Just wanted to clarify: Since the 3rd Hokage used the Reaper Death Seal jutsu on Shodaime and Nidaime Hokage - with one of his clones - doesn't that then mean that clones have souls (the jutsu locks the souls of both opponent and user in never-ending battle). Also, since chakra stirngs can be attached to someone to help/hinder them (thats what i read), that means that they can perform handsigns.

With these 2 facts in mind, doesn't that mean that a Puppet jutsu user can perform jutsu by using a clone as a makeshift puppet. If all of this is true, doesn't this merely mean that Sasori's creation of the 'human to puppet' jutsu (forgot its name), was kinda pointless - he could have simply used a Clay clone of Deidara, or a shadow clone of another Akatsuki member...

Then again, how much chakra does a clone hold, if any (might only have a soul, but not chakra)?

Don't worry, there is nothing off-topic in these threads (as long as the question deals with Naruto), but their are plenty of Manga spoiler questions .

1.) In the Narutoverse, Souls can be split an unknown amount of times (case and point, Orochimaru had a piece of his soul removed). So, it might be possible that the splitting of chakra (which is a combination of body and soul energy) carries a section or at least connection with the original soul. The real test for a Kage Bushin in regards to its connection with the original's soul would be if someone performed the Shiki Fuijin on a Kage Bushin (which I doubt would be possible). That being said, only a Kage Bushin seems like (at least as far as we know) it can be used in conjuction with Shiki Fuijin. Kage Bushins are also the only Bushins that can use jutsus (so far).

2.) Human puppets can perform jutsus (ala Sasori using the Puppet-Third Kazekage and his Iron Sand techniques, or hell, just look at Sasori using chakra). But it is probably only Human Puppets that can use jutsus, and regular wooden puppets, since they do not have chakra pathways, can not use jutsus.

Moving your hands alone isn't going to make a jutsu work if you don't build and manipulate your chakra internally, a puppeter can manipulate a body but he can't make him use a jutsu because he is not in control of the chakra. You can manipulate the body of a clone of course but it has none of the advantages of Sasori's human puppets.

Deidara's clay clone exploded, Kisame's water clone used the Water Prison jutsu, Yamato's wood clone used several Mokuton jutsu

Spoiler:

and Itachi's clone used some crows Genjutsu.

As far as we know the only Bunshin that can't use jutsu is the regular one because it is only an illusion.

Clones can use jutsu, Zabuza

Hmm, maybe the question should then be, can Elemental Bushins use other elemental jutsus (i.e. can a Mizu Bushin use Katon/Fuuton/etc.?) If not, then Kage Bushin could the only bushin that can use a variety of jutsus (even though I do not think that has been shown).

[lemonandlime]

someone was telling me about kagegan is this real or is it just fanmade?

[Spectacular_Insanity]

Here's a simple question, though I don't know if anyone will know the answer....

What happened to Danzou's right arm and eye? I got the impression he can't use either of them at all.

Fan Speculation/Fanfic answer: He lost them to the Kyuubi.

Real Answer: Unknown, currently. Might find out when he has a flashback later in the series.

What do the Hyuuga do for Konoha, anyway? They don't contribute many ninja, and they seem to voluntarily segregate themselves...

Do they perform some important function for the village? Maybe run some sort of business?

They were one of the founding noble families of Leaf village and are ancestors of the Uchiha clan, apart from this they are more concerned with themselves and internal clan conflict. The ninja they do produce are obviously invaluable to Konoha because of the Byakugan but they don't have a special role.

What elements does Tsunade have? Could it be lightening?

Spoiler for manga:

The inbold text here is currently unknown, and based off of the recent chapter only Senjuu and Uchiha can claim the name of Founder. It seems very unlikely that the Uchiha came from the Hyuuga as well.

Sadly enough, outside of Naruto and some others we do not know many of the characters elemental affinities.

question on hyuuga clan, what really determine that someone is in the main house and the branch house, if hinata's father is the heir and in the main house just because he was born first in his generation and hinata is born first in the main house that makes her a main house member; neji's father is the branch because he was born later, thus neji is automatically a branch member, then would that make hinabi a branch member too, but the anime or manga never really explain it clearly enough

You are absolutely correct on this. But because the older sister Hinata was not talented enough for the heir of the Hyuuga she was banned to the Ninja Academy.
And because of that Hanabi took her place. Although she should've been made a branch family member.

[just another theory]
But it is also possible that they made the branch family only after the massacre of the Uchiha Clan. It could be possible that starting from the Village Leaders they drew a line. Hiashi became Main (older) and Hizashi (younger) became the Branch.
This was ofcourse done to protect the Clans secrets.

Spoiler for manga:

Madara said if Itachi had been serious he would kill Sasuke...Even in the state he was in?

*shakes head* The timegap is too big. If you recall, the Main/Branch was already present during the time of Neji and Hinata's birth, or at least her aging of 3. Sasuke was older then that when the massacre happened.

Spoiler for manga:

It's called 'retcon' many of the fans were disapointed by Itachi (who had always been displayed as a pinacle of being a ninja) taken down so easilly. So Kishi made up a couple of excuses of Itachi being sick/nearly blind/holding back to apease the Itachi fans.

I think it works in the same way as how a position of king is passed down. For example, all the offsprings of the king are in a position to inherit the throne (main house). He will pass the throne to his son usually the eldest. Until the throne is actually suceeded, all his children are in the main house. If the eldest took the throne, then all his siblings will become branch while his children will remain as main.

Spoiler for manga:

I have a question about the last 2 chapters, Kisame was with the other members of Sasukes team, so i was wondering what happened with them?

Spoiler for Manga Spoiler.:

Currently unknown, but it is presummed that Kisame is alive an well due to the fact that Suigetsu does not posses Kisame's sword the Samehade.

That being said, don't be suprised if this response and your original question are deleted since they are both solely speculation oriented and can not be actually answered at this time.

[kk2extreme]

the anime is slow enough as it is why do they bother to even put on fillers?

[Blaine]

Because they are stupid? On that note why did the anime team create an new arc instead of doing the kakashi gaiden?

They could be waiting to see what the supposed upcoming Kakashi arc in the manga will focus on, and if they can fit the Gaiden inside of the manga arc. Otherwise, I say make it into a movie.

There are only about 4 episodes worth of material in the gaiden, and 4 episodes is about the length of a movie...so...make it into a movie.
