It's a nice speech but it would be a lot more meaningful coming from Kakashi or Jiraiya instead of the new guy that just showed up for the mission. Or, better yet, if this was an epiphany Naruto was having after realising that he was responsible for hurting Sakura with his short sighted use of Nine-Tails chakra rather than a lecture.
I can see four faces there. The anime only shows
three.
Meaning that Orochimaru perfected his jutsu at least twelve years ago.
This makes more sense than the
fan translation which just sounds like Kimimaro magically had the ability to stop Juugo's rampages when it was really just him being tough enough and skilled enough to stop Juugo without damaging him. I assume Orochimaru doesn't fall under the same category because he either didn't bother trying to stop Juugo or didn't care about hurting him when he did since he should be fully capable of scaring Juugo into submission like Sasuke just did.
You'd think that Akatsuki would have wanted to deal with Orochimaru before starting their Tailed Beast hunt. Sasori already had a spy in his ranks and Zetsu should be up to the task of finding him. Orochimaru and Kabuto seemed vaguely concerned about Akatsuki causing them trouble but not like it's a real worry. A confrontation between the groups could have been interesting.
And a divergence where Orochimaru had already been eliminated could make for a more original fanfic.
Those cloaks we see some Anbu wear actually seem to be an impediment. Every time we see an Anbu uncloak, they have a sword strapped to their back and usually at least one pouch on their waist but wearing that cloak means they can't wear the sword and they have to move the cloak out of their just to reach the rest of their weapons. Maybe there's a specific difference between those who wear cloaks and those who don't because this seems a tad impractical.
I wonder if Kumo operate in three-man cells as a standard instead of a four-man cells like Konoha. Otherwise
Atsui would have made sense as the third teammate.
So it
is possible to take the Tailed Beasts' chakra from the Statue, meaning that Nagato really did get screwed over. And it's pretty cheap that Obito could still resurrect the Ten Tails without a problem when he had used most of the Tailed Beasts' chakra to make these clones, used them to fight in the war and only had the fraction of chakra taken from Gyuki's tail and the GS Brothers.
If this war had been a real war, we could have had a subplot where the Allied Shinobi Force sent a force to retrieve the kidnapped daimyos to prevent the nobility of the relevant nations from turning against them part way through the war effort. Perhaps some of them would even be manipulated by Obito and Zetsu to cause more trouble, forcing the ASF to sent troops to different locations or lose money and supplies.
It's an odd thought but I wouldn't mind reading a fanfic where
Sasuke learned the Thunder God Jutsu. I think it'd suit him.
It would have bugged me before but Kishimoto's already sullied FTG by giving it to Tobirama and the Hokage Guard Platoon.
