Right now, as far as I can see, Minato just copied the jutsu for some reason. Unless he has precog (which I doubt), there is absolutely no way he created the Rasengan just so his unborn child could master it in the future, after becoming a Jinchuuriki. Though props to him for translating a Bijuu attack into an actual Jutsu.

1) Edo Tensei Sasori < Kankuro <<< Sasori. You know this to be true.

2) I told you so. super13

Aizen on average lives longer than Minato so I can see why.

Actually just realized that if Minato saw a tailed beast use that attack, could it mean that Kushina could do it? Or has he just fought a host before?

1) Sasori without any weapon at all...while Kankuro had more help and actual puppets. >_>

2) Doesn't change the fact that it makes no sense.

Kushina seems like the most likely candidate.

Also means a nice full circle thing- Host helps husband make technique that eventually is given to their son.

He did have Shin and the captured nin. But yea, Kankuro had the arsenal on his side.

I'm only like on the 19th episode of Shippuuden, I stopped watching somewhere along the line. lol by the way my spelling is atrocious so if you want to correct it, feel free.

Or he's just much smarter. Same goes for Madara, though he underestimated Minato and was outsmarted in their fight.
Seriously though, Minato's above Itachi in this regard, but not by an incredible amount. People are wanking Minato's intelligence.

Likely. Would make sense too (ala the full circle thing Q99 is talking about), but I doubt any of the previous 2 Jinchuurikii reached the level of control Naruto has, let alone being able to transform into full beast form. Maybe Kushina slipped into a 4-8 Tailed-esque State, and used the attack?

Plus, during the time Minato was active, there was a war going on, which increases the probability that Minato fought a Jinchuurikii that transformed into its full beast form.
Still, props to him for creating Rasengan that way. Makes him even more ossum.

1) Hence why that Sasori was still < Kankuro. Sasori during his fight with Chiyo and Sakura was far better.

2) This is Naruto. When Talk-no-jutsu is involved, common sense goes out the window.

Doubt it. For one, Sai was right in front of them one moment, and those ink ogres appeared right behind them the next. Chouji would never have been able to do that unless he sneaked up on them, which is impossible when he's super-sized. 😐

anyway, i would tell you, read the manga, i really don't like the anime anymore, the animation is just bad, even when it is "good" and you get the full story without watching them look at eachother for eight hours.

I wonder if Kakuzu is going to run into the same problem as Sasori when he fights. No hearts and no Hidan to get opponents trapped in attaks might pose a problem right?

As for the Naruto anime, I'm pretty sure or would like to think that the animators learned from the Pein vs Naruto fight and will (hopefully) make the Sasuke vs Raikage fight not suck.

agreed, that fight was epic.

edit: though, the problem lately, is that if they made all the awesome fights (or just important fights, as thats what they seem to like to do) good animation, they wouldn't have any money left i would assume. there have been a lot lately

lol, rock lee's got a little mini manga chapter out

http://mangastream.com/read/rock_lee/15083938/1

Chibi-Hokage monument! XD

Btw, they really need an earth ninja to fix that crack in Hiruizen's.

Pretty silly, but fun.

Spoiler:
After using Lee for the turtle, I half expected Tenten for the sexy no jutsu ^^

'Now I feel really aroused with motivation for some reason!'

ahahahaha

I did too.

But, for some reason, the "kiddie" versions would have made it lame. Keeping within the "humor" of Lee and Gai, them doing it was probably the best choice.

The second chapter wasn't as strong, but overall I'm liking this.

I demand more Neji turtle.

Edit: Also, I'm glad we got to learn why Kakashi wears that mask. Must be a TON of blood.

Cool. We'll get to see division 4 in action.

Where the hell is Mei?

HAKU is back and in action oooooh the fanboys are gonna love this

Woo, Haku's defense is pretty strong!

And now we know the requirements of the jutsu. DNA is required, but not the full body (failures have occurred). Hiruzen didn't really stop the jutsu, but it was doomed. Orochimaru perfected it off the 2nd's version.

Where the hell is Mei?

Very good question. You've got the three oldest Kage as C&C, the youngest in the field, that leaves Terumi unaccounted for.

Why bring back Shisui when he could have just brought back Danzo?

Also, with doing so many body-mods, you'd think Kabuto wouldn't need glasses anymore.

i think if he brought back Danzo, he'd come back without all the sharingans

Why? People come back with all the equipment they had when they died, I don't see why the eyes should be different.

"Yeah, getting the DNA was a real pain, some of the people's bodies were so decayed that I couldn't recognize them, and some people's bodies don't exist anymore since they blew themselves up, like Deidera, so I had to pull the DNA out of my ass."
