Am I the only one fearing that the hint given by grandpa toad will result in yet another Kage Bunshin to enter sage mode?

Fuck it. Will Naruto ever be able to do anything without a Kage Bunshin? If he, at least, used the technique well and with strategy, it would be good, but this is fucking ridiculous.

 

I'm going to repeat what I read on another forum.

Basically, the fact that Pain got blindsided by KB + Rasengan here is actually a great thing.

Why?

Because chances are damn good it won't be happening again.

When Naruto finally goes up against Pain, Pain won't be falling for the same trick again. He's already seen Rasengan twice from two different people and has been informed by Madara that Naruto possesses the most powerful incarnation of the jutsu (after his training ends, of course - for now we don't know if FRS is stronger than Jiraiya's Ultimate Rasengan).

I'm not saying that Rasengan won't play a part in their later fight, but it would be poor writing even for Kishimoto to use this trick yet again.

 

...He'll use it again. Do you honestly think Pain or Madara will be beaten by some other technique? Naruto will come close to dying, but he'll surprise them with a Kyuubi Chakra + Ultimate Rasaengan. Rasengan is like Kamehameha, there's no way the final "bad guys" won't be defeated by his signature move, and it'll be a surprise too, simply because Rasengan is such a useless move it has to be used by surprise. I mean, honestly. A melee-ranged skill that takes a few seconds to set up? The best use for it was against Kabuto back in Part 1. Ever since then, Naruto has had to get close to someone to use it, meaning he has had to trick them or occupy them. I can't imagine any other outcome for Naruto vs anyone important.

 

If he uses it like Jiraiya did when he fought Pain then it'll be better than a blindside attack.

I'm more interested in the new Ultimate Air Slicer that Naruto has been working on.

And remember that Madara already ate one in the back - to no effect. Naruto is going to have to come back from this with much more than he currently has, but I have high hopes.

 

Are you guys seriously forgetting that naruto destroyed half a dozen mountains with his rasangan?! Which was a combination of wind chakra, nature chakra and ninja chakra. And this was before he is doing the "impossible" training to gather the nature chakra without grandpa stuck to his shoulder.

And i highly doubt that Pein could absorb something that powerful. Everything has a limit and surely the kind of technique naruto would use would be too much for even pein to handle.

 

Oh, so that was confirmed as a Rasengan? And here I thought they never mentioned what he used.

 

@ Rehio: Yes it wasn't mentioned but the assumption is that the technique is the ultimate combo of nature and spatial recomposition that Minato wanted to achieve. But whatever it was it had to be an ultimate blitzkrieg move, Rasengan variant or not. It bloody chopped a couple mountains in half - mountains. When I saw that image the first time, I thought Kishimoto had fucked up and drawn it wrong or something.

 

lol same here. I compared those mountains to them small trees near it just to confirm what i exactly saw was real or just bullshit. And i can't wait till he shows it in action.

 

They're not mountains, first off.

They're large, strange plants native to Myoubokuzan. Not mountain sized though.

Second, there's a good chance that what he's working on isn't the completed Fuuton: Rasengan since he thinks he needs to work on it in secret.

We really don't know what it is, aside from that it's incredibly powerful and long ranged.

 

lol then what would you call them? It's pretty obvious there mountains and there is nothing there explaining otherwise.

 

Hi.

Reading is good.

 

I believe that was Oujou's way of saying "where do you get your information?", as opposed to, literally, "what would you call them."

 

Hmmm, I suppose assuming that those were mountains was somewhat idiotic on my part now that I think about it...

But...whatever they are, you can't deny that the technique is a real shocker - to its opponents I mean. Just imagine, here is Pain sitting inside his big cave/lab and he's just sent out the puppets with the receivers to fight, when there a loud screech and suddenly the cave collapses on his head.

And if I were to be completely honest I don't really care if it is Futon:Rasengan or his "that jutsu" or something else. It is a damn cool attack, obviously ranged and one that Naruto really needs in his arsenal.

 

Early spoilers indicate;

Spoiler

Timetravel being canon

I had a serious wtf moment.

 

You saw the new spoilers and thought that

Spoiler

Time Travel

was a big deal?

I'm actually still not sure about whether that's what's going on or if it's a translation flub. I'm thinking it's a mistake.


What about:

Spoiler

Pain setting off a nuke in downtown Konoha?

Oh, also:

Spoiler

Konan confirms that Pain is Nagato.

 

Pain's a fucking beast. He just obliterated Konoha o.o

Epic. Certainly an interesting turn of events.

 

Yes, yes because everyone and their aunt can't do it right now.

Naruto can do it, admittedly without going self destruct. A couple of well placed Rasenshuriken and Konoha could very well be screwed. Sasuke can do it with that big lightning bolt. Madara had Kyuubi that was running cicles around Konoha shinobi. Deidara would have been able to do it too. Whether it is C4 to quitly kill people off, or self destruct.

Spoiler

Timetravel has not been done. And I can't see how it can be done either.

 

Just cause you can't see it happening doesn't mean it won't.

 

Like I said before, I'm pretty sure that it was a mistranslation.

Can you imagine how introducing something as stupid as that would mess up the story?

Naruto needs to get back to Konoha in time and

Spoiler

Shima is apparently near Konoha and will be reverse summoning him.

 

Timetravel was a mistranslation. Naruto was getting summoned. Not timetravel. >_>
