I was referring to the post above mine and agreeing that just because they look similar doesn't mean they're somehow related.
And how would you even get that idea when you don't even know how the Sage looks like other than his figure outline and his back?

Similar hair, remotely similar cloak I suppose. From behind there is a vague resemblance.
That said, I'm going to say no relation on the grounds that Kushina is already descended from the Rikudo Sennin and that the Namikaze probably aren't (though we know nothing at all of Minato's family). What would it say of their relationship if Minato was too? <_< |

There's the possibilities of cousins Like the Rikudo Sennin being the great great great great great great great grandfather , he would have loads of grand kids by this era. But i guess even cousins are already that bad. But its the Ninja world so well weird things happen :P Naw jus kiddin. The idea is too far fetched for me to believe.

Outside of Sasuke, don't expect it. Kishi could of used the war to show improvement in the other characters, but choose not to with the exception of Gaara, Choji(and I 'd argue most of that was bad development), and maybe Ino. The others are pretty much what they were before. There is really no excuse for that with a war going on 15 months now. Did we really need to see that much Naruto?
Kishi has this habit of making Naruto seem underpowered and overemphasizing his idiocy in order to make his fights compelling. Before he pulls something out of his butt to win. But Kishi is also writing him now as Jesus, the Messiah, the Chosen One, the New Sage, Steven Seagal in his movies, due to his various over the top powerups. I think Kishi is struggling with trying to make Naruto this god-like hero, but also keeping him endearing and likable. A character you root for. Like Goku. It isn't working for me and just makes him ridiculously inconsistent. Instead of developing the character, and the others around him, Kishi just throws more powerups at Naruto. When you have to powerup a character that many times, there is something wrong with him and your writing. It's like a 14 year old girl writing a bad Mary Sue fanfic. What new pretty dress and can I give her now to cover up for this insipid story? One of the main problems right now is that you feel no danger for Naruto. Not even the slightest feeling he and Kirbai could be captured and the Alliance(remember them?) could ever lose. Even though Kishi keeps telling us how many died and how great of danger they are in. Madara just isn't doing anything for me as a villain right now to make me believe he can win. And Kabuto? Oh wait, Kishi will have Itachi take care of him in a hero moment he really didn't need. So we don't feel that Naruto is overcoming any odds. We are just left with a lot of mish mash and squiggly lines. |

Someone will have to remind me on this one, but when the Sage of 6 Paths died, his descendents took different aspects of his strength, one I remember got his powerful eyes/techniques and was the other his power/physical strength?
If so, I'd imagine Naruto will gain 'true' power from the tailed beasts and Sasuke the EMS/Rinnegan combo that Madara was too old/injured to take advantage of (or maybe a development even beyond that) if Kishimoto plans to give us a true showdown.

im kinda interested in yagura now.
it was said that only hashirama, madara, yagura and bee could fully control a bijuu it looks like yagura and bee are the only ones who do it through cooperation and kindness and respect, as opposed to general traits fromt eh sage like madara and hashirama soooo, if yagura was nice to the sanbi, it makes me wonder if the reason the sanbi was released and on its own when it was captured was because to protect it from madara, yagura broke his seal to release it. Also a bit of an issue is this.... tobidara somehow was able to control both yagura and the sanbi (because he'd have to control them both at the same time to prevent the sanbi from disrupting yagura's chakra to break his genjutsu i'm assuming) So if he has these capabilities, with the power of his sharingan... why has he not used it (and he probably won't either

Today those same people are trying to justify (uselessly) the number of power-ups being handed to him. How surprising. Apparently it's good writing when Naruto does his immature and childish speech, or even one-liner, which earns him the power to transform into a Super Saiyan level 3. "I'll do something about your hate Kyuubi." "I'll save all of you Bijuu's." Bijuu's: You convinced us Naruto. Let us give you our power. I'm not sure who they think they're kidding. They'd rage and rage all day long if it was Sasuke (for much less), but since it's the dumb blonde kid, everything's ok. |

also just as surprising is people who didn't think naruto would gain full control of the kyuubi and other bijou at some point in the story. and if said people did think it would happen, then why have a problem with the inevitable? when sasuke and naruto finally fight or when naruto becomes hokage will you complain then as well?
