This is a list of silly, or Just for Fun wild mass guesses for the series Naruto. More serious entries should go in one of the open pages.
Please add new entries to the bottom of the page.
- The Uchiha clan are the descendants of Aang. Previous generations, unique in their ability to manipulate the air, took the symbol of a fan (Uchiha) as their family emblem and name.
- Ah, touche! The Uchiha clan specializes in their manipulation of fire, their ability to increase it, like a fan. On the other hand, we learn later in the series that Naruto's elemental affinity is with wind... Pattern? Much?
- Naruto could be the descendant of Aang. They have very similar personalities sometimes. (Naruto is brattier at the beginning, though. And not a monk.) And let's not forget that in both series, the healer is The Heart.
- The Fire Nation is an archipelago and the Land of Fire is a continent; anything from a massive earth battle to plain old silting up could be the cause.
- Alternatively (and inversely), the Avatar world is the Naruto world After the End, and the differences in the world are the result of the local apocalypse.
- This seems much more likely, since hand signs seem to be more complex than the how easily bending is performed and that technology is more advanced
- Wait Fridge Logic just kicked in. If Naruto and Avatar are the same world, wouldn't that make Pain the avatar because he can control all of the elements?
- Well, the old toad's prophecy did say that one of Jiraya's students would be the "chosen one". It didn't say which chosen one, did it? *** When Naruto and Nagato come face-to-face, the old told confirms that both of them are the chosen one.
- MASSIVE Avatar spoiler but early part of Naruto- How come Aang's removal of Ozai's chakra didn't leave him paralyzed like when Sarutobi did the same to Orochimaru? Kabuto would really like to know- after all he's the one who had to wipe Oro's butt for months.
- Because Sarutobi tried to tear out Oro's SOUL! As opposed to the natural bending energies inside of their bodies.
- Well, one of Toph's name meanings is "Supporting Lotus". Maybe Rock Lee isn't just pure brawls, but Toph's descendant!
- Another possibility is that neither universe is the future of the other, but that each universe simply exists as an alternate timeline.
- Furthermore, this troper is WMGing that the Sage of Six Paths was a long-ago Avatar who crossed over to the Narutoverse after the Spirit now known as the Ten Tailed Beast somehow ended up there. As he was still relatively young, for an Avatar, he settled down afterward to have a family when it became clear he was stuck in this world for the rest of this lifetime, which included at least three children. According to the second databook, before he laid down the theoretical foundations for ninjutsu, the premiere method of the time of manipulating chakra was through sealing. It is entirely possible that the lightning based nintaijutsu practiced by the clan that produced at least the Sandaime and Yondaime Raikages is a throwback to elemental manipulation as originally taught by the Sage of Six Paths.
- One of the villains in Season 3 of The Legend of Korra has a freaking Kekkei Genkai (i.e. magma bending without an external heat source)!
- Yes... it's all so clear now. That must be it :p
- Genin can do all that stuff. The bright orange is probably just Ryu's homage to our hero and his skill at clone jutsu.
- Ryu also has brown hair, so Naruto would need to dye it in the future. I also don't recall him using the clone jutsu in the original Xbox game or Dragon Sword, although he does use a fire jutsu similar to Sasuke's Fireball Jutsu.
- You forget that "Might Guy" was the intended translation◊.
- He's SPARTACUS. Duh.
- My personal theory is that Tobi is using some kind of genjutsu that, when his mask is removed, lets him appear as the person the viewer respects or fears the most. Thus, Itachi would have seen him as Madara Uchiha, the legendary invincible leader of his clan, while Kisame would have seen him as the Mizukage, the leader of his village.
- Wouldn't this mean that Sasuke would see him as Itachi, or his father? Although him seeing him as an Uchiha does make sense...
- The simpler explanation is that as already seen, he has the ability to teleport anywhere at any time. If he was still pushed for time, he could make shadow clones, disguise them, and teleport them in his stead. Wait, how come none of the Uchihas use Shadow Clones? Would really help them out.
- Itachi himself is shown to make very liberal use of shadow clones. He uses them in his first battle with Kakashi, Asuma, and Kurenai, catching Kakashi from behind with a kunai after he had dodged a water-based jutsu, and then detonating it just as Kakashi got away. In his first appearance in Shippuuden, he summons a shadow clone while fighting Kakashi, who then charges Naruto. True, it is revealed that by that point Naruto was already under Itachi's genjutsu, but still. And finally, he uses a clone during his fight with Sasuke to grab him from behind and hold him down while the original body rips out his eyes.
- Wouldn't this mean that Sasuke would see him as Itachi, or his father? Although him seeing him as an Uchiha does make sense...
- No one's thought of this yet? Madara could have transferred his soul into the womb of a woman. When that baby was born, it was named Obito, but it had lost all of Madara's memories. However, after Obito's death, Madara's memories finally resurfaced, and Obito returned to life as Madara Uchiha.
- On a related note: Iruka suffers from a rare form of schizophrenia that causes him to completely believe in elaborate delusions that color the way he tells stories. In this case he is convinced that he and Kakashi have been involved in a stable (but secret) long-standing relationship for years. They're not. And Kakashi has no idea. So, for example, that three episode "rookie teacher Iruka" filler after the Pain saga wherein Iruka recalls his early teaching days, and Kakashi comments on "the glimmer in his eyes?" It never happened. The whole story is structured like a flashback from Iruka's point of view - even moments where he wasn't present and so could have no real memory of the events.
- Correction: Pain is this world's Sylar. He's a thousand times cooler and nastier than that pedophiliac heptophiliac.
- Counterpoint: Pain has his set of powers, and doesn't seem to be collecting more. Orochimaru was collecting jutsus by assimilating a number of hosts, much like Sylar was using his original power.
- This Troper was always a little bothered by that as well. I like Naruto and all, but sometimes I wish a character like Rock Lee would succeed where even Naruto had failed. Oh well, this series does not have an entry in Broken Aesop for nothing.
- Masashi Kishimoto does look like Rock Lee, but since he has a twin brother, perhaps he's making fun of Seishi?
- Technically, Naruto's nine-tailed fox chakra enables him to get access to chakra after being hit with Eight Trigrams 64 Palms, but it's not what helps him win the battle; his popping out of the hole and surprising Neji with the shadow clone that is an advanced version of the jutsu that he couldn't master. This is a frustratingly common misconception on this wiki.
- It's almost as frustrating and as common as that response. After being hit by Neji's Eight Trigrams 64 Palms, Naruto has no chakra, and anybody else in the Naruto universe, when out of chakra, has no recourse. Can you honestly tell this wiki that 'it's not what helps him win the battle'? The fact is, the reason Naruto was able to win that fight is owed entirely to the fact that he had an extra reserve of chakra. All the advanced battle strategy contained within popping out of a hole wouldn't have helped Naruto one bit if he hadn't contained within him a bonus source of chakra... something that was present at birth. The first part of the fight could be considered a Jossing of the previous Troper's statement by itself: Even showcasing the effort of his hard work, the Shadow Clone Jutsu, and using it to what maximum effect he could, Naruto still got summarily beat down by Neji. The 9-Tailed Fox's chakra was what allowed Naruto to get to the point where he could surprise Neji.
- However, Naruto still had to practice to gain access to that power. It wasn't easy, neither to gain nor to use. All of his training before the Third Exam was for this purpose. Furthermore, this troper finds offense in the above statement that a ninja without chakra is useless. It is because Neji held that belief that he let his guard down and was nailed. As we are on WMG, I would like to suggest that this was Naruto's plan all along as he knew of this extra chakra reserve from the first episode and used it two(maybe three times) previously and both were in desperate situations. A ninja must see through deception.
- Which would explain the sudden entry of the Sasuke X Sai yaoi moment that Sakura seemed to enjoy...
- Considering recent events in the manga, this says very bad things about Hinata's self-esteem...
- Hinata must also be a lot more forceful than we thought given that Sasuke barely appears for the first three arcs and we're still not at that point 100 episodes into the anime. Though on second thoughts, that might explain a lot. (Sasuke's sudden central focus, Hinata's recent treatment in both the manga and anime filler...) So who is the Shikamaru fan in this group?
- Shiho, obviously. She portrays herself as a nerdy nobody so that no one will suspect that she is ever so slowly letting Shikamaru take over. Giving Sasuke so much screen time is just a distraction from this takeover because he's such a divisive character while Shikamaru is (for some inexplicable reason) extremely popular with the fans.
- It could also be Temari, because not only is there the potential ship with Shikamaru, but she was also somewhat attracted to Sasuke when she first saw him, blushing slightly when she thought he was asking her for her name.
- But then she met Shikamaru, who immediately caused her to forget her short interest in Sasuke.
- Shiho, obviously. She portrays herself as a nerdy nobody so that no one will suspect that she is ever so slowly letting Shikamaru take over. Giving Sasuke so much screen time is just a distraction from this takeover because he's such a divisive character while Shikamaru is (for some inexplicable reason) extremely popular with the fans.
- Naruto and Basilisk are based on the same set of Japanese folk stories/novels/"history".
- Therefore Ataru Moroboshi of Urusei Yatsura would be able to shatter all of the ninja world with a mere poke?
- Let's not forget how Naruto totally slammed Sandaime with the Sexy Jutsu.
- It would also explain why Rock Lee can do no ninjutsu or genjutsu and had to train so hard. He's not a pervert.
- So what does that make Sasuke? Women throw themselves at him, and he turns them down.
- He does keep Sasuke and Karin around on purpose.
- What about Gaara?
- He also plays Metal Gear Solid ("Akatsuki will control all war") and reads Watchmen (his "squid" can be re-used!).
- And he reads TV Tropes, which is why he's using a Deus Angst Machina backstory in an attempt to become the Woobie, and with that the Ensemble Dark Horse! That way he can succeed in his plot to rule the world!
- This theory is far too sane to belong in WMG.
- Can he moonwalk?
- It would make Tsunade as Madonna, and Jiraiya as... Rick Astley?
- Jiraiya is more David Lee Roth.
- So he can do This?
- Well, there's one more thing they have in common now - they're both dead. And if I hear another word about I'mma gonna hurt someone.
- You know, seeing how this show is, this is too good to pass up.
- I'd like to believe this but it just sounds to much like a bad fanfic
- Well, it wasn't a complete take down but Kaguya did get distracted by the Sexy Reverse Harem Jutsu.
- I'd like to believe this but it just sounds to much like a bad fanfic
- Elaborating on the initial post: this is a Daemon World, with Kaguya being a Sensei who overpowered the Daemon controlling it.
- Here's an alternative 40K theory: Kaguya is a actually a daemon prince(ss) of Tzeentch and the Juubi a Greater Daemon of Chaos Undivided. The Sage of Six Paths was not the biological son of Kaguya, but one of the lost two primarchs, explaining his far greater power than any other human in the setting. The humans technology discrepancies are what they could salvage from their STC. The chakra is Warp corruption, slowly diluted through the generations. But occasionally, Tzeentch will grant a particularly interesting person a unique ability. Tzeentch is pleased by all the plot twists his servant orchestrated. By this point, the chakra enhanced humans are followers of Chaos without even understanding it or always following it in a way we understand. The bijuu are also divided amongst the gods. For example, Naruto and Jiraiya are both followers of Slaanesh more than any other, as opposed to the Khornite Kurama, and they only worked together in the worst scenarios. Itachi, as per his illness and his constant attempts (despite the failures) to keep turmoil down would follow Nurgle. Hiruzen Sarutobi is also a follower of Nurgle, while his main rival Danzo is the scheming follower of Tzeentch.
- How about the baddest motherfucker of all time? C'mon, you know you want to see that.
- I vote for Lester Speight. You can't tell me it wouldn't be cool to have Kirabi voiced by Augustus Cole. "Eight-Tails is in yo' house, bitch! You hear dat shit?!"
- In the anime, Killerbee is voiced by Hisao Egawa. But yes, Norio Wakamato should have a role.
Alternatively, Sakura is Yachiru undercover in a gigai because Aizen lost. She is now planning on becoming God by manipulating the Akatsuki and using the Tailed Beasts.
Both theories are mostly crack and based on the Rule of Cool and Rule of Funny, but if you think on it, it makes sense that Sakura is Yachiru.
- Both Sakura and Yachiru have pink hair.
- They both have a huge forehead.
- They're both physically strong.
- The Naruto world could easily be an Alternate World to the Real World.
Also, who wouldn't want to see Kenpachi and the rest of the 11th Squad appear in the Naruto world and kick major ass? And admit it - Sakura would look badass in Shinigami garb unleashing a Bankai. Any Fan Fic writers willing to take on this plot-bunny?
This would make Inner Sakura the Soul Cutter's persona.
- Thats so crazy it might just work! SPRINGTIME OF YOUTH FOR EVERYONE!
- Like this?
- I applaud your logic
- He is now an awesome Kazekage not to atone for killing all those people, but for writing this.
- They just look too similar and act too similar. Guy was either in an affair with Lee's mother, or Guy just forgot to tell him that he's his father. And it'd be funny.
- Might Guy is only 11 years older then him... Wow, what a player :D
- He doesn't look 25, especially considering he's a manga/anime character - a lot of fans ignore the manual and assume Not Bishōnen = Over 40.
- Might Guy is only 11 years older then him... Wow, what a player :D
I mean, just look at the guy! Give him a squint, a bowler hat, and green smoking jacket, and you'd have a mirror image of Mr. Magoo! In fact, I can imagine him walking around his office muttering to himself "Oh Magoo, you've done it again!" just before strolling out an open fifth-story window only to be rescued from plunging to a certain and grisly death by a conveniently-placed awning.
- I thought he looked more like Asterix. Emperordaein
- I (not the original poster), don't watch Doctor Who, so which characters might be Time Lords and why?
- Madara and Danzo are both Time Lords (or possibly the same Time Lord).
- Maybe he started wearing it to get attention from the villagers, and couldn't stop because it was soo comfy.
- Also, the Juubi is either a behemoth or a Yozi. If it's a Yozi, the bijuu are clearly Demons of the Third Circle.
- Based on the fact that it's human in form, it's either Malfeas or his defining soul. This makes all the tailed beasts Demons of the 3rd or 2nd. However, Infernal Exalts combine with 1st circle demons as a part of their exaltation, not 2nd or 3rd.
- One big spanner in that whole thing is that the Wyld would've had to rewrite some of the laws of sorcery/necromancy, as no power in Exalted can bring anyone back to life. Unless they were all only mostly dead.
- Considering how many dub voice actors they share... (Orochimaru/Leeron, Kiba/Kamina, Simoun/Sasuke, Viral/Zaku etc)
- Not only that, they're EVIL SPIRALS
- Things would've turned out better if Sasuke was mentored by Kiba, who's got the spinning and the pet.
- Hey, maybe Naruto will learn the Spiral Energy Rasengan. Or maybe Gelel is Spiral Energy!
- Then I goes to show that the Sage of Six Paths must be Kamina! Or even LordGenome!
- His strongest attack (Rasengan/Lazengan) shares it's name with Lordgenome's Mecha as well.
- Adding on to this, Fugaku won't have reason to lead the Uchiha to rebellion - I'm sure Minato would set the elders straight. 'The culprit was an Uchiha; just one that was exiled by the clan a hundred years ago and presumed dead. Leave Fugaku and his hot wife out of it, mmkay?' So Sasuke would grow up happier, and so would Itachi.
- And the one who caused it was Haruhi Suzumiya, who gained interested in Ninjas at one point.
- ... You have no idea how rabid a plot bunny you just gave me. To Crossover hell!
- And the one who caused it was Haruhi Suzumiya, who gained interested in Ninjas at one point.
- Orihime and Mikuru. All three are shy and busty. Hinata and Orihime have a secret crush on the protagonist. Mikuru and Orihime are both clumsy redheads. Hinata and Mikuru are extremely reserved. Mikuru may also harbor interest for Kyon as well. Also, while Mikuru is "a walking shrine of Moe", Hinata and Orihime also show Moe traits. Is it even coincidental that they have the same voice in English?
- Only racially diverse village? Naruto is a blue eyed blonde(not a dye job unless it was done immediately after birth), as is Ino and Tsunade. The Leaf village isn't just an Asia analogue. Unless it's an Asia invaded by Vikings.
- I think that's the same with most villages - I can't imagine how many war orphans there must be. Wards of state?
- Actually, it seems that ninja make up the same percentage of the population that join the military in a regular town. How could they have a fully functioning city if everyone was military?
- Everyone isn't military—there's the guy who runs the ramen shop.
- The Military has cooks.
- Of course everyone isn't in the military. But we're not going to watch the people who aren't. This is a series about ninja, not random civilians who do stuff we don't care about. It'd be like turning on Dragon Ball Z only to have a seven episode series in the style of The West Wing dealing with the elections for mayor in some random city somewhere that'll be blown up as collateral damage.
- Although IMHO it's hard to not have a state run program for orphans in a modern state,plus Konoha has the reputation of being one of the softest villages,so it's not evidence that they're not filthy commies.
- Everyone isn't military—there's the guy who runs the ramen shop.
- Kisame took the sword from the previous wielder-something that can not be done with a Zanpakuto. Samehada also chooses it's own master and feeds off their chakra, which is not how a Zanpakuto works. Also, it's semi-organic, which is also very unlikely for a Zanpakuto. On the other hand, this description fits a Bakkoto from Bleach's Captain Amagai saga.
Think about it. The Raikage's name is A. His brother is Bee. One's a funky young black man with attitude, the other's a forged by hellfire badass who's been around and Seen It All.
The reason we've never seen Madara's face is because his human costume is at the cleaners, so he wears a mask to disguise the fact that he's a bug, one of Edgar's brothers.
It makes perfect sense.
- Alternatively, they'll pull an Inuyasha and shatter the 'almost totally reassembled Juubi' into thousands of smaller demons and spend the next three seasons hunting down
Jewel ShardsPokemondemons to defeatNarakuGiovanniMadara and the Akatsuki, who are already undergoing serious villain decay anyway and will soon be little more than Team Rocket.
- It's like the anti-Rocks Fall, Everyone Dies. Orgy Happens Everyone Wins?
- Since when has there been a cargo ship in this series? Kakashi and his porn?
- Temari + fan
- Naruto + Ramen
- Kankuro + puppets
- Since when has there been a cargo ship in this series? Kakashi and his porn?
- If Danzo had had a better idea of what he was doing, he could've trounced Sasuke and Madara and just about anyone else by unlocking the special abilities of every eye in his arm. That's like 15 unbelievably game breaking powers.
- Wait, so you mean that the Sharingan could be called Calvinball?
- And Danzo could've been playing with 15 different sets of rules.
- But Danzo didn't have any friends to kill, except possibly Sarutobi and he was always stronger than Danzo.
- And Danzo could've been playing with 15 different sets of rules.
- This troper is intrigued and would like to subscribe to your newsletter,but what would be the official diagnosis for Hinata's shyness and Kiba's being declared loud and annoying by Naruto off all people.
- Hinata's shyness is a result of poor self-esteem due to her father constantly berating her. I don't know what's wrong with Kiba, though I can't say I'm not partial to one popular fan explanation.
- This Troper is thinking ADHD for Kiba.
- This Troper is thinking AvoidantPersonalityDisorder for Hinata...at least prior to her character development.
- So Shino has Asperger's Syndrome? My only problem with this theory is that he doesn't really talk like someone with Asperger's/any other mild form of Autism. People on the Autism Spectrum, at the very best, tend to have halting speech patterns, usually with stuttering or lots of hesitation/random pauses. Their voices also tend to be a bit soupy. Shino's speech is very smooth and when he gets the chance, he tends to ramble to the point of Mr. Exposition.
- Not everyone with Asperger's has a speech impediment. See: this troper, this troper's brother, this troper's other brother who had one as a child but got over it with speech therapy well before the age of 12.
- And this troper has read somewhere that rambling on about specific subjects is actually one of the hallmarks of Asperger's/mild autism.
- Having high functioning asberger's myself, and two brothers with it I can say that shino fits the bill perfectly, so much that I never gave it a second thought. The speech impediment some people with it have is more due to bullying and being made fun of all the time giving them confidence issues, and when they get on a topic they feel confident about all speech problems lessen.
- Let's not forget that many people with Aspergers have painfully heightened senses. Some are forced to go to extreme measures to drown out the world around them, such as wearing sunglasses, padding their bodies with clothing, etc.
- ... You're kidding, right? Sakura's acting, to get him to lower his guard. She's not even doing a very good job of it.
- Maybe, maybe not. But even if she is, attacking her friends and knowingly throwing her life away - unless she's delusional or expecting a last-second miracle - to kill him definitely qualifies as obsessed.
- Hah! She probably isn't acting, seeing as she already offered to betray the village for Sasuke...
- You don't get it. She expects to die fighting him. It's supposed to be all dramatatic. And yes, she already offered to leave the village with him. Years ago, both plot wise and real time. She's undergone a little something called characted development since then. Going with Sasuke would be the same as Naruto demanding a date from her, and then yelling to the Sandime about how he'll become Hokage. All the characters have changed quite a lot from who they were pre-timeskip. ... of course then again given how badly parts of the manga have been written, I could be wrong. If I am it's just further proof that Kishimoto really is an awful writer, as opposed to a decent writer who occasionally suffers from bouts of sever mental retardation.
- This is by far the most logical theory ever written!
- Maybe, maybe not. But even if she is, attacking her friends and knowingly throwing her life away - unless she's delusional or expecting a last-second miracle - to kill him definitely qualifies as obsessed.
- So, what you're saying is, Sasuke is Duke Devlin?
- This really needs more clarification. Aside from being combat-heavy Shōnen manga having blond, Hot-Blooded protagonists with similar hairstyles, neither series much resembles the other. Ichigo is a Chaste Hero with a family and Bleach has No Hugging, No Kissing firmly in place, while Naruto's (the character) sole source of angst is unrequited love and family issues and Naruto (the series) is defined, in many ways, by the relationships characters have.
- Which could also double as confirming the last WMG, seeing as the Konoha High School clips used in the anime's ending theme was basically BLEACH scenes with Naruto characters.
CONCERNING THE SAGE OF SIX PATHS
In fact, he was THE GREAT KAMINA-SAMA!, shortly after his demise in his own dimension.
From what we know, Spiral Power can A.) create things, B.) let people do impossible stuff, and C.) allow creatures to rapidly evolve.
So Kamina dies on his homeworld. Then his spirit manages it make it to a different universe, where it uses Spiral Power to construct a new body to inhabit. He then realizes that his eyes have chaned, due to his sudden use of a lot of Spiral Power, and gives it a badass sounding name. After about a year of wandering and realizing that he could use superpowers all of a sudden, he gets it in his head to teach other people how to do the same.
The six paths are actually the five elemental styles and "the wandering spiral path". Thus, there must be a number of hidden techniques that make the impossible possible, creates a number of artificial bodies, and runs on hot blood...
Several names spring to mind... Naruto, Lee, Madara, Pain, Guy...I'm looking at you...
CONCERNING THE JYUUBI
The Jyuubi already existed on the Naruto world, but was... possessed by an otherworldy entity approx. seven years after the sage appeared
Yes, the Jyuubi was possesed by the Anti-Spiral, forming a composite being, with the Jyuubi's mind and body, and some of the remaining Anti-Spiral thoughts.
Furthermore, if we accept both the above WMG about Jyuubi possessing Madara and the WMG on the TTGL page about the Anti-Spiral being the result of Instrumentality, then the 'Moon's-Eye-Plan' makes a lot more sense...
CONCERNING THE HYUUGA
I just thought of this, so I decided to add it; Hyuuga are decended from another spiral who arrived in the Naruto world after his death.
One with dark blue hair. And a wife that, presumably, followed the Anti-Spiral in demise.
Yes, that one.
CONCERNING MADARA
When Madara completes the Moon's-Eye-Plot... He'll pull off an Anti-Spiral and trap everyone in anternate universe in their heads, leaving only himself outside.You should see where this is going...
- He could have taken it from Biggs Darklighter...
Got the idea from a guy in Deviantart. Just changed "beard" with "mohawk".
- Nah, they're clones of someone else. Someone named 'Lordgenome'. Think about it- he beat up the mecha that Simon was piloting with his bare hands. The Raikage beat up Susano'o (which Sasuke was using) with his bare hands. Both of them basically said "I don't care" about big wounds that they got. It's the only explanation.
- You mean Lordgenome's the one who was made from the breach in the time-space continuum that happened when Chuck Norris slightly brushed Mr. T's mohawk with his roundhouse kick?
- Probably. How else do you explain his badassitude?
- You mean Lordgenome's the one who was made from the breach in the time-space continuum that happened when Chuck Norris slightly brushed Mr. T's mohawk with his roundhouse kick?
Let's see just he's managed to do, concerning romantic interests.
1:) Though it took just being himself, he got the Ojou to fall for him.
2:) He got his originally intended love interest to reluctantly fall in love with him, in basically the same way.
3:) We can guess that Karin has said 'screw this' about going after anyone that overtly evil, and we know she commented noticed that Naruto is "the exact opposite of Sasuke". I'd think that anyone who just got stabbed by their last romantic target would probably make their next one as far from that as possible. Do the math.
4:) How many filler girls has naruto made an extremely good impression on?
So, you see where this is going, no? It's almost like Kishimoto is pulling a reverse Negima gambit.
- Does that make Sasuke the Yandere Gay Option?
- Nope. He's the Rival Turned Evil. The Gay Option is probably Sai.
- I always wondered if the story would make more sense as a video game than a manga/anime. Mind you, I had an RPG in the image of Kingdom Hearts in mind, rather than a dating sim, but this idea makes sense. In fact, rewriting the story to fit an RPG with dating sim aspects could be a way to extend the life of the series and resolve the Shipping issues. Don't like the way Kishimoto chose the pairings? Just make some different decisions and watch the alternate ending.
- Does that make Sasuke the Yandere Gay Option?
Addendum: In fact, it's a Dating Sim with three versions- Ramen, Clouds, and Fan. The evidence that the people playing the first two are doing stuff right is visible, as is the evidence that the guy playing the third is... not.
- Who is Clouds version?
- Shikamaru, he likes to stare at clouds.
The name of this super Rasengan?
- The name will actually be Rasen Shrunken.
- ... No. Fire > Wind, so it won't work against Ameterasu.
- ^... Awesomeness. Do Want.
- I'll tell you how I think it started. Zetsu was assigned a mission to kill, say, the Mizukage and impersonate him in order to get info on the Mist country. After he's done that, another Zetsu clone got a similar mission: he was supposed to kill and then impersonate the Raikage! By now, Zetsu is the impostor of every single person in the entire show, but since he's such a perfect clone of them, other Zetsu's don't know which people are real and which are imposters! So they don't fight each other for the evulz but because they don't want to throw away the cover-up! Zetsu has unknowingly taken over the world!
Instead of building the Watchtowers like in canon Mage, the Oracles built a "bridge" across the Abyss, thus altering the structure of the fallen world to be more like the Supernal. This is why Jutsu work.
For the plot itself, the Exarchs are mainly represented by The General. The General's Modus Operandi is to use warfare as a way to sap humanity's resources and keep them from touching the Supernal. He's been encouraging dissent and conflict among the nations and Ninja villages for years. The other Exarchs are relatively minor, either working with the General or running unrelated plots offscreen.
It begins with the Bloodline limits. People with bloodline limits are actually Proximai, people touched by Supernal power. The General, along with a few allied Exarchs, stirred up prejudice against Bloodline limits to exterminate any links to the Supernal. The Oracles' counter-move is to push Kohona into embracing Bloodline limits, bringing it to a position of power within the Ninja World.
The Oracles' next move is backing the Third Hokage. The third Hokage has a great deal of personal power, is extremely competent, and is a peace-loving man. The Hokage's personal power and efforts for peace make him an extremely big target for the General. Despite The General's efforts, the Third Remains in power. Orochimaru was something the General took advantage of, pushing him into villain hood as a side-plot to instigate conflict close to the Third. The General starts getting desperate when Minato becomes the Hokage. If he was in contact with the Professor, he probably shared at least some of his peaceful ideals. And if Minato had half of Naruto's charisma, he had a very good chance to get people to agree with him.
So the General pushes Madara Uchiha into throwing the Kyuubi at Kohona and lets Minato kill himself sealing the thing. He then makes several moves at once, simultaneously working on pushing the Uchiha clan into making a coup while manipulating Danzo into becoming the Third's enemy, planting the whole "The third is a Peace-loving fool" concept in his head in the process. The Uchiha plot short circuts thanks to Itachi and Danzo, but the General salvages Sauske from it as a useful, mentally-dysfunctional pawn. Incidentally, the General's the reason why Sauske has such strong Plot Armor. Sauske's just too valuable a pawn to lose.
The Oracles make some subtle manipulations to groom Naruto as their next champion. Massive personal power, a strong idealist, and huge reserves of determination, kindness, and charisma. They even get him to graduate with the Rookie nine so he'll forge bonds with ninja very likely to become extraordinary in the future. The General lobs Sauske at Naruto in hopes of fouling up any future plans by having Naruto become personally connected to Sauske. The General's next plot is literally Orochimaru's, subtly assisting the snake-nin in subverting Suna, marking Sauske, and Killing the Third. The death and destruction of the invasion was just a bonus. The Oracles take the opportunity to get Garra and Naruto to become friends, thus landing the Sand Jinnurichi in their corner.
The Oracles lob Naruto at Tsuande in order to stall Danzo. At the same time, the Oracles are backing Atsutki. The Oracles "hijacked" Madara into aiming for [[Instrumentality]] because it would result in a great Awakening, thus destroying the Abyss and severely weakening the Exarch's hold over reality. The Oracles being god-like beings, undoing instrumentality is entirely possible for them. At the same time, after the time skip Naruto is becoming increasingly powerful and popular, despite Danzo. If he survives, he might very well become Hokage, or exert great political influence in another manner. This is the Oracles's Xanatos gambit. By pitting Atsutki and Naruto against one another, the General is stuck with three very difficult options. One is to stop the war (not going to happen), one is to ensure mutual destruction (very difficult to pull off, especially with the Oracles meddling around), and the other is to simply kill Naruto and kill the Kyuubi with him. The General's currently going after the "kill Naruto" option as best he can, using with the side plot of destroying Kohona in hopes of keeping Naruto from obtaining political power by simply destroying his "nation", sort of like a reverse assassination.
I know, there's evidence that Tarzan was black, or a ninja, but the evidence speaks for itself.
He said to Madara, "Do you know who I am?" and Madara said, "You're a Madman."
- More likely that it is Deadpool.
- Think about it. Amazing martial artist who focuses on close combat (especially kicks), and has Meatball Hair. If she lacks the messed-up chakra paths that Lee has, it explains why she can do an energy attack (Can she? I don't remember...).
- What the hell is with all these shipping WMGs? This is a series about guys going around stabbing each other with lightning knives, setting each other on fire and punching each other in the face, not some sappy love story.
- It's called "wild mass guessing" for a reason. Chill out.
- Her name is "Chun Li", not Lee, but she does look quite a bit like Tenten.

- Actually,Minato Namikaze is Minato Arisato from Persona 3,it's the only possible explanation,after all they both can seal EldritchAbominations.
- Blonde hair.
- The eyes can be considered a sub-effect of Yukari's gap manipulation; she's depicted with both gold and purple eyes, along with red and blue on occasion. Naruto has displayed (almost) all of these colors, going red with Kyuubi's power, gold with Sage Mode, and, in fanon at least, purple when he's getting dangerously close to using the Kyuubi's power. Blue is his natural, of course.
- Who else would be the best to seal a Kyuubi then the descendants of a Youkai who had one as a servant?
- Yukari, at least fanon-wise, is said to be responsible for sealing ExRumia within her ribbon; this would explain the sealing skills Minato is commonly said to be a master of. Though, at least recently, apparently the sealing skills come from the Uzumaki side. But who said that Yukari couldn't be the progenitor of both Uzumaki and Namikaze?
- The settings of both Touhou and Naruto are both similarily anachronistic yet at the same time fairly oriental in depiction.
- Naruto's trickster nature, often attributed to the Kyuubi's influence, can also be pointed towards family; namely, Yukari's tendency to mess around with people for fun. (Dammit, Naruto/Yukari!)
- The jutsu Minato used in chapter 502 to redirect the Kyuubi's Wave-Motion Gun had an odd similarity to one of Yukari's gaps, and his Teleport Spam use of Hiraishin is quite similar to Yukari's most commonly portrayed use of her main, utilitarian gaps. (Minato only being able to teleport all of him, and at that only with a declaration of a Jutsu, may be an example of the Sukima Youkai blood thinning out as the lineage becomes more human.)
- Of course, since Minato's main specialty seems to be turning out to be Time/Space jutsu (if Shikaku and Chouza identifying him by the type of jutsu used and that alone is any indication) and his favoritism to his custom Hiraishin kunai, the Namikaze's might well be a descendant line of Izayoi Sakuya instead; in this case, the point about their eye colors is shared and it has the added point of the similarity of Naruto's Kage Bunshin spam and Sakuya's infinite knife barrage. In fact, Naruto's 'Kunai from All Directions' even vaguely resembles 'Buriallusion: Phantasmic Killer' from Scarlet Weather Rhapsody.
Of course, this being Touhou, the number of comparisons we could make would probably be really, really freaking high. (Sakura/Tsunade can be compared to Suika pretty easy, since the medics' super strength technique is a manipulation of chakra density, in effect. Along with the Tsurupettan jokes for Sakura.)
- Link please. We must examine the evidence!
- The title is "An Anthropological Study of the Hyuuga," but Kurenai doesn't actually appear in the story. It's just a reference Hiashi makes when he realizes Hinata is hiding something and briefly wonders if she might have taken after her mentor and started wearing nothing but a genjutsu.
- Awwwww....

This is from the Omake where Hinata won a ramen eating contest by a clear 15 bowls (46) ahead of Yamato (31). Basically, chakra = energy. Food gives people energy, so therefore, replenishes chakra. When in an eating contest, any member of the Hyuga clan would be constantly venting their chakra as they ate, so they don't become full until they've eaten more than any other competitior.
- Aside from the fact that this ignores basic biology, it's a safe bet that food doesn't become immediately vaporized to replenish chakra once it's ingested...
- That would imply that Jesus was dead.
- I believe the correct trope to file that under is Babies Ever After. Everybody Has Lots of Sex means promiscuity. Having the survivors pair off and have a bunch of kids is Babies Ever After.
Exactly as it says. There were no ninjas. There was no Uchiha massacre. There was no curse mark. Sasuke is still about 7, and is hallucinating all of this. Perhaps he got into something he wasn't supposed to...
I mean, after all, doing the math, Itachi should have been F***ing 12 years old when he supposedly killed his clan. Flashbacks show that he was nowhere near 12 looking in his appearance. Not to mention, that I would doubt that a 12 year old child, prodigy or no, would be able to do something of that magnitude.
That being said, perhaps each and everyone represents a certain aspect Saskue remembers or longs for.
I'll leave it up to you to decide what.
- Madara helped Itachi with the massacre, Itachi had the Mangekyou, while the others did not, it was in the night and in the Uchiha mansion, so they were less on guard. Itachi had the element of surprise, an extra power-up and the support of Madara. So it is possible that Itachi (and Madara) killed the clan.
- It's still a manpower problem. If the Uchiha were large enough to make up almost the entirety of the Military Police, as has been implied, two people simply couldn't move fast enough to kill them all, especially since at least some of those police had to be outside of the Uchiha complex. For that matter, wouldn't there have been Uchiha on missions?
- Remember, the massacre happened on the night when ALL the Uchiha had already called back to begin the coup. Also, considering that Minato's space time jutsu was capable of taking out at least 50 ninjas at the blink of an eye, it's not improbable that Madara's superior version, combined with Itachi's Mangekyo Sharingan, would be able to quickly wipe out a huge portion of the Uchiha before the rest could even begin to figure out what was happening.

- Maybe the Naruto world is the fifth or sixth age? I do not think it could be the first because that is implied to be our own time, and the seventh age just does not seem right for the Naruto world.
- Think about it! Naruto and his two surrogate fathers, Iruka and Kakashi, are, respectively, The Kirk, The McCoy, and The Spock.
- Naruto rushes headlong into danger, his greatest strengths are boldness and altruism, and he doesn't believe in the no-win scenario. Also, he's a Launcher of a Thousand Ships.
- Kakashi shows his emotions much more openly than the Vulcan does, but he's still highly intelligent, deeply loyal, incredibly efficient, extremely logical, and living under the shadow of his heritage.
- Iruka is basically the embodiment of emotional courage and heart. He has a crazy temper, he's less combat-oriented than the other two (yet he's smarter than The Kirk and able to keep pace with Kakashi to an extent), and in his second appearance with Kakashi, stands up to him and basically calls him out for being heartless-in front of the Hokage. That is some McCoy-level balls right there.
- Kakashi/Iruka and Spock & McCoy are the second most popular slash pairings in their respective fandoms (involving lead characters. I AM DISREGARDING CHEKOV/SULU HERE FOR THE SAKE OF MY WMG), and they don't get "are they or aren't they" debated nearly as much as their more popular counterparts, Spock/Kirk and Naruto/Sasuke (incidentally, another pairing between a Kirk and a Spock (although Sasuke is motivated by RAGE rather than logic)).
- Sakura and Uhura are both highly intelligent, competent women who don't get many chances to outshine the guys.
- Both series involve massively powerful Horrors (the Tailed Beasts and the Borg), explosions, plot developments pulled out the ass, a dedicated yet divided fanbase often scorned among "serious" SF or anime fans, puppets, scaly beasts, and huge amounts of Phlebotinum.
- Half the fans love each series for the action and half for the characters.
- The internet contains EXTREMELY MASSIVE amounts of fanworks about them (of quality ranging from stellar to eye-bleedingly crappy)
- Both have both male- and female-oriented Fanservice.
- Both have incredibly detailed cosmologies/settings and more trivia than you can shake a lirpa at.
- Rock Lee can do zat.
1. Kishi will Ass Pull two random love interests (completely new characters) for them in the last chapter of the series, thus successfully alienating a large portion of his previously non-alienated fans. He will then laugh maniacally and drink in the disappointment like the sweetest champagne.
- The anime team will say "Balls that! We didn't accentuate the Ho Yay and Ship Tease -ery between these two for years just to face THIS!" They will get them together in the anime and both shippers and nonshippers will have a version to fall back on. (See above WMG concerning the resolution of NarutoxSakura versus NarutoxHinata in this manner.)
- Have you forgotten about Anko? Assuming she lives, she could get together with one of them. Of course, considering how crazy and sadistic Anko is, Hilarity Ensues. We also have Kurenai and Shizune.
2. They have feelings for each other but will never be together due to the untimely death of one or both.Another favorite device of Kishi's.
3. They've been together since early in the series, but Kishi wants to pull a big reveal.Perhaps this will be established through a Bedmate Reveal, hopefully scarring Naruto for life. Because freaked-out Naruto is just hilarious.
4. It's going to happen any day now.Yep. Aaaaaannny day now.
5. Kishi will leave it open-ended, probably through a blatant Ship Tease in the last chapter.Thus frustrating everyone with an opinion but alienating few. (Kishi not alienating fans? NEVER!)
6. They will be the ONLY pairing that gets resolved at the end of the series.Cue Kishi's maniacal Evil Laugh and the screams of anguished fangirls.
- Uh, where is there even a hint that they actually know each other as more than a polite nod when passing each other in the market? I can't think of any shared page time.
- WATCH. THE. ANIME. My God, I'm so tired of telling people this. In the anime, they're canonically friends. LET'S ALL REALIZE THAT AND MOVE ON FROM THIS QUESTION. SERIOUSLY.
- Jeeze, chill out. I've never seen anything about this anywhere. I read the Manga and only watch the Anime infrequently, and of the parts of it I've seen, Iruka has never shown up. Ever. If this is all happening in Anime Filler isn't it non-canon anyway? Besides, if you have to explain this to everyone, it's possible you're reading too much into what you see.
- WATCH. THE. ANIME. My God, I'm so tired of telling people this. In the anime, they're canonically friends. LET'S ALL REALIZE THAT AND MOVE ON FROM THIS QUESTION. SERIOUSLY.
- Anyone familiar with the game knows that when someone says "—— says", the next statement after that is a lie. For example, Madara 'says' to Sasuke during the whole "Turns out Itachi was good" reveal that the nine-tails' attack on Konoha was a 'force of nature'. EVERONE ELSE says it's him. Madara 'says' that he gave Nagato the Rin'negan. Nagato himself and Jiraiya can back up the fact that he's had the Rin'negan since birth. Madara 'says' he aims to bring world peace by a secret genjutsu, then he destroys his own plan by letting everyone know about it anyway.
- This is exactly how human flight works in Dragon Ball, a skill anyone can learn, and it's well-known that that series was a major influence on Kishimoto.
- The Fridge Logic to that is, they DO have the capacity to generate electricity, and electric vehicles may have limited range, but it's still wider than draft animals.
- I think Kiba was the one who wore "kevlar" under his coat, as you can see late in the Sakon and Ukon fight.
- Based on the references made by Naruto and Sakura, we can surmise that the Pain Invasion Arc takes place some time between October 10 and early December, because Naruto's 16th birthday has already passed, and it's still autumn a few days later. This places the start of Part II around March, assuming that the six months reference concerning the time between the start of Part II and Orochimaru's attempt to take Sasuke's body is accurate (where did that time go, anyway?).
- GC is thus the future of Naruto.
- ...This actually makes sense with the revelation in Kingdom Hearts 3D [Dream Drop Distance] that Nobodies actually grow new hearts over time. Considering both Sora and Naruto can make friendships with practically everyone, this makes sense; Naruto jumpstarted the heart's growth, causing Sai to start feeling emotion.
- So, by your logic, every Buddhist is a Nazi?
- Hidan, and Fred Phelps, are by extension fusions of Fred from Scooby-Doo and Olympic
stonerswimmer Michael Phelps, just with different attributes highlighted.
- They put themselves in the game and for fairness' sake allow themselves to lose every now and then. Also, it's not all "heroes = Shikamaru, villains = Kabuto", they have a mixed bag. Aoba and Hiruzen is on Kabuto's team, and Zabuza and Konan are on Shikamaru's team, for example.
- At the end of it all, Tobi lays down a phat dubstep beat while Kabuto and Shikamaru end their universal game with a breakdance battle between Sasuke and Naruto respectively. Shikamaru controls naruto's pop/locks with shadow possession, while Kabuto uses Edo Tensei to turn Sasuke's krumpin into a full on People Puppets impossible feat.
- I just couldn't resist.
- Read chapter 408 and tell me it's not. That's exactly how Geass works other than Sasuke giving the command after geassing the guy!
- Nonsense. The ten-tail is obviously Tenten.
- Or someone could Summmon Emporio Ivankov to do it.
- So he's Darth Plaguis the Wise now?
- Maybe he is.
- What would happen if guns were introduced to Naruto? A ninja couldn't dodge the bullets so couldn't an army of civilians just wipe Akatsuki off the map with all of them armed with hunting rifles?
- Yup. Word of god agrees with you there pretty much. I can't remember the exact quote though.
- Doesn't stop one of the Pain bodies from being a cyborg puppet thing that basically fires bazooka shells at people.
- Kishimoto was discussing weaponry in Naruto and I think the actual meaning behind the quote is that Ninja weaponry would be obsolete if firearms were introduced. That's why he's not having guns in the story.
- That...makes...absolutely... no sense. At all. I mean, how... what... WHY? Okay, lets forget that many jutsus posses far more destructive capabilities than even modern heavy weaponry can deliver, which would make the "treath" of weapons laughalable. Why would you believe that bullets would hurt them in the first place? I mean, you can't change their endurance by putting them in a Real Life situation and make them act like your run-of-the-mill Vanilla mortal. Bullets force (Kinetic Energy per mass) is absurdingly low compared to the normal damage a Ninja battle inflict in the combatants (Sasuke Vs Naruto Valley of the End for example) by Taijitsu alone, not to mention Ninjitsu and Kinjitsu. Why is the belief that guns are omnipotent killing weapons. Then you take velocity, Do you really believe that a normal (well trained) civilian would be capable of so much as scratch the shadow of a Ninja before he is hundreds of meters away (or an inch of his face), let alone hit them?. And yes, A ninja could evade a bullet. They had shown to face things far faster (like lighting/Shunshin) without fuss. Then you must take in consideration subterfuge or silent Killing, if you want to go archaic. I mean, your "group" of civilians couldn't so much as blink before a single member of Akatsuki reap them to Kingdom Come. To be honest I don't see how bullets (unless they where Magical/Chakra type with beyon good gunslingers behind them, and even then) could change the power blocks of Naruto in significative way, less alone bring the extinction of the Ninja breed. Its just too silly.
- It's not that guns are automatically better than the ninja techniques, it's that they would replace them. ALL those abilities and skills that the ninja learn that would make them easily able to beat anyone with a gun? It takes time to learn those things, and effort. Guns however can be figured out within minutes. If guns where introduced to the world, nobody would have any incentive to learn all the destructive techniques because they could just use guns.
- Alternate take: the ninjas would stop being ninjas and start being superpowered Gunslingers.
- Which would be awesome. Expanding on the above, not only would people not bother to learn Super Awesome Mega no Jutsu, but governments would be able to make a few dozen guns in what? A day? Whereas making a few dozen ninjas takes no less than 14 years. Add in the expense of maintaining entire villages full of people who are known to go on mass killing sprees at the drop of a hat, and the only way to keep them in line is to glare sternly at them, and you've got a perfect reason to choose easily mass-produced, cheap weapons that anyone can use with minor training.
- Actually in the film Blood prison some guards are seen with rifles.....
- Yup. Word of god agrees with you there pretty much. I can't remember the exact quote though.
- A Møøse once bit my sister.
- There are actually five books, Make Out Paradise, Make Out Paradise 2, Make Out Paradise 3, Make Out Violence and Make Out Tactics. But yeah, they have to be bigger.
- Did you ever find yourself re-reading books you enjoyed? I've read Harry Potter so many times I lost count. What makes you think the same can't be true here?
- I wonder who Kakashi will be?
- Mickey Mouse.
- Given how badass King Mickey is, I'd Jaraiya would be Mickey. I think Kakashi would be Aqua.
- Mickey Mouse.
- This is how he has always been able to adapt and overcome his opponents. He is always developing new abilities, switching sides whenever he wants, and has already curbstomped through many of the major villains. The Kages created him from pure chakra and used yet another Deus ex Machina to hold him together. Now they have unleashed him.
- Konoha is Athens, Kiri is Rhodes, Suna is Thebes, Iwa is Macedon, and Kumo is SPARTA!
- The common method of describing insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results. The thing in question being attempting to save Sasuke. His attempts have no reasonable way of succeeding, but he tries anyway, expecting that Sasuke will say "Oh well, since you put it that way, I guess I'm not evil anymore. Let's have sweet sweet man-sex in the middle of the street."
Madara succeeded in killing Naruto as a baby. Everything that's happened since is a mass delusion by Minato, who believes himself to be Naruto. Kabuto is a ninja therapist trying to perform Inception by summoning the real Naruto.
(since this is just for fun ) After years of fighting in hell the marine was turned into a massive demon so he would stop massacring the locals .Then he got out .
- The Kyuubi is basically a unstopable berserker killing machine and the marine is basically that in human form .
Although Hinata's mother was anime only, we do get to see her here◊. I think her hair and face are fairly similar to Mikoto's. They could be closely related somehow as either sisters or cousins and then ended up marrying the leaders of separate clans.
Or maybe another Incarnation of pure evil that, unlike Yami or Akuro, could never be killed, not even by the gods, so he had to be split into nine pieces upon the sage of six path's death and had to be sealed away. And It would fit, considering Naruto and Okami are both based on ancient Shinto mythology.
Seeing as most of the Sharingan abilities (save for Amaterasu and Susanoo) are to mess with your opponent's head (exemplified in the first Kakashi Vs Zabuza fight, in which he uses his Sharingan's mimic ability to mess around with Zabuza and Itachi's prowess as Genjutsu user) it just makes no sense for it to have a ninjutsu ability like Amaterasu, and even then an inextinguishable flame that's supposed to be hotter than the sun.
So, it's more likely for it to actually be a Genjutsu that everybody thinks- possibly even the user- is a Ninjutsu- the mislabeling even works in its favour, as the first step to dispel a Genjutsu is to recognize to be under the effect of one, but if you don't think that the effect is in your head then you can't do anything to remove it.
However we've seen Amaterasu actually do damage- for example, crippling the Raikage's arm so that he had to cut it off (which doesn't dismiss my claim of Genjutsu, btw). How is it possible for it to cause physical pain? Given that we've also seen the Sharingan showing Reality Warper abilities- for example the technique Danzou used that closed one eye to "cheat" incoming attacks, or Madara's intangibility- and taking into account an anime filler in which a girl had a rare ability to paint things and make them come true- the painting would put the foe under a Genjutsu until complete, iirc, and if the painting was finished you would simply stop existing- we can assume that the Sharingan mimics this ability and causes your opponent's mind to think the fire is real to the point your body sustains damage because it believes that's the way it should be.
(I know it's somewhat confusing, but I hate the idea of yet another fire-based Jutsu that doesn't deliver what it promises)
Since Karura doesn't appear to have named Gaara out of hatred after all, and considering Temari and Kankuro's names, if she named all three of them it seems far more plausible that she just had the strangest taste in names. Her parents did too, given what she and her brother are named—perhaps a family tradition?
- She could have just chosen the names for the way they sound, and not even considered their meanings.
I realise that Nagato and Konan themselves might be rather biased in their memories, but Konan seemed to come across as more genuinely kind-hearted than pre-timeskip Sakura, and she seemed to act like both Team Mom (including moments of Mama Bear) and Lady of War, as opposed to pre-timeskip Sakura being useful only in fits of inadvertance and post-timeskip to be smash, smash, smash. Also Konan's powers always seemed, like early Katara's waterbending up until they reached the North Pole, to have a rather less than obvious utility in and out of combat, then suddently after proper training, they become devastatingly effective.
As for Yahiko, who could (unlike Badass Normal Sokka) definitely make use of the Elements (though exactly which ones we have yet to find out), he was definitely The Smart Guy of the group. Akatsuki was his idea, after all.
Does anyone else see it?
- Pro. He did beat his best friend, and Bieber beat a girl
- Con. Every one likes Sasuke
- (I'm the original poster of this WMG). By this point, Sasuke is less than sane, so I wouldn't say that everyone likes him. Just look at his section on Naruto's Headscratchers page.
I mean, just look at her and Kushina. Same hair color (adjusting for lighting), same natural hair part, same chin, nose, and cheekbones. Her powers could even be the result of misusing the Uzumaki Keikei Genkai and clan jutsu: after all, they are based on sealing chakra chains using one's hair!
Mind you, if Naruto told her his surname during their fights, that would make things extra squicky.
- Fuuka might have possessed an Uzumaki but otherwise this wouldn't make sense (she's a body snatching hairpiece afterall).
- Then, the two Aizens will do a Fusion Dance, and become Kubo Tite. Then the giant statue will disintegrate into microscopic troll faces that kill both Naruto and B. Then, Tite will finally reawaken the Ten-Tails, which turns out to be Pantskat. Then the whole thing will turn out to be a dream by Isane.
This shoul;d clear things up for you. Check out the VERY FIRST TWO pictures. or for your own results look up inoshikacho on google images.
- Bingo book?
- I thought they only gave those to ANBU members.
- Kono must obviously be part of the ANBU then.
- Clearly. He can do the freaking Rasengan as a genin. After a SINGLE explanation and demonstration from Naruto. Who explained it POORLY. He's clearly hiding his potential.
- I thought they only gave those to ANBU members.
- I doubt it would be hard to image. Post-Time Skip Sasuke looks exactly like you'd expect him to if you only saw him when he has younger.
- The scene was played for laughs. Remember the MST3K Mantra.
- Sha-bark-ken?
- Does this mean that Tonbo (a Chunin who presides over the first part of the Chunin Exam and works on getting information out of the Rain ninja Jiriaya sent to Konoha who has bandages over both his eyes) has two Sharingan?
- Yes... Because his full name is Uchiha Tonbo! He managed to escape the massacre, and decided to drop his last name and started wearing the bandages over his eyes to hide the truth! It will be revealed when Uchiha Tonbo removes his bandages and starts taking over the manga from WITHIN the village! with three Uchihas and two (confirmed) Sharingan borrowers, Naruto will become Tenten pt. 2!
- This theory implies that the Sharingan also exists in Suna; as far as I can recall, Baki's never removed that thing that covers half his face, INCLUDING AN EYE...
- Danzou sold a Sharingan eye to Baki. I mean, if you can miss dozens of people being kidnapped by Orochimaru, or the fact someone strong enough to be Hokage (Danzou) disappears for a few days with a garrison of ANBU, and only Danzou coming home... What's one eye? Especially after a genocide on the level of the Uchiha Massacre. And, well, Kishimoto is trying too hard to make Danzou a bad guy while showing him to be a pretty damn good Hokage, so its not exactly out of the question.
- What about Naruto? His eye's covered in bandages as of the latest chapter.
- And it turns out that Ao has a Byakugan behind his eyepatch.
- Does this mean that Tonbo (a Chunin who presides over the first part of the Chunin Exam and works on getting information out of the Rain ninja Jiriaya sent to Konoha who has bandages over both his eyes) has two Sharingan?
- Well, we know what Naruto's gift from Itachi is now. When he removes those bandages from over his eye, it'll reveal that he now has Itachi's Mangekyou Sharingan. What it'll do once he reveals it, who knows? Sharingan changes powers depending on chapter.
- Does it mean that Dosu also had an implant? And we would NEVER find out? Kishimoto!!!!!!!!!!!! Will you ever stop tricking us!?!?
- No doubt he had a failed Sharingan or Byakugan. Orochimaru tried (and failed) to implant something, hence why the eye was covered. It was all a ploy to see if he could get the Sharingan or Byakugan for himself without having to hijack Sasuke's or Itachi's body.
- There have been too many showings of the Sharingan and Byakugan. I give the Mizukage enough credit to at least use a dojutsu from her country. (So what if it was only filler? Ranmaru's Akagan - for lack of an official name - kicked the crap out of the Konoha dojutsu. And the Rinnegan... I don't see that being something that more than one user at a time could have.)
- Don't forget about Ino! Maybe that's how she became so good at Mind Transfer Jutsu.
- But he ain't no T. Campbell.
- Only one other Sharingan?
- Of course. And one Byakugan, too, just because he is a pervert.
- This also explains why Danzo get's away with so much. Given how many eyes he has...
- If he had extra Sharingans they would be on the right (his left) of his face, since he briefly partially removes his mask to confirm his identity.
Even Asura in his ultimate form couldn't defeat it, so he taught the Sage of Six Paths how to utilize his Inner Energy like how himself and the deities that betrayed him did before he died trying to stop it, and the Sage of Six Paths learned to utilize it in a way none of the deities did, by creating Sealing arts and learning to manipulate the elements to seal the Ten Tailed beast in himself.
To emphasize the Gohma Nature, the Ten tails will have black skin with lava like veins when fully revealed, just like the rest of the Gohma do.
[[WMG: OR it's Jareth
- Sakura- She probably goes commando. Those shorts are so tight, I can assume wedgies would be a common ocurrance.
- Lee- Either briefs or the above theory for the same reasons.
- Hinata- Nothing too revealing, such as granny panties. She already dresses so modestly that it's not too hard to believe.
- Tobi first appear in shippuden. 'inner Sakura' dissapper.
- Inner Sakura fighting:punching. Outer Sakura fighting:traps.
- Shippuden Sakura fighting:punching and kicks. Tobi fighting:traps and misdirection.
- Inner Sakura speaking:say what on her mind. Outer Sakura speaking:almost never.
- Shippuden Sakura speaking:say what on her mind. Tobi speaking:is a lieing liar who lie.
- Inner Sakura injuries:No body. Outer Sakura injuries:vs kin grab by hair after 5 minutes. vs Ino Punched unconscious after 5 minutes.
- Shippuden Sakura injuries:vs sasori poison, cut up and stabbed. Tobi injuries:vs everyone invulnerable for you guess it 5 minutes.
The more I think about it the more I think I'm on to something.
Tobi wants to use it as part of an assimilation plot. It would make sense if WE SEEK THAT WHICH SHALL BE US. WE ARE THE VOICE. THAT FROM WHICH CREATION COMES FORTH. THAT INTO WHICH CREATION WILL COLLAPSE. WE ARE ALREADY HERE.
- He puts on a mask covering his face to hide his identity in Naruto as well as Mortal Kombat, but the spiky gray hair still shows.
- His ninja training and identity are a permanent part of his character.
- All three are capable of teleportation.
- He is capable of turning invisible.
- He recognizes his Thousand Years of Death attack when Faust uses it againt him as evidenced by his reply.
- He can create shadow clones and taught the technique to his partner Noob.
- He has also been witnessed performing this technique when he was maskless and thought he was alone in Guiltyrealm.
- In Narutoria he is more than familiar with handseals and tends to favor the exact same handseal which he uses both while parrying projectiles in Mortal Kombat as well as while teleporting and Instant Killing in Guilty Gear.
His loss in power is a result of being dead for so long and sitting around in despair. The reason he doesn't use a variety of techniques despite being the Rikudo Sennin is the same reason we haven't seen Kakashi use close to 1000 techniques and why many ninja with a lot of screen time have a low variety of DISTINCT techniques (20 different rasengans isn't truly 20 different techniques.) He only needs what he's used. He also doesn't want to blow his cover. The reason he doesn't claim to be the Rikudo Sennin instead of Madara is because people may not even be willing to believe that the Rikudo Sage is still alive. Madara is a recent threat that may seem plausible. Also, Madara reminded him of a young version of himself and his dead brother, which made him respect him in the same way Madara respected Hashirama and at one time, Tobi.
The clincher? In reference to the last episode of TTGL, he refers to himself as nobody. In the same fashion as saying that he's not his brother, he also says he doesn't wish to be anyone, not even Simon the Digger, showing how he has lost a sense of identity. He's digging straight through into the darkness, even if its his own grave he's digging. When he creates the Juubi, it means he's won.
- Now, I know the default explanation is Rule of Funny: It's a Japanese prank, so by using it Kakashi shows that he's really not taking the fight seriously. But I think there's more to it than that. However, beware: the truth is rather Squicky, so have the Brain Bleach handy, if you dare reveal it:
- He created it to counter the Sexy Jutsu. It wasn't meant to go up Naruto's ass...
- There's more to it, though. I don't think Kakashi is a rapist; more likely, he wanted to teach Naruto a lesson. So Kakashi hears about the Sexy Jutsu, and realizes the potential horrific backfire if Naruto tries to use it against someone who won't resist. He decides to show Naruto just why the Sexy Jutsu isn't a good idea. Kakashi reading Make-Out Paradise isn't just to show that he wasn't taking the fight seriously, or to suggest that he's a Covert Pervert; it was actually a failed Batman Gambit. Kakashi hoped that if Naruto saw him as a pervert, he'd use the Sexy Jutsu to try and wheedle a bell off him, setting up Kakashi's painful Aesop. Naruto proves Too Dumb to Fool and misses the deliberate hint, so Kakashi just uses the move anyway, possibly hoping to get Naruto thinking of the implicaitons anyway. And if you say Kakashi wouldn't go that far? He was willing to put a knife to Sasuke's throat to make a point. His attempt to show Naruto how badly the Sexy Jutsu could backfire would go into the same boat.
Meanwhile, the other gods were sealed in the Rinnegan. The Outer Path that Pain uses for his revival techniques is actually the captured god, Emma-O, the judge of the dead. The other gods give him his control of the elements and such. Kagutsuchi for Fire, Suijin for Water, Fuujin for Wind, Raijin for Lightning, and Inari for Earth.
Itachi was working for Amaterasu, which is why he had the crows, as one of her greatest followers was the three-legged crow Yatagarasu. He engineered the plot to kill the Uchiha because, if the Uchiha all die, the gods will be freed. That is why Sasuke, Tobi, Madara, and Itachi were all so powerful, because the gods' power is so close to the surface.
Minato discovered the ancient seal that the other gods were sealed in, that the Rinnegan can access, and he freed Raijin, who helped him make the Hirashin, and is now watching over Kakashi. That is how Kakashi's Chidori powered up to the Raikiri, through Raijin's blessing. Luckily for Nagato, his natural element was Lightning, so he didn't lose control of that element.
- I also have to wonder if there are two other families of beasts- one group of three and one group of seven(I think) in addition to the nine Tailed Beasts and the Ten-Tailed Beast's body.
- His talk with his father after the Pain fight was a near death experience, and he was waking up anyways when Pain revived everyone.
- Alternatively, he is a zombie. and that's why he wears a mask all the time.
Come on, with all this whole Lotus-Eater Machine and progenitor of the world thing I can't be the only one thinking of the Juubi turning into a giant naked clone of the deceased big bad's love interest before tuning everyone into orange ninja juice.
- Bonus points if it cruxifies the nine bijuu into a Dharma Wheel.
That's why he wears that mask. No one would take him seriously otherwise.
Anko is hiding a pistol on her person at all times to suicide in case she decides that she just can't take anymore of the already overly too long and arduous plot, but eventually she will decide that it is far better to use it to get rid of Kabuto.
Naruto will take it with Sasuke (as they're now buddies again) and Kabuto (for good measure). All the little genin taking it with the three of them will then soil their pants at having to compete with these three. We fade out with Naruto, Sasuke, and Kabuto laughing together in sheer amusement.
Well, we know that she's a teen, ninja, and turtle. She probably has six fingers to go with it.
- There's a theory circulating the internet that suggests that Hiashi does ship them, but for a different reason. It holds that he believes in eugenics and is convinced that the Uzumaki and Hyuuga bloodlines being merged would spawn the most powerful child in the history of shinobi.
- Well, going off the sequel series and how Himawari single-handedly knocked out Kurama AND befriended Shukaku, Hiashi might have had a point...
The True Form of the , ten tails is a giant people absorbing tree which, a long long time ago, granted magical powers (exuding typically blue energy to boot) which it is obviously immune to most forms of as a result? Hmmm…
…Sound familiar?
That’s because the Naruto universe IS actually the bad future of ‘Blast of the Tempest’, a world where the main characters FAILED. As such, the , horrible cycle repeated all over again from the start as the remnants of civilization restarted, meaning that the Tree of Genesis actually is the ten tails.
Even further proof comes from how the , bijū are derived from said , tree, making them stand in’s for the , Tree of Exodus when the , sage of the six paths managed to split the tree into nine separate creatures due to his sheer concentration of badass. The Nine Tailed Fox, who’s chakra is chakra is also red, just like the , Tree of Exodus’s magical energy (WHAT A COINCIDENCE) only reinforces this theory.
But Moegi doesn't count of course, because she's a girl in the Naruto-verse and as we all know, girls never amount to anything story relevant in the Naruto-verse.
- Actually, the issue of A Pupil of Mine Until He Turned to Evil started with the Second Hokage (Danzo).
In the past, almost all heroes and villains were killed by a experiment from Sinister, the Juubi, a creature with powers stolen from Sandman, Human Torch, Hydro-Man,Magma,Bug,Anarchist,Man-Bull, Electro and Jean Grey(from where comes all the power and hate from the Nine Tails). The ones that survived had descendants and was from there that the kekkei genkais came from.
I suspect that Sasuke hasn't completed his Susanoo yet. His next upgrade for will be in the form of Itachi a la Lagann-hen.
And the ending is their death hallucinations. What, you want me to believe that Choji and Karui married, that Anko got fat, and that Sasuke and Sakura had a daughter that by some inexplicable reason looks like Karin? You're surely joking. Now Kakashi and Sakura will have to repopulate the world with Spiral Zetsu as the nanny.
She helped both the Sand and Sound ninja infiltrate the Leaf Village during the Chunin Exams (the Ten Ten we saw get curb stomped by Temari was in fact a clone created by an as-yet-unidentified Jutsu), helped Danzo undermine the Leaf on numerous occasions (including letting him know about the messenger Toad that see him kill) AND used a discrete method of contacting Itachi and Kisame during the Rescue Gaara arc. She also helped create the doppelgangers Team Guy had to fight (she could have defeated her own easily if she wanted to, since she knows the jutsu to disperse them) AND helped seal both the One Tail, Two Tail AND Three Tails (from a distance, of course; and the Ten Ten who was with Team Guy was also a clone, of course) She would have continued to undermine the Leaf for whoever would accept her services, except Naruto saving the Leaf Village motivated her to do a Heel–Face Turn without any of the Leaf Village realizing she was ever anything but loyal.
Why in the world would she do all this? Surely this backstory this elaborate must have an equally elaborate tragic past worth of the long and winding story of Naruto? Well, it's because her family was killed by the Nine Tails, of course!
What is it? What could it possibly be, if we've never once seen it, even in filler? It's a passive stat buff that kicks in when her and team are close to losing, of course! How the hell did you THINK Team Guy beat their dopplegangers?
But wait, wouldn't the doppleganger have that ability too?
Just kidding. She's a fictional character.
I mean, he was the fastest shinobi in life, used the Flying Raijin, and wears blue armor in combat.
Assuming Lee was born at least nine months after Might Dai died, and any time beforehand (we don't know exactly when the Third Shinobi World War was, do we?) it's possible. This means that Might Guy is Lee's older half-brother, explaining their resemblance in both looks and personality. (Those Might Dai genes are strong!)
