Naruto 471 - Octopus vs. Shark November 12

Show Spoiler for Naruto Chapter 471 ▼
Well that’s news to me. If you were taking bets on who would win a fight between an octopus and a shark, I’d probably say a shark without a second thought. Killer Bee’s line made me curious enough to look it up though, so here’s an example of an octopus taking out a shark. I don’t know what’s more impressive though, Bee’s ability to tame his 8-tailed beast and be in complete control while using his version of the jinchuuriki cloak, or Kisame’s infinite chakra-battery Samehada that he can surprisingly fuse with. However, I can say that Naruto (as a series) is looking less like a battle between ninjas and more like a battle between freak shows at this rate. Speaking of which, what’s with Samehada anyway? It’s nice to know that it has a limit on how much chakra it can absorb in one go, but it still looks like a huge porcupine more than anything else. Also, I don’t really need to hear Kisame talk about how big it’s gotten. -_-;
The other notable part is Fuu’s attempt to retrieve Ao’s Byakugan by making him cut off his own head off. While Danzo probably wants the eye retrieved so that other villages don’t have a Konoha kekkei genkai (bloodline ability), is anyone else starting to think he might want it for himself? Sharingan + Byakugan? Not saying it’ll happen (because it’s the wrong-sided eye anyway), but that would be pretty overpowered.

‘Battle between ninjas’? There are NINJAS in this series?

A MERE invertabrite(sp?) what hunts a octopus cause that shark dinner now
I think its the mythos we give sharks that we automatically assume it can beat everything
its like fearing a fat guy just cause he’s big doesnt mean he’s strong… I would go with killer bee if it wasnt for the fact kisame sword ABSORBS chakra and rlly killer bee octo form is nothing but a mass of chakra

If Kisame wins this which he most likely will I’ll be irritated. Kisame’s sword is way too overpowered and to be able to take on a 8 tailed so easily makes these tailed monsters look like a stupid joke. If he wins then he is almost on par with the 4th hokage who had to sacrifice his very life just to SEAL the 9 tails and that would just be ridiculous. I like Kisame, he’s one of my favorite Akatsuki but overpowered is overpowered.
These ninja battles no longer have the charm they use to, I agree with that. no strategy or stealth. back in the early years every jutsu mattered and wasn’t unbalanced, no its super powered ninjas who would have destroyed even Kakashi back in the day if they ever met up. I really hope Killerbee beats Kisame he’s cool in a way.

wow Kisame is 1 word. Broken.

Kisame’s gone Beast mode lol, i cant wait to see what happens next.

Killer Bee seems to rely too much on his Tailed Beast, meaning Gaara and naruto are probably better than him if their beasts were extracted or they don’t use them.
Who would win: 4-Tailed Kyuubi or 7-tailed Hachabi? Though there’s no doubt 6-8 Tail Kyuubi could curbstomp 8-Tail hachabi with its nuke-like Menacing Ball

I agree with the sentiment that battles in Naruto are now uninspiring. I mean, remember Naruto vs. Neji, Naruto vs. Gaara, etc.? Those were all awesome battles with cool quirks and twists. The series has overall gone downhill after the years-gap after Sasuke’s desertion.
I also agree there are too many broken abilities like Kisame’s sword. There really aren’t ninjas in this series any more. How often do you see a shuriken being thrown or someone doing some good old bunshin no jutsus?
I used to love this series even before the narutards showed up. Now, I’m only keeping up for the sake of finishing it.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fa7ck5mcd1o < the idea of this chapter.
Sadly with this, this manga has finally completelly jumped the shark.
This chapter has proved that even if naruto was already nothing like the original first ~50 chapters of the manga, now Everything’s Even Worse With Sharks
I feat that this manga won’t be able to Submarine the shark
The stuff Kishi pulled out ever since the Pain Arc is ridiculous….no, scratch that, the stuff Kishi pulled out ever since the start of PArt II was ridiculous.
I miss the old good storytelling days of Zabuza…

There is a story, but there really isn’t a story. That’s how I feel about the current plot of Naruto. The magic is, sadly, gone.

I waiting for the epic plot twist where Kisame is actually the 10 tailed beast…
viral at 8:03 pm on November 12th, 2009
He is propably the minus one-tailed, and that means he don’t even have a dick.
SomeKindaNick at 8:41 pm on November 12th, 2009
@prox: And you only say that now after 7 beasts were stolen effortlessly by other akatsuki members?
Also am I really the only one who enjoyed this chapter?
Sure Kisame’s broken, but than again, did Killer Bee really did anything aside from showing off his huge-ass chakra? NO.
I mean really, the logic behined all his moves is “bash forward with mega-force”! Obviously Kisame will counter such obvious moves. It’s like heading stright to a guy with a shotgun to kill him with your knife instead of going behined him where you have the adventage.
Lame analogy aside, there actually needs to be some sort of tactic to beat him aside mindlessly bashing.
Also I see nothing bad about everyone god-moding. It’s just as intresting as always.

Seeing this chapter made me laugh as I’d just finished watching one of the world’s worst movies- MegaShark VS Giant Octopus.

Ah but you can’t say that for the entire part II. Granted, all of the Akatsuki are monsters without exception but the battle with Hidan/Kakuzu pair still managed to be pretty jutsu-heavy and enjoyable. To an extent Pain’s arc was too(both Jiraiya’s battle and the invasion). I agree though that Kisame seems pretty overpowered but really it’s probably only because of the rock/paper/scissors like relation in this fight. A Jinchuuriki who rely mostly on chakra are at a disadvantage against him while Might Guy or Rock Lee could probably handle him. That said I really hope that Killer Bee survives this encounter- he’s just plain awesome.

sharingan vs byakugan = Geass!
tman at 9:02 pm on November 12th, 2009
sharingan + byakugan = Geass!

I cant believe most of you are complaining about the story, we have two of the most powerful ninjas fighting and yet you are all like `kisame is broken, this manga is awful`
i cant believe you people, just enjoy the fight and if you dont, stop reading naruto until is over >.>
