KN4 is arguably just as strong as fully released Hachibi.

KN6 is the most powerful being so far showcased in this manga.

It's been implied that the Kyuubi is as strong as the other eight bijuu combined.

Having said that though, I do think that Pain will be able to fight KN6 to at least some extent.

 

I don't think it has anything to do with "power" -- Pain just has so many tricks up his sleeve, he's virtually immortal. Pure power perhaps doesn't threaten him? The Kyuubi will need to be smart and coordinated to defeat him.

As for you guys bashing Hinata... for once I thought she was cool this chapter, even if Kishimoto really ruined everything with that

Spoiler

LOL I LOVE YOU

declaration. It'd be great if she became a more fleshed out character, even if I know everything will continue as it has been.

 

Having actually read the chapter now, I agree with what Chime?? said. Hinata is actually pretty cool in it, completely farking useless but still cool.

Six-tailed Naruto is I assume under the Kyuubi's control, as the four-tailed state results in the suppression of his consciousness by the Kyuubi's rage/anger/hate/emo. Beyond that I would hypothesise that Kyuubi gains control otherwise Naruto is fucked.

6tN vs Pein (God realm) has the result that Naruto gets pwnt. All Pein has to do is avoid/block attacks until Naruto can no longer sustain the six tailed state. His telekinesis makes this a much easier task than Orochimaru faced.

Of course the six tailed state could release some uber, super-saiyan, ultimate, nuclear missile, desperation technique which would destroy God realm. We'll probably get to see it but Pein will not get hit by it.

 

I get the feeling we are going to see some kind of Rin'nigan ability soon. It's probably going to turn out to be some hax like Jinchuuriki suppression.

 

I'm disappointed I wanted to see if Hinata grew some tits before she got 1-shotted all well. All in all this chapter wasn't that bad God Realm proved he is motherfucker bad ass. You don't just pwn both Jiraiya, Kakashi, Pa, Ma, and Hinata with just one move.:awesome

 

Does his telekinesis work against pure chakra though? I would assume no, since he always used the other Pein to absorb attacks. I don't think Naruto will get "pwnt", but he obviously won't win. They are going to find Nagato - and by they I mean Team Gai - and Pein and Nagato and Konan will have to retreat.

 

It's not really telekinesis. Shinra Tensei is God Realm's ability to manipulate gravity, and although it doesn't make sense, it seems to be able to deflect chakra based attacks. God Realm demonstrated this when he deflected a rasenshuriken right before Naruto killed Naraka Path.

EDIT: Incidentally, what happens to the slug hiding in Naruto's pocket?

 

Gai will arrive and upon finding all the dead, including his eternal rival, he finally snaps and goes super saiyan(open all the gates) and wtfpwns Pain, Sasuke, Madara and several dozen other super villians who have yet to make a move while shouting about youth.


Seriously.

 

That sounds like a good idea to me *grin*
It would be shoking and original, that's for sure.

 

That actually sounds plausible. After Pein fights Naruto to a standstill and the Kyuubi chakra recedes, Gai shows up and goes apeshit on Pein.

 

You, my good man, are just amazing. Related to Trelawney by any chance?

 

She sure died pretty fast 3 pages. Mostly dialog.

 

I have to admit, I'm kinda disappointed yet vindicated by this chapter. I mean, I really, really wanted to see someone try to interfere and wtf?PWN Pein's ass in a backstabbing kind of way, and I was very pleasantly surprised with how it turned out (more or less who- I would have never pegged Hinata going for something like this, I was picturing Random ANBU # 15, or one of the jounin like Neji/Gai).

Personally, I never really liked Hinata, but thought that Kishi would develop her before sacrificing her like he did with Jiraiya, or the future-sacrifice-that-is-Iruka.

Oh, question from a neutral standpoint: Are those Naruto's bones that have been warped and shed, basically becoming an exoskeleton, or are those a second, hollow-like set of bones forming a new skeleton for the kyuubi? I honestly can't tell, but if those are naruto's bones... he might have very, very serious issues once he release the state-assuming that he's still alive, I doubt very much the fox will want to give up on his power, and keeping the skeletal system from healing might lend him that much more freedom.

 

Considering how Naruto's body isn't just flopping about madly I'd expect the bones to be separate to his own, probably formed from chakra and the blood that Naruto sweats out.

I'm kinda wondering whether Naruto would be able to form a full-fledged Kyuubi body despite not having nearly enough matter in him to do so. Even with the super-regeneration it would take a hell of a lot of time to reach the size of the Kyuubi.

 

Spoiler

Hinata survives.

Fuck you Kishimoto. Cliché though it might sound. You never deserved it more. D:

 

You can't honestly say you didn't see that coming. You just can't.

 

I saw it, but held out some degree of hope that Kishimoto would, for once, surprise me and do something epic. Disappointed as usual.

 

Whoever said that Hinata would mess up Pein's chakra pathway gets half a cookie. It is only half because it is 50/50 that she did something and there is only one thing she can do.

 

Yup. Not dead. Figures.

On the other hand, KN6 is getting much more action than expected. I was expecting it to get sealed up pretty fast. It withstood and countered Pain's attack, too! Are we going to see CrippleNagato fight?

So let's see - one was pushing, one was pulling. I put my money on the fact that the secret technique combines the two somehow. Either a black-hole type of effect, compressing it, or blowing it apart into tiny pieces.
