Naruto The Official Fourth Naruto Databook Thread

[Altered Nova]

The limits of Amenotejikara are pretty vaguely defined. Does the mass of the object he switches with matter? Does it affect range or chakra usage? If he can switch with a kunai, then can he switch a grain of sand too? What about a particle of dust?

Does he even need to switch with an object? On this page he seems to just straight up teleport both himself and his freakin' Susanoo directly behind Naruto for a sneak attack. It doesn't state explicitly that he used Amenotejikara, but I don't recall him knowing any other teleportation techniques. He doesn't seem to have switched with anything visible though.

 

[ankokudaishogun]

I guess more mass makes it easier, and he usually switch with air.

Hey guys.

This book. Do you guys want anything translated from it?

 

[Knyght]

That one's the only one (aside from the first fanbook) that's actually got an official English translation.

 

[Altered Nova]

I own a copy of it too!

Updated the hundred leaves collection with Kages and Traditions (Iwa) and Mizukage Mei's Record of Mistaken Thoughts by kiyoitsukikage.

It's quite possible that they won't be doing any more DB4 translations thanks to some anons.

 

[Altered Nova]

I have to assume that the whole "Mei mistakes innocent words for people mocking her for being unmarried" thing makes a lot more sense in Japanese, because in English they had to stretch the "mistaken words" so badly that she comes across looking like a paranoid lunatic. Seriously, "merry age" = "marriageable age"?

 

[ankokudaishogun]

yes, it makes more sense in japanese because different words are read the same, so if you mistake the context you can end with "Bloodstain"(kekkon 血痕) being understood as "Wedding"(Kekkon 結婚)

And let's not start abount compound words!

Four of those character mini-files all link to the same dude, Tokisuki Kobure.

Huh, so Anko had a secret admirer. Not surprising I suppose, considering how popular she is with the fans.

Holy shit. The Spirit Transformation Technique kills the victim by "making their soul collapse from the inside, leading to death." I'm not sure exactly what that means, but it sounds HARDCORE.

Also, no mention of the spirit transformation technique having any downside or even restrictions. It's basically the ultimate assassination jutsu, but is also extremely versatile - it can be used for reconnaissance, long-distance communication, and even to transfer your chakra to an ally from a distance. This jutsu is ridiculously powerful.

I'm very disappointed that we didn't get a picture of Sasuke Sarutobi. That entry was honestly kind of pointless, no new info on him at all.

The "traditions handed down in all villages" pages don't really talk about any traditions at all, do they? The Konoha one only mentions the stone faces on the mountain.

Fixed. :rip1:

 

[Altered Nova]

Drat, I was kind of hoping we'd get an explanation about what's going on with Tonbo Tobitake's face bandages. Is he blind or something? How does he navigate without his eyesight?

 

[Knyght]

That might have been explained in the first databook since I know he has an entry but it wasn't translated.

 

[AoMythology]

Maybe he's the bastard child of a Hyuuga, or a super-sensor similar to Tousen from Bleach. ^_^

Updated character mini-files with the Land of Iron, Chiyomatsu, Urakaku, Yoshiteru and Okisuke by kiyoitsukikage.

 

[Altered Nova]

I love how Dan is described as "righteous" and "kindhearted," but also as "heartless" and a "murderer." Quite the contradiction, that man.

Mabui seriously teleports things "at the speed of light?" That's a bit much. Do you think it might just be an exaggeration?

Perfect ante-Naruto Kage material, I'd say. A good person who will do anything if necessary.

Mabui seriously teleports things "at the speed of light?" That's a bit much. Do you think it might just be an exaggeration?

I don't think so- it doesn't look like a field-ready ability and deals quite the damages on what it transports, so it's balanced.

 

[Knyght]

I liked how Anko's profile wholeheartedly backed up my idea of her working in infiltration/recon rather than assassination/torture as the cliche goes.

Updated character files with Atsui, Karui and Omoi by kiyoitsukikage.

Updated jutsu files with Sage Art: White Rage Jutsu by kiyoitsukikage.

Updated shinobi facts with Bijuu World History by kiyoitsukikage.

 

[Altered Nova]

I'm almost as surprised at Atsui being only 19 years old as I was when I learned that his sister Samui was 29. They look like they could be twins.

I'm also shocked that Omoi is actually about ten months younger than Naruto. Although considering how immature he acts I suppose it shouldn't have been that surprising.

That Sage Art White Rage technique is pretty ridiculous. Literally only someone who can liquify their body and doesn't rely on sight and sound to navigate (like a snake that can sense body heat and hunt by scent) could use it without rendering themselves helpless as well.

Did Kabuto learn that technique from someone else? If so, who else could possibly use it? Or if he invented it, did he create the jutsu first and modified his body to tolerate it? Or did he modify his body and then set out to create a jutsu that would take advantage of his new traits to the fullest?

Also I feel that I should point out that a snake's cornea do not work like that. Snakes do not have eyelids, they cannot "shut their sight off and block the light" as Kabuto claims in chapter 580.

 

[Knyght]

I'd prefer it if Atsui was even younger so I could pretend he was on the same team as Omoi and Karui. That team composition is weird.

The first sentence makes White Rage sound like a general snake sage jutsu but the last sentence makes it sound specific to Kabuto. If it's the former then I expect that it usually involves the caster retreating underground before it detonates and popping back up when it's over to launch a surprise attack.

Updated jutsu files with Naruto Region Combo by kiyoitsukikage.

 

[Altered Nova]

"She analyzed the White Zetsu's cell DNA. She noticed it's peculiarity." - I have know idea why, but this simple, blunt statement made me laugh.

I'm kind of disappointed that Ibiki is canonically a sadist now. I always headcanoned him as being a professionally thorough torturer/interrogator because he had a strong sense of duty and desire to find the truth, not because he enjoyed inflicting pain on others. He's never really struck me as being particularly sadistic (Anko gave me that vibe much more than him), especially since older databooks listed his hobby as being "suggestive interrogation", aka using leading questions to trick the interviewee during verbal interrogation.

I find it interesting that the Naruto Region Combo is specifically stated to have a power that equals even Lee's. Cause we all know first hand just how dangerous Lee is, what with being awed by the incredible power he's unleashed in all those many epic fights he's had in the last 610 or so chapters of the manga.
