*** Well, no, Tsunade's healing ability is Creation Rebirth, which can 100% be used on others since Sakura did it for Obito. But the point stands that Night Guy's damage might simply be irreversible, espeically if Naruto's Yin-Yang Release didn't fix it in the first place. It was already established, back when Naruto developed Rasenshuriken, that certain injuries are simply outside the scope of what healing or regeneration can fix (unless you have Hashirama's cells, of course.)

** Tsunade's healing ability is not something that can be used on other people, they have to learn it. Reattaching parts also seems to be comparatively easy in the Naruto world compared to actually healing the parts themselves. Naruto lost his ability to do what he did for Kakashi when he lost that seal on his hand. As for the new arm Naruto got, it was specifically made for him, and the cells used may not work on ninja that don't have his unique powers. Even in the sequel series when Kawaki gets a prosthetic arm, it's actually stilled attuned to Naruto and requires Naruto kneading chakra into it for it to function properly. The novels also clarify that Guy can get out of his wheelchair if he really needs to, it just hurts. As for why his leg couldn't be healed, the easy answer is that the 8th gate's Night Guy simply did damage that cannot be fully healed.

*** In the end Sakura's love for Sasuke is characterized as a silly crush that matured into a unwavering devotion, much like Naruto's own (if perhaps for fewer reasons/experiences). She did learn about the real Sasuke during part 1 rather than the idealized version she saw at the beginning, and she did have a number of positive experiences with him that formed the basis of a deeper connection (a big one being Sasuke bothering to thank her for her feelings before he left). Yet, as Kakashi told Sasuke, one ultimately doesn't need a reason to love someone. Sakura decided to genuinely love him and keep loving him regardless of whether it was ever reciprocated. Whether we call that BS reasoning or not, it does certainly play into the idea and ideal of unconditional love.

*** It's eventually revealed that Naruto had realized Sasuke had "something" in him just as Naruto had one within himself that was motivating his behavior. The Sage of Six Paths reveals it was Indra's chakra reincarnated in Sasuke, the latest of many times it had done so. Naruto's instinct was thus right that killing Sasuke would not actually solve the issue long term, as Indra's chakra and hsi grudges would simply carry on to the next incarnation. Hence why he told the rest of the Konoha 11 when they staged that little intervention that he didn't believe Sasuke (or rather what was in Sasuke) could be stopped simply by fighting or killing him. We see in the end what it took was getting Sasuke to accept defeat and release the grudge between Indra and Ashura.

**** Once the first couple of people cheated, some genin probably *did* notice — and that's probably *why* so many more people started doing it too. If someone saw Gaara's sand eye or Tenten's mirrors, and asked themselves why those other ninja weren't getting kicked out despite being so obvious, they'd probably realize what the point of the exam was, and be less self-conscious about trying to cheat themselves. As for the ones who still didn't cheat despite all the blatant evidence surrounding them: this ties into Ibiki's comments about how genin who refuse to take risks don't deserve to be promoted. If you had so much proof right in front of you that something was fishy, but you *still* just kept your head down and did your test the futile normal way, then in Ibiki's mind, you absolutely deserved to fail.

*** Actually, that makes sense, except for the Naruto part in my opinion, if anything, when people have a bias involving Naruto they always treat him unfairly. Either way, that raises another question, didn't any genin taking the test noticed the others cheating? I don't quite remember.

** Could just be advertising; it is sort of fitting that Jiraiya would encourage rumours and speculation, especially if it would make his job easier. Plus, he's shown to have been like Naruto when he was younger e.g. naturally strong, but not good at learning, like [[Main/Manga/MahouSenseiNegima Negi's]] father being called 'The Thousand Master' when,"...it's more like 5 to 6 techniques,tops," but still strong enough to level a mountain.

** It's also possible that clever Uchiha could find ways to milk extra uses out of Izanagi. While Izangi presumably can't be used to reverse Izanagi-induced blindness, perhaps a strong enough Uchiha could, say, kill their sibling, rip their eyes out, and then use Izanagi to resurrect said sibling with their eyes still in their head. This would leave the user with more eyes than they started with. And it *has* to be possible for Izanagi to create new copies of Sharingan eyes, otherwise both of Tobi's eyes should have stayed destroyed when Konan blew him up, instead of just one going blind.

** Sakura was playing dumb. She didn't know why Sarada was asking, so she dodged the question to avoid having to discuss all the traumatic circumstances of Sasuke's Sharingan (since they did, after a fashion, deteriorate his eyes at one point). The issue was that she played it *too* nonsensically oblivious, which made the situation worse.

** Considering the sheer number of things Gaara can use his sand for, it's possible he just made one of his sand platforms for the three of them to fly on. That would probably save a lot of time, especially since they wouldn't tire out the way they would on foot, and Temari could probably use her Wind Style to help accelerate them further.

** Because they lied about that part. It wasn't about not getting caught, because the proctors, as chunin and jonin, were practically guaranteed to see through whatever the genin did. They just had to demonstrate that they could use an actual ninja technique to gather the information; all the students they failed were students who tried to cheat by mundane methods. Gaara's floating sand eye was blatantly obvious in the controlled setting of an exam room, but in an intel-gathering situation in the field, it would likely work. Same with Sasuke and the Hyuuga's eye techniques. So stuff like that got a pass. Sakura didn't use a technique, but since she also didn't cheat, they had no pretext under which to flunk her (and for all they knew, she could have stolen the answers somehow before the test even began.) Naruto not getting caught for talking to Hinata was probably luck + the proctors being generous.

** Developing the Tenseigan requires merging the Otsutsuki Byakugan with Hyuuga Byakugan. Kaguya couldn't do this because, well, the Hyuugas didn't exist yet when she was alive. Hamura also didn't actually have the Tenseigan in his eyes - all the references to "Hamura's Tenseigan" are talking about the gigantic vessel with all the clan members' eyes inside it, which Hamura helped originally create.

**** This is actually highly plausible as of the Gaara Hiden novel. The Kazekage's bloodline is apparently extremely important to Suna, to the point that the city council were concerned about Shikadai having a claim to the Sixth Kazekage title when he grew up simply for being Temari's son, yet they *still* don't identify it by any sort of clan name.

* During the written test, the guy with a scar on the face tells them that one purpose of the test is to see if they can get information without getting caught, so the better students were the ones who wouldn't get caught cheating, but everybody's "cheating skills" are terrible, Gaara so obviously using his sand, Akamaru talking to Kiba, but most importantly, Tenten using blatant obvious strings attached to a huge mirror on the ceiling, how doesn't anyone notice that? It would be better if they just cheated normally.

normally, Naruto talking to Hinata without raising suspicion is also hella strange, and to make it worse he was even on the line of vision of the ninja who caught someone cheating behind him, who was silent.

** At one point Hiden is shown laying down inside his circle after a battle, Kakuzu wants him to hurry it up, but Hiden says he needs to do the ritual to appease Jashin, so it seems that the Jutsu is a life sacrifice, he isn't fully immortal per se, but as long as he keeps killing he is immortal, WordOfGod said that he has saved up enough life that his body (what's left of it at least) will rot away before his immortality runs out, so it seems he is immortal in lifespan, but he needs to keep killing to heal up re-youth his body.

** The real reason is because they don't want any of the crazy snarls that would come from the Manga borrowing from the Anime or leaving out important characters from the Manga to make room for characters from the Anime. I can only imagine the head aches that would be caused by that as to what's cannon and what isn't and why.
