Seems like Obito can't go ethereal (yet) while host to the Juubi. |
Could be any. In fact, it doesn't matter too much, as if he does become ethereal again, all they need to do is have Kakashi Kamui someone into that dimension, and lie in wait for him. At least in that dimension, we know Obito can't become intangible again. _________________ Purge the Mutant. Destroy the Alien. Eradicate the Heretic. Burn the Furry.

So is this still the place where we chat about Naruto manga weekly?
Anyone's also bugged by the fact that there's a constant power-up-chakra-regaining event on the last few numbers?
Also, I feel things are starting to run out of control: senjutsu + kyuubi chakra? "Bad" part of kyuubi sealed away? Fourth is able to ignite Kyuubi's chakra without training? Now Sasuke's the next Hokage wannabe (I still hope he's secretly plotting to kill everyone)?.
I still enjoy this manga, I find it extremely awesome. I love the world and the setting, but I can't help the feeling everything is mixing up and raging forward messing up things. _________________ Oden! Guide our ships, our axes, spears and swords!

In fairness, the "bad" part of the Kyuubi seems to be in Naruto. Given how angry it was up till recent chapter. The darker version in Minato, was the half sealed inside him with the Death God, seems rather ambivalent. We've know for a fair while that Naruto has only contained half of the Kyuubi's chakra.
And yeah, the Fourth seems to be able to use Kyuubi's chakra, but after spending some 16 years inside the Shinigami's stomach with little else to do, I still think it isn't the weirdest thing that's happened in the manga.
But I CAN agree with the "chakra power-up" running out of control spiel. Because right now, Naruto seems to be pulling off stunts that seem almost worthy of gods. It's quickly turning into Superman, with Naruto being "as powerful as he needs to be". I'm going to be interested in how Kishimoto finishes this, because I as most people probably are, have been gearing up for a final boss fight between Naruto and Sasuke at one point. And right now, it seems Sasuke won't stand a chance. _________________ Purge the Mutant. Destroy the Alien. Eradicate the Heretic. Burn the Furry.

And with that latest chapter, the Narutoverse just took a even more grimdark turn than even I thought possible. And good lord, I'm into WH40K... _________________ Purge the Mutant. Destroy the Alien. Eradicate the Heretic. Burn the Furry.

Well to be honest, I think any version would be better than a weird ninja version of the Eve and the Apple story. |

That's all on perspective isn't it? As stated by Madara all chakra belonged to the tree to begin with as it's simply taking what belongs to it.
Now the confusion comes in when we know that even nonja and other living things possess chakra but can't manipulate it... but there was people before shinobi who existed alongside the tree before the Rikudo Sennin's mom stole it.
Edit: thinking it over and skimming back though, if I read correctly him and his mother were the first humans that possessed chakra. So with the intermingling and passage of time I guess I answered my own query... _________________

That leaves a suggestion of animal / human intermingling, or humans somehow infusing animals with chakra. |

Are you kidding? The shark has been jumped, circled, jumped again, hunted down, harpooned, and served for lunch.
There is no shark anymore. He's moved on to jumping 300 foot ponies that are covered in chainsaws. _________________ Be careful when you follow the masses, because sometimes the 'm' is silent. |

The shark's been jumped so much that the 1-UP mushrooms are popping out of the shark.
The Shark Owned counter has overflowed to negative numbers. |

Eh, I don't trust deaths in manga/anime unless I get a definite "he's dead Jim" line. |

Yeah, watching Shikamaru die was a kick in the bawls. But yeah, considering we've got at least 2 characters with the Rinnegan, I'm not ruling out that people will be resurrected. And besides, he's not had a huge flashback yet of his life flickering before his eyes, so I'd say he's coming back. Both Jiraiya, Danzo, even Itachi (through a Genjutsu) and probably some others I forgot have had them, so I'm confident our favorite Shadow User isn't down for the count. _________________ Purge the Mutant.

My money goes to the "kill the tree, release everyone's chakra" resurrect thing.
After all, one more mass resurrection would not hurt anyone :p
Still, I liked a lot Sasuke's going forward and pushing Naruto. Also, Orochimaru still has to play his cards. _________________ Oden! Guide our ships, our axes, spears and swords! Guide us through storms that whip and in brutal war!

I'm still waiting for when Sasuke combines his Susanoo with Naruto's Kyuubi form like Madara did with Kurama during his original battle with Hashirama. |

Cheating is such a strong word..... most players would consider things clever thinking. Even as a GM, I think it was pretty good. _________________ Purge the Mutant. Destroy the Alien. Eradicate the Heretic. Burn the Furry.

It's perfectly legit and not really an ass-pull, if only because Sasuke had gained the curse seal and the curse seal showed it's connections to Senjutsu when Kabuto used it. |

Took 'em long enough, but I called it.
Though, not like it wasn't going to obviously happen. Question is, though, is Juugo going to add his chakra for Senjutsu Susano'o armor over Senjutsu Kyuubi form or will Naruto's Senjutsu chakra bleed over to the Susano'o? |
