Naruto Manga Reviews
Ugh there’s so many rumors out there for this week’s naruto, and hard to tell what’s the real deal or not! It seems that it is highly suggested that Kakashi dies in this week’s manga chapter…but then I found the following alleged translation- not confirmed however, so don’t get your hopes up too much, but perhaps Kakashi doesn’t die? Despite the ominous flashbacks that seem to be in the manga chapter?
Flashbacks:
Page 2:
Kakashi: This is it…I’m about to die.
Page 3:
Pein: A summoning technique? He should be about out of chakra.
Dog: Good thing we made it in time, this reverse summon should take Kakashi to a safe location.
Dog: This guys is too powerful, the chances of us running away is slim, looks like we’ll have to use “that” and hold him off until reinforcements arrive.
Dogs: Arrroooooo…
Pein: This…this chakra is…
Page 4: Chapter title: Hope.
So it’s kind of hard to tell without seeing the pictures, but from the translation spoilers I’ve seen it seems that this week’s naruto chapter is the last we’ll see of Kakashi! nooooooo
Spoilers:
425: Those left behind
The cover picture is the KIA memorial and team Minato. It abruptly goes to a slide-show description of Kakashi’s past. Sakumo also makes an appearance.
At Obito’s (and others’ ) funeral, Rin and Kakashi lay down flowers. We see Obito’s goggles. Close-up of the Sharingan.
Without changing the Sharingan, what it sees becomes the Kyuubi. Kakashi is in his ANBU outfit. Guy is there as well.
Kakashi and his team use a jutsu without effect. Guy and his team are injured by one of the Kyuubi’s attacks, and are treated by Rin’s medical team.
Kakashi: “That was sloppy…! Guy”
Rin: “It’s all right, they won’t die…!!”
The barrier ninjutsu protecting the medical area is torn open by the Kyuubi’s claws. A beam of chakra is shot towards there.
(Damnit…!!) Kakashi seemingly takes a direct hit, but it turns out to be Rin shielding him.
Rin: “I must protect my comrades… I definitely cannot die here…”
Kakashi realises he again couldn’t save Rin. He cries.
“Only you… please forgive me!!”
He uses the Raikiri, injuring the Kyuubi’s foreleg, but the Kyuubi attacks back with his tails, directly hitting him.
Kakashi disappears behind a barrier, but the Kyuubi attacks once again with a chakra beam, when the Yondaime appears at the targeted place.
Kakashi: “Sensei…”
Yondaime: “Relax Kakashi, I won’t let this monster destroy the village”
He summons Gamabunta and, for some reason, a huge scroll and looks behind him, smiling.
Yondaime: “It’ll soon be over”
Kakashi faints. When he wakes up, he’s in a hospital room and hears from Guy that the Yondaime died in battle.
After that, there’s once again a funeral scene. Kakashi swears an oath in front of the grave, then the flashback ends.
Kakashi looks up at the sky, seeing the faces of Minato, Obito, and Rin.
“…that’s right… I still…have something I should do…”
The figures of Minato and co change into those of Naruto and co.
“You guys are living in a new era…”
After that, he closes his eyes
(This will be the last time… Lend me some strength, Obito…!!)
Summoned dogs appear, escaping from the rubble.
“I’ll be fine… apart from that, take this and go the place I specified” “Go!”
The dogs disperse
“You didn’t watch your back, Hatake Kakashi…”
Asura Pain appears behind Kakashi, stabbing him with a special new electrical saw.
“No… with this, you can’t escape”
He uses an extra-large Raikiri. The cloth on his arm and his mask are torn away by the electrical current, revealing Kakashi’s face.
“Your future is death…!!”
The extra-large Raikiri tears Asura Pain into very small pieces.
It ends with Sakumo, Minato and co watching over Kakashi as he uses up his last power.
I know it’s pretty early for the new spoilers to be out, but I started looking and found a youtube video of the supposed raws from the upcoming week’s Naruto 425 chapter. You can see what you think, it looks pretty real, Kakashi fighting Pein etc… too bad I don’t speak/read Japanese so I can’t actually tell exactly what’s supposed to happen next week, but you can get the idea since fighting is pretty self explanatory from the pictures!
In case you were wondering why there’s no new naruto chapter this week…well it’s because there’s no new naruto chapter released this week. T_T I know. We have to wait a whole second week to find out if Kakashi actually dies or not…hopefully author Kishimoto got enough pleading fan mail in the meantime to convince him not to kill Kakashi…man that would be so sad.
But in any case it will be interesting to see what happens next. Will the new secrets about Pein, that Shizune is about to reveal to the village ninjas, help them in coming up with a new strategy to defeat him/them? Can Tsunade keep up her healing the entire village with her slugs? Or maybe it will be another week of close calls and fighting…always so many cliffhangers!
In any case hope you’re all having a good weekend ^_^!
While the rest of konoha is busy dealing with the multiple Peins attacking and destroying the village, Danzo has been plotting to overthrow Tsunade and take over Konoha!
Do you think anyone suspected Danzo of plotting this?? It was pretty obvious that he was bitter about the leadership of konoha, and he seems like a pretty militant, take matters into his own hands so I’d be surprised if everyone in the village is totally surprised that he would do something like this… but really good luck man, Tsunade has the whole family connections thing (her brother was the 4th hokage), and she was in the famous 3-ninja Sannin group with the 3rd hokage as the leader, so it’s no wonder she’s the hokage now. Plus it seems the villagers like her, unlike Danzo …would they really accept him as a leader?
Well, the battle in Konoha continues, with Iruka on the ground and in bad shape, and the ninjas trying to figure out the secret to Pein’s great powers. The sad part was that Chouji’s dad died to save him while they and Kakashi were fighting Pein :(. But whether Kakashi will die is still up in the air, for like the 3rd or 4th week! Talk about cliffhanger endings. At the end of the last chapter, we saw Pein coming in for the kill, and a grim-looking sillouette of Kakashi- but then this week, we just see Kakashi very weak but still alive- he tells Chouji to run and tell others what they’ve learned about Pein from fighting him, and then he resolves to give his life to help Chouji get away and do as much as he can to fight Pein. But it is still unknown whether someone will come to Kakashi’s rescue, or will he actually die after all this lead up???
Note- it seems there will be no new naruto chapter next week, so Kishimoto can work on more chapters….T_T

Juugo, whom always thought of Sasuke as his ‘connection’ to Kimimaro.
Birthday: Oct 1, Age 18, Libra
Height: 202.1cm
Weight: 75.8kg
Blood Type: AB
Personality: my pace, cowardly, violent
Likes: small fish, beef
Dislikes: chicken

Hobbies: Playing with birdies, forest bathing.
Usually a calm person, though one time he became so angry that he devoured an entire village, earning him the fearsome nickname Tenbin. Cursing his existence, he took to secluding himself in caves, until Kimimaro came to him. Following Kimimaro, Juugo went to one of Oreo’s human experimentation labs, and that’s how the curse seal came to be. Both Kimimaro and Orochimaru died as time passed, and he went back into seclusion. The light that beckoned him forth again was Sasuke, the person Kimimaro entrusted his life to.
Ahhhhh nooooo! Spoilers for the new naruto chapter do not look good! Well see for yourself, but multiple sources say there may be bad news for Kakashi this week…T_T

Kakashi has a nail in his forehead.
Kakashi: i’m losing it, Not now please, not like this. My chakra in uncontrolable.
Pain: I am now yours to be obeyed. May Pain be known to all.
Kakashi: …
Kakahi stands up, head down, then looks up. We see a metol rod on his forehead.The right eye has the Rinnengan but the left eye is shut this time.
Pain: Finish them off then meet me at the Entrance point.
Kakashi: Hmmph.
Kakashi hits chouji’s dad with Raikiri.
Chouji’s dad: what….?
Kakashi walks off into the far distance.
Chouji: YOU!
Chouji’s dad: STOP!
Iruka comes back to the scene
Iruka: What happened?
Chouji: Kakashi is dead…
Iruka: Kakashi….
In the image we then see Pain with all the other bodies + kakashi.
Pain: Naruto, be prepared here we come.
Next week: Secret unveiled.
If you remember a few chapters ago, Tsunade told the little frog Gamakichi (I think?) to go call Naruto back to Konoha. But he appeared to be killed by Danzo who is helping Pein and Akatsuki out in their schemes. So this week we see Naruto is still training and has no idea what’s going on back at home!
In this part he thought about how Konoha was doing, and whether he should be worried about the village. But then the frog master that’s training him says oh they’ll be fine since there are so many strong shinobi in the village so don’t worry! Naruto will be so mad though when he finds out what happened, especially if he misses out on getting to try out his new moves that he’s learning!

Kakuzu from Akatsuki (deceased)
The story of how Kakuzu came to walk a life of infinite time begins back in the days that the Shinobi villages were formed around the world.
As a elite ninja from Takigakure (the Village Hidden Amongst Waterfalls), Kakuzu took on a mission to assassinate the Hokage. This mission, however, ended in failure before the might of the secret Mokuton jutsu.
Despite the insurmountable danger faced in the mission, that which awaited upon his return to his village was the stigma and harsh punishment associated with failure. In repose to this treatment, a wrong levied against a shinobi who had put life and limb on the line for his village, Kakuzu came to held a violent hatred as he escaped from imprisonment.
And in his flight from the village, Kakuzu took with him its most prized forbidden jutsu, and along with it the every last one of the village elders hearts…
