When I first glanced at this... especially the part of naruto losing consciousness... was, are we going to see the return of the kyuubi... but yea... I hope im wrong really...


also at the end of the chapter both pain's still standing... curious to see how they got here... so we have had the hero entrance.. show of strength, battle strats... now here is the struggle... just need the perseverance.. then we will have a naruto fight

[Rahan]

Well, he needs to wake up first, because Pain thinks he has won.
It's the last page of the chapter and the last line is "Kyuubi's capture : completed"

The update about Shikamaru and his broken leg was there to show that even the people who didn't fight Pain directly before the explosion are in no shape to fight him after the explosion.
Anyways, it's clear Naruto will get out of this pinch by himself, unless Kishi wants to turn his "revolution" into a mockery and make all the characters who believed in him or in the prophecy look like idiot. (Jiraiya and Tsunade mostly)

But I wonder how it could have happened, that Naruto got grabbed by this body.

It might.... Naruto needs to go Kyuubi... remember that it was said that the Kyuubi Chakra works as a poison on everyone else except Naruto (which is why Sakura was unable to fully heal her wound...)

Besides... if Naruto throws out a massive load of chakra then even that Pain should be unable to handle sooo much chakra. But yeah this looks like Naruto might need to rely on the Kyuubi once again...unless....he still has the other clone left...

He really likes cliff hangers kishi does.. but sometimes he can be a bit obvious.. but we will see what happens next week... also this is that one stuff up everyone was waiting for... we all prayed it wouldn't come, but i guess he just couldn't give him to much credit... but in saying that he does need to struggle somewhat or it will make the fight lack drama... I just really hope kyuubi just doesn't come out own pain and ruin all of the work kishi has done with the past 5 or so chapters...

[Josh Uzumaki]

i think its time for some naughty Mr. Fox, i want it to come out and just be all crazy,or maybe ots time for ten ten to arrive along with neji ^_^

[Kafriel]

Nobody can escape the death Pein headlock, but yea I kinda expect Naruto to go bananas, anyone who has had previous interaction with red chakra was overwhelmed...but first I expect everyone to run out of all possible options!

[LightningZERO]

Interesting turn of event. Naruto getting captured...and it seems he's really in a pinch

[Photonbeam]

Maybe Naruto will go Kyuubi-mode. Or maybe Sasuke will come just in time to help Naruto (this might be next to impossible).

[Pentium]

Sasuke returns next chapter. I have done pretty well in predicting this arc and I could see this happening!

I currently have 100% predication rate!

[Kafriel]

Lemme guess...
Sasuke: Now, to finally destroy Konoha...
Pain: An uchiha, huh? Witness the power that destroyed Konoha!
Sasuke: Y-you did it before me? you're dead meat! *_* <-sharingan

I don't think that Naruto has to win in any impressive or overwhelming fashion in order for the prophecy to be true. The prophecy is that he is the chosen one, not the one who cannot lose.

Naruto is still very young and has a way to go before we start congratulating him for perfecting anything besides KB.

It just seems like everyone keeps putting these absolutes on Naruto's destiny. Its like people are saying "Naruto must do this" and "Naruto must do that" in order to be worthy and not a joke. Naruto, I suspect, will always be a knucklehead .. even once he becomes Hokage. Jiraya was a knucklehead in his own pervy, quirky way but still he was still a legendary sannin nonetheless.

Jiraya was considered for the position of hokage before Tsunade, which just demonstrates that you don't have to be so serious and lose your idiosyncrasies to be a great ninja.

Naruto has to be allowed to try and fail or we risk losing the very quality that makes the character endearing and human. Once that happens he becomes a Sasuke clone who needs to be cold and uncaring in order to be effective.

I'll pass on that.

[tatami]

absorbing jutsu is something....absorbing chakra?...wow...kishi nows how to drag a fight

[naruske]

maybe that body is a kage bunshin?

not likely , naruto wouldnt waste the sage mode on a KB cuz if it gets hit it will dissapear and the sage mode will be wasted...its not like KB not endless so he shouldnt risk his limited sage mode on a KB...also the energy returns to original user in KB but we dont know if other KB's get the info or energy too...

We've seen Naruto try and fail. People are tired of it. Its time to let naruto be successful. I think its incredibly poor writing to build naruto up this much just to let him fail.

[Josh Uzumaki]

anybody think that jutsu might make an apperance now?
also just a quick thought, naruto might have let himself be captured. he can find out where atasuki is
