Naruto Chapter 413

[Rasengan]

an ox with 8 octopus tentacles for tails, cant say i expected that
possible some japanese mythical beast who knows
lol his sharingan lost
i like how sasukes chest got completely ripped out

[Sorien]

Yeah man. That surprised me. An Ox. WTF?

I also like how Sasuke got owned, and even his giga-sharingan got pwnt too. Lookin' good for this guy, lookin' real good. I really hope he owns their faces. Hmm. There was a little bit about his brother in there (I haven't seen someone deflect number 8 since my brother) or something like that. Wonder what he's referring to there, i.e. Who the brother is.

I think the excuse for the genjutsu not working is a bit lame, to be honest.

"I need a partner... duh um, my tailed beast makes me completely invulnerable to all forms of genjutsu!"

WTF sort of lame story is that? I mean, sure to cancel out/nullify genjutsu is okay... but you'd think it has to do more with the degree of skill of the user, and not because "Oh btw I'm a Jinchuuriki." Sasuke actually overcoming Itachi's Tsukiyomi > "Jinchuuriki free god mode LOLZ"

A better/different explanation would be much appreciated. lol.

It was kinda cool to see Sasuke's chest ripped out, as previously said. No-one ever suffers anything really life-threatening in this series. There's something cool about it being a particularly gruesome injury that gives it that power we haven't really seen before.

But still. I'd say the battle never really looked good for this guy. In fact, technically the series sets up Sasuke even more as being one of the few who managed to take down a tailed beast - we know he has to come out on top. Given that it has eight tails, that puts it not far off Kyuubi strength too.

Alternatively, if Tobi comes in and saves the day with a killer jutsu that removes Hachibi's ancestors from existence... that's fine by me too. It'd be good to see Madara flex his muscles a bit. XD

[Sorien]

lol. Never actually thought of Madara jumping in there before actually. But that's kinda possible isn't it? You're right about the injuries too. Just thinking back on the series, there's never really been any gore (the worst I can think of, is perhaps the Third and/or Neji vs Spider guy). It's pleasing...in a sadistic kinda way XD

Edit: Something else that popped up before, which could lead to other revelations, is: Exactly what does 'Akatsuki' (i.e. Who exactly? Kisame, Madara and Pain...and Konan...if she's Akatsuki) want with the Jinchuuriki? We've had the whole '6 paths of pain thing'. There are (supposedly) 9 Jinchuuriki...maybe there are more bodies Pain uses...maybe he wants to instill one beast per body? That's takin' it a bit far. I remember an episode a long time ago, with Pain talking about using it for 'world domination' and some super-giga weapon. That was rather vague...

im looking forward to seeing zetsu fight
prolly not that great just good at stealthing tho

If I recall rightly, it had something to do with the Bijuu being the most powerful weapons of the Naruto universe and, with these weapons under their control, Akatsuki can start and quell wars as they please.

What each person personally wants to use the Bijuu for, of course, is different. Tobi/Madara probably wants to rule the world, whereas Pain has his giant "it looks better broken so I breaks it and saves the wurld LOLZ". It's more the how that's the big question, which I guess is what you mean.

You know... we've seen Sasuke use Amaterasu (involuntarily) and Tsukiyomi (of his own will). I wonder if he has access to Susanoo - which seems highly likely too. While I wouldn't think he has access to Susanoo's full power (the Sword of Totsuka and the Mirror of Yata)... I dunno, maybe he might. :-\ I wouldn't be surprised if Sasuke has even learned to use Amaterasu properly too. That jutsu gives me the heebie-jeebies.

Come on, Super-Tobi! Blow a hole in the universe!
