If Sasuke can see microscopic chakra bombs under his skin, then Kakashi should be able to predict an entire person's ducking movement.

It's also pissing me off with the continued asking of low profile filler ninja on naruto's location. WTF are they gonna really know? Konoha has already sent teams to hunt Akatsuki down, and Pein just thinks that he'll be able to assault the village and find him? That's a ten minute plan at best!

if pein sees the attack raikiri will miss sharingan or not. the rinnegan's field of vision trumps kakashi. the way pein dodges isn't predictable as long as another body is watching.

it's better to ask low level ninja because a weakling is more likely to give up info. stronger ninja will fight and delay pein. he can kill a weakling and move on until he finds one w/naruto's whereabouts.

they can't risk losing the hokage. tsunade fighting is a last resort.

If someone is controlling them all remotely, sending chakra signals to the bodies to move them, they should both have noticed and evaded.

Something inconsistent is afoot. God Pain seems to be the only one even slightly independent in the bunch, giving the rest instructions. Will stopping God Pain stop them all?

demon was electrocuted. he couldn't move. the bodies are obviously moving independently and god pein wasn't around for the initial jiraiya fight. none of the 6 bodies are the real one.

It's set in 20XX ADB (ADB = After Dragonball...)

I wonder because they have computers, missiles, IVs etc...but they have no guns in sight and instead they use knives, shurikens and swords

[wtfftw]

I have mixed feelings about this chapter and the entire fight.

When i read Kotengu post i sort of have to agree with his point. Further more. If pain gets hit by chouji and his dad then im doubting on pains strength because pain supposed to own and just fucking kick any of the ninja in konoha. And does pain actually kill people or are they imobilized cuz that would be gay

[Shiryuu]

3 face dude reminds me of Sasori's first form.

Now we just have to wait if Pain leaves that one behind or we see how he revives his bodies.

At chapter 421 end, you can read:

Next Chapter: "Kakashi's hope!!"

If you read chapter 422 end:

Next Chapter: "Capture Pain!!"

One thing I don't like is the sudden change of situations, it shouldn't be so quick, it took Jiraiya his life just to figure Pain's secret and Kakashi turns the tables in less than 5 mins, it should be a gradual change of situations not a sudden change.

[Fran~]

Yes, but Jiraiya was on his own... Kakashi has full support, even some intelligence info gathered by Jiraiya, plus Shizune, Ino's dad and even Kakashi are figuring out Pain's secrets... and Tsunade is practically supporting every ninja who is fighting.

[Mists]

Interesting 3-faced puppet Pain, I believe he got hit because Kakashi's bushin electrified him and disabled him. Still...I don't quite get it, showing the power now and not vs Jiaraya.

Pain falling for the Bushin...

And another curse of the Akatsuki member taking off his cloak and losing lol

although Pain can reincarnate him I think, unlike the guy stuck in Jiaraya's dimension..

[Fran~]

In fact, Demon Pain was who sliced Jiraiya's left arm. The Bunshins could be very tricky, remember how Kakuzu was decieved by Naruto's KB. We dont know about reincarnetion either, to me, God Pain could be the one to aim... the other 5 are even expendable or slaves.

[Psychotic]

Well Kakashi raised his coolness factor in this chapter and is stronger than i thought against pain. Good thing that puppetPainthingie got wasted, it was too far out imo.

[Kishimyu]

Kakashi seems to be stronger now, i mean when he fought against Kakuzu he seemed weak; but now he seems to think more like the old Kakashi and he even used a new
whip-like form of Chidori in the last chapter. Plus with the support of the other shinobi like Chouji and his dad, he should have the upper hand.

Btw anyone have a guess on the guy Konan was trying to interrigate and swore at her????
he was smiling so i just thought it could be another strong or important Jounin character or something

[Fran~]

Ten Ten maybe?

[Kishimyu]

Hmmm, i hope we get to see more action from characters like Ten-Ten, Shino, Kiba and Akamaru, Hinata and some others we havent seen in a while; we havent seen most of them in action for a long, long time

Pain is doing great as a diversion, it seems everyone was so focused on Pain, they somewhat ignored Paper girl.

Plus It would be cool that at the end they managed to take down most of the bodies, except God Pain. Then Paper girl informed Pain that Naruto is not present so they just leave. But they were being chased then Pain summoned new bodies to force konoha to retreat.

Though this makes me question where would Konoha retreat to if they are already in Konoha.

[kk2extreme]

quick q: how is kanon's power and skill levels stack up to the other ak members.
I mean i dont really see her fight except against jiraya for a little while, then pain to the rescue soon after. Every one is so focus on the male ak members, but they seem to forget to develop the only female member

[blewin]

uh! so that's what Tsunada's slugs can do... make multiple healers. What an amazing technique.

nice touch there at the end with Choji and his dad working together!

[LeoThugs]

Tsunade asking Katsumi to split into hundreds of little slugs and start healing every injured person in the village, using Tsunade's Chakra ?? Healing techniques consume a lot of chakra.

Just how much Chakra does tsunade have?

She probably has accumulated 3 year's chakra as reserve in her seal, so she has quite a lot of chakra. Plus it may be that she uses the slug's chakra as her own, it's not unprecedented to use someone else's chakra, take for example the demon containers or Chiyo using Naruto's chakra to revive Gaara.
