    Going by that logic, valcerou, it's also canon that you can be disqualified from the Chunin Exams for being too strong. Since, y'know, Naruto got booted for using Sage Mode in the anime exams and the manga never stated otherwise.

    And yes. That's a thing that actually happened. Let that sink in.

    What? I don't even..how would that even work? I assume the Gennin in question would have to be tested personally or something?

    You are right this Suna Chuunin Exam can't be considered canon. But I'm only talking about anime facts that are not contradicting to manga and unless they aren't - they should be considered canon.

    Nope, Wise. During the exams, which were hosted in Suna, senjutsu was banned because Gaara thought it would be an unfair advantage for Naruto. An unfair advantage. In the ninja exams meant to test your strength. Think about that.

    But that doesn't contradict the manga, volcerou. There's nothing in the manga that says the Kazekage can't impose such a restriction on his own exams. It's perfectly within the boundaries of canon.

    It's just retarded.

    If animators consulted Kishimoto and his crew then it shouldn't contradict the manga in the first place. Personally, I haven't come across anything to suggest that the animators verify everything they do with Kishi and instead I've seen more things that imply the opposite and that the mangaka's involvement is a rare thing. Anime just feels like another kind of fanfiction to me.

    This Suna Chuunin Exam Arc was presented to public as 'Non-canon ninth Naruto OVA'. Even it's production name says that it isn't Canon.

    I meant in general.

    Edit:
    Besides, do you really want to trust the guys responsible for all of this? ;)

    Hey! That was awesome part of anime! :)

    Anyway, I think we should stop this pointless discussion and just wait until Kishimoto release new chapter of his manga where Juubito will foolishly battle whole world instead of just casting Tsukiyomi on the moon to finally win the war.

    I don't think he can cast it. Keep in mind, he only has a tiny, tiny sliver of both the Eight and the Nine Tails. These two have many times more chakra than the rest of the bijuu.
    Obito is not really the Ten Tails Jinchuuriki.

    I'd say he pretty much is. The Juubi has been evolving since it first appeared. I believe the only reason it was revived in such a weak state in the first place is because it only had a small portion of the Hachibi and Kyuubi. Since then it's been gathering chakra and progressing to its true form. After all we've seen from Kyuubi and Hachibi that they can make more chakra when they need to. Though your point may stand if the Juubi hasn't reached its true form yet.

    Obito is as much the Juubi Jinchuuriki as Ginkaku and Kinkaku (or whatever their names are) are Kyuubi Jinchuuriki. They can use the form and some of the abilities, but they are not true Jinchuuriki.

    I believe so too. Because Juubi should have ability to generate chakra like any other bijuu. Or was it absorbing natural energy? I think Kurama said something like that to Naruto.

    And why is that if my theory is correct? Like Obito said having entire Hachibi and Kyuubi would have been ideal(as the Juubi would have immediately been at full power) it was not necessary as the Juubi would naturally build chakra until it was at full power anyway. In the end Obito would still have the full powered Juubi.

    A tiny part of a Bijuu's chakra is not enough to grow another one. You're pulling the theory out of your ass.
    Considering it's Kishimoto, you has fair chances of being right, I grant you that.

    If I have a fair chance of being right then I'm not exactly pulling it out of my ass then am I? That a tiny part isn't enough is your opinion of how things should work. It was stated that only a part of their chakra was needed. The Juubi has been getting stronger since it's been revived. It was stated that it was one transformation away from its original form.

    I wonder if someone seal all these small monsters that juubi made from his flesh and chakra would they all one day grow as powerful as original?

    If you're right, then every single thing or person that has ever been infused with Bijuu chakra should eventually transform into a copy of that same Bijuu. This has never happened, nor does it make sense that it would. The fact that it makes zero sense doesn't necessarily mean that Kishimoto won't use it, mind you, it only means that it's retarded as a theory.
    The first page you linked doesn't support your theory in the slightest. I'd say it's the opposite. The second does lend it some credence, but it's so vague it could mean anything.

    Aaaaand that about wraps up this discussion. Let's just wait and see.

    The theory implies nothing of the sort. The Juubi has a mind and so can actively generate more chakra for itself like the Kyuubi and Hachibi have been doing. Random bits of bijuu chakra would not have that capability. The first page shows Obito stating that the point of capturing the Hachibi and Kyuubi was so that the Juubi would be revived at full power but it isn't strictly necessary. The second page shows even if it wasn't revived at full power it's regaining full power by itself.
