I don't think Uchiha Madara used Genjutsu to control the Kyuubi. I think he just summoned him, and/or made a bargain.

 

first of all he wasn't even controling it. It was a summon jutsu so strong only Madara could do it. No one can control something like that. Not even a hundred madara.

 

First of all I never said that he was controlling. What I said was a jab at the common cliche in fanfiction with Orochimaru controlling Kyuubi with a genjutsu. At no point did I remotely hint that Madara used a genjutsu or controlled Kyuubi.

I award you no points and may God have mercy on your souls.

 

ah damn! sorry about that man. My bad on my part. Well, either way, from the looks of it, naruto manga is going to come to a conclusion...or close to it, i hope.

 

You think the manga is ending soon? I hope not. There is still a lot to cover: the rest of Akatsuki being killed off and I can't see Naruto being able to defeat Pein or Konan anytime soon, more about his parents/family secrets, Kabuto/Orochimaru combination, romance (something Kishi said he wants to have in PTS), etc just to name a few. I can't see the manga ending until Naruto is made Hokage or he dies.

I hope the manga has stuff like him training his own genin team.

 

That'd be going on waaay to long. I hope the epilogue is something like three genins, each representing the three (Naruto/Sasuke/Sakura, Obito/Kakashi/Rin, Jiraiya/Orochimaru/Tsunade ect...) Their sensei is late. Sensei show's up, is Naruto/Hokage, and we draw a bunch of parallels.

Last panel ends with Naruto holding up the bells, and a quick flashback to Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura united for the first time as genin.

 

everything ends in flashbacks with naruto ending up as a Hokage. That would make more sense than having there own mini me's of the next generation.

 

I happened to think the generation by generation parallels are more important than Naruto's "dream". The concept of Hokage has take a total backseat role to that of friendship and "precious people/will of fire".

 

After reading chapter 381, I'm even more confused as to what the hell Pain is but I suppose it'll be revealed in the next chapter... well, at least I hope it is.

 

Fuck who pain is, I dont want jiraiya of the epic win to die. So hope that it was a shadow clone.

 

Atleast he'd die an epic battle of someone worthy.

 

heh! thats for sure. but no one was there to witness it. Not to mention the fact that he only killed one of the...body. So if pain isn't nagato, the original rin user, then what is? Wait...i'm getting more confused. My brain hurts.

 

Well they revealed that none of the six pains are Nagato, so I'm wondering if Nagato is sitting in some cave controlling all their movements.

 

So... six pains... how many Bijuu do Akatsuki have again?

Is it six? Cause... that'd make some sense...

 

I don't think he meant 'How many Bijuu are there'.

He was talking about how many Akatsuki has.

Edit: Stooge boy.

 

I'm pretty sure he's asking how many bijuu Akatsuki have collected up to this point in time, not how many there are total. You stooge.
