Thread: Naruto Chp 457 Discussion/458 Predictions

you got it wrong..they did actually point out which one is kakashi..on their stand, naruto on the middle, kakashi right, yamato left..and kakashi pretty well known compared to yamato who should be always cover his face with ANBU mask before tsunade ask to take it off..

As Witcher said, there is no basis for believing that killing Sasuke would instigate a war between cloud and the leaf, because Sasuke has already severed his allegiance to konoha, he's a missing nin. The only person who would be a danger of starting a revenge war would be Naruto himself if he tried to seek revenge on the cloud for Sasuke's death, which is preposterous.

I'm puzzled as to why Kakashi and Yamato are backing him up on this. It's stupid. They should realize that it's perfectly reasonable for Sasuke to be punished for his own misdeeds and it has nothing to do with them. As konoha ninjas they should in fact be helping to kill Sasuke, since it's up to the village to deal with their own missing nins and prevent them from doing unwanted damage which could unsettle inter-village relationships.

I know Kishimoto is trying to start Naruto's newfound peace mission, but the context of it is completely flawed. The panel I hate the most is the mid-left one on page 10. "I don't want konoha and kumo to be killing each other!" Where is the basis of that assumption? It's ridiculous. Naruto's supposed to be dealing with existing tensions between the main villages, and the ones such as rain who get caught in the crossfire, not some ridiculous one that he himself is the only danger of starting. The way Jiraiyas book does it, is for the protagonist to make friends with the enemy and to forget about revenge. In which case, Naruto should let Sasuke die and then shake hands with the person who killed him.

Also, like others have said, I find it lame that Naruto's backing up Sasuke in this way. I understand that he made a promise to bring Sasuke back, but that doesn't mean that he should be taking a beating and apologising for Sasuke's actions.. Ugh. Basically, I didn't like this chapter, in my opinion its just another example of kishi's recent bad writing.

The Raikage on the other hand was talking about showing actons and strength, no compromise between ninjas and wars over ninja techinques. Well it doesn't matter he's gonna get what he wants a war will come.

Basically, I thought he was just balling, like after the time skip when kakashi said Sasuke's name and Saukra and Naruto just burst out into tears. I do like the Raikage's stern attitude, and what he said I am going to kill Sasuke it is up to you to make sure nothing goes beyond that. I also was surprised because from the spoilers it made it seem like Naruto was just concerened with Sasuke's well being, when in fact he doesn't want to cause a war.

so not only does Naruto prostate in front of Raikage and whine ....he still likes Sakura even after Hinata's suicidal confession....he's worse than a retard--> does this make Hinata cannon-fodder again ?

Just because Hinata loves him doesn't mean he needs to feel the same way, he has always liked Sakura from the start so it would be odd for him to just get rid of those feelings because someone just said I love you.

The kow towing..

but the Raikage has a point.

There'll only be a war between Konoha and Kumo if the Leaf stands up for Sasuke, which it has no reason to apart from Naruto.

naruto answer should be: he take off his konoha's nin symbol (the forhead thingy) and then say... "i will stop you but i'll be no longer part of konoha..."
cuz somehow (for me) it look like the raikage give naruto a hint to do exactly that and yes he is wise on his own way.. i mean he is the one who order the kage meetng in the first place right

stop puting a space in the middle of kowtow, you make the line become towing a kow....... and remember kid even though naruto put both hand at the sametime, the right way to do it is to put your right hand first (or was it the left??? it's definitely one hand first)

If you look closely at the background, the buildings are still intact, and Konoha doesn't look like a crater. They don't have tents. http://www.onemanga.com/Naruto/457/11/

This scene is definitely before the Pain arc and before Hinata's confession.

I wanna see what these Samurai are capable of. They must be decently strong to still contend as a neutral nation and not have any shinobi. So Sasuke snuck in huh? Maybe Naruto will do the same and they both bump into each other in the vents and start talking about love. IDK.
Wouldn't it be perfect if it's shown that Sai hasn't really changed and instead of the "friendship" emotion he likes he prefers being an asshole. So he tries to get Sakura with him and tell her that Naruto is in love with reverse Albino bitches.(Hinata)
