You've heard his voice didnt you in shippuuden

yeah thats why i was confused, because i read the manga and thought he was a she and then heard the man voice in shippuuden and was like wtf lol

also now thinking about Sasukes new move, its not really new, the chidori all around his body has all ready been used, well something very similiar anyways, remember the filler with Raiga and the little boy he carried on his back. In episode 156 he uses lightning around his whole body, thats basically what chidiori is,lightning.

Damn sasuke, stealing your move from Raiga and the fillers!

Wow. Someone over at the NarutoCentral forums just said that Naruto has already surpassed everyone in the Naruto universe. :rofl: What the fuck?

That dude is drunk, high, insane, half dead or braindead. why you ask sir??!!!
ILL TELL YOU WHY!!! Naruto got his damn ass almost whooped by one of those Akatsuki kiddo's!! THATS WHY!!!

Thank you for your time!

ps: Im at work lolol

:lol Rage. Yeah, he makes it sound like Naruto is so strong and has changed his ways so much because he took out Kakuzu. He's still a trial and error loud mouth. He'll never change. That's not to say that he isn't strong.

Orochimaru stares at Sasuke and marvels over his skills/genius and thinks that soon, Sasuke's going to be his. The scene sort of zooms out if I got it correctly. The group of shinobi Sasuke defeated is revealed to be more than a thousand!

Scene changes. Naruto, Sai & Sakura eats ramen. Naruto has trouble with eating with his left hand - his right one is heavily bandaged. Sakura says that while his new jutsu is great, it severly damages the body too. Naruto says that it's cool as he'll just heal soon. He then says that he's happy like this and that soon they'll be able to go after Sasuke again, together. Sakura answers yes, and then feeds Naruto, if I get it correctly. Kakashi appears. They're surpised that he isn't in hospital, and he says that he is too. He also adds that he thinks that the reason is that he didn't have to use the Mangekyo Sharingan this time, so this time, he escaped the sick bed. He then tells Naruto that he has done something incredible, that he is now equal to or have surpassed him, but that he should still be wary of the risk of the jutsu Naruto answers "yeah".

Scene changes to Orochimaru's headquarter. Orochimaru lies in bed, coughing. Kabuto says that it's useless to go any further. The body won't be able to take more of the drugs/medicine. He tells Orochimaru to waits a little, then leaves the room. Orochimaru laughs madly. Both his arms, if I read it correctly, are covered in some sort of banages with seals on. A chakra blade apparently flashes through the room, aimed at Orochimaru. Orochimaru stops it by the crossguard. He says "This chakra nature is... But I haven't seen it like this before". He asks who it is. Sasuke enters the room. Orochimaru says "I see.. I thought so". Sasuke says that Orochimaru can no longer teach him anything and that he won't show any mercy before Orochimaru. He activates his Sharingan. there's also something about the end about a seal bandage falling from a face (I think). Perhaps Orochimaru is wearing a headbandage similar to Kimimaro's when he was shown in sickbed? Chapter ends.

This is just awesome. Guys, you know, I always wanted this. Sasuke NEVER actually falling into the hands of Orochimaru :D Now Sasuke can do WHATEVER HE WANTS, which is just plain awesome....

And I still say Naruto will NOT be able to use that "uber cool new jutsu" against Sasuke, coz he's just too "dear" for him :disgust: but then again, if Sasuke pushes it too much, he might just use it to disable him or somethin :D

I like how the story is progressing so far. Am happy with the progress made by Sasuke but don't really think Naruto has done something out of extraordinary :(

Mm, I don't know. I don't think Sasuke is strong enough to defeat Orochimaru just yet. He doesn't even have MS yet. And I doubt Kabuto will just sit there and watch Sasuke attack Orochimaru.

Yeah, Naruto definitely wouldn't use that jutsu on Sasuke, under normal circumstances. Should Sasuke make it very clear to Naruto that he wants nothing to do with him, maybe that'd sink into Naruto's hard head and he'll finally understand that he needs to treat Sasuke like the deadly enemy he is. If Naruto still holds on to the past, he'll get beaten down.

Well, both are at least Jounin level ninja's now. Yet, they're still both Genins. :lol I'd hate to see Sasuke actually beat Orochimaru at this point. I still have this feeling in the back of my mind that Sasuke won't be ready for Itachi for a good while. Itachi is a beast.

Sasuke will end up fighting kabuto and orochimaru, but it will end in an equal fight so neither of them can look really weak compared to the other and Sasuke will end up leaving Orochimaru's hideout to go out on his own.

which would leave us with where is sasuke going and whats he going to do? now that sasuke is gone what body is orochimaruo going to get now? would akatsuki take advantage of the state orochimaru is in?,why is naruto so hard headed?

k no more :minkoff:

No, I don't think Orochimaru will just let his precious container walk away like that. He'll do whatever it takes to take over that Uchiha body. Even if it means defeating, but not killing, in battle. Although Sasuke may feel as though Orochimaru has nothing else to teach him. Or he's just restless. It could be Sasuke found a new way of gaining the MS, by defeating his sensei.

At first... Orochimaru is a fag. Ok got that out of the way. Second Itachi is one of the weakest Akatsuki, if Gai can take on Kisame with a bit of hardship then Id think the others can take em on except the unknown members since we just dont know who the fuck they are.

Narutottebayo is someone that shows he's mostly weak but always gets through it in a surprisingly way, he couldve taken Sasuke on when the first met again but since Yamato butted in makign Naruto decline Kyuubi's power he got his ass whooped and left behind crying like a lil baby.

Gai had to open up a few gates, no? He even commented on Kisame's monstrous strength. And it was a Kisame clone, only using up about 30% of his strength/chakra.

Wow. The 343 issue sure is taking a while to release. o_O I wanna see Sasuke stand up to Orochimaru, damnit!

edit: 343 was good, 344 should be really good, see if sasuke and orochimaru actually fight or if orochimaru just plays mind games as usual and changes his mind

I saw a post here in Anime & Manga section of EP in which people had shared free manga download sites. This makes me think giving out free download links of Manga is okay over here at EP :D So, here you go guys....

woooooooooooowwwwwwwwwwwwwwww that sounds freakin awesome, cant wait :dance:

I know! :D Some people on another board commented on how it might be fake, simply because Orochimaru is never seen using water jutsu. Hello! This is Orochimaru, one of his goals was to learn every jutsu. Plus, he's being attacked with fire jutsu. Do they actually expect him to counter with snakes? o_O

lol yeah seriously, its logical that he would attack with a water jutsu. makes you wonder has sasuke known all along what was going to happen to him and was just using orochimaru just to get stronger and then the plan all along was just to kill orochimaru

Well, I do doubt that Sasuke wanted to hand over his body. But I do know that Sasuke wanted to the power needed to defeat Itachi. I think Orochimaru knew Sasuke's betrayal was coming, and I think Sasuke knew the best time to go for the kill would be when Orochimaru is at his weakest. It'll get interesting in 345, though. In that spoiler, it just seemed like they were just messing around. Not serious.

Well, so much for that. @_@ It was a fake spoiler. Bastards. Here's a confirmed one, with a scanned image.

Here's a quick translation of the spoiler posted earlier. I don't know if it's real or not but it sounds pretty crazy. Enjoy!

大蛇丸の両手に刺さったチャクラの� �をさらに押し進めるサスケ
剣は両手を貫通し壁まで到達する
*Sasuke pushes the chakra blade even further into Orochimaru’s arms. The blade goes all the way through his arms and stabs the wall behind him.

サスケ「大蛇丸　アンタはオレより� �い」
Sasuke: Orochimaru, you’re weaker than I am.

「・・もうアンタにオレの体をくれ� �やる必要も無くなったわけ�*」
Sasuke: …so there’s no more point in me giving my body to you.

大蛇丸「言うわ�*・・うちはのひよ� �こが」
Orochimaru: The Uchiha chick…sure has a mouth on him.

サスケ「フッ・・ひよっこじゃなき� �手に入りそうもなかんたん�*ろ?アン タさ」
Sasuke: Hmmph…if I weren’t a baby chick then there’s no way you could’ve gotten me here, right?

上から見た二人。考えている大蛇丸
*Both of them looking down on each other while Orochimaru thinks.

サスケ「イタチが無理�*った・・�*� �らひよっこのオレを狙ったん�*ろ?」
Sasuke: Itachi was out of your reach…so that’s why you targeted me, the baby chick right?

「そう�*ろ?　”三忍”と謳われた天� ��さんよ」
Sasuke: Isn’t that right, genius called one of the “sannin”.

サスケ「�*がアンタは世間で言うた� *の天才でしか無かった・・」
Sasuke: but at the end of the day you’re just a genius in the world…

「うちはの名を超えるどころか届き� �しない」
Sasuke: Not enough to surpass or even match the name of the Uchiha.

「どんな天才もうちはの前では凡人� �成り下がるのさ
Sasuke: No matter the genius, they all fall to mediocrity in front of the Uchiha.

サスケ「自分の体を薬漬けにし体を� �り越えてまでうちはの力にいやらし� ��近づこうと
　　　　するアンタの行為はこの名� �持つオレからすればあさましく滑稽� �*」
Sasuke: As someone with the name Uchiha it’s pathetic and laughable to see you drug yourself up and switch bodies just to inch yourself a little closer to the power of the Uchiha.

サスケ「それにアンタのやり方は好� �じゃない・・アンタの目的は何�*?」
Sasuke: That and I don’t like the way you go about things…just what is your goal?

「この世の道理を解き明かす�*の何� *のと　下らない利己的な理由で他人� �� 玩具のように弄び続けている」
Sasuke: To continue using other people like tools just to unlock the order of the world or whatever the ridiculous other reasons you have.

サスケの回想。「己の器を量るため� *」「それが重要なの�*」というイタ� ��
*Sasuke flashback. Itachi saying, “To measure the depth of my own ability—that is what is important.”

サスケ「反吐が出る」
Sasuke: It makes me sick.

一気に詰め寄るサスケ。
*Sasuke storms at Orochimaru suddenly.

大蛇丸は口をあけると何かが 飛び出す。そしてそれはサスケの横� �通り過ぎる。サスケはそれを見定め� ��
*As Orochimaru opens his mouth something flies out. It shoots past Sasuke. Sasuke manages to see what it is.

サスケ「白いウ�*コの大蛇・・それ� �アンタの�*�体�*ったとはな・・」
Sasuke: A white snake…so that’s your true form then…

サスケの後ろにはウ�*コが小さい蛇� �できた大蛇。それが大蛇丸�*った
*Behind Sasuke is a big snake made of many little snakes. That is Orochimaru.

サスケ「体から体へ乗り換えるため� �・・実験を繰り返した・・・・」
Sasuke: In order to jump from body to body…you kept performing your experiments.
　　　
サスケ「成れの果てがその姿か」
Sasuke: So after all that this is your form then.

大蛇丸「さぁ・・サスケくんその体� �・・」
Orochimaru: Well then…Sasuke-kun…give me…

「私　に　ち　ょ　う　�*　ぁぁ　� �!!!」
Orochimaru: …that body of yours!!!

サスケを襲う大蛇丸。サスケはそれ� �かわし、小さい蛇の追撃も剣で�*ち� ��る
壁際に立つサスケ。片腕で上着を払� �、それから状態2へと変化を始める
*Orochimaru attacks Sasuke. Sasuke dodges and stops the small snakes’ attacks with his sword. Sasuke is up against a wall. He takes off his jacket with one arm and begins to change to his cursed seal level 2 form.

サスケ「地を這いずる蛇が空を飛び� �いと夢見たところで　しょせん無理� ��話・・」
Sasuke: A snake crawling around on the ground starts to dream about flying in the sky…at the end of the day it’s nothing but an impossibility…

大蛇丸の小蛇たちは「ズズズ」とサ� �ケを絞め巻く。
*Orochimaru’s little snakes start to wind themselves around Sasuke.

サスケ「それでもどうにかしたいと� �の�*のひよっこを狙ってたお前が逆� ��狙われていたのさ」
Sasuke: But you still wanting to accomplish it somehow crawled in the nest to get the baby chick and became the target yourself…

大蛇丸「!」　蛇たちが爆発する
*Orochimaru: ! *The snakes all explode

サスケ「これから空高く飛び立つ　� �・鷹の目にな」
Sasuke: …in the eyes of a hawk…that would soon be the one flying in the sky.

状態2に変身し翼を広げるサスケのア� ��プ
*A panel of Sasuke spreading his wings in his level 2 form.

大蛇丸「・・」(かなり焦っている)「 サ　ス　ケ　ェェェ　!!」(飛びかか� �)
Orochimaru: … (*now totally freaking out) Sasuke!! (*Orochimaru jumps at Sasuke)

�*�面変わって墓の前
*Scene change to a grave

それは大蛇丸の両親の墓、�*�供のこ� �の大蛇丸と若き三代目
*It’s the grave of Orochimaru’s parents. We see Orochimaru as a child with a young 3rd Hokage there.

大蛇丸「!　何�*ろコレ?」
Orochimaru: ! What on earth is this?

三代目「おおそれは白蛇の脱皮した� ��*　よく見つけたな」
The 3rd: Oh, that’s the molted skin of a white snake. I’m surprised you found one.

「それは滅多に見ることのできない� �しいもの�*な」
The 3rd: It’s quite a rare thing that most can hardly ever see.

大蛇丸「どうして白いの?」
Orochimaru: Why is it white?

三代目「さぁな良くはわかっておら� �。そんなことを誰も気に�*�めんしな� ��
The 3rd: Hmm, I’m not really sure why. I don’t think anyone does.

「た�*昔から白蛇は幸運と再生の象� �とされとるん�*」
The 3rd: Just that ever since the old days these white snakes have been thought of as symbolizing good luck and rebirth.

大蛇丸「幸運と再生・・・」
Orochimaru: Good luck and rebirth…

三代目「・・・」
The 3rd: …

三代目「この墓で見つけたのも何か� ��*縁　お前の両親もどこかで生まれ� ��わっているかもしれないのォ・・」
The 3rd: I guess finding them at this grave must be a kind of fate. Maybe your parents were born again somewhere else…

「いつかまた・・大きくなったお前� �会うために」
Orochimaru: So that one day…they might see you again all grown up.

大蛇丸「・・それっていつ�*ろ・・?� ��
Orochimaru: ….when would that be…?

三代目「・・さぁてなそれは分から� �が」
The 3rd: …well I don’t know when.


白い蛇の抜け殻を微笑んで見つめる� �蛇丸で終わり
*The chapter ends with Orochimaru smiling while staring at the white snake’s shedded skin.

the way its told it almost seems as if Sasuke is going to end up killing Orochimaru lol

I know. O_O I'm shocked at how far along Sasuke has come.

yup, theres no way Naruto could beat him, it took Naruto 4 tails in order to almost kill orochimaru and even he had a hard time doing that with 4 tails, sasuke is doing this with less power than that(in a way)

Naruto needs to stop womanizing with ero-sennin and start training! the new jutusu he learned isnt going to be enough lol, if they fought right now, sasuke would beat naruto without any effort

Well, I do recall Orochimaru punching 4-tailed Naruto in the face, and that only pushed him back a tiny bit. I was like, o_O . Sasuke, I have high hopes that he'll beat Orochimaru. He's about to go CS2 on his ass! :D Although, I'd hoped Sasuke would be able to beat Orochimaru in his base form. =\ Something tells me, though, that Orochimaru may have another way of controlling Sasuke via the cursed seal. Remember with Anko, he brought her to her knees by just doing something with his two fingers. I'm sure that sounds perverted. :P

It definitely won't be enough. And he also needs to figure out just how the hell he's going to use that new move of his without doing away with his hand.

yes that did sound perverted what you said lol but naruto needs some new moves or tactics, he was gone for two years and he didnt learn anything new and since then hes only learned ONE move and the rest are still the same moves,only he uses them ''smarter and better''

Indeed. He does seem to be behind Sasuke in terms of skill level. Although, he did take out Kakuzu, he did it against a weakened Kakuzu, and couldn't even finish the job. =\ Even Sakura and Shikamaru finished off their jobs.

i honestly think right now Sakura is even stronger than Naruto from what ive seen from her so far lol thats sad, poor naruto! your still behind everyone!

It's kind of natural that Sakura is physically stronger than Naruto. Remember, she trained under the guidance of Tsunade, and they both specialize in medical stuff, and super strength.

yeah but shes like extremelly stronger, naruto was trained by jiraiya and he didnt even get any stronger, seems like everyone is getting stronger under their ''teachers'' BUT naruto

Sakura - Tsunade

Sasuke- Orochimaru

I just realized something. Sasuke isn't able to summon Manda. I mean, I'd hoped Orochimaru would have taught Sasuke how to summon him. Sasuke was more than capable of killing 100 ninja's, which is what it takes to sign a contract with Manda. 100 sacrifices. But, Sasuke didn't actually kill those ninja's. Damn. I'd hoped he'd be able to summon Manda. :( Maybe Manda could help Sasuke against Orochimaru. :P

its crazy how in the first part orochimaru seemed like this unstoppable force, now he seems like one of the mediocre bad guys and sasuke/akatsuk are now man viilians and orochimaru is the minor one now people should worry about, im interested to see who ALL the members of Akatsuki are :yikes:

yeah i know he was always a bad guy but he was always the main one and was seen as unstoppable, not he looks just like a regular villain, like in video games you got mini-bosses before you actually fight the real one thats how it is with him now. He's just there and the main ones are now Sasuke(keeps growing stronger!) and akatsuki

Damn....how long are these people gonna take to release Naruto 344 ??? :( Its taking an awfully lot of time. Its already past Friday over here...and no RAW :(
