[Manga] Naruto (warning: spoilers up to current chapter)

[The Dauntless One]

No... if you take your brother's eye(s) you become an immortal (according to Itachi)

Danzou isn't Madara's Brother. It clearly shows a shot of Madara's brother missing both his eyes with blood running down from each socket in that issue.

I believe it was Itachi that was saying this story to Sasuke, which Madara could have easily lied to him about...

Dauntless: that could have been a lie that either Madara told Itachi, or just a bullshit lie Itachi said to Sasuke (remember he wanted Sasuke to believe that he wanted his eyes)

Like I said it's a long shot, but it isn't impossible

If it was, then it was in Madara's telling of the tale as well, as shown here.

[Soldaris]

I noticed how he claimed the 9 tails attack to be a natural disaster, even though the forth later said he say Tobi there to begin with. Then ofcourse Danzo had a hand in the discrimination of Uchiha that ultimately led to the plot to destroy the clan. Madara is pretty sly, but I wonder how connected Danzo really is in all this, and what is up with him and Orochimaru.

Furthermore, what is this jutsu that the frog staff Jiraiya had speaks of? Something about Minato wanting Naruto to finish it. Perhaps im just not putting all the pieces correctly together, but im sure someone else is more familiar with it all.

[Tramddark Luxdeorum]

The Jutsu the Staff likely speaks of is the Rasengan, since it was mentioned pretty early in the series that even the Fourth knew it was incomplete.

Other possibilities exist of course, like the Flying Thunder God instant teleportation Jutsu that the Fourth is famous for.

Its almost certain the scroll will appear again at some point to power up Naruto for the final battles of the series, so we'll find out then.

[Soldaris]

Sage, 9 tails, his natural and whatever Itachi sent in the black crow, i'd just like to see him sharpen what he already has and apply his current abilities more.

[Spawn]

While the Rasengan is definitely a high level ability, I'd really like him to expand to something else. Go back to some ultimate shadow clone training or something. He has all these abilities sitting in his bag of tricks and all we ever get to see is the Rasengan. I'd really hate it to wait till the final battle before pulling out new jutsu 001-005 and he's somehow managed to master all of them.

I'm a little biased I guess after watching the movie Bonds the other day, they went way way overboard with the SSJ9000 boss and the use of Rasengan x1000.

[Soldaris]

Agreed, aside from his Rasen Shuriken I have not seen him apply his nature chakra to anything else. Though hopefully that is something they alter in the anime, it would be nice to see a few new moves on his own pop up, aside from that one combination jutsu he did with the frogs. Considering he can use his clones to speed up learning Jutsu's its dumb that they havent had him use that method to learn other techniques.

[Lenas]

He also used nature chakra to power up his normal rasengans. However, one of the big pluses of the nature energy is the power-up Naruto got to his hand-to-hand fighting.

[Zarcath]

Shadow clones made out of rasengans. Expect it.

[Spawn]

I honestly forgot he even did the whole nature chakra training. Tells you how much we've seen it since.

He also used nature chakra to power up his normal rasengans. However, one of the big pluses of the nature energy is the power-up Naruto got to his hand-to-hand fighting.

While the rasengans around that time may have been, none of the ones I've seen lately even remotely look like the nature powered ones. Also his hand-to-hand hasn't improved at all from what I've seen. His ability to take an ass beating on the other hand has improved greatly.

The shuriken version of his Rasengan is pretty bs. Lets give Naruto an ability that can finally be on the level of Sasuke's Chidori craziness, but have such a debilitating effect that he can't ever use it again. Meanwhile, Sasuke can call lightning out of his ass whenever he pleases and doesn't leave a scratch.

He hasn't done any since then.

Do you even read the manga, dude? The entire last fight was only possible because of the nature chakra and sage mode. Naruto's hand to hand combat has increased dramatically and he even showed it off again, against the lightning ninja.

Now I'm really wondering if you have even read the manga. Remember Naruto throwing the Rasenshurikens at Pein? Yeah, that means he no longer self-inflicts damage, which means his move is just as OP as Sasuke's shit.

I hope Kabuto owns everyone at the end LOL

[Soldaris]

Doubtful, I wouldnt put it by Kabuto meeting with Danzo and letting Orochimaru take over his body. Then he could happily destroy Konoha from within, while keeping root under his thumb.

At any rate im pretty sure the days of seeing 1000 naruto clowns get face fucked is over. However it still seems hes quite naive, and I doubt he will ever get over the Sasuke complex and focus on banging Hinata. As it stands I am pretty amped to see him pit his abilities against other ninjas, and this upcoming hokage meeting will be pretty $$$ is naruto attends and an all out war breaks out.
