[Manga] Akatsuki's War
[Manga] The Fourth Great Shinobi World War
A thread for all discussions about the current Great Shinobi War. Discussions about battles, the characters, tactics, who could die, who will become famous, other predictions, long term ramifications, etc, can all go here. Overview: With the official forming of the Allied Shinobi Forces, the Fourth Great Shinobi World War has finally kicked into high gear. First declared by Madara Uchiha during the Kage Summit, the war involves the Five Great Shinobi Nations and the Land of Iron. Their opponents are Akatsuki led by Madara Uchiha, Zetsu, Sasuke Uchiha, and their "ally" Kabuto Yakushi. Through Edo Tensei, Kabuto has brought back a number of famous shinobi to fight on his side. The objective of the war is to prevent the capture of the jinchuuriki Kirabi and Naruto Uzumaki. If both are captured, Madara will be able to complete his Eye of the Moon Plan. The plan involves fusing all the tailed beasts back into their original form, the Ten Tailed Beast(Jyuubi). Madara would then become jinchuuriki to the Jyuubi and use his new power to project his Mangekyo Sharingan onto the moon. Therefore creating an eternal genjutsu to enslave the world.

I hope Kishi gives three to five chapters a fight. I expect Kankuro vs. Sasori, Sai vs Shin, and Omoi/others vs. Deidara. The big question is what will the ending be? I don't think the Alliance can win the first battle. But would Kishi let Kankuro lose again to Sasori? Doesn't fit the next generation stuff. So I think they both have to retreat somehow. That's why I see one of three sacrificing himself so the others can escape.

Personally, I do not like how many of the younger Shinobi have key positions. Shikimaru, for example, is only a Chuunin, so I highly doubt any of the older more experienced (and higher ranked) Shinobi in his squad would be as willing to listen to his commands.

Considering the fact that hundreds of people witnessed first hand the level of intelligence that Shikamaru displayed a few years back at the Chuunin exams, he has proven his intelligence. Given the fact that age sometimes work against you in battle both physically and mental acuity, it should not come as a surprise that Shikamaru holds such a high ranking position. However, I do question some of the other youthful leaders without pointing out names.

Shikimaru, for all his qualities, has never proven himself a leader, and only those that already know him actually listen to him. So, I find it very hard to believe that he has the command of an entire division (especially considering his father seems to be unassigned). Quote:
Honestly, I think Shikimaru's position is simply for the fans. Personally, I would have been more satisfied if Temari was in charge, and she used Shikimaru as the brains (instead we get Kankuro in charge...). At least then a Jounin would be in charge, and Shikimaru would be doing what he does best: making plans and strategies. |

Well there were a lot of people who were upset the 16 year old Gaara was made General of the Armies. He has never shown any ability in tactics or strategy. And he has only led Suna for a very brief time. What qualified him for such a role? He also has as much experience with war as the rookies. It's a risky choice when you could have named the more intelligent and far more experienced Kakashi. Or Onoki. Or Shikaku Nara. But we already saw that this choice of Gaara will work out in the long run.
There is no getting around it. The rookies are going to shine. In our current battle we have an 18 year old leading, and two 17 year olds playing major roles. And this will be repeated for every division. Quote:

And despite being a jonin, Temari is much less qualified than Shikamaru to lead an army. I say that as her biggest fan. She is not as intelligent or as talented a strategist. Hell, she is not even as experienced since she never fought and defeated Akatsuki. So far her greatest contributation in Shippuden was saving a samurai from buring. Shika might also be in charge for plot reasons. Temari might have requested Shikamaru be put in charge since I don't know how Gaara would have thought of that on his own. It's not he has any experience with Shikamaru like she does. She seems to enjoy pushing him.

I don't think the ranks actually mean much to the experienced shinobi. I mean it was a big deal in Part 1 but that was from the perspective of inexperienced genin. For them the chunin exams was a big deal. Now it's absolutely nothing.

^ I agree. In the first part we saw how much Jonin is stronger then genins (Kakshi vs Zabuza), and ranking was a big thing back then. But now we have genins who can shoot fire out of their eyes.
About the war I would like to see one on one fights while in background other ninja fights. The only thing that I found disappointing is Zetsu clones. The whole talk between Naruto and Nagato is how Naruto will face the war and ninja hatred. But how can they face that hatred when they are fighting clones. I would have liked to see ninja vs ninja fights. Where when enemy ninja kills someone their family/friends want stop until they killed him and then the other side will want revenge to, creating the circle of hate. But you will not have this with fighting clones. In the end Naruto was supposed to find the answer to this, and become legendary ninja.

He won a 1on1 fight against Hidan and at the same time he defeated one of the Kakuzu's hearts. If the konoha council studied Kakashi's report on the mission they should definitely give him that title. Kakashi was much weaker when he got his jounin title, also Temari being jounin while Shika is only chuunin in this war would be awkward. Everybody has the same outfit now, so for now Kishi can hide Shikamaru being a jounin if he wants to I think Sasuke should not be listed among the alliance forces, and only white zetsu should be listed. It seems that Madara is hiding them from Kabuto, he fears that if Kabuto has a chance to take black zetsu or Sasuke he will betray Madara and escape from the battlefield just like he escaped from turtle island after capturing Yamato. However Madara might deploy black zetsu and Sasuke in a far away place: to capture B and Naruto. Last edited by Ero-Senn1n; 2010-11-22 at 14:10. |

This war is BS. Everyone will fight as if it's some PvP online game. They will farm on NPC Zetsus and respawn when killed in the nearest town. I can almost see the game before my eyes next year on the stores.
Shounen and wars don't go along well. No war I can remember was about people being killed by the thousands and staying dead. Oh well, at least there is Legend of Galactic Heroes to remind me of an era when such trivial things such as the tragedy of death meant something. Botom line, I don't care. |

Huh. Just noticed Mifune was put in charge of a squad of ninja. Yet he's a samurai. Shouldn't there be a samurai division or something?
Quote:
I agree with Dede that Shika being de facto leader of a squad that questions his strength and competence will end up being a plot point. He'll have to earn the respect of everyone (except Temari and Chouji) by proving to be an awesome strategist chp 494. Quote:
I'm just wondering how Naruto's going to enter this war. I mean, it kind of sucks he's not in squad or anything. He has to be the loner type hero when everyone else is relying on teamwork.

we know that Madara's goal is to capture the 2 demons, which means he can deploy Sasuke and Black Zetsu against the 4 kages+B+Naruto now, since they are far away from Kabuto's greedy eyes. And he can teleport to that location when Black-Zetsu signals him. At that point in time he can be sure that both the ninja army and Kabuto are too far away to mess with his plans. Then it's EMS and rinnegan against the 4 kages (i guess the kages want to hide B and Naruto). Also Gaara is conveniently not there, so Kishi can save Gaara's life that way If we look at it this way that means that whoever is in the army is in a safe place and whoever is guarding Naruto and B is probably doomed And of course the 4 kages will lose and B and Naruto will have to save the day somehow. I guess Kishi will again make it so that Sasuke does not kill people but Madara kills them, keeping Sasuke's hands clean is becoming a major plot hole The other possible solution for that is revival in the end, so even if Sasuke kills all 4 kages they'll be revived and of course Sasuke's evilness forgotten |

Powerful ninja can still coordinate with weaker ninja, even in combat situations (Chiyo and Sakura are good example of that). Even though depending on the enemy, there's time where the weaker ones need to step aside. Still I get your point and there's truth to it. I just don't like the fact that Naruto has become so disjointed from the rest of the story. He's always at least been part of a team in name, but now he's not really part of anything. Everyone's going to fight on the front lines while he stays behind. He doesn't even get a kickass flak jacket! Naruto's definitely going to enter the fray eventually, but he'll probably charge in like a hot-head as usual. Quote:

Sauske is not a conscientious objector in this war. He was really the one who set off this war back at the Kage Summit. He is considered an enemy of the Five Great Ninja Nations and a world-wide criminal. He is really no different than Kabuto. Only following Madara until he betrays him for his own goals. But until he does, he should be counted on Madara's side. Personally I believe it will be Sasuke who will capture Kirabi, dealing a major blow to the Alliance. Kirabi has to die so Naruto is the last jin.
