Naruto Manga Discussion *SPOILERS*

[+K. Reiko-chan+]

hmm. Naruto manga fans out there, come out now.^^.

Do not post one-liners and "spam"...
Read the few recent pages and DISCUSS.

440:
Yondaime's appeared! (0.o) in Naruto's subconscious of course...XD
Anyway, I didn't expect for Naruto to punch him...-_-'
And so, Naruto now knows who's truly behind all of this, right? Yondaime told him...

Now that Naruto's back in Sage mode, would he be finally be able to defeat Pain? and then, what/who is next? Madara or Sasuke?

I changed your title because All caps looks messy xD
Hope you don't mind~

I'm surprised the new chapter isn't out yet since raw scans (spoiler quality) have been out since tuesday xD

[+K. Reiko-chan+]

The next chapter would probably be released by tomorrow.^^.
And thanks for the title change, I sort of forgot the way it was done before.

What I found most interesting about the chapter was the fact that Yondaime revealed that Madara summoned and controlled Kyuubi on that day 16 years ago. This means Madara lied to Sasuke at least once when telling him that it was a natural disaster and he wasn't involved in the Kyuubi incident. So I think it's highly likely that Madara lied about something or even everything else.

However, what I don't get is how Naruto was able to return to Sage Mode after Kyuubi is sealed again. He couldn't get his clone from Frog Mountain because Grandpa Frog is dead or at least out of order. And I higly doubt that Naruto was able to focus and meditate inside of Pain's Shinra Tensei to gather more Nature Chakra. So that was kinda strange.

Otherwise I quite liked the chapter, most because of Yondaime's appearance and his interaction with Naruto. I would have liked it to be longer. Maybe there is going to be some more later on.

Most likely Pain will be forced to withdraw in the next chapters as Nagato seems to be quite drained. And I can already picture what is going to happen next, Madara getting upset at Pain and beating him up or something. After all he is an Uber-Uchiha.

Anyway even if narutp defeat pein there is still Nagato. Nagato can just use other body. I just hope Gai's team would hurry up.

There's a couple theories about this:
1) even if Naruto was to kill the God body, Nagato is now weakened which would make him easy to kill by the other shinobis of the village (i.e. Ino's father).
2) Jiraiya has been talked about as being used as one of the bodies Nagato will use. I hope this never happens.

Ummm "unexpected outcome" what would it be ? sasuke arrive? or Madara appear? or nagato giving his technique to naruto just like Itachi did?

[sbyrstall]

Naruto 441 is now out. I won't say anything for a while until everyone catches up, but let's just say Naruto vs. Nagato will be coming up fast.

[LemurianCitizen]

This new chapter wasn't anything out of the ordinary, neither bad nor good. I still don't get how Naruto could have returned to Sage Mode especially as he said that his Shadow Clones vanished because of Kyuubi but hey, unexplainable power boosts aren't something new in the Shounen category.

Anyway, I'm getting disappointed of Pain. He still is an awesome character but after all the foreshadowing, the introduction of him and the Rin'negan and the fight against Jiraiya he actually is a little disappointing. Why couldn't he stay the mastermind behind everything? Why did Uchiha Madara have to appear?

Everything else was quite filler like in this chapter, leading up to the clash between Naruto and Pain/Nagato. I'm almost sure that Pain is going to withdraw or even defeated in the next two or three chapters and then Naruto will face Nagato, both speak some more, maybe some Konan action and then Madara is going to turn up and stab Nagato in the back or something like that.
