The Naruto Thread (Spoiler warnings, both Anime and Manga)

erm, who was it that saved kakashi's ass from zabuza?

[Londo Mollari]

nah i reckon kakashi could have beaten zabuza one on one

but point taken, they worked well then, i mean they came up with a really gd plan in no time

[Zekk]

it was technically naruto that came up with the plan, but sasuke helped exacute it without talking to naruto about it at all. they're teamwork then was on the highest level its ever been i think, every other time they've always argued and fought or tried to hard to compete

[Londo Mollari]

the fact that they don't want to look weak in front of each other helps too

[Zekk]

thats also the greatest flaw in their teamwork too, though...

[Londo Mollari]

perhaps, we could debate that for a long time and get nowhere. Now, lets assume that they do form a team. What are the rest of hebi gonna do? and will Kakashi be team leader?

[Zekk]

well, if they work together it will probably be more like sasuke and hebi being allies of kakashi and the others.

as sasuke is now, and with his past still heavy on everyone, i don't think he'll easily come back to kanoha. but forming an allegiance with naruto and the others is a fair possibility, especially concidering who they're up against.

[Londo Mollari]

true, konoha and hebi both oppose akatsuki, makes sense that they would ally

i wanna know how gaara's powers have been affected!

[Zekk]

gaara's probably fine. the only time ive seen him use his demon powers was against naruto, even in the battle above his city against the akatsuki he was only using his normal abilities. so he should be fine.

[Londo Mollari]

yeh, but was his mastery over sand due to Shakaku? we saw him use sand to make Naruto shake his hand, however, he may not have such good control

if he does however retain his mastery of sand, creating shields and weps etc, then its likely that he will be STRONGER than before. I'm guessing that (as with Naruto) his natural chakara is partly used up in order to seal the bijuu. Without a bijuu he will have more available chakara = more pwnage

plus he can get a good nights sleep now

[Zekk]

well, whether he's stronger or weaker he doesnt seem to be involved with the akatsuki battle atm...so meh

[Londo Mollari]

he will eventually i reckon, he is a foe of akatsuki and is like a brother to naruto

[Zekk]

yeah, but...akatsuki's gonna be down a few numbers after these current battles are over...so he wont have much to do

[Londo Mollari]

yeh, they have lost 4 members in almost no time

who's the next member that they'll lose ?

[Zekk]

next is itachi, then is kisame, and...hmm...dunno after that.
