Thread: Chapter 397

Naruto Manga

So, Sasuke has auto-Amateratsu now? Anyway, this one was a fairly good chapter, in my opinion. I'd like to know Itachi's story.

There'll be no Naruto next week, by the way.

yay for keep the tention going...
boo for not really answer any real questions, haha.

so did itatchi transfer ALL his techniques or just amatarasu? b/c only 1 eye activated right?

btw, wut do u guys think toby was about to do when he was gona take off his mask? maybe a hypno technic? or mind control of some sort? seems the amatarasu stopped wutever he was about to do

Personally, I found this chapter very disappointing, so little happened and so little was said. I assume the big thrill was supposed to be Sasuke getting the Mangekyou, since so much emphasis was placed on it but it just came off as random to me. Nothing really new was explained about Itachi, except the general points that he Sasuke his eye techniques and was acting to protect him. Madara's identity still remains masked, it was basically a lot of shots with Sasuke and Madara that seemed rather pointless. The content here could have easily been covered effectively in half a chapter. I can only assume that the main secrets are being kept so that people will stay interested. This story could turn out to be quite interesting but honestly right now I am finding it rather uninspired. I figured Itachi's motives were more complex and that he had good intentions, at least to a point. Although, I just hope Kishimoto doesn't push this concept to an unbelievable extreme.

Ugh... Sasuke loses CS2 and Orochimaru healing but gets Amaterasu Tsukiyomi and Susanoo... go figure.

Yeah your right "Somehow at the last second, he transfered ALL his eye techniques into YOU" was Madara's own words.

And for me this is REALLY a good chapter, coz it reveals that Itachi is not that EVIL as ALL have think(based on Madara, it might be a ploy though). So this chapter reveals that Itachi is Anti-Hero. ;p

So two BIG revelation here:
1. MS are now w/ Sasuke
2. Itachi is Anti-Hero.

Edit: Unscratched leaf symbol of Itachi's head protector at last page shows proof that he is an Anti-Hero. He might have done EVIL things but w/ a purpose. ;p

so the poke was a transfer jutsu of some sorts. i wonder though if each time the MS gets activated or used, if Sasuke's eye sight would degrade or if they are eternal MS already.

and if i dint read the scans in onemanga myself, i might have thought this was just a fake spoiler or something. It seems too much to play into what fans hoped for. Itachi being a good guy and a good brother, Sasuke getting the MS.

Sasuke's eye bled when he used Amateratsu; so, I assume, his is the regular MS.

one of the worst chapter so far ¬_¬
okay, we KNEW there was some reason for itachi's actions but... oh come on..

"[itachi] the man who risked everything to protect the shibobi world.. the leaf village.. and most of all, his little brother."

great.. itachi's a martyr now... wtf thats the worst possible outcome
i had hoped for some interesting ulterior motive.. and not something as clichéd as THAT
i can't help to think of it as fanservice - which is just disappointing

and... wow kishi must be reaally into sasuke...
i didn't know a forehead poke was able to transfer jutsu..
now.. THATS a shocking revelation
and i totally hate it
that was another totally uncreative twist..
god kishi you're spoiling sasuke ¬_¬

Sion4ever's post said exactly what I came here to say. These "twists" are a load of crap. How will Kishimoto explain this AND make all the bad things Itachi did in the past make sense?

Ok let me make sure i have an accurate grasp of all of Sasuke's abilities includeing those now lost.

sharingan that can track all movement, capable of makeing and breaking any genjutsu, hypnotic sight strong enough to subdue even manda, able to overwealm people in thier own mental realms with sinister chakra, chidori power that can be driven through fist wise, channeled through his body or through the ground, thrown in the form of needles, shot out like an extending sword and spliting into ten blades, a variety of fire jutsu even capable of punching through concrete, able to form snakes from any part of his body including summoning manda, incredible speed supplimented by goken training, lee's fighting moves with the possibility of opening the first gate, a cursed seal that gives him 10 times his normal chakra with little to no draw back inculidng partial transformations and hand wings used for defense and limited flight, orochimaru healing factor that likely rivals normal kyubi healing, oro regeneration replacement jutsu, releasing oro for the 8 headed snake jutsu, a kusanagi sword that can be enchanced with with lightning, itachi's MS, the most powerful genjutsu in history, amerteratsu, an absollute defense in susanoo and the ultimate sealing sword , controling lightning itself for the unavoidable kirin, keeping shuriken sealed in his wrists and charging them with chidori and keeping a load of scroll sealed exploding tags as last ditch effort. and frankly i would'nt be surprised if he went back and picked up oro's now discarded kusanagi sword.

Do let me know if i left anything out.
