[Manga] Naruto Chapter 697 Discussion Thread

* Naruto stands up *
Sasuke : ... give me a fucking break, already...

My thoughts exactly. Naruto's chakra bank is ridiculously OP. The end was similar to MGS4's Epilogue (.. nothing can come close at it, but memorable anyway). Anyway, the chapter was pretty good but I liked the previous one better. With that said, the battle's been modestly rushed (putting it mildly) and could of been better with one more chapter dedicated to it.

What does his Chakra have to do with it? It was Kurama who kept him alive at the beginning, and later (when Sasuke actually thought/said that) he was running on raw endurance.

I thought this chapter did a reasonably good job of showing that Naruto and Sasuke were finally running out of juice.

[Kafriel]

Gotta love the dialogue...

- Narutooooooo...
- Sasukeeeeeeee!!!

No, really, a fight with few words is just so cool

Naruto needs to win this alone.

Sakura could punch and disrupt the ground under sasuke making him stumble. that would be no different than what vegeta did in the gohan2 v perfect cell fight.

but given, the location and past comparisons, the end of the fight is quite likely to go the way of the hash v madara fight where naruto has managed to create and clone and then ends up at sasukes back but in this case he does something extremely non-lethal.

alternatives that i would prefer:
1. pull off some futon technique that negates the chidori
2. uses wind in the water that they are in a finally create a hurricane.
3. most preferred - sasuke actually lands the blow and we get to see what kurama meant ages ago when he told sasuke that he would regret killing naruto...

Naruto's best move to end the fight with Sasuke.
It worked quite effectively against Gaara, why not here?

perhaps in male harem form?

Man looks like Naruto is going to die! Oh wait he's in the final movie so he gets out of this somehow, then it must be Sasuke who dies! Oh wait he's in the movie too.

So.....uh........yeah.

That movie stuff is really not much of a spolier, we all know that Naruto will succeed where his predecessors failed. Even if the way this happens is kinda lame. But anyway, success means they'll all survive and life happily and so on...

I also think it could that way I especially like the final alternative where Sasuke actually does hit Naruto with that chidori I would also like to know what Kurama meant by him regretting it. Probably Sasuke kills him and somehow releases that dark naruto that we saw way back when Bee was teaching Naruto to control the kyuubi who proceeds to stomp Sasuke bad to the point of almost killing him or Naruto just pulls a half formed rasengan which collides with Sasukes chidori losing but repeling the attack which could explain why he has tht bandage in the Last movie trailer. Or its just a clone.

Spoiler for Spoilers?:

As satisfying as it would be to see Sakura punch Sasuke's lights out, it'd mean that Naruto STILL can't beat Sasuke in a one on one fight, even after becoming so accomplished which would personally annoy me.

Then have her do it after Naruto is done with him! I just want to see this!

NaruSaku fans have to accept that Sakura would more likely knock out Naruto and run off with Sasuke-kun.

On the one hand, I wouldn't mind this seeing as Naruto wouldn't count this fight as settling the score (he's said as much) anyway. On the other, this is the last on-screen chance we'll get to see him do so though, so...

[Alchemist007]

Wow that spoiler is pissing me off.

Spoiler:

Let them settle it themselves. Freakin Sakura.

Basically...

Spoiler for "Spoilers"(?):

Sakura ruins everything...so nothing new under the sun...

I have a strong suspicion that "spoiler" is actually well-drawn fanart, guys; relax.

It is; MK already said as much. People are just speculating on something similar actually happening (unless some people are actually mistaking it as real and I didn't notice...).

This. I really just want them to settle it themselves without intervention and for Naruto to earn a win.
