[Manga] Naruto Chapter 697 Discussion Thread

[OH&S]

Next week there'll be 2 chapters.

Was it an extra-long ending chapter or two actual chapters to hit 700? Well, guess it doesn't really matter.

Huh, nice to see some lasting damage, assuming no one is able to heal it (Naruto's always had crazy healing power and he replaced Kakashi's eye a while back so you never know), and for Sasuke to finally just give up. When Sasuke isn't being all angsty, they do get along (argumentative, but still close), so now on to the epilogue. Are they going to limp back in that state or is Kakashi and Sakura going to have to come find them?

i dont think the arm was cut, i think it was destroyed

Yeah it's definitely destroyed, the collision of both their attacks, destroyed both their arms, it wouldn't make sense to have it cut from above the elbow in that kind of situation.

Shame on you all, Posting new chapter discussion in an old chapter thread.... New thread has been created, please move all relevant discussions there.

[The Green One]

To be fair, the chapter thread did not exist yet at the time of our posts.

So I was re-reading the last fight of Naruto and Sasuke, I was wondering if Rasengan is really stronger than Chidori? I mean yes they cancelled out each other's attack vaporizing both of their dominat arm but I noticed that Naruto just used a regular rasengan against Sasuke's amaterasu enhanced chidori. At first I though that Naruto had used Sage mode, but upon reading it again I noticed that he hadn't. Granting that it is kyuubi powered but is it still enough to cancel an enhanced chidori? Maybe Naruto is really more powerful than Sasuke at the moment of this fight(as we don't know if he still has acess to So6P mode which was not shown in the movie) as Naruto is just mostly defending himself? Any thougts?

Re-read Naruto vs. Sasuke in hospital rooftop, it's clear that in terms of raw damage, Rasengan > Chidori.

Comparing Rasengan and Chidori if I have to describe it, it's like comparing a mace and a sword.

Hmm yeah but it is normal rasengan vs normal chidori but in this fight, it is normal rasengan vs chidori-kagetsuchi(?). Oh well im just confused on how Sasuke's enhanced chidori got cancelled out. Maybe Kyuubi's chakra is just so strong.
