Naruto manga 235+ (SPOILERS)

Keiichi · #1 10-13-2004, 03:17 PM

Well it seems all the fighting is over with for now. As kakashi heads back to Leaf villiage with naruto we catch up with our battered and wiery Nin. All who are undergoing emergency treatment (Nejis' operation was freaky looking). Its looks like everyones going to be ok (Even chouji). Poor Shika broke down and cried. And if Temari being right there with Shika was'nt any indication those two are getting togeather I don't know what is.

Where the heck did you get the translated version so early? I checked at Naruto EX and NarutoChuushin and they don't have it.

KuwabaraTheMan · #3 10-13-2004, 07:59 PM

So, is Chouji okay? Shikamaru could be crying out of happiness, but he looks really sad to me in that last panel, but everyone else seems so cheerful.

Keiichi · #4 10-13-2004, 08:05 PM

I looked over the raw. I think Shikas crying cause he feels responcible everyone getting Injured and nearley getting killed. From what someone on anouther board said Shika promised this would not happen on his next mission.

KuwabaraTheMan · #5 10-13-2004, 08:16 PM

That sounds reasonable. So, the question is, what now? Where do we go from here?

New saga! (and it's about time. I'm sure everyone was getting sick of the last one...)

The Akatsuki (and Orochimaru's past) seems like a reasonable choice... especially after seeing one of them at the end of the Naruto/Sasuke fight.

I'm glad Neji is alright. I want him to play a bigger part later on in the series. He's the perfect middle man between the intellectual types like Shikamaru and the fighting types like Lee.

My prediction is the next arc will introduce the Akatsuki member we saw at the end of the last arc along with his partner (Remember that it was mentioned that the Akatsuki always travel in pairs). However, the guy could have been Orochimaru's partner and he may be going solo now.

**Conekiller** · #9 10-15-2004, 01:09 PM

I wanna see more of Shino!

and Lee's ok now, too so, more of him!

I wonder if we're going to get re-assigned teams now that Sasuke's gone, Sakura's sole purpose for being a ninja is voided (she only wanted to be with Sasuke, if memory serves) Hinata and Ino don't seem to be up to much lately. So we may see an updated pod roster. Myabe the Sand nins will be incorporated into them (fanboy dream, but still cool beyond words)

Plus I'd like to see how such a faliure of discipline on Sasuke's part is going to affect Kakashi.

The partner system was introduced after Orochimaru left, so there isn't anyone who is without a partner in the group.

Keiichi · #11 10-15-2004, 04:28 PM

My guess is that the Venus fly trap is his partner. It could be a summons or somthing since it talked.

Are you sure? I could have sworn that Orochimaru made ten menbers, and when he left they dropped down to nine.

Nope, Jiraiya specifically states there were 9 members, then Orochimaru left, then they split into pairs of two.
If they've added someone since then, we dont know. Or if they dropped the whole pairs of 2 thing either.

Keiichi · #14 10-16-2004, 10:34 PM

looked over the translated ver. Great chap. And things should really be interesting next week when Sakura confronts naruto. I really hope she makes naruto agitated and makes naruto tell her off.

Naruto: you know what sakura I used to think you were a special girl. But now I see the truth. Your just a bubble headed selfish little girl who's obssessed with a boy who's the sole reason for her becoming a ninja in the first place. I still indeed to keep the promise but not because of you anymore but because its my way of the ninja *walks off*

The new chapter should be out tomorrow, but I decided to suggest to everyone that if you haven't already, download a video of the new opening. It's pretty damn good and it shows all the main players together in the Sasuke pursuit arc.

The song itself is nowhere near as catchy and "oh yeah!, this show RULES" as "Go!"

and that ending theme I think "OMGWTF" describes it perfectly (it's still better than that ear piercing 4th ending)

Keiichi · #17 10-22-2004, 11:58 AM

Looked over the raw. Team 7 seem to be offically disbanded now with Sakura going to train under tsunade (Though I bet Shizune will supervise most of it) and naruto will no doubt go back to Jir to complete his training with him. Poor Kakashi's out of a teaching job.

I would'nt be surprised if a time skip happens now. Maybe a year or two.

Mog · #18 10-22-2004, 12:55 PM

Yeah, the raw was pretty good. I need a translation, though. There was a lot of talking in this one.

As for the future jump, I wouldn't be surprised, but I would be mad. There's so much they could do right now that it would be stupid to simply jump ahead to the future to see Sasuke's "advanced angst" form. They need to work a little more on the history of Konoha, they need to introduce a few of the lower members of the Akatsuki, and they need to show what Orochimaru's position is right now. I mean, he just lost 5 of his best soldiers and won't even get Sasuke out of it. He must be pissed.

Keiichi · #19 10-22-2004, 01:14 PM

I think Sasuke went to Oro. I'm sure he wants to learn how to control the cursed seal better. Plus with his injuries there'd be no place for him to turn to now. Not to mention him walking into the darkness was no doubt a big hint thats where he was going.

Yeah...A Naruto head making faces, then bouncing? Psychidelically(sp?) colored still shots of Naruto? Lyrics that seem rather random? (/off-topic)
