Which got me thinking.
This is excellent writing, imo. This leaves the door wide open for plenty of twists. This is along the same lines of "what hidden techniques did Naruto learn that he hasn't been able to show yet?"
I am hooked on this manga because I WANT to know what happens next. He entangles you with a large inter-related matrix of plots. Very attention grabbing, imo.

sigh. they REALLY should rename it "fables of the uchihas" as opposed to NARUTO at this point. really, i lliked naruto cause it was centred around the character development of NARUTO. ofcourse im still hooked to the manga, but still. nuthing beats the pre shippuden ANIME naruto.
for example the rivalry between Jiraiya and orochimaru, the slacker vs the prodogy
hmmm, naruto should get either two shurikens with which he can use his wind attacks with, or needs to learn body flicker to move fast. or he needs to learn the third hokage's teleportation seal. MAN shippuden doesnt have ONE decent naruto fight other than the 4 tails. he was simply the encoure against the immortal akatsuki. we need COMPLETE fights of naruto.
on a secondary note, how does the akatsuki heirarchy currently stand?
madara
pain
zetsu
konan
kisame
maybe the kyuubi will be making its debut as a major villian in a while. because i really dont see just madara being the final opposition. its either the kyuubi or pain in some form or naruto vs sasuke.
Originally posted by psycho gundamNaruto's greatest weapon in battle is practically useless against Tobi though and perhaps soon Sasuke if he can unlock the final secret. There shouldn't be a way he can win. Besides Naruto becoming Hokage is believable as soon as he gets older. He's stronger than Kakashi, makes friends pretty easy, and is good at getting people motivated and everything. He's got everything but the brains and well skill to be a good Hokage but he's not even an adult yet so that will probably change.

Originally posted by leonheartmmWell Naruto is going to have to fight Pein at some point. Maybe we'll get to see what happens when Naruto gets revenge for Jiraiya. Hopefully it'll be a good fight for Naruto along with showing us more on the Rinnengan.

Sasuke...he doesn't really seem as if he wants to fight Naruto and with having a Mangekyou and Itachi being dead..he really has no reason to try and kill Naruto. It won't help anymore now.
Sasuke has the skill and brains to be Hokage but I don't think he really has anything else worthwhile to be a Hokage. He's not really caring, he isn't exactly somebody I can see who would sacrifice himself for everybody, and he's not the nicest person. But I guess Tsunade hasn't started a war with her additude yet.
I know but I just can't see Naruto making good choices as a politician. He doesn't seem like the kind of guy who could get through all the conflicts of interest and compromise since he has such a "don't back down" attitude. Like when they were in the forest of death, Sasuke knew the best thing to do would be to run away from Orochimaru but Naruto attacked head on since he didn't want act cowardly.
Right but I don't think "Hopeless Optimism" is a good thing if you're a politician, you need to be very realistic and back down if you can't get what you want. For instance, here's another one:
Back in the Chuunin exam, they did that "tenth question" thing where you put your team at risk of never taking the exam again and never becoming chuunin. The idea is that it's good for a shinobi to put themselves at risk to complete their mission, BUT the fact that he took it doesn't make me confident in his ability to know when the risks of many outweigh the possible benefits...
