[Manga] Chapter 488 Discussion
Welcome to the weekly manga chapter discussion thread. This thread is created early to discuss spoilers and speculation about the upcoming chapter as well as discussion of said chapter once it has been released.
As per the forums rules, please don't ask for or mention about where to download the (licensed) manga. Also remember not to post or link to any translations of the manga, since this is illegal as well. Posting a synopses or summary is fine (and welcome) but please do not discuss scans, raws, translation groups, etc. Additionally, if you are posting someone else's synopsis (or their translation of a synopsis), then please provide credit were credit is due. Remember that the manga is licensed, do not post significant parts of the chapter. This stands for pictures and direct translations. Summaries are ok, crops of pictures are ok as well if you want to illustrate your point but this is it. --- Chapter Status: Full Spoiler released Quote:

Interesting, so does this mean that Kakashi's not going to get his shot at hokage after all . Maybe Tsunade will step down after hearing all the news for some reason, or maybe Kakashi can request getting his face on the mountain for being hokage all of five seconds
Hey James, this is about the same as the last spoiler on the previous thread, except no mention of Kabuto. Does he not show up after all? I thought it sounded awfully sudden. |

Actually there is a brief mention of Kabuto in an early spoiler, but it has no context, and since he does not appear in any of the longer, more complete, spoilers, nor does he appear in any of the released images, I decided to leave the name drop out for now.

Tsunade vs Kakashi for the position of Hokage makes no sense from what O gather Kakashi really doesn't want to be Hokage unless he has to. Tsunade waking up pretty much bails him out.
Did Madara need bandages after he took his brothers eyes? Then again Sasuke had a fancy surgery and didn't just rip his eyes out. |

Well at least a lot seems to happen this chapter, with a chance of something really interesting being revealed next week. |

^Actually, in this case, the petulant child act is an act. The final page of the scene has Naruto acting like a buffoon with his friends, before he starts walking away, and he becomes serious looking. He is acting the goof currently, but he has not truly slipped back into that role.
That being said, this chapter, once again, royally fucks the whole concept of travel time... |

Oh yes, of all the things that it could be.. First of all THE NINE TAILED FOX DUUUUH... second of all.. sinister feelings like sai mentioned about naruto feeling hatred towards sasuke deep down.. and maybe just maybe you can put the crow at option nr 3.. But sure.. ofcourse if you think a crow is a source of evil then go ahead.

Kakashi never wanted to be Hokage. He will definitely want Tsunade to remain. Tsunade would then hand over the reigns to Naruto. The Year of Kakash has been a dud so far. Oh well, we still have plenty of time to go.
When the Konoha kids meet it's like the Justice League of America or the Avengers. Thank goodness everything is moving. We'll probably stay in Konoha for the time being with glimpses of the other villages preparing for war. Those Naruto x Karin shippers might actually have something. Interesting that Hinata has become wallpaper and Sakura has turned into a crazy person, while formally bad girl Karin is getting tons of positive development. Enough to be a main character's love interest. Quote:

I said Crow because isn't the Kyuubi a bit too obvious? I mean doesn't she know he's the carrier after all that time working with Orochimaru and Akatsuki? You guys can't be 100% right about this, neither can I.
Though Naruto's own deep buried feelings of anger and betrayal are also a good option. |

^Maybe it has less to do with Itachi, and more to do with the fact that it came from an Uchiha? Maybe she is sensing the same darkness that pervades Sasuke inside of Naruto (given to him by Itachi)? Those Uchihas man, they are primo fucked up, so if it is a "darkness" then I expect it is coming from the fact that the crow is an Uchiha construct...then again, Karin seems to be sensing mindfucks and insanity recently, so she could simply be feeling the hidden depths of Naruto's own rage...

Oh, as long as we are talking about that crow, I had a question. Did that even happen in the anime? I just rewatched a lot of the series with my younger sister, and when it was at the part where it happens in the anime, I never saw the crow. Itachi just said he wanted to speak with Naruto and then after a different scene, it shows the group with Kakashi finding Naruto alone. He looks kind of funny and tells them nothing happened when questioned, but no crow scene. Did I just miss it, or will it just be shown as a flashback later if it ever becomes important? Just kind of found it interesting that something that everyone still keeps anticipating in the manga was just glossed over in the anime. |

Personally, I never understood how eyes can be transplanted in this series if medical-nin can't heal nerves. I think Kishimoto overlooked something... because continuity is seriously lacking here.
