the chapter 96...that was done a loooooong time ago.

[Sharingan83]

For the ending of the chapter. I seriously hope with all my heart, that it's not another interruption from Kakashi or any other character. We must all see this fight through to prove that Naruto can keep his word. He's the only survivor of the five (I don't want Shika, Neji, Kiba & Akamaru, or Chouji dead).

[Assertn]

well obviously shika isnt dead
kiba most likely wont die either
neji and chouji on the other hand............

There's a lot of people complaining about the kyubi powers Naruto has, but I really don't see the problem. This story's been good in keeping the usage kyubi powers to a minimum, and it's been defeated twice, once by the shark looking guy, and once by kimimaro. Considering how infrequently you see the powers, that's a good indication that it doesn't make Naruto undefeatable. It simply gives him the edge he needs to deal with the bloodline limits (expect for the time he used it against haku, which, I agree was ridiculous, but I enjoyed it just the same). Plus, you can't possibly believe that the way Naruto's using the kyubi chakra now is as "bad" as it's going to get. He's going to learn to control it even better. There's no indication from how the story's developing That Naruto's going to be a cheeze of a character. Other characters are going to mature with him, and it's almost a certainty that there will at least a couple of people that can deal with Naruto's powers...Sasuke being one of them. Stop complaining, cuz you're doing for no good reason.

Uh, no. There's a good reason why the way Naruto uses Kyuubi is stupid and boring. Basically, all he does is use it as a chakra battery. When he runs out, there's that extra jolt of energy he needs to do to continue. And what does he do with it? Make more kagebunshins. If bland bunshin rushdown is to your liking, than that's ok. The rest of us want to see Naruto doing something "cool" with all that extra power. Something creative, I guess you can say. Another way he uses it is just for the sake of "SSJ-like" power up, which I know people can't stand. Also, the way people here are putting Kyuubi's power is simply ridiculous. Each time a new challenge or new power comes up, it's always "NARUTO CAN HEAL INSTANTLY!" As you should know, that's never the case. But people here exagerrate that shit way out of proportion.

Making it quick:

Bad guy is beating down Naruto.
Naruto uses Kyuubi, a seemingly "invincible" power source, and wins.

Don't get me wrong, I love Naruto. He's one of my favorite characters. I like his fighting style of being cunning and crafty. Not to win by sheer brute force. Question is, how much are we going to see Naruto using his own power, before completely relying on Kyuubi's power itself? How much longer before Naruto realizes his trump card?

kyubi is part of Naruto... kakashi relies on his best friends sharingan... Sasuke relies on his sharingan.. and his curse seal..... Gaara relies on his demon.... so forth...

[Uchiha Barles]

How many kyubi powered bunshin rundowns did you see so far? Me, one (not counting that godawful special). It was beaten. Using the kyubi chakra as a "chakra battery" is as valid a technique as any other. If the anime was like dbz in the sense that the "chakra battery" is all he ever did, then I'd understand the complaints. But Naruto is not like that. They use that sparingly, and only once did it win him a fight (Haku). Against Neiji, all it did was give him a shot at the victory. His trickiness and carelessness cause Naruto to win that fight. Against the shark guy that travels with itachi, it did nothing. Against Kimimaro, it did next to nothing, AND he combined it with the kage bunshin that time (only time in the story that I can think of as well). As of right now, his kyubi chakra is more of technique than it is an almighty cheeze, especially considering the trouble he had to go through to be able to use it at will (almost cost him his life, remember?)

Kage bunshins...until Naruto learned the rasengan, he really didn't have any other viable techniques for a fight of the magnitude he's fighting right now. I don't think he can summon any of the smaller frogs (I could be wrong). Maybe he needs more training to call upon the summon of his choosing. As a result of this, kagebunshin rundown is what you're going to get. But again, Naruto's always been able to make it interesting. So, I don't see any complaints there either.

About how long is Naruto going to rely on his own power before using relying on kyubi chakra entirely? No one knows. But, I have complete faith in the story (as I've said many times in as many different ways) that Naruto will NEVER completely rely on the kyubi chakra. The story is simply not taking that direction. They're putting too much emphasis on qualities like cunningness, perserverance, and talent, to go and fuck it up by making the main character a DBZ character. Naruto learning the rasengan, a technique which emphasized extreme control combined with extreme power, convinces me of that. Kyubi had nothing to do with it.

Damn right.
