New Naruto Chapters Discussion *Manga Spoilers*

[regular Ski]

I think many people like Lee because his character is very similar to Naruto's.  Naruto never gives up, and will fight no matter what to acheive his goal.  Same thing goes for Lee, he will stop at nothing to prove he can be a nin wiht Taijutsu only.

I hope they develop his character more in 183, for two reasons.

One is I want to see the result of his surgery.  And 2, to bring sakura back in, because its obvious she will be the 5th's disciple, and will be key in Lee's surgery.

Does anyone agree with that?

[Akagami No Steven]

I can see it happening, but I just have a feeling Lee's surgery will be over before Sakura learns any major healing stuff.  Still, I can see it happening.

[regular Ski]

What I'd like to see happen is - a problem occurs during Lee's surgery, and through such concern for Lee - Sakura uses powers she never knew she had to help him.  THEN the 5th will start training her.

At least we are getting away from whiney Sasuke's storyline.

I never thought of Sakura becoming the 5ths deciple, but that would actually be kinda cool. The only way that I can think of her developing a new power would be if she was the heir to another bloodline and she just didn't know it.

Well, its pretty much accepted on everyone I've talked to's part that she will be the 5th's.  Here's why.

There is a picture drawn by the author that shows the three legendary senin's.  Orochimaru looks very cold and evil like Sasuke, Jiraiya looks like naruto, and the 5th is sticking her tounge out like Sakura.

Secondly, there is a picture of the three...naruto sasuke and sakura with each one summoning something.  Naruto a toad, sasuke a snake and sakura a slug.

Orochimaru summons snakes Jiraiya summons toads and the 5th summons snakes.

Naruto has already teamed up with Jiraiya and can summon, sasuke is going TO orochimaru. Therfore, at least in my opinion, its only a matter of time until sakura teams up with the 5th.

Well I just read chapter 183, and here are a few thoughts.

First off, Skikamaru is most def. the best choice for squad leader.  IF anyone doubted him, his ideas for the formation set up proved them all wrong.  That's genius after all.

Also, I've always been an advocate of the "sakura still has worth" club, but after this chapter, she seems like a whiney little girl in love with Sasuke.  Especially with the realization that Naruto really likes her, she still follows blindly after the man who knocked her out.

I really feel like she's getting worthless to the storyline now, and its frustrating.

However, the end, with the one "death", wow, can they leave you on anymore of a cliffhanger.

[Lucifer]

Chapter 183 was short but sweet. Heh, I didn't think Lee was still hanging around. This is the reason why Shikamaru is such a great leader. He doesn't mess around! Did anyone see that he used Shougi pieces to interperate the members of the team? I thought that was a nice touch. That, and the "nice guy" pose. I liked this chapter a lot!

So, any theories on what Sakon meant when he said Sasuke must "die" once? I'm kind of clueless. The only thing that I could think of is that The Four Sound Nin's are doing some kind of trust test on Sasuke. It's kind of puzzling, because I can't remember any reference to this in earlier stages of Naruto... so, anyone shed some light? :funkee

[regular Ski]

That's the thing, there was no earlier reference to dying once.

This has came totally out of the blue.

[KaKashi-SenSai]

sakura has to stop crying, thats all she does! She should get the rasengan in the freakin face! im tired of her whining. Oh, by the way, i think a couple chapters ago. Did rock lee agree on taking that surgery that can cure him?

[regular Ski]

Sakura does only cry now.  And its a shame because I really saw a lot of potential in her character.  But I guess her training under the 5th isn't important until Lee's surgery.

Which btw he did agree upon.  It was in the chapter where Gai told hm about testing yourself and the one he lost jangen to Kakashi in.

[KaKashi-SenSai]

what will Itachi do now, what the hell is he gonna do now? i mean, alot can happen, maybe itachi my come and kick the 4 sounds ninjas down to the ground. I mean alot can happen. Sakura might stop crying:eek :eek  What happened to gaara? he might show up too and be a good guy or sumthing.....i remember seeing gaara saying sorry to kankuro and temari........i kinda felt sorry for him.:evil

Well, I've pondered alot as to what Itachi will be doing.  Sadly, the whole few chapters with Itachi in them are rather sketchy in my memory, so forgive me if I am off.  But after his fight with Jiraiya and Naruto I think he's off licking his wounds.  As for what we wil see of him soon, the only thing I see as a possibility would be Itachi attacking Naruto while they track down sasuke.  However, despite the fact that there is only 1 chunin in the group, Itachi would have his hands full I think.

As for Gaara, I could see him helping out naruto in a pinch, but not becoming a good guy or a bad guy.  I see him actually fading out of the story for the moment.

I have no idea why, but that's like the funniest thing I've heard in like, ever.
:lol :lol :lol

[Sheldon]

Maybe they'll actually kill Sasuke and do us all a favor...or have Orochimaru use his forbidden jutsu thing to bring him back.

[Legato 2057]

I think that what they are doing is, putting him in a true life or death situation so that the only way for him to survive is to depend on the curse seal, by "Death" they mean just really fu.cked up.
