I haven't read Naruto ever since the start of the ninja war, however long ago that was. But if Naruto is crossing over with Kill la Kill, I want in again. Could you point me to the chapter where the cross-over began?

It has nothing to do with Kill la Kill. Kamui is a fairly common word in manga and anime that usually refers to a divine being. In this case it's actually the name of Kakashi's mangekyou sharingan technique where he makes things disappear (like that missile in the Pain fight).

Ah yes, now I recall. Back in the days when Kakashi was still relevant.

Kakashi was literally two seconds from becoming the Hokage when Danzo went "NO I WANT IT :mad:" and the nobles gave it to him instead.

Did he? I mean it wouldn't surprise me if he did, I just remember him throwing a hissyfit about how the nobles should give it to him instead and they were like "okay" because Kishi seems fairly dedicated to making us think the nobles are fat out-of-touch idiots but really they don't act anymore illogically than anybody else in this lovely manga.

Bleach is spending its last arc doing what it is good at - revealing sword power ups, drawing pretty boys and pretty swords, and kenpachi doing his thing. The sternritter aren't as cool as the Arrancar but most of them are more inventive at least. Naruto is spending its last arc doing what it is expressly bad at, which is Madara and constantly pulling power ups and retcons out of its rear end, his rear end, any rear end it can find.

I just realized what kamui looks like on the last page.

Stay away from my rear end Kishimoto! :tinfoil:


Now that Naruto is the six sage and now that we know that Hinata is a descendant of Kaguya. Wouldn't a relation between them be incestuous?

They share the same ancestor how many generations ago? If Kaguya is the most recent common ancestor, they are as related as any random pair of individuals, ie. not at all.

Not really. The village system is pretty recent, but the Warring Clans era between the Sage and the founding of the village system is implied to have been really long. Kakashi believed that the Sage was just a legend.

He used some eye powers and Uchiha like to close the eye they just used afterwards. Usually it's bleeding though. I think his eye just hurts from using it, though it's quite possible he's doing some sort of constant eye hack right now.

I think it's a "If my eye is open it's using up chakra so let's just keep it shut until I need it" kinda thing. Same as Kakashi always covering his Sharingan with his headgear.

I hope the very next thing Kakashi does is fall over because he's not used to regular depth perception.

I don't know, I found the "I killed your girlfriend for fun to make you work for me" plan pretty endearing. It's more motivating than the Moon-Eye plan at least and it's nice to see super villains getting personally involved in hilariously petty poo poo. Next chapter, Madara will reveal that he was in control of Danzou and personally ordered all the Uchihas to die so he could make a nice eye vault and watch the drama unfold.

Followed by Naruto magicking the understanding of depth perception into his head a fortnight from now, and also healing up the little scuffle he got on his knee after falling by making it healthier than ever.

It's all just so Kakashi can have his right eye destroyed by Madara only to have Obito once again give him a sharingan eye from his death bed.

So FYI, Naruto Ultimate Ninja Storm Revolution is getting more canon backstory besides the Akatsuki and Shisui stories. Kushina is now going to be playable and we're going to see her interact more with Minato and his team. I don't know exactly why Kishimoto decided to never espouse upon these himself, but if they were in the manga we would probably just have beaten Obito, so I'm not complaining.

Well Kishimoto actually works pretty closely with CC2 on those games, so chances are anything new storywise being put in those games is from him or is being approved by him.

I assume Kishimoto deliberately leaves a lot of stuff like that open for other writers; it's the only reason why stuff like Kakashi vs. 7 Swordsmen would have been suggested but not shown. Maybe he got tired of the anime filler being total poo poo and gave them some cues for stuff that would fit into the plot?

Yo.

How'd he do the moon's eye plan after all his giant chakra trees and army of chakra zombie plants got destroyed? Can he just... do the eternal eye now that he has collected enough random eyes to rank up his eye level? What was that giant tree for? Why'd he bother with an army? I feel like he could have snatched the three eyes or so of he was sneaky like a ninja and just stole them one by one without slapping his dick against every Kage and ninja clan in the world. Is Zetsu doing anything? Why did Sakura think she could stand on a level with the immortal teleporting god ninjas with legendary succession techniques? How did Sakura get stabbed so hard her resurrection technique just stopped working? Why am I still reading this?

I don't know why anyone is still reading it, but the giant tree was Kaguya's power or something, and when he absorbed that he got the ability to open the eye on himself. Whereas Obito was just content to let the tree do its thing.

Or that's my reading.
