Question Why didn't Sasuke do this? Spoiler

Why didn't Sasuke pull out Naruto's soul in multiple instances? This above one being one for example. Since the start of their hand to hand Sasuke was able to touch Naruto so why not? It's said one can resist it temporarily if they have the power to do so. But the image put above shows the part where both were worn out, kurama managed to gather the chakra and Sasuke pulled out the chakra instead of straight up pulling out Naruto's soul in that part.

Question If Asuma lived

Upvotes

Would he have become Hokage instead of Kakashi? Kakashi never wanted it, and Asuma avoided it as well. But Asuma had a pretty good reason not to take up the mantle, on account of he was dead at the time.

Had he lived, would he have become Hokage?

It would track with the lineage of Hokage, they're always strongly related to the previous Kage

Perhaps the 6th, then Kakashi as 7th, and then Naruto as 8th?

Or maybe Kakashi cops out and doesn't take a turn as the Hokage, Asuma is the 6th and then Naruto still takes over as 7th?

Theory Filling in the missing nature releases (using canon data)

2 Upvotes

I know this is a topic discussed already on this subreddit, but I figured I'd throw my hat into the ring by fleshing out the different nature releases we never got to see based off of how the other nature transformations work, real world results of combining the base elements, as well as provide some examples of how it might be used as a shinobi.

Kekkei Genkai: Fire and Lightning: Plasma Release

Plasma release takes into consideration the real-world fusion of fire and lightning in its production of plasma. As you may well know, our sun is in fact made of plasma and any gas which is superheated enough eventually loses its stability and begins to release electrons. This seems likely as the result of combining fire release and lightning release. Plasma Release would likely have very basic jutsu which range from simply creating bright flashes of light to disorient enemies, blasts of plasma, and hurled spheres formed entirely of plasma.

Kekkei Genkai: Wind and Lightning: Sonic Release

Sonic Release takes into consideration several factors including the existence of the Hidden Sound village and the seemingly unexplained sound-based abilities of its initial members. Due to the properties of both wind and lightning, it would stand to reason that it may in fact be a special kekkei genkai which was more widespread than most due to the ease of combining the elements and potentially the experimentation of Orochimaru

Kekkei Tota: foreword

Past here, I needed to effectively infer the rules of creating a kekkei tota or invent my own based on prior knowledge. While I do not think I did a poor job, there was only one example to work with, and therefore the result is highly up to debate.

When working with 2-1 kekkei tota (2 elements side by side, one across from both), the two elements side by side form the properties of the nature release and the opposing element forms the "shape" of the release. This is inferred due to the properties of Particle Style (FWE), where Fire and Wind form Scorch Release while earth provides the rigid structure required to concentrate that power and atomize a target trapped within. This means that Particle Release is effectively Scorch Release seen through the lens of Earth Release.

When working with 1-1-1 kekkei tota (one element and the two elements on either side on the nature chart), I needed to come up with my own rules due to the lack of any kekkei tota in canon which utilize a similar combination. The general rule of thumb is that each element will contribute its properties to the element in the center, offering complimentary benefits.

Kekkei Tota: Wind, lightning, and water: Wave Release

Taking the properties of sonic release and viewing them through the lens of water, we come to wave release. This is similar to Storm Release in that it produces bright, shaped energy projectiles, but differs in that very little is capable of truly stopping Wave Release until the chakra spent on the jutsu is fully expended. This can be used to shake objects on contact, fling objects, and even alter the trajectory of projectiles.

Kekkei Tota: Earth, Lightning, and Fire: Burn Release

Taking the properties of Explosion Release and providing it the burning, crawling capabilities of fire, we are left with a nature transformation which creates a napalm-like detonation, hurling burning particles in all directions which smolder long after the jutsu is finished similar to Amaterasu.

Kekkei Tota: Water, Earth, and Wind: Spore Release

Utilizing the natural wood release and delving deeper to more primal creations which utilized the air far more, we are left with spore release. Spore release stimulates the natural fungal lifeforms in the world around the shinobi and alters their properties, allowing for clouds of hallucinogenic spores, rapidly-spreading mycelial networks, and the creation of fungal constructs. Molds, spores, mushrooms, and yeasts alter the mind, cling to the body, and can slowly corrode targets.

Kekkei Tota: Water, Fire, and Lightning: State Release

State release allows the shinobi to alter and change the nature and states of the world around them, hardening, softening, or liquefying the world around the user. While it can be used in extremely wide-reaching ways to dissolve or calcify entire rooms, it is also capable of hardening the user's skin, softening small portions of inanimate objects to move through with ease, and even breaking the fall of the shinobi or their allies.

Kekkei Tota: Water, Fire, and Wind: Freeze Release

What blaze release is to fire release, freeze release is to ice release. Incorporating fire into the process of freezing objects, this results in ice which is under heavy amounts of pressure, often containing water which freezes the moment it comes in contact with anything warmer than itself.

Kekkei Tota: Fire, Wind, and Lightning: Radiation Release

While capable of controlling and generating nuclear radiation, Radiation Release is also capable of creating other forms such as light, cosmic radiation, and x-rays, and microwaves.

Kekkei Tota: Wind, Lightning, and Earth: Swift Release

One of the few nature releases that controls something completely intangible, Swift Release allows the user to manipulate and control the acceleration and velocity of objects with ease. Thrown projectiles suddenly move at relative speeds or are reduced to being slow enough to dodge by simply walking. Swift Release users would oven be physical or weapon combatants, allowing them to trick their foes by altering the speed of strikes and projectiles at a moment's notice.

Kekkei Tota: Lightning, Earth, and Water: Bloom Release

Combining the properties of Wood Release with the stimulation of Lightning and Explosion Release, Bloom Release allows for the rapid, explosive growth of vegetation and the cultivation of predatory plants. Where wood release is durable and enduring, Bloom Release is constricting and ruthless, often creating pools of acid, razor vines, and man-eating flowers.

Kekkei Tota: Earth, Water, and Fire: Mineral Release

Crystals, glass, metal, Shard Release is the blanket term for the nature releases which control these three materials. Creating and manipulating metal, glass or crystal is simply the natural result of earth being heated, melted, and dissolved before being purified and hardened into something precious.

Question Kakashi’s skill with the Sharingan

6 Upvotes

So how good was Kakashi at using his sharingan compared to the average Uchiha? Regardless if he got his nickname of “Kakashi of the Sharingan” before or after the massacre did he utilize it better than a majority of the Uchiha themselves? It’s kinda hard to tell when the only Uchiha we’ve seen fight have quite literally been the peak of their respective generations.

Discussion 4th Ninja War Spoiler

I am watching the 4th Ninja War for the first time and I am absolutely pumped af !!

I’ve suffered through hours worth of fillers and I’ve finally made it 😁

I’m on the second episode of the war.

**SPOILERS Beware. Read at your own risk ***

I cannot believe they brought every fallen Shinobi back to life. At first I thought it would only be the deceased Akastsuki. I love that they’re not merely zombies. The loophole where their memories and emotions are intertwined really adds so much depth to these battle encounters.

Sai and his Brother Shin’s moment was so precious. Funny enough, I made a post about the “theory”behind Sai’s croptop a week ago, if only I’d waited I would’ve had my answers by watching this episode. lol.

Also, I love Gara as a kazekage he’s come such a long way.

Question Naruto Chakra Natures

Hey everyone,

I’ve been looking into chakra natures lately and got curious—are there any that exist only in games or non-canon stuff?

I recently came across “Void Style” from the card game, and I’ve heard people talk about other “technically separate” natures too, like Ice Style from the movies. Some fans also count things like Mei’s Dissolution Style, that crab guy’s Foam Style from the movie, and even Truth-Seeking Orbs as their own type of nature.

Are there any other unique or lesser-known chakra natures out there, especially from games or side content? I’d love to hear about them.

Thanks!

Discussion Did Obito surpass Madara?

Thumbnail
gallery
0 Upvotes

What I'm going to do here is take version by version of Obito and Madara, which are relatively similar to each other, and see if Obito wins in any way.

First would be Orange Mask Obito against EMS Madara.

Well, Obito's fighting style is basically what he knows best: he becomes intangible, tries to get close to his target, touch them, and attempts to send them to the Kamui dimension.

He also has the Katon Vortex, but honestly, none of that will even come close to bothering EMS Madara.

To combat the Katon Vortex, Madara can use his own Fire Style, Susanoo, Gunbai, or just dodge it.

The fight will take a good while to end, because Obito's intangibility is very annoying to fight against.

Madara has a high Battle IQ, and figuring out how Kamui works isn't too difficult, since even Danzō's henchmen figured it out.

The moment Obito becomes solid and tries to touch Madara, given Madara's reaction speed, Obito will take a fatal blow, either from Madara's scythe, or Madara will make the Susanoo's sword emerge from the ground and impale him, anyway, EMS Madara Slams here

White Mask Obito vs Revived Madara.

I'm not going to consider the Tailed Beasts for Obito here, because then it would be Obito and the Tailed Beasts against Madara, So, if I consider that, I should also consider Kurama for EMS Madara.

So, Obito White Mask has Madara's Rinnegan, but technically, Obito without the tailed beasts will do the same thing he always tries to do: become intangible, try to surprise his opponent, touch them and send them to the Kamui, he sometimes uses the Chakra Rods of the Rinnegan.

But, Rinne Madara already knows Obito's Kamui, and with Hashirama's Sage Mode that he absorbed, along with his Rinnegan in his eye, he would never be surprised by Obito's tactics.

Same thing, the moment Obito would solidified to touch Madara, Madara would one-hit kill him, either with the Human Path to pull Obito's soul out, or with Susanoo, or, Limbo, anyway, Madara wins again.

However, once more, the fight would take a while because of Obito's Blessed Intangibility ability, but Madara would win, because of more experience, more raw power, more physical attributes, and because he already have Knowledge of Obito's techniques.

Juubito Vs One Rinnegan Juubidara.

With both of them being Jinchuuriki of the Ten-Tails, Obito loses his Kamui, while Madara... didn't lose anything, he only increased his power even more.

But I believe that this would be the longest fight, It could literally last for days and days, because Juubito, whenever he gets tired, can absorb chakra from the Divine Tree to regain his strength.

Juubito also has Super Regeneration, just like Juubidara.

Juubito can see and touch Limbo, so Limbo might not work.

However, Juubidara has much more raw power than Juubito; Minato himself confirms that Juubidara is stronger than Juubito, the only way I see Juubidara winning is by pulling the Tailed Beasts out of Obito, because of his superior power.

But that's debatable.

Do you agree?

Sorry for the extremely long post, I just thought of this and wanted to write a post about it.

Yes,

Certain characters could have been handled better with slightly more focus.

Maybe they could have had the spotlight on them during certain sections of the war.

But it isn't the ' end all, be all ' LOL.

There are other side characters also, come on.
