History WMG / NarutoOpenThree

While we've seen flashbacks of Anko's other two teammates at this point, we've never seen them more than maybe twice. I was wondering why we never saw them much, then I started wondering how Anko learned the forbidden jutsu she tried to use to kill Orochimaru in the Forest of Death during the Chuunin exams... This may belong under Silly Theories, but it doesn't seem out of character that Orochimaru deemed the other two students useless, then tricked them into performing the Twin Snakes Murder-Suicide Jutsu so Anko could learn it since she was the only one with potential.

As shown by the most recent chapter Madara used Izanagi and went blind in one eye so the Rinnegan must have been blind as well which explains why Nagato has PeekABangs. The blind Rinnegan can give it's power yet can't see at all. In all likelyhood it was the blind eye that Obito took.

[[WMG: Hinata-Naruto-Sakura and Naruto-Sakura-Sasuke are now both [[TriangRelations Type 7 love triangles.]]]]

[[WMG: The Mizukage is not actually a ChristmasCake or VainSorceress.]]

She already has the world's most bizarre justification to be wearing [[HotScientist a lab coat]], why not expect a similar reason for her to always be wearing [[ZettaiRyouiki stockings]]?

* In fact, [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shinigami The description of Shinigami]] in Wiki/TheOtherWiki throws up something very interesting. "...In the Ehon Hyaku Monogatari from Tenpō 12 (1841), there was a story titled "Shinigami," but in this one, the shinigami was the spirit of a deceased one and had bad intent, and acting in jointly with the malicious intent already within people who were living, those people were led on bad paths, which caused repeat incidents to occur at places where there was previously a murder incident, for example by causing the same suicide at places where people have hung themselves before,[14] and thus these shinigami are somewhat like a possession that would cause people to want to die..." and "..in the kabuki Mekuranagaya Umega Kagatobi by Kawatake Mokuami in Meiji 19 (1886), a shinigami enters into people's thoughts, making them think about bad things they have done and want to die..." Now replace suicide with revenge and this sounds ''eerily similar to how the curse of hatred works'' . What if Kaguya's spirit became the Shinigami after she died - unable to truly die and move on as punishment for eating the forbidden Chakra fruit -- or perhaps on purpose as part of her plan to revive herself and attain immortality ? Perhaps this is also the reason for the massive GenerationXerox that has been happening among Indra's and Asura's reincarnations too.

[[WMG: Karin will become a love interest for Naruto, and then it'll be revealed [[IncestIsRelative that she and Naruto are related.]]]]

* Then again, this is Japan we're talking about. Their views on [[IncestisRelative incest]] somewhat differ from ours.

* Sasuke wants to unite the ninja world ''a la'' the first Emperor of China, or at least the one depicted in ''Film/{{Hero}}'': if the five ninja countries are united they won't fight and won't cause another ninja war.

[[WMG: Sasuke is {{Asexual}}.]]

* Because as Oda once said, this is a boys comic. If you want romance, don't read comics for guys.

The hypothesis is that eventually, Kabuto will break out of Izanami, after executing an emotional HeelFaceTurn and come to his senses, but not in time to help Naruto and the army fight off the BigBad, the BiggerBad, and ThePlan. Bonus points if Kabuto's salvation occurs as the absolute last event in the Naruto canon.

Now it looks like Madara has set Kaguya free by casting the Tsukuyomi on to the moon (hence her slasher smile face looking over the world), and given the trend we have seen so far, the BiggerBad will soon dispose of Madara now that his purpose is served. LaserGuidedKarma.

[[WMG: Mitsuki was artificially created by Orochimaru with his DNA.]]
Considering that the idea of Orochimaru doing the deed with anyone is pretty much instant NoYay this is the most likely conclusion. It would make sense considering Orochimaru's fondness for experimentation and Mitsuki giving [[MathematiciansAnswer a yes answer to whether he was his mother of father.]]

[[WMG: Even if Sasuke pulls a proper HeelFaceTurn and survives, he will end up in a BedlamHouse very much like [[WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender Azula]]]]

* Jossed: [[spoiler:While he ''does'' pull a proper HeelFaceTurn after Naruto beats him, he's acquitted of his crimes and ends up WalkingTheEarth to atone.]]

[[WMG: The anime will resolve the shipping issues, while the manga will leave the matter open-ended.]]
This would allow Kishimoto to avoid the FanDumb and [[DieForOurShip hate mail]] over cannonizing one pairing at the expense of another, while still being able to please half the fans. The winners get to see their ship in official material, and the rest of the fans can write it off as filler and direct the blame at the animators. [[XanatosGambit Either way, Kishimoto avoids blame, and he can even pass it off as hyping the finale by saying that the anime will resolve the romantic subplots.]]

*** The thing is, all of these are so laughably [[KickTheDog puppy kickingly evil]] that it's impossible to take the seriously. Sasuke is messed up in the head. He's not a tragic figure, or an evil figure, or even a sick puppy. He's turned into a flanderized version of himself. It's not a 'Fallen/Redeemed Hero' Paradigm anymore. He's just manipulation-bait. Even if Naruto manages to flip him again, it'll really just be more 'Sasuke gets manipulated to do things, just by the goodguys this time'. I'm sure he'll end up a minion for whoever replaces Madara as the evil figure in the inevitable continuation. And then by the next BigBad. And the next. He's the [[SonicTheHedgehog Knuckles]] of Naruto.

** [[CaptainObvious Gee, really?]]

* Seeing how unpredictability is how Naruto wins ''all'' his fights, and seeing how deceiving the opponent is the number one method for winning in Shinobi vs Non-{{Mook}} Shinobi fights (The Mooks are just overpowered and owned, splat, but not to the degree [[OnePiece Luffy]] does it), you're probably right. Not sure this qualifies as a theory, though.

* No no no! It'll be a ''mentor''! I mean, creepy face thing? Definite [[MightyMorphinPowerRangers mentor qualifications]]. All it needs is, quote unquote, "five teenagers with attitude" and... They'll be Sentai!

[[WMG: Karin's about to have her CrowningMomentOfAwesome.]]

RoolOfCool and TheLawOfConservationOfDetail dictate that you don't introduce a [[ChekhovsGun kamikaze technique]] without it being used, and we still haven't seen the Eighth Gate or the Twin Snakes technique. With so many enemies to fight, it's natural that Naruto's friends are going to take out several of them to clear a path to fight Madara and Sasuke. Some of the Konoha ninja are going to die (mostly the old gaurd, but I wouldn't be surprised if Neji and/or Sakura died, too). Either Neji or Hinata will do something [[CrowningMomentOfAwesome awesome]] with an upgraded Byakugan (probably negates all genjutsu within functional radius). Sasuke will go blind, and probably die.

* Will the giant worm be [[GearsOfWar sinking cities]]?

Rock Lee is likely very protective of Naruto and Hinata, whom Neji gave his life to protect, and both have been defeated by the duo. In his anger, Lee opened the seventh gate and gave them both a severe smackdown; they managed to retreat and were able to recover, but have been weakened by Lee's assault.

I was wondering what people thought of a theory I had that Naruto is Sāra's daughter's father. I was thinking that before they left back to there time, Naruto and Sāra were intimate and with the memory seal, he was made to forget and that is why he had such fond "dream" about her. Even giving his chakra blade as a "remember me" present, and it was passed down to their daughter. It might even explain why her daughter as lighter shade of red than her mother.

Multiple pieces of evidence imply that Hinata is pregnant with Boruto in Sasuke Shiden. First we know that The Last took place about 13 before the Boruto movie, when he is 12. This would mean that Boruto is conceived less than a year after The Last. And given the timing of Konoha Hiden just several months after the movie, it would not be unreasonable to think that Boruto was conceived shortly after the wedding. In addition, Hinata nearly faints in both the novel and anime version of Sasuke Shinden, and Naruto has to help support her. This is just after she [[spoiler:knocks out a handful of exploding humans.]] Given that she does a lot more without fainting in the Fourth Shinobi World War, something would have to weaken her for her to be unable to avoid falling over. Perhaps a two to four month old fetus, which would noticeably drain the mother's strength, yet still fail to produce a baby bump. We do know that Shinden takes place several months after Konoha Hiden, so this all would add up.
