Can it really be called a random powerup if Naruto has done it before?

Only difference this time is Naruto wasn't attacking anyone and is more experienced with using his chakra in this mode.

How he got the experience to use it efficiently a few hours after hurting himself once is what's getting me confused. Naruto might be a genius to an extent but he's not a ninja genius to the point where he can master a technique in less than a day.(Kage Bushin aside)

Wonder why he didn't just run past A and Tsunade to begin with if he had this much speed.

It's not really a technique. It's super speed. And the main difference here is the fact that he attacked Kisame.

Probably cause he wanted to talk some since into them. That and what QT said.

It's been more than a day, he's undergone more training with Killerbee since then.

And just now had a few lower speed clashes with A to get a feel for it.

It seems Kishi forgot to follow through what happened to Suigetsu.

I mean, will he be a friend or foe, once he becomes the master of the Seven Swordsmen techniques?

The manga isn't even over yet. haermm

What clears what up? 😮

Rating time!

Do you think we have enough to rate young A and Bee?

Also, Mahiru, the stone jonin from Kakashi Gaiden with the shadow clones that saw through the chidori and almost killed Kakashi, but was killed by Minato. B+?

B+ works for him.

Bee seems pretty skilled though not as strong as A. A confuses me though. Has he gotten faster or not? I can't tell anymore.

Bee: A+?

Lesse, for jutsu, all he had at the time was his swords, lariat, and tentacles. That's pretty good, but do you think it warrants the +?

The Tentacles mean that he is capable of transforming at that size, just like he did against Kisame. If anything, he has close to his first shown level of mastery over the Hachibi.

Well maybe not in hindsight. But was partly thinking of him completing a mission right under A's nose. Was awesome.

even if he was 1/3 as proficient with them as he was when he killed sasuke with ease, he's high tier

he\s so gatlyke now, kishi had to remove 6 of his swords and skills with said weapons (iirc) to give kisame a chance to look half as cool 😈

Well yea, he's clearly jonin level.

Well....shit.

Spoiler:
Naruto at this moment can use clones, use his chakra hands to use several rasengans at once, make a vacuum out of a big rasengan, affect the Zetsu clones to make them grow trees, and throw mini rasenshurikens. Oh and he actually used a summon for once.

Only problem I have with that is the

Spoiler:
Clones. I was under the impression that he could no longer use clones. Not many at least.

Oh and Naruto was completely holding back against A. To a laughable extent.

Sasuke should be returning in a few chapters. Naruto'll fight him and Bee'll fight Madara/Kabuto. Thats my guess.

Its getting harder to hate Naruto when he keeps acting like a bamf th eway he was in this chapter.

Indeed.

Also, Mito was apparently able to control the Kyuubi to the same extent as Naruto. At least enough to sense emotions. Badass. And no who isn't mentioned to have said ability? Kushina. 😖hifty:
