Thread: Chapter 373

Regarding the earlier discussion about a sixth element...

1. earth
2. wind
3. fire
4. water
5. lightning
6. wood?

Sure, we've only seen it used by Yamato and the First but it could be possible for certain others to use it.

you are kidding.. right?


oh god please be joking


wood is a combination of earth and water.

kakashi explained it in the manga prior to naruto's training.


but i know you're joking.








you've got to be.

Theres always shadow, but thats hardly an element. Still if you think about the 5 major kages there is mizu (water), ho (fire), rai (lightning), kaze (wind), tsuchi (earth), then the thing that connects them is the Kage (shadow), so if there is a 6th element Im guessing that its shadow.

6 paths eh... maybe there are 6 paths of chakra or six ways of buddishm or sumthing im not soure chakra though or the sixth sense.

i just love how you make so quickly a new theory about something little xD

nevermind. Thanks for showing me what kind of prat I sounded like. Also, I think I was wrong about it being 6.

Nice! now you got a dibs on something on the level of Tengu theory!

It was a good chapter, it showed a lot more. And it gave us more points to the next chapter.

Er, sorry. I'm not making a theory there, actually. I was trying to make one before, but found out there was too much coincidence in that

just because it refers to the six paths doesn't mean it represents 6 elements. Face it, there are only 5, unless the 6th is an undiscovered one.

I don't know WHAT the Rinnegan does, but I hope it's not Sharingan+Byakugan+Optical illusion thingy(I.E. YOU ARE GETTING SLEEEEPY...)

Jiraiya better take out at least one of them if he dies or I'll be REALLY disappointed...
