Line 10:
== Henge no Jutsu transforms the user entirely. Fill in the following plot hole: Why ninjas never exploit this. ==
You mean the lack of [[Shapeshifter Weapons]]? Because they probably have other tequniques that do the same thing but better, meaning Transformation Technique would serve as a basis for other, more advanced techniques.
* Naruto transformed the Boss Toad into a giant fox, while fighting Shukaku specifically because they needed something with huge claws.
Line 18:
* May not be that far off. Naruto went all the way to eight tails against Pain, and was just a few seconds off from gaining the ninth tail
* This troper always assumed Sasuke would be the final villain, but the story would steadily build up to Naruto finally being forced to kill his first, best friend for the sake of the world.
* Most likely he will be the [[Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds|woobie destroyer of worlds]] if that happens.

Line 29:
*** But how does that explain Sasuke's flashback of the end of his fight with Itachi? With Sasuke out of chakra, back against the wall, Itachi slowly walking towards him with an all-but-invincible defensive technique in full force, the fight all but finished, only to have Itachi {{spoiler|smile, tap Sasuke's forehead in that beloved big brother way he used to do before his [[Face Heel Turn]], and say, "Sorry, Sasuke. There won't be a next time."}} before he collapses. If {{spoiler|Madara were lying and Itachi telling the truth}} then why did he seemingly throw the fight when his ultimate goal was his for the taking?
**** Sasuke's flashback? False memory. I think the [[Big Bad]] may have the power to literally screw with people's heads to a small degree. Sasuke believed it because he WANTED to believe it...pun not intended. As for Itachi...he wasn't telling the whole truth eithier.
**** Given that the internal damage of using Susanoo and the disease eating Itachi up from the inside means he's basically a ''walking corpse'' by the time he reaches Sasuke, I think of the "Tobi is lying" interpretation of that scene as Itachi knowing he's done for, and as his life flashes before his eyes, he takes pity on Sasuke and decides to use his last words to pretend to be a caring older brother one last time...while setting up a posthumous deathtrap for Madara.
== Kankuro will use the Ten Puppets of Chikamatsu. ==
Why do I guess this? Because it's a darn shame to let ten ancient and powerful puppets rot in pieces in the rubble of some destroyed Akatsuki base. At some point, Kankuro will go there, pick up those poor dolls, fix them, learn to use them, and finally wield them against the main bad guys. It'd be pretty awesome.
* If there's another timeskip, that's more than possible.
* Oddly enough, Kankuro reappeared and it appears that his new puppet is ''[https://web.archive.org/web/20110913022204/http://read.mangashare.com/Naruto/chapter-458/page004.html Sasori himself]''.
== Orochimaru knew about the True Origins of Konoha, and was plotting to take out Madara ==
Line 46:
2. It is shown by Danzo and Kakashi that you can get the Sharingan without being Uchiha.
3. Naruto could get the Sharingan from Itachi's "gift" or, failing that, Itachi's corpse
4. Naruto's fighting could be divvied up into 5 styles, Shadow clones, summoning, Rasengan, Kyuubi power, and Sage mode. Rinnegan would make this 6 styles or 6 PATHS
* This troper respectfully disagrees with ideas. I think that given blood relations between Nagato Uzumaki and Naruto Uzumaki, it's possible that Naruto simply inherted [[Blood Line]] Limit Rinnegan from Sage. However, it's possible that Nine-tails somehow surpressing Limit. Otherwise it's possible that Naruto indeed become that sort of badass.
* Yahiko is the one related to Naruto. Nagato is not.
Line 55:
* The second point; approaching Konoha's walls from the outside, the area inside the walls is ''maybe'' a quarter-mile across; from inside, you can see miles of city from the top of Hokage Rock. Either the city is built partly into an alternate dimension or a standing genjutsu is used to make it smaller on the approach.
** OR, the city is a gigantic Tardis that cannot be moved, because the owner, the 1st Hokage, had died, and he was the only one who knew how to use it. To answer the problem about his regenerations, he used them all up before he came there.
** [[Genre Savvy]] may also be involved in keeping our view limited. Well-developed fictional cities tend to be [[Crapsack World
** While we're at it, what does the Troper Hive Mind think of the generally hit-or-miss attitude towards military discipline being [[Justified Trope|justified]] by [[Weird Trade Union|the Leaf shinobi being unionized]]?
*** Come to think of it, the ninja organization is more like a guild than an army or even a corporation.
Line 63:
== At the end of the series, Naruto will ''not'' become the Hokage ==
Instead the series will end with him being a popular candidate for Hokage. Also, the final chapter will have Naruto re-taking the Chunnin Exam so he can finally get Chunnin rank, and the final fight will be Naruto vs. Konohamaru, who has [[Took a Level
* Or alternatively, Naruto will stop wanting to be Hokage as a way to get respect from the village when he realizes he already has it.
** Under either of the above scenarios, he would then resign from the ninja corps and take over Ichiraku Ramen from the retiring Teuchi.
Line 75:
*** If you look at their mentors, it makes sense. Jiraiya admits he's not really hokage material and suggests Tsunade in his place. (after she works on her issues) I think the analogy to Sakura and Naruto holds.
**** In Episode 10, when Team 7 is doing the tree climbing, Kakashi suggests that Sakura, based on her chakra control, is better fit to be Hokage than Naruto is. Then again, he was probably just trying to get a reaction out of Naruto. Jiraiya also notes that part of the reason why he didn't want to become Hokage is because of his need to investigate Orochimaru and the Akatsuki, so when the time comes that Naruto could be considered for Hokage, not only will his current issues with Sasuke most likely have been resolved, but he may well be mentally ready (Orochimaru claims that Jiraiya is stupid, and he is shown acting like Naruto did in the bell training exercise).
*** My theory is that Naruto will become Hokage in a [[Distant Finale]] that takes place
*** If so, would the kids possess small parts of the Kyuubi? Or will they be [[Ninja Pirate Zombie Robot|normal kids with the Byakugan and little whisker marks]]? (Well, about as normal as you can get with those traits.)
* Another option is that he's going to become something more, redefining what being a Ninja is about for ''everyone'', and instead becoming something like "The Sage of Eight/Nine Paths"
Line 83:
* Alternatively, Tobi is the ghost of the real Madara (and Obito is in no way involved), who actally did die at the Valley of the End, but remains earthbound due to the power of the Eternal Mangekyo. This would explain why attacks just phased through him (that time/space jutsu explanation sounded awfully fishy) and his reason for capturing the bijuu: he's building himself a new body out of the most powerful beings in the world.
** I would like to add to this. I feel that Tobi is Madara's chakra and soul, and as he consists of chakra, he can use jutsu. Having an advanced sharingan, he can also modify his chakra to take on various chakra types. He could have at leased added earth to his collection, and seems to have some physical interaction (the catching of Zabuza's sword) because he uses a small bit of earth chakra to make a surface for contact. He's a ghost that wants his body back, based on his comment about the Rinne Tensei.
*** Him being some sort of ghost is tinted to be true by Madara stating {{spoiler|"It's to become complete"}} when asking why he wants the tailed beasts, and earlier when he said he was planning on {{spoiler|Pain using his [[Back
*** This is also supported by him saying that {{spoiler|"The wound the First Hokage delt me was too great,"}}
*** Even better, what if Tobi is actually the spirit of the Sage of Six Paths son? (The one who founded Uchiha) and is the true big bad behind Madara?
**** Considering the hints given that Tobi {{spoiler|may not really be Madara}}, and the frequency with which fan theories have called revelations ahead of time with this series, this may actually turn out to be good as canon!!
* There are more hints of him being a ghost, but at the same time more hints of him being a living being during his fight against Danzo's bodyguards. He can phase through solid objects instead of just letting them pass through him, but at the same time, he can't be both tangible and intangible at the same time- and it's quite possibly linked to his Sharigan, seeing as he's tangible during his OHKO jutsu, and is affected by an Aburame jutsu when he uses it once to the point that he can't just warp out of it. And it's not a matter of him willing himself to be tangible- {{spoiler|He tore off his arm and kicked it at someone as an offensive maneuver.}}
Line 92:
Tobi isn't the Mizukage or Danzo or Madara or anything silly like that. That's like saying Osama Bin Laden was secretly Vladimir Putin, Dick Cheney and ''Hitler'', and nobody ever noticed. Tobi is a nonentity who impersonates famous ninja for kicks. Sharigan? ''Contact lens''.
* Tobi's a... ''cosplayer?''
** ^ [[TV Tropes Made of Win Archive]].
*** Er... Jossed. Tobi/Madara/ {{spoiler|whoever the hell is under that mask}} used the power of the Sharingan and the {{spoiler|Rinnengan}} to survive his fight with Konan.
*** Not Jossed at all. Kakashi is living proof that you don't have to be an Uchiha to have a Sharingan. And given the recent revelation that {{spoiler|whoever's under that mask, it's definitely NOT Madara}}, this is looking more likely all the time.
Line 124:
Shouton AKA the Crystal Element is the result of Earth and Ice. Think about it, the Ice element can form crystaline forms while the Earth element can provides the materials the Crystal element would need. The careful combination results with Crystals.
* Considering that ice itself is a combination of wind and water which can only apparently be made using the bloodline limit Haku had, I'd think it'd be easier to just say it's a special kind of earth release.
* Here's what we know about it as far as [[Elemental Rock
** Naruto's Wind/Water combo jutsu is '''effective'''
** Yamato's Wood jutsu (Earth/water) is '''ineffective'''
Line 130:
** Based on that evidence, I'd suggest it's a hybrid of Earth(since Lightning works well against it) and Lightning (since Naruto's Wind/Water jutsu worked well but Yamato's Earth/Water one did not). Hybrid jutsus tend to have one nature take dominance over the other when determining vulnerability; Sasuke's fire jutsus were useless against Haku's wind/water Ice jutsus, and Naruto and Yamato's wind/water combo defeated Kakuzu's wind-strengthened fire, even though it seemed as though Naruto's wind might make Kakuzu's fire even stronger (Yamato's Earth/Water jutsu is weak against both of the Crystal element's natures).
== Itachi knew and greatly admired the Fourth Hokage
Itachi called Naruto "The Fourth Hokage's legacy" meaning that he was aware of Naruto's parentage since the beginning (taking into consideration that very few people knew of the Fourth's son, after all Minato said that there would be trouble it such thing was public), his attitude towards Naruto and the facts that he constantly delayed his capture, he was also smiling when Naruto defeated his fake body and that all of these was ''before'' Itachi fully realized of the bond Naruto had with Sasuke. Could it mean that all of it was out of respect of a person? Madara also mentioned that Itachi witnessed war when he was 4, most likely he means the Third Ninja War, in which Minato was a hero. Could the young Itachi met Minato there? Did Minato save his life? If so then it would not be surprising that he grew looking up to him, inspired by his talent and his devotion to the village. The Fourth's death must have also affected him profoundly, so he became determined to excel in everything and protect the village at all costs.
* It's highly possible that he knew the Minato, as Kushina was friends with his mother (as shown in chapter 500). Of course doing the Math, Itachi was only 5 when Minato died, so he couldn't have known him that well.
== Pain's Gedo Rinne Tensei no Jutsu uses stored life energy ==
Line 155:
Naruto will then bust out the Seal given to him by the Great Seal Frog and, much in the same manner that Obito gave Kakashi the Sharingan, Naruto will use the seal to give Sasuke the Nine-tails Fox within him.
Sasuke will stand up completely healed, and being an Uchiha, will have full control over the powers of the Nine-tails within him.
* I think this is very likely, based on the pattern established throughout the generations. I read [http://annwyd.livejournal.com/221279.html here] that the team template is based off of a Toad-Slug-Snake pattern, where the toad is [[The Hero]] with a relatively lighthearted personality, the slug is [[The Heart]] who keeps the team together, and the snake is the [[Anti
== [[Fan Nickname|Kabuchimaru]] will be the ultimate [[Big Bad]] after the Akatsuki is defeated. ==

== Kiba will gain a new version of Beast Mimicy jutsu ==
Line 167:
== The series will have a bitter sweet ending. ==
Naruto will eventally gain his ambition, he will gain a girl that loves him but he will lose some one important probally sasuke, who is likely to die in some heroic sacerfise or a last battle. With Sasukes death one era will end and a new one will start.
== The will of fire is the product of social engineering ==
Line 184:
Since {{spoiler|Minato told Naruto that the Kyuubi attack was Madara's doing}} it's clear Madara's lying to manipulate Sasuke. It's possible that the segregation of the Uchiha clan, it's revolt, and Itachi's involvement in the massacre were all made up as well and Itachi merely took the blame for something Madara did all by himself. But what seems weird is that when Madara told his "story" to Sasuke he seemed to single out Danzo and the two advisers as the evil ones, while the 3rd was still labeled as the good natured, father-like man he always was. Given that the 3rd and the advisers were trained by the 1st, I believe they tried to help him fight Madara and learned some key piece of info about Madara, like a weakness. To kill off the three elders, he's turned Sasuke into his personal assassin and will stand back while Sasuke does the dirty work. It would explain why Madara never just teleported into Konoha and grabbed Naruto.
== The newly introduced Swordsman of the Mist, Chojuro's Weapon is in fact [[
Well, he's one of the seven ninja ''swords''men of the Mist, and though most of his weapon is wrapped up in clothe we can see it has two handles that are tethered together. Additionally, [http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/naruto/images/7/7b/Seven_swordsmen.jpg group silhouette for the swordsmen]{{Dead link}} has a figure on the far right which is probably Chojuro (short spiky hair, headphones) holding two blades in his hands closely together.
* Twenty to one he's going to have red hair if he does have Swordchucks.
** [https://web.archive.org/web/20100726212829/http://www.onemanga.com/Naruto/489/02-03/ No, he has blue-gray hair.]
== Tobi is simulataneously everyone who has ever lived and died in the Narutoverse and just pretends to be different people for the lulz. ==
Line 204:
== The Demon King Statue that the Akatsuki has been placing Biju in won't do what people expect it to. ==
Seriously, every time an evil person or organization has to collect things to power a weapon, it NEVER does what it's supposed to. It works fine right up until the last item is added, at which point it promptly changes from [[Kill Sat]] to [[Apocalypse How|Class 5 Apocalypse or greater.]] It'll either begin to explode, come to life and try to kill them, or set free an [[Eldritch Abomination]] to try to kill them.
* It will try to kill them all, and the warning sign will be a seemingly random list of powers called off from within the statue ending with [[What Kind of Lame Power Is Heart, Anyway?|Heart]] from The Kyuubi, causing a mysterious new voice to call out "[[All Your Powers Combined|By your powers combined]] I am [[Captain Planet|Captain Apocolypse]]"
== The Land of Iron is just east of the Land of Wind and west of the Land of Fire ==
Line 244:
* Naruto: He said that he can't tell Sakura how he feels as long as he hasn't fulfilled his promise to bring Sasuke back (which was before he found out that Hinata loves him). He's thus unlikely to confess to Sakura before then for that reason. Then again, it also seems somewhat unlikely that he will reciprocate Hinata's love at this stage, unless she somehow convinces him that even if he hasn't fulfilled his promise, he's stayed faithful to it without giving up and that's what matters.
** Chapter 450 works as evidence against [[Naru Saku]] simply because [[Values Dissonence Hugs Are So Much More Significant In Japanese Culture]]. Sakura hugs Naruto, and what does Naruto do? He just stands there, arms at his side, which is a rather awkward position. Embracing her would be easy to do, not to mention more comfortable, but he doesn't. So basically, Sakura made an overtly romantic gesture and Naruto ignored it.
*** Not to mention Sasuke/Naruto . . . don't look at me like that!
From what we know, Sasuke is not only a missing part of the [[Love Dodecahedron]], but Naruto and Sakura have unresolved issues with him that they will most likely have to deal with even if they decide to look elsewhere for love.
Line 257:
== The [[Love Triangle|Team 7 Triangle]] will be [[Unrequited Love Switcheroo|reversed]] ==
Sakura seems to be beginning to see how much she means to Naruto and exploring the possibility of how much Naruto in turn means to her. However, she also sees how much Hinata cares for Naruto and will therefore [[I Want My Beloved to Be Happy|step off to the side if Naruto chooses to pursue Hinata]]. Meanwhile, if Sasuke ever gets redeemed, he might come to understand how much his team, particularly Sakura, meant to him. However, [[Word of God|Kishimoto]] explicitly stated that Sakura's feelings for Sasuke were a shallow crush and her dedication to him seems to be as a friend and former comrade rather than romantic. Therefore the very emotionally stunted and socially awkward Sasuke who has always been fawned over by women will be at a disadvantage in both his feelings and pursuit of Sakura. This [[Love Dodecahedron]] most likely will be resolved offscreen a la [[
* Kishimoto said her constantly stalking Sasuke was a weakness she had that was part of her being human. I think by the time Sasuke left Konoha, she had started to truly care for him rather than having a shallow crush on him, which possibly shows that while her feelings were still for Sasuke, she was starting to overcome her weakness. Whether she still has feelings for him, he does for her or ever will, or if the two get together are separate matters, though.
** Kishimoto didn't say that Sakura's crush was shallow. He said her love for Sasuke was true and genuine, while Ino's was the shallow crush.
Line 276:
This troper believes that after learning about Madara Uchia's deceptions, he will atone for causing so much trouble among the hidden villages by seeking to take down the one responsible for a large part of the Uchiha's downtrodden reputation. He will desire to become the Hokage as a way to wipe the slate clean from the Uchiha's dark past; these actions may prompt him to let go of his hatred, have a reason to fight other than revenge, and possibly become a happier person.
* This troper sees it similar to the plan given in Nugar's fanfic ''People Lie'' - Sasuke will be the Hokage, while Naruto will rule all the Shinobi villages; in other words, Naruto will be Kage, and Sasuke will be his Ho :-)
** ''[[TV Tropes Made of Win Archive]]''!
== Near the end Naruto will die for the world's sins. ==
* No really, since Naruto is [[The Messiah]] it is only natural that he will be the sacrificial lamb and offer himself to die in other to end the cycle of hatred, after all, it has been implied by Yamato that the only way to end it is that one side to "give in" and swallow its tears. Oh and to complete the messianic attibutes he will then be resurrected from the dead. '''Naruto, the savior of the world!'''
** Alternatively, in a subversion of this, the Fox will be the thing that allows him to be ressurected. Are you a savior if you've been ressurected by one of the settings ultimate evils?
== The Byakugan is an offshoot of the Sharingan. ==
Line 300:
== There's an additional step to the Sharingan. ==
Basically confirmed in the latest chatper (464), when Sasuke calls his the Double Sharingan.
* No, he just means he got the Mangekyo Sharingan working for both eyes and thus can use Susanoo at full power, as oppose to a minute ago where he had only Amaterasu and a partial power Susanoo.
== Follow up from the above. The more powerful a Sharingan gets, the more bound their are to 'Susanoo' and 'The Darkness.' ==
What's more, The Darkness is the [[Sealed Evil in
== Sasuke will end up releasing Orochimaru. AGAIN ==
Although his Susanoo looks different than Itachi, since Itachi transferred his powers into him it seems quite possible that the blade thing Sasuke's made was also the Sword of Totsuka/Sakenagi Longsword/whatever it's call. Orochimaru had his mind sealed by it and since it sucked in most of his body his mind was probably put ''into'' it, so it seems the illusion may only last while he is in contact with the blade. Sasuke using it may end up accidently releasing a piece of his body that Orochimaru puts his mind in by trying to use it ([[How Do I Shot Web?|wouldn't be the first time he's made such a mistake]]) and it could combine back with <s>[[Fan Nickname|Kabuchimaru]]</s> Kabuto to give him a functional (though probably temporary) body.

== Tobi's plan will backfire spectacularly and Naruto will have to become the Juubi jinchuriki in order to save the world. ==
The [[Big Bad]] trying to take power from [[Sealed Evil in
== Tobi will succeed in his plan, but lose to Naruto. ==
Line 329:
== The place Madara sent Karin and Sasuke is a dimension within his own eye ==
When he sends both of them in there is looks like they're sucked into a vortex centered around his eye. So it's like Kamui but it doesn't [[Portal Cut|rip whatever it touches apart]] (or tire out the user). This might mean that the one way to attack without him phasing through it to [[Go for
== Madara ''IS'' the Juubi. ==
Not only is he planning to unleash the super-evil Juubi, but told Kakashi and company that he's planning to make himself a new body. The real answer is, he found the Juubi long ago and it told him how to get the Mangekyo, and then ate his mind when he did. It's also why he's still alive: He's the Juubi's consciousness.
** {{Spoiler| Since it's revealed Madara was actually dead and has been revived by Kabutochimaru, Tobi never was Madara Uchiha, but someone totally different}}. Considering his weird powers, his goals and the fact he always covers his face, one can theorize [[Humanoid Abomination|he is not exactly human.]] Also, if you consider the Juubi's Sharingan-mixed-Rinnegan massive eye, and the fact Tobi's mask now resembles Juubi's freaking eye, what does that tell you?
** Perhaps Tobi is a manifestation of the Juubi seeking to re-unify itself
Line 346:
** Well, if the WMG about Sasuke being Madara's son is right, than maybe he's trying to make Sasuke switch eyes so he can take Sasuke's eyes for himself. We've only seen one eye on Madara.
* "I won't let such a power fall out of my hands"? It still could mean mean that he will steal Sasuke's eyes. He might clump a bunch of sharingan eyes including Sasuke's into one big eye for the juubi, who's eye looks like an utra sharingan. A BIG one.
* Given his more recent statement about taking Shisui's eye from Danzo's corpse, this seems like it might be true after all.
* Given even more recent development, I don't think he's got Itachi's eyes anymore... since he gave Sasuke them. Which also begs the question of what, if anything, is sitting in the skull of that [[Nightmare Fuel|corpse Kabuto's carrying around.]]
== "Sab-chan" is Rock Lee's father ==
Seriously, just [https://web.archive.org/web/20100729181237/http://www.onemanga.com/Naruto/468/14/ look at the guy]. Plus, he seems to be old enough and has a similar personality (and is just as over the top as Lee).
* Alternatively, He's Might Guy's. Same things apply for this one.
== Udon will be trained as a puppeteer ==
Think about it; Udon loves math. Math leads to engineering. The only real jutsu in the Naruto verse that can be described as "engineering" is the Puppet Master Jutsu. See where I'm going with this? Being a puppeteer would allow Udon to put all his mathy skills to good use and devise new and creative ways to kill people with [[Nightmare Fuel|creepy puppets]].
** This troper is getting so many ideas from this WMG it's not even funny. * Beggins doodling teen!Udon w/ creepy puppet.*
== The following characters are going to kick the bucket
* Neji
* Might Guy (probably from opening all Eight Gates)
Line 421:
== The Jubi has been sealed before. The [[After the End]] aspects of ''Naruto'' are a result of it being freed. ==
If the Jubi is as powerful and evil as has been implied, it can't have been wandering around. It had to have already been sealed before the Sage of Six Paths split and sealed it. The [[After the End]]/Anachronistic Technology things we run into are the fall out of the last time it was free.
== Samehada is the avatar of a cosmic horror. ==
Line 455:
== Naruto's own [[Determinator]] trope will be subverted real soon ==
Naruto is about to learn the painful lesson that there are times when you just [[Failure Is the Only Option|can't win]]. Sasuke does not want to reintegrate into Konoha's ranks, he has made his intention to destroy Konoha clear, and the rest of the village doesn't want him back. Now every one in the ninja world is telling him Sasuke is a lost cause. Even if Sasuke does make a [[Heel Face Turn]], what then? He's still the most wanted <s> man</s> [[Child Soldier|kid]] in world. Once Naruto realizes that Sasuke has no hope of redeeming himself with The 5 villages, he will - for the first time ever - give up on [[I Gave My Word|his own word]]. [[Dethroning Moment of Suck
== Tobi can detect other eyes that can use Sharingan with his Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan. ==
Madara stated that he had some way to track Sasuke when he blocked him going towards the Leaf Village because he failed to capture the 8-Tails, [[Required Secondary Powers|which explains how he's able to teleport without running into objects and always show up where other people are]]. However, as [https://web.archive.org/web/20110111060128/http://forums.narutofan.com/showthread.php?t=571784 this thread shows], any time he showed up in an area he hadn't been to before or wouldn't know someone was there a Sharingan user was nearby. This would also explain why he couldn't have found the hosts personally: he had no idea where they were and Zetsu scouts more effectively than random teleporting. Going with [[What Do You Mean Its Not Symbolic|the names of the other Mangekyo Sharingan techniques]], such an ability is likely to be called "Izanagi".
** {{spoiler|Change the name, as a jutsu known as Izanagi has been revealed that does otherwise.}}
Line 469:
**** Yeah, but we also know that the 4ths seal is quite different from other seals, and that he split the Kyuubi's chakra in half without creating another tailed beast. Any of those might explain what was happening without expanding it to impact all Jinchuriki ever.
== [[No Hugging, No Kissing|All of the shippers are wrong.]] ==
If this is true, Kishi played the fandom like instruments.
* The recent Jump Festa interview all but outright confirms this.
** The gist of what he was saying wasn't "none of the characters are ever going to be in romantic relationships with each other", it was "the story isn't [[Romantic Plot Tumor|suddenly]] [[Genre Shift|going to BE ABOUT]] those relationships".
*** When was it ever about the relationships?
Line 479:
== All of the love drama in the manga was never really about who ends up with who ==
Come on, this is a shonen. Jiraiya stated that being rejected by Tsunade was what made him a man, which means he didn't need to "get" any girl period. In reality, accepting that she didn't want to be with him was what made him grow up and accept reality. We don't pity him for not getting the woman he wanted; instead, we admire how he handled it. It's becoming obvious that dedicating yourself to love or power/vengeance cannot guarantee real happiness. In reality, people have to look within for a meaning in life, and be strong enough to not use other people to give life meaning, whether by loving them or hating them. Naruto became much stronger and more mature when he accepted Sakura's love for Sasuke, and later didn't accept her appealingly fake confession. Hinata nicely illustrates being able to maturely (and powerfully) express one's love without any regrets, and then be able to let go and move on without hinging your sense of self worth on another person's feelings and actions when she maturely handled Naruto not returning her feelings and didn't really sit around waiting for him to do so. Meanwhile, Sakura is walking towards her death because she still loves Sasuke and [[Shoot the Dog|wants to spare him from a life of darkness]]. So, Naruto may be the first manga to ever portray [[All Love Is Unrequited]] in a life affirming and positive way.
** Except we haven't really seen Hinata at all since this arc started, so we don't know what her feelings are right now or how Naruto actually reacted to her confession for that matter.
** Dude, get real. If he actually liked her, he would've shown it by now. Same thing with Sakura towards Naruto and Sasuke towards Sakura. The idea of Naruto liking Hinata back is based purely on wishful thinking as opposed to obvious facts. The obvious facts, provided by explicit canon admission and [[Word of God]], are these: Naruto loves Sakura. Sakura doesn't love Naruto back, and we have no reason to think she ever will; she still loves Sasuke. (who is only getting more evil and doesn't have romantic interest in anyone.) The words we're looking for are [[All Love Is Unrequited]] and [[No Hugging, No Kissing]].
** Naruto has NOT had an opportunity to think about Hinata's confession- he's been real busy ever since, going directly from healing to being out in the field. However, he has had a 'reaction'- going 6-tails when he realizes that Hinata's love will indeed be forever unrequited. When Sakura tells him that she's fallen in love with him, he calls bull and tells her angrily to get out of his sight. A major difference there- he's willing to accept the random girl, but doesn't even think about accepting the girl he actually loves. MY theory is that the next chapter that focuses on him will have him thinking through these things as well as about what to do with Sasuke.
** Right. Where in the text does it indicate Naruto accepted her feelings? Am I just too lazy and apathetic as a reader to read the fine print that's neccesary to shipping any of three big popular ships? Face it: there's nothing that supports Naruto liking Hinata aside from hopeful speculation. It's no different from arguing that Sakura actually has romantic feelings for Naruto despite the blatant evidence to the contrary or trying to say that Sasuke accepted Sakura's confession because of his "thank you" despite what happens later. Sorry if I'm coming off as an unromantic jerk- I only ship people when it's blindingly obvious both parties like each other and/or it seems inevitable they're going to at least try to be together in a romantic sense.
** P.S, this is a freaking battle shonen. We're not going to get a beautiful [[Love Epiphany]] from Naruto or anyone else. If you want that kind of relationship development, take [[One Piece|Oda's]] advice and read an actual romance manga. (can I suggest Bakuman? The hero ends up with the adorable shy girl with an uncanny resemblance to Hinata, and the development is really touching and satisfying.)
** Alternatively, Kishimoto is just deliberately creating a topic that automatically results in [[Internet Backdraft]] and [[Ship
** One possibility is that, like Fullmetal Alchemist, the couples will be confirmed in the last chapter of the manga but not necessarily given prominence in the plot.
*** Another is that Naruto isn't willing to start something with Hinata until the Sasuke thing is settled, or he's not sure how he feels about her yet. If he was just plain not interested, he could have just said so, and would have thanked her for trying to save him by now.
== Kushina was/is connected to Orochimaru and/or the Susanoo technique somehow. ==
Line 495 ⟶ 494:
== Orochimaru being sealed in the Suusano'o is all part of his [[Gambit Roulette]] for ultimate power. ==
Well, according to the original myth Suusano'o encountered the Orochi after he was expelled from heaven, and killed it. Well, now ''Orochi''maru has been sealed inside of the Suusano'o, which we know is connected to the Juubi, which appears to be the Super-Evil of the Naruto verse. And most Super Evil things that show up without any explanation, like the Juubi, turn out to have been expelled from heaven. Now, we know Madara plans to reconstitute the Juubi, and that it seems to require the powers of the Sharingan to do it. Well, when he uses the Susanno in the reconstruction ritual it'll work, but ultimately rather than ending up with Madara in control of the Juubi, it'll be Orochimaru. TLDR: Eventually Orochimaru return in the form of a giant-robot-demon-god-snake by stealing Madara's Juubi reconstruction ritual.
* Now that...would be EPIC! But he'd be completely restored into his original body, and probably crush Madara and Sasuke like maggots! MASASHI KISHIMOTO!!
Line 502 ⟶ 501:
== Sakura does not love Sasuke anymore. ==
The people who believe she does are, if memory serves, Naruto, Kakashi Sai, and Yamato. They're not exactly the poster children of balanced relationships.
* I suspect that Sai's wrong about her planning to kill Sasuke and/or her reasons for doing so, as most characters who attempt to predict a decision a character has not been shown making and the motives have been wrong about at least one (Yamato predicts that Sai was going to assassinate Sasuke, but Sai reveals that while he was ordered to do so, he's actually going to try to help Naruto bring him back). The number of lies and omissions from Sakura makes it hard to judge her by her words alone, but as of Chapter 481, it seems that {{spoiler|whatever she's planning, she's doing it alone}}].
== Itachi's gift to Naruto is actually twofold
The first part is a way to counter the Sharingan.
The second? Well, we can assume that Itachi knew about Kabutimaru when he gave Naruto some of his power...
Yeah, I think he gave him the Sussano'o.
Think about it: if we assume that Itachi knew Naruto's parentage, and that he likes terrible jokes, wouldn't it fit?
== Sasuke will eventually have a [[Heroic BSOD]] and speak to Itachi ==
If Itachi suspected that Sasuke would turn against Konoha when the truth came out about the Uchiha massacre, as shown when he gives Naruto his "[[Fan Nickname|crow job]]" in preparation for this, then he might have also had some way of passing on a final message to Sasuke, much like Minato prepared for Naruto. Sasuke will probably meet Itachi on some kind of [[Spirit World|spiritual plane]] where Itachi will apologize to Sasuke for hurting and deceiving him, but will deliver some [[Get a Hold of Yourself, Man!|well-deserved smack down]] for acting so crazily on his behalf. Hopefully this should resolve Sasuke's vengeance issues and set him back on the right path.
* If it fails it may show how Sasuke has completely

Line 520 ⟶ 519:
== Naruto has been in love with Hinata the whole time, but he doesn't know it yet. ==
Think about it: when has Naruto ever interacted with a married couple (or even a couple that had clearly been together for a long time), which would give him the opportunity to see what true love looks like? Normal children learn about love by observing their parents, but Naruto's parents died the day he was born. Indications are the Third's wife died a while ago, and Asuma and Kurenai kept their relationship secret until shortly before Asuma's death. There's no indication Naruto has ever met Teuchi's wife (if she's still alive), and Iruka, Kakashi and Jiraiya are all single. What he has seen is a whole bunch of girls swooning over Sasuke and calling it love. Naruto sees this and notes his similar feelings for Sakura, and he mistakes this for love. Meanwhile, he has feelings for Hinata that he doesn't recognize, but that do cause him to take off his mask in her presence and swear on her blood.
** This is a terrible idea. It would come off as a giant, contrived [[Ass Pull]] to anyone who doesn't obsess over the romance. What would be the point of this? What would Naruto's feelings be based on considering how little he's actually interacted with her, and how he doesn't really make an effort to include her in his life? And, dude, it's Sasuke who Naruto's pretty much Naruto's most important person and who he related to best. Because, durr durr, wow, platonic/brotherly love can be deeper/more important than a romance. It's almost as if this manga were actually aimed at boys and not love-obsessed high school/college age women.

Its power? [[Nightmare Fuel|I don't want]] [[Eldritch Abomination|to know...]] but whatever it is, it is the power Madara will have if he becomes "complete".
* It's probably something hax, like the ability to cause ''everything'' around him to rot and die instantly...
** Hopefully it's not [[Bleach|an old man]]...{{supersecretspoiler| We've seen that before in shonen and it doesn't do nearly as much as some of Naruto's powers. Though it fits in with Shintoism well enough, I'd think it would have to do with creation - what Izanami (the goddess of creation, essentially) did before being killed... combined with the horror Izanami became. So basically Eldritch Abomination spawning is my vote.}}
== We will see Kakashi use Rasengan in combat ==
Line 535 ⟶ 534:
== Danzo was involved in the kidnapping attempt against Hinata ==
Think about it- Danzo has been involved in all sorts of shady deals, and he's had a hand in pretty much every conflict we've seen so far. So I think Danzo contacted Kumo off the record and proposed a deal to help them kidnap Hinata in exchange for one of her eyes. This sets up one [[Xanatos Gambit]] after another. If the plan works, he gets a Byakugan and makes the Third look like a fool for trying to negotiate. If it fails, his hands are clean, while the Third still looks like a fool for trying to negotiate, and the next [[Xanatos Gambit]] is set up. He tells Kumo to demand Hiashi's corpse, and if it works, he gets the Byakugan, while if it fails, the war restarts and makes his case for becoming the next Hokage that much stronger. However, Danzo fully anticipates that they'll try to [[Take a Third Option]] and kill Hizashi to make peace without giving up the Byakugan. This creates all kinds of resentment in Neji, making him a perfect candidate for recruitment into ROOT, thus giving Danzo the best recruit since Itachi. This plan fails ONLY because [[Spanner in
* Aren't most ROOT members recruited long before they become Genin?
** Given that Fu and Torune are members of clans who's techniques are taught, not inherited, it seems it has both young orphans raised as part of the group (like Sai and Shin) and people Danzo found that were sympathetic to his goals.
*** The Aburame Clan bugs are implanted at brith and have a symbiotic relationship with the user. It's unlikely that this secret would be shared outside of the clan, and someone would have to be born in the clan to use it (although Root could have offered to adopt and train an Aburame orphan).
Line 548 ⟶ 547:
Alright, we all know about whom our main character's parents are, as revealed in chapter, what, 360?
Now, let's think about ''their'' parents.
Numerous fanfics (which won't be named, mostly because I can't remember all of them) hypothesize about Minato's parents... Specifically, that when Jiraya said that 'You can send me the love letters later' bit Tsunade decided to take him up on it several years after Dan's death. Some say that she didn't take him up on that, and that she and Dan had... * ahem* before his death, and Minato was the result.
But both of those are unimportant for now. What matters is the ''other'' parent's lineage. Yes, who Kushina's family is. And just why Uzu hasn't appeared as well.
Now, ~100 years before the main story starts, Konoha formed. Other villages probably formed around then as well, including Uzukagure no Sato.
Uzu formed from several wandering ninja clans, including several powerful bloodline, with some Kayugas, some of whatever clan Haku's bloodline comes from, and, as some suspected for a while, people with teh ultimate hax that ''really'', more than Madara, hated the Senju (or, alternatively, Izuna's girlfriend ran off after swearing an oath of revenge on Maddy, taking her close family in the Uchiha clan with her).
So they set themselves up, with all of them trying to stay quiet about their bloodlines and locations to keep A) the bloodline haters of Kiri, and B) their original clans, from finding them.
Sixty years pass, and the people of Uzu basically decide that the best leaders are the people who are more hax than the rest, former Uchiha, whose hair now matches their activated bloodline, calling themselves Uzumaki due to their newfound mastery of water techniques.
Then, during the 2nd, or between it and the 3rd, Ninja War, Konoha needs allies and decide to ask a village that they know is pretty damn powerful if they'd consider an alliance. Uzu accepts, and Konoha sends three of their stronger ninja with the treaty.
Line 569 ⟶ 568:
[[Oh Crap|Exactly right.]]
Then he leaves with the rest of his team, never looking back as he continues on his self destructive path.
Never realizing the fact that said Uzumaki female, ~9 months later, had a baby girl.
Line 577 ⟶ 576:
The aforementioned girl, now Genin or Chunin, rises to prominence on the battlefields along with a certain blond speedster, the two racking up some of the higher kill counts and being dispatched to the same places at the same time.
They meet, hit it off, and find themselves in a relationship several years later, during the big
part of the war, which destroys Uzu.
Line 585 ⟶ 584:
He panics, packs up his ninjutsu developing shops (being caught by his master in one of his last few and bluffing about why he's fleeing), and amscrays rather than having to deal with it.[[Tsundere|And both her and her mother.]]
''Now'' we can think about Minato's parentage. With either of the previously mentioned possibilities (Jiraya and Tsunade, Dan and Tsunade), we've Senju blooded person.
With Kushina, we have an Uchiha blooded person. With some snake in the veins, of course.
Now, logically, a child of ''theirs'' would be, say, ''IN-FRICKIN-SANELY STRONG'' and the closest thing to getting a Senju and Uchiha to have kids together.
Thus, the perfect place to store a ninth of the Juubi, as it should have the body of the Senju and the eyes of the Uchiha... Eventually...
Line 595 ⟶ 594:
So, the sealing happens before the main story starts, with Minato adding some bloodline suppression seals to the mix (to prevent the Uchiha from trying for his kid), and dying, Kushina following him shortly after or just vanishing.
Now, the reason behind Naruto's strength...
Uchiha Blood + Senju Blood + Juubi Part =?
Line 608 ⟶ 607:
EVIDENCE
* Despite his ordering Kabuto around, Orochimaru never actually tried to kill Naruto. He just said, to paraphrase, 'this isn't something I want to deal with now' and threw him over his shoulder after making him useless in combat. He even stopped Sasuke from starting a fight. Thus, if this is true, he knows about Naruto's parents.
* Nothing else for now.
*** I think I've read several fanfics based on this. None of them were very good. This seems to point towards it being true, given the way the manga's going.
**** Yeah... Most of this came to me when I was thinking about the Orochi myth and just who Kushina is/was...
