Kishi considers the elemental jutsus as worthless. The only ninja relying primarily on elemental jutsus created in Pt2 is Kakuzu and he was only there to showcase Naruto's elemental training, which in turns was only made because Kishi needed an excuse for "bigger Rasengan" : 4 years and a half later, Naruto still hasn't used one real (non Rasengan) fuuton and probably won't ever. Kisame was also an element user, but he was created when elemental jutsu were pretty much the only offensive ninjutsus. Jiraiya and Danzou also had a couple of elemental jutsus, but then, instead of making strong elemental jutsus, Kishi had them combine their elemental jutsus to become more effective. Like he couldn't even think of elemental jutsus being powerful on their own. When Sasuke used Kirin, Kishi even took the trouble to explain it was better than an elemental jutsu like he thought it wasn't possible to make a true powerful elemental jutsu... When Sasuke actually became strong (awakened the MS), he nearly stopped using elemental jutsus. So I am not surprised Nagato didn't use elemental jutsu. Madara should also have all the elements, he won't use them either except maybe for some random Uchiha katons. |

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imperial_Regalia_of_Japan It hasn't been shown, but since the sword and mirror were revealed it was just a matter of time until the magatama would show up too. These objects are famous in Japan, hence the absence of any explanation. Quote:
Anyway, Naruto and Bee were a bit dumbed down so Itachi could show off a little. Looks like the crow is still in play. Maybe Naruto will find a way to recharge the eye quickly. Personally, I liked the second part better than the first. |

Of course, that was before Kishi gave up on his story in favor of pointless fanservice, so now we are without an explanation of why he never did that and chose to spent the rest of his life in a wheelchair. Kishi did well avoiding any mention of the matter since there is absolutely no way he could explain it. He only had a summon drop Nagato near Bee to use the jutsu and then, Nagato started running around like there was nothing weird about it. Last edited by Rahan; 2011-08-17 at 22:33. |

luffy may be the biggest idiot in the history of shonen but he's not dumb enough to try the same technique twice when he knows it doesn't work. i guess that's why most people bash naruto's actions in this chapter. he doesn't have to be a rocket scientist to realize that rasengan doesn't work on pain, he tried that already once before and it didn't work. he should be aware of that already. it just takes common sense. it's as if he was purposely dumbed out to make itachi and nagato look good.

And Luffy's speech about not wanting to be a hero--complete irony. He only says that because he believes being a "hero" means he has to share his personal belongings with others. Despite that, he's always performing heroics for everyone. In fact, he gave that speech while a character was trying to talk him out of rushing in on his own and performing reckless heroics with no plan. Say what you will, but he's pretty much struck from the same mold as Naruto, except replace "savior" with "pirate king". It's also kinda funny you mention the lack of teamwork, when Nagato was overcome by a combination attack from Itachi, Killer Bee and Naruto. Quote:

^Truthfully, I expect that the only reason Nagato was able to heal himself recently was either due to the fact that he is a Edo Tensei construct, or due to the Bijuu's chakra (specifically, the amount of chakra he had to absorbed to fix himself was simply too much to acquire via normal means).

Just want to clarify something here... no matter how much of Naruto's chakra gets sucked out of him, he can just regenerate a close to infinite amount with the kyubi in him, right?
On note of the story, I think people will be disappointed no matter what happens. We will get a bunch of redundant boss fights where naruto and bee will either a) blow through everyone or b) have some trouble but quickly end it anyway, until the final madara/sasuke/naruto/kabuto battle where all hell breaks loose. There's a long way to go with this redundancy thing haha As for Pain loosing so fast... there's no other explanation other than Kishi's fan service with itachi. Imo, this fight should have at least taken 6 chapters. But what can I expect when the development of the story is so poor

Naruto still has his clones running around right?
Doesn't that mean that Naruto wasn't fighting at full strength.... Even though he was acting retarded he should be able to suprise us because he hasn't shown his true strength. Also why did the fuuton rasengan not explode? I thought that when in kyuubi mode he imitates a bijuu bomb when forming a fuuton rasengan thus making that move impossible. |

The game breaker of any battle. "How did he know that?" because Kishimoto made a broken blood line with the Uchiha eyes. They can see everything apparently. |

Apart from the mastery of all elements wasn't it said that the rinnegan can master all jutsu there exists, considering that the sage of 6 paths created the whole ninja world i'm assuming he created all these chakra based jutsu types too, and one of them is genjutsu, but Nagato never used genjutsu, Kishimoto conveniently left out genjutsu from Nagato's powers since then Naruto would have no chance at all. Seeing how many complaints there are about Naruto's current bad performance i think my old training idea would be really good here, the idea was that when there's no time a training place like the one Goku and Gohan were in would be nice, Itachi could train Naruto for months or even years inside Tsukiyomi while in the real world it's just an instant. That would be a great way to power up Naruto to fight Madara and Sasuke, since Itachi knows their sharingan powers so much. And more importantly we would have some Itachi chapters in the manga, this cool character deserves some more screen time as a good guy before he goes back to the realm of the dead. To teach Naruto how to use the crow's powers to counter Sasuke's genjutsu, to make Naruto smarter in fights, to have flashbacks about what really happened, to become friends with Naruto, to become Naruto's last "sensei". And of course to have a little time-out from this war, some relax time inside an illusion world before Naruto goes to war. |

I really can't believe people are still asking for more boosts and training for naruto; amazing... When I read Naruto ask Nagato to teach him, I was like "you gotta be kidding me". I really hope we're not going to have to sit through yet another training arc where he gets yet another sensei/teacher that hands over some powerful secret technique that we have to sit and watch him struggle with, and finally suddenly master it with some melodrama and of course the goofy humor. Its crazy that people still arent satisfied at this ridiculous level of power.

Itachi will probably be following Nagato soon. He's already played his part to help Naruto so he can rest easy. Some parting words of wisdom then he goes poof...
Naruto's clones have likely spread out and taken care of most of the white Zetsu by now. So there's still Mei and Black Zetsu , then maybe Gaara's division is revisited to show Oonoki vs Muu + other Kages vs. Gaara's division. There'll probably be some snatches of what the Konoha kids are up to in-between.
