Here is one thing. When the manga started as season 2 it was mentioned that the chunin exams were near. I wounder if kishimoto won't use and other exam to bring togheter characters again. Also the chunin exam period would be the logical period ofve time Oro and or akatsuki would use to sneek into the leaf. With all the strangers comming for the event its the perfect diversion. One question i wounder thou is. Are they gonna make Naruto go throught the exams or just bost him up since ist clear he si jonin level at least chunin now.

I gotta say...i am amazed how many people think that Akatsuki will be the last opponent..
There are definetly guys out there...who are more interesting, stronger & faster out there then Akatsuki. I will call just some random things which arent even properly introduced. Or explained. - 7 Mists swordsmen (Zabuza, Kisame...both are very different in strenght...) - 3rd Mangekyou Sharingan User (which Itachi spoke of...a person that Sasuke would know...) A person which may already have been mentioned in the name of Madara. - Kabuto (do i need to mention more?) - Yondaime Hokage & his connection to Naruto (probably saved for last...) - The Kyuubi (the biggest enemy in Naruto's world) - Proper introduction of the other 3 country's/villages & their Kages...(Rock, Water, Cloud) - History behind the Hyuuga & Uchiha... Well....Naruto is still a genin....(now why is that?)...I think Kishi intenteds to make the story longer then we think. I am very positive that in each country...there is a very powerfull person which could definetly be connected to another Akatsuki member... The worst thing that could happen aint Akatsuki...it's a new Ninja War (like back in the old day's wars that last for months or years...)

They are also not like the Sannins. It's not a nick they have, but a rank (Zabuza "joined" and "left" the 7 swordsmen, you can't join or leave the Sannin.) |

The Sannins received a title...that's different from a nickname...and it is possible that the 7 Mists Swordsmen could have a nickname/title aswell but i doubt that it is a rank.
It could be very similair to the Konoha's 12 Guardsmen (like Asuma). And the fact that Kakashi is the one to blame for Zabuza's death with Kisame holding a grudge against him must've ment something aswell. At the beginning of Naruto...Kakashi was considred a top jounin in the village....and he barely defeated Zabuza. So i assume that the other mists swordsmen are pretty strong aswell. (if they are alive...) Also except Deidara (Sand) are there no other members of Akatsuki who directly attacked the village. Kisame & Itachi prevented that....and left. Hidan & Kakuzu (Cloud) attacked a jinchuuriki but no one seemed...or was around... There must've been a reason for that....they must have powerfull shinobi aswell...stronger/equal/some below that of Konoha top jounins...keeping Akatsuki away...

I wouldn't say there was a bigger focus on Hinata in Part 1. She has always been a minor character. But I guess it was something compared to no focus at all like now.

But Akatsuki don't appear to attack villages for the sake of destruction. They only infiltrate a village if they need to do so to get the jinchuuriki and then immediately leave once they have what they want. In the case of the Deidara and Sasori, the Sand was on alert for Akatsuki and the jinchuuriki they were assigned to capture just happened to be the Kage of the village. There was no way to accomplish the mission without attacking the village. Quote:

It would be great if this happens though...Hanabi joins the crew...& Shika gets promoted to Jounin.
And i think like Deidara mentioned....nobody cares/cared for the Jinchuuriki. I think they abandoned Yugito...i doubt the world or 1 of the 5 great countries cant defend themselves against a bunch of Akatsuki Members...(1 pair) Because if that's the case then Konoha is highly overpowered compared to the other villages. And a regular (Konoha) chuunin can kill their jounins & kages. I doubt that...

The way Kakashi uses elements in the 4th episode, it will make Kazuzu look tough (because of the 5 hearts), but ordinary powerwise.
I know Kakashi uses only jutsus he had used previously, but to make 3 different elemental jutsus in a row was supposed to look extraordinary while Kakashi does it in sparring fights. |

Having Kakashi use Katon surprised me too. That's an ability he has yet to show in the manga, but I guess it was never said he couldn't use fire element. Still, I don't think it makes Kakuzu's abilites less impressive. Kakuzu's real strength wasn't the fact that he could use all 5 elements, but that he could use them all simutaneously in a fight.

I've been seeing a lot of speculation about how the 4th could possibly be the AL, but didn't he die in the sealing of Kyuubi inside of Naruto? I mean, one of the techniques he used to seal Kyuubi was the same one the 3rd used to seal Oro's arms- and, according to the 3rd, the shinnigami devours the soul of the user once the technique is done. And it's not like the user can walk around soulless afterward- the 3rd also stated that being skewered by Oro's Kusanagi sword didn't matter, since the consumption of his soul was going to kill him anyway.
On the OTHER hand... There are mitigating factors that have to be taken into account: 1. It is not for certain whether the Kyuubi even has/had a soul-- perhaps the 4th had modified the technique so that the Shinnigami took Kyuubi's body instead [which, if that's the case, then perhaps the 4th's body was also taken, and not his soul...] 2. The 4th sealed Kyuubi's "whatever" within Naruto, NOT within himself 3. The 4th HAD to have survived [at least for a time...] after the Dead Demon Seal technique expired, in order to fully seal Kyuubi's "whatever" within Naruto in the first place I'm sure there are others to be considered, but these three are the only reasonable/logical ones that I could come up with, that would perhaps validate the theory that the 4th is at least still alive.

i don't know what it is but the shear fact that people think the fourth is the Al seems stupid to me. If it ends up being true i will be very disappointed. It seems that it would be the last person you would expect but the first you would think of ( if that makes sense to you). i just think it would be to blatant for him to be the Al. It would be much better story telling finding out that the fourth is in fact related to naruto in some way, and the Al is related to Sasuke in another way. i may seen dumb to some of you but i still think if the fourth ends up being the Al i will be very upset.
