...Does Sakura actually work at the hospital? Is that something we saw or ever got told? I honestly can't remember. :hmm:

She probably did some shadowing of nurses/doctors/field medics, like many real-life medical students do, but as far as I can recall, there's never any mention of Sakura actually working at the hospital after her training with Tsunade is over.

She might also be called in during emergencies, but I don't think she actually works there full time.
 
IIRC she was working in the hospital in her Hiden, but nothing was said for before then.

That said, one cannot really become good at being a doctor without hands-on experience, and an hospital is generally the best place to find people needing healing.

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.

Konoha, too, uses Three-men cells.

The Fourth Man is the Jonin Teacher for the Genin Cells or for when a fourth member is necessary.

But teams not specifically needing an extra are Three-men Cells

It could be that those who wear cloaks are more suited to ninjutsu

Bah, you know what I mean. Standard formation are teams of four; a captain and three subordinates or a jounin and three genin. Team Samui gives the impression that Kumo might use even smaller teams as a standard for mission if Karui and Omoi were her genin subordinates.

I thought Karui and Omoi were Killer B's genin students... wasn't it said that they were trained by him?

But yeah, Kumo does seem to use smaller teams of only one captain and two subordinates. Even the Raikages all have one teammate with that A-B tag-team combo (plus they have famous duos like the Gold and Silver Brothers) while Hokages like Hiruzen still had two teammates.

Karui says B's their teacher which I assumed applied to all three of them until Samui was revealed to be a 29 year old jounin. So now I'm not sure if B was their jounin sensei but now they're under Samui's command, or if Samui was their jounin sensei and their relationship with B is more like Tsunade and Sakura's. Or maybe somewhere in the middle with B training them and Samui taking them on missions because he's restricted to the village.

That is one epic looking Earth Release. Sometimes I think that we just didn't see enough directly offensive earth ninjutsu as a lot of them are used for support or defence instead.


I wonder if Kishimoto actually forgot about this. When Mu appeared, I just automatically assumed that he was using the same jutsu but at such an expert level that he was truly invisible from everyone. It made sense when it accomplishes the same effect as Mu's Dustless Bewildering Cover, is of the same village and even has a higher rank. My headcanon was that the Camouflage Jutsu was developed after Mu's time to replicate his level of stealth.


Kakashi didn't even touch her. I didn't realise that was a thing.


It's remarkable just how much impact that rock had on the future of shinobi.

Heh.


That monument always seemed remarkably small to me considering the number of ninja who must die in service to Konoha.


So the number of Edo Tensei that can be summoned is a definite difference between Tobirama and Orochimaru/Kabuto's version. I wonder if that's the only difference or if there's more to it.


Wow, Viz makes Kakashi bragging all the more apparent and thus all the more painful when the rest of this fight goes off-screen.


I'm curious what he read there because there's no way he'd have such a dramatic reaction if it was only the scroll about unsealing the Dead Demon Consuming Seal. He literally only found out that there was a war going on about five minutes ago and knows nothing about who's fighting it and what's happening.

Wow, I honestly thought that whole "Kakashi has copied a thousand jutsu" thing had been quietly dropped after Part 1. I mean, he's only ever been shown to use like, what, thirty unique jutsu? And that's counting his uncopiable Sharingan jutsu and original jutsu like Chidori. Really, if Kishimoto wanted to give Kakashi a reputation like that then he should have been using a dozen new jutsu ever fight in order to live up to it.

Hell I'm fairly sure that both Sasuke and Naruto have longer known jutsu repertoires than Kakashi (although half of Naruto's are variations of the Rasengan).
 
I think the idea is that Kakashi has a jutsu for any situation, but mostly uses a selected few because they fits more his style.
 

"Half a day?" How long was Hiruzen unconscious for? Maybe he should have gone to the hospital afterwards. That kind of shock isn't good for a man his age.

He probably woke up after a few minutes, wrote the"attack" off as another one of Naruto's pranks, and didn't notice the missing scroll until hours later.

Or if you'd prefer a more crack fic answer, perhaps he woke up with a stiffy and ran out of the house on a booty call. :snigger:
 
maybe he was watching Naruto actually put serious effort in learning the scroll and ecided to call the alarms only once he was sure he did learn the technique, knowing Iruka would find him before everybody else?
 
Gai obviously has way too much time on his hands and he's taking advantage of it to attempt to corrupt the wider populace.

Also, Naruto can regenerate eyeballs, but he, Sakura and Tsunade can't get Gai fit for duty again? He's obviously faking it so he could take early retirement and focus on spreading the word of his perverse cult.

What about regenerating his own arm? Naruto obviously just wanted the Mokuton. :p (Edit: which he didn't even use in battle, AFAIK. LOL.)
 
maybe he can to that only for fresh wounds, and he didn't do it to Guy on the battlefield because it's stressing on the bodily resources

Does Naruto still have the Six Paths Yang Power that he used to regenerate Kakashi's eye and save Guy's life? I assumed it and Sasuke's Six Paths Yin Power were lost after they sealed away Kaguya.

[edit] Yeah just checked and the sun and moon seals on their hands were gone after sealing away Kaguya, so Naruto can't heal people anymore.
 
I don't think Hagoromo took back his Six Paths Chakra, seeing as Sasuke still used a "Black Chidori" and Naruto still used that Ashura Kurama after Hagoromo had already left. Plus he could still fly, which is only supposed to be possible with Six Paths Senjutsu, right?

I know Naruto's various "chakra modes" look different in The Last and Boruto, but I'm 99% sure that's because he's not Ashura's transmigrant anymore. Their debate having been settled by Sasuke's surrender, the two brothers have moved on to the pure world.

But then, the Six Paths Yin/Yang Power and Six Paths chakra aren't necessarily the same thing, and Hagoromo did get those markings on his hands back after the Six Paths - Chibaku Tensei. So, yeah, I guess Naruto's uber-healing powers are gone.

...Does Hinata still have Hamura's chakra? Could she regrow an eye if she wanted to?

He lost it, but eventually regained it, I think.
