How would that work within Konoha? Unless you mean that Danzo would adopt that policy in response of seeing the clan go through an internal civil war?

Spoiler for manga spoilers:

The only person within the clan against the Uchiha Coup was Itachi...and we saw how he handled the situation. If you are talking about a broader question of what would Konoha do if any of the respective clans attempted a coup or had an internal struggle, I am fairly certain that Danzou and company would use similar methods to prevent a coup (i.e. destroy the clan from within or without), and if there is an internal struggle amongst the clan, besides the fact that there would be differences from clan to clan, Danzou and company would either leave the situation alone, or side with the faction that supports Konoha.

How old is Danzou anyway? And why is he leader of root if he's crippled? o_0

I'll bet you can kick former presidents Bush his ass without too much effort.
Still he was the leader of the american citizens. Danzou might be the leader because of his ways of thinking. But it's also possible that he can still fight very good.

Look at Master Yoda (Star Wars)..he spoke in a funny way and walked all the time as a very very old man who couldnt do so much. But during his battles he moved faster and more flexible than any other Jedi. Perhaps Danzou is the same..

Danzou is a contemporary of Sarutobi, so he is at least 70 years old if not older.

Danzou lived through an era of wartime anyhow. So that broadly describes his crippled state. Anyhow I guess some conflict between Danzou and the true leader of Hokage went on, and then they probably had a war establishing the rightful Hokage to the Village of Konoha. I guess they just kind of gave Danzou a "rubber-stamp" position.

Naruto manga seems pretty close to coming to a end to me. How many years do you think the manga has left?

[Takashipl]

Well, at least 100 more chapters, which makes 2 years, but i wouldn't be surprised if it was 4 years.

[Subzero00]

i hope it does surprise 4 years but i think its only got about 2 if that. all the story seem to be coming to a end. Really depressing

Not really, we still have that whole entire Itachi problem to settle out with the village of Konoha. Madara, The 8-tails (If he ever arrives in Konoha to help out with aid), Pain's disagreement or agreement, and finally Sasuke. Oh, and I also forgot to mention Naruto's ascension into the title of Hokage.

Here is a good website that lists all the filler material found in the anime (both Part 1 and Part 2). The site is set-up so that any text that is set in an orange-ish/yellow font is filler, and the normal grayscale text is based on the manga. Just to give you a heads up, the major fillers arcs do not start until Season 6 (Episode 136). In fact, everything from 136 to 220 is filler, with only parts of 220 coming from the manga. Whether they are "irrelevent" is entirely based on opinion: while the filler arcs certainly do not "matter" in the sense that they provide no new manga info, they can still be fun and entertaining.

There's still two more grand ninja villages to visit and probably fight, so after the current arc and the one after it, Kishi could catch up from the point of seeking true peace and spawn another 5 arcs or so.

[Subzero00]

What do you mean by arcs

[Kafriel]

Cycles, stories. Like, Naruto's first mission was the Land of Waves arc (as remarked below), the second one was the chuunin exam, third one was training with Jiraiya and so on.

Spoiler for Manga:

We're currently on the Pain arc, started at chapter 415.

[james0246]

^Just as a brief correction, Naruto's first major mission was to the Land of Waves (Nami no Kuni), not Mist village.

First of all HI

I have a few questions, bet they were already answerd but i'm too lazy to search for it (116pages to look for it)

Ammm... yeah so, with all this crap filler that hurt my eyes so bad im in fear of going blind how important are they in terms of story or chars in shippunden? i know i skipped all of them at the end of part 1 because they were simply terrible, horrible and hollow(i didn't miss anything important or did I??), so when i started shippunden it really rocked and i got to a point where i had to start reading the manga although i swored to myself i would never do that, but i simply just had to gone ahead off anime story, so i read it till the chapter where pain attacks konoha and kakashi stops him. then i pulled myself away from them and said that ill wait for the anime to catch up to it, cuz of the music lack(that imo made this anime one of the greatest) so i waited quiet some time so that the parts would accumulate a bit, but ive talked to few of my schoolmates couple of days ago who were reagulary behind the anime and the story they told me that's going on was completly off of what i know was the manga story, so i went to watch anime a bit and came to the fillers with that boy who also had part of kyuubi inside of him, it was terrible to watch, they are pulling each others legs second by second and those guys who control all of the elements itc. are in one moment strong enough to destroy the earth but then they are defeated in one minute by some lame trick.. WTF?? so i just wanted to know how important are these filler in shippunden in terms with story so i would just skipp them and stick with the main story line, and if any filler arc is by some miracle good to watch would you be so kind to name it for me:P sorry about the long post just want to return to the good old naruto world that had me sucked in for so many years

[james0246]

Watch Shippuden episodes up to 56, then skip to Episode 72. Nothing that happens in the Twelve Elite Guardians filler arc bears any real connection with the main story, besides an early introduction of Asuma's time with the group. That being said, the recent Find Sanbi filler is pretty good, and it ties directly into the upcoming 'real' storyline (which should start in 4-5 episodes...probably). (I have heard some speculation that the various filler would last until August, but I think that speculation was based on the release of the new movie, and not some insider info.)

edit: Kafriel just reminded me that the Kakashi Gaiden is going to start sometime in July, therebouts. So, even if you skip the Sanbi arc, make sure to stay posted for the Kakashi Gaiden .

Who is the LEADER of the Akatsuki organization?

Spoiler for manga:

Pein?
Madara?
Also some of my friends say Naruto's dad, 4th Hockage, is actually the leader of Akatsuki!!??

Spoiler for manga:

It seems that Madara is the leader, but he was in the shadows and Pein pretended to be "boss".
There was a theory long ago that 4th Hokage leads Akatsuki, but it is completely false.
