It's a new week, so that means new Naruto spoilers...which have been released...

thx 4 the food :) sound like ok chap so far...the old geezer being useful for one was high time ...though it sucks a bit imho that seemingly he gets done in for that right after :heh:

I wonder if the Mizukage stepping it up a notch is preparing the field for Gaara bein badass or for yet another Naruto rescue - if Naruto ends up soloing half of the Kages I shall be irked...

question: what's a houzuki again please? thx :D

Suigetsu's clan. So presumably this Mizukage should be able to take watery form?

Suigetsu (Sasuke's faithful water companion :)) and Mangetsu are both Houzuki.

edit: ninja'd by Discerptor :).

chap's out btw ...

hm. not too bad, not too good either. I'm kinda reliefed Oonoki wasn't done there at that point, that would have been quite lame. Garaa playing Pharao... oh well... I liked the burial he gave Kinimarou back then much more than this ...
anyways, am I gettin that right that Mizukage has just switched into a steam-body ... and that he can stretch all over the place and have the molecules of his steam body cause explosions anywhere he likes? and since he's making the explosions out of water which he brings in beeing one of those Houzuki and the air itself ... endless explosion spam indeed. So, basically, he's like a shapeshifting - drifting - morphing - flexible - living - inexhaustible ammo - steam-explosion minefiled-bomb? that's not half bad as techniques go.. :D

well, all in all chap still felt somewhat shortish

2nd mizukage is now my all time fav kage

Third Hokage is still top for me but hell if the Second Mizukage ain't right next to him. There's something about a guy that shouts at others to hurry up and kill him and then complain when they fail.

Water gun! Got to love it.

Well would be even more badass if he could just spit his enemies in the face and they die instantly instead of flicking at em with his finger ..like ... a western style sharpshooter kage (with water pistol:eyebrow:)? dunno :heh:

So If Muu's family made the technique, how does Mizukage know it?

I don't see this anywhere in the chapter.

And what the hell is taking Naruto so long? He lost Bee in like an instant and they were nowhere near the others to begin with, yet he can't even make it to a nearby battlefield in time?

Muu's family didn't make the technique, the whole chapter was just awfully translated.

What's the correct translation of that part?

It says that even Muu didn't know how to deal with this jutsu.

The mizukage says he is stronger than Muu. Wasn't it said that they both died in a battle against each other? I thought that these two kages were the same strength.

However it may be true that the Mizukage was stronger overall but that Muu kage was his natural enemy. If Kishimoto continues with this "Naruto must find the weak point" theme then i think when Naruto comes into this battle he might realize that Muu found a way to beat the mizukage with some speciality jutsu of his (still ended in double K.O., both died), then Naruto can ask the old rock kage about Muu and find a solution to beat the mizukage. I would like such a story, but probably many others would not :)

Well I'm all for Naruto going detective again.

Than again, maybe all it takes is Sage Mode Perception followed by a Mass Kagebunshin and some Rasengan style direct attack :D
Assuming for a moment that the problem in dealing with this technique is not simply it's endless explosion spam attack power but more so the fact that now that the guy mist-ified himself you have no clue where and how to hit him hard - but, remember how that water-elemental thing from that anime filler arc had a "core"? Maybe Mistokage has a "core" too in that water body... The problem prly is both finding it and getting to it in time. So if he can find it with Sage mode, and then get to it ... or he spams Kagebunhsin like mad that no matter where Misto moves his "core", he is already there...

Well, lets hope it won't be that cheap. What would be kinda cool would be a fing HUGE Rasen-Vacuum that sucks the whole Kagecloud in and compresses and explodes it :heh:

Naruto isn't going to play detective ... Gaara is going to prove he is worthy of his trust and that he has indeed the best defense ...
Then, the fight will be over quick since the Mizukage genjutsu and ninjutsu will be already defeated and we'll move on to the next battlefield ...

Kishi spoiled the scenario of this fight last week. When Naruto said Gaara had the strongest shield and the focus moved right away on Gaara, you knew Gaara's shield would be the key of the fight and that he would sucessfully tank something amazing ...

I hate that guy's design. He's stupid looking.

casualty count still zero....

Maybe they'll release Muu for a second and ask him.

But really, everyone knows his weakness since he told them, only the readers are the ones that don't know.
