Chapter 300

[Kyuubi kid]

I know you've been waiting for this, well I have:
http://mangahelpers.com/forum/index.php?topic=2232.new;boardseen#new
EDIT: Guess what? after one year.... hes back!

Mousie: un-Sticky'd

[ENDER]

HELLZ YEAH!!!!!!!!!! BTW..it's not a spoiler..it's out...

[Vishox]

GUESS WHAT?

you gave us a link saying we have to register. come back with a proper link stupid boy.

oh that kind of "GUESS WHAT"...

yeah see i told you sai is gonna get tk'd

[oscarwilt]

Well, then let's see if it works this: http://naruto.japflap.com/index.php?page=media,dl,manga

[phoenix]

yep this one works :D :D :D ty

[ArenaNinja]

wut wut! Well, while many ppl may be happy about seeing Sasuke, I think that the most interesting detail about 300 is Sai's book :D

[oscarwilt]

i think that is more interesting that sasuke has three dots in his sharingan, so, he's able to do the mangeykou

[ArenaNinja]

Nope, he already had three dots, and to do Mangekyou we're still not sure what the requirements are.. Itachi said you have to 'kill your best friend' but i should think there's more to it than that so..

[JustAnime17]

OMFG sasukes back!!! HOORAH!! HOORAH!!

[regina777]

OMFG sasukes back!!! HOORAH!! HOORAH!!

only in the last page. Hair is spiky- cool attitude. and unless the raw is cleaned his eyes are the most visible. as well as his outline- a silhouette.

this really is in line with kishimoto- every hundred chapter has something happening. no wonder most people predicted sasukes arrival at this point.
With the group nearby sasukes lair- there definately is a nice whooping in store for us in the suceeding chapters- who will get whooped- its every ones guess. :P

[imported_Greenlitflag]

For some reason the links on the site aren't working for me (the scanlations at least).

[Mousie]

you guys made a big deal out of nothing..-_-..they shows his eyes in the last page mendokuse...

[CRtwenty]

ZOMG SASUKE! I know it's just his outline... but still... he finally shows up.

And we get a bit of info on Sai now... did he have to kill his brother?

[imported_Greenlitflag]

ZOMG SASUKE! I know it's just his outline... but still... he finally shows up.

And we get a bit of info on Sai now... did he have to kill his brother?

I'm guessing that's the case. He was most likely ordered to kill his brother by ROOT and well... he did even though he really didn't want to. I'm guessing that's how some part of his story will go.

[CRtwenty]

The unfinished picture was kinda creepy though. Faceless Sai = Scary

[RandomGuy]

God that faceless Sai is creepy. Faceless people are always creepy. Sasuke seems like a little ho now. Doesn't seem like the Sasuke we knew.

Eh Duke, haven't you been saying that for like the last 5 chapters or something?

[DukeAbercrombie]

Eh Duke, haven't you been saying that for like the last 5 chapters or something?ya doesnt that make you furious? just a little bit? you know, people saying stupid ass things like how naruto is a copycat of dbz, the worst show ever made?

[AK47]

wow man sasuke finally appeared
it's been a long time
hope sai and sasuke fights

[RandomGuy]

Yea it is annoying =\. Besides the fact htat it really isn't at all like DBZ, Im sure Kishimoto is smart enough to stay away from that style.

Hmm, so did Sai lie about his brother being dead or does that mean his brother was killed by something else? I mean, if Sai killed his brother, he probably would have drawn his brother in the last pages fighting him, then show Sai as the victor. Maybe Sai's brother died before the showdown could happen and now Sai's kind of lost as to what his purpose in life is, which is why hes faceless in the last page.

[AK47]

i think the last pic is supposed to be them together after fighting for a long time

[Hellchild915]

Man better and better every time I wonder if they will show that little bitch sasuke's power

[Ichee]

Everybodies excited that Sasukes back.....

-_-

Im surprised Cr said OMG hes ususally mild and laid back

[Hellchild915]

not really I dont really care for him just want to see how naruto kicks his ass

[steve]

Note: Sask had his sharingan activated.
Could he have improved so much that he can keep it always activated like his brother?
HUMMM

[Hellchild915]

I think so he can probably keep it on like his brother it has been 2 years and a half

[CRtwenty]

The thing with Sai and his brother is pretty interesting... and it's rather hard to determine what happened, since we only have the book and a few cryptic phrases from Sai to go on...

What we know:
Sai had an older brother
That brother is dead
His brother is the white haired boy portrayed in the book

The Book:
On the front cover is a picture of a black haired boy (assumed to be Sai). On the back cover is a picture of a white haired boy (Sai's Brother). Starting with either picture, and going towards the center of the book, it portrays the two boys in a series of fights.

Each fight has the boy using the weapon wielded by the opponent on the previous page. Which makes one believe that they defeated/killed that person.

It continues like this until the middle is reached, where there are two pages. One is blank, the other has a picture of Sai in his current outfit, without a face. Oddly enough, the picture Sai is carrying two swords... the current Sai only carries one. Is the second sword his brothers?

Possible Explanation:
Sai had always wanted to fight with his brother, and when he died, found himself without a purpose in life. This is a possibility, since it would allow him to find some common ground with Sasuke, who also is striving to beat his brother.

I think this is the most likely answer. Since it may allow for some growth from Sasuke. Sasuke is living for revenge, and to beat his brother. Sai was as well until his goal was taken from him. Seeing Sai in his current state may shock Sasuke enough to bring him back to reality, and possibly change his character for the better.

[imported_Greenlitflag]

Is a Iruka a special jounin now? He's dressed Ebisu on the cover..

[CRtwenty]

Iruka's a Chuunin. Though in terms of actual skill he's supposedly low to mid Jounin. Since being a teacher only requires being a Chuunin, and he's not usually sent on missions. He's never seen the need to advance to Jounin.

[superkhanh0]

journin or not its just a name its not like he gonna improve if he got move up to journin level he lost to that tiger boy haha

[KageNaruto]

that one misuki filler really destroyed iruka's reputation. god i hated that saga with a passion.

but this chap... i want a scanalation badly!!!!!!! lol

i hate sasuke but i am still psyched to see him back? is it me or is it that when he is sitting down he looks kinda bulky?

also his cockatoo hair style is still there

[superkhanh0]

scanlation been out for a while

[phoenix]

THEN WHERE IS ITTTT plz post

[CRtwenty]

it was linked on like the first page

[Ichee]

Sasuke seems to be like Naruto when it comes to training.....

He told Orochimaru " I thought you were going to teach me a new technique"

Sound like Naruto and Jaraiya...

-_-

[superkhanh0]

http://mangahelpers.com/forum/index.php?topic=2232.new;boardseen#new
rite here

[imported_Greenlitflag]

The picture of Sai in the middle of the book seems to suggest that he is holding hands with whomever is on the other page (his hand is sorta out and to his side and gets cut off on the edge of the page). Also, Sai should wear his chuunin jacket like in the picture to cover up his fruity belly shirt, he looks so much cooler with the jacket.

[Hellchild915]

It also seems that he is a jutsu stealer or identity stealer because he was always changing weapons in the little book

[BotD]

Gah link isnt working it give a its missing or yur not allowed error... (Yes I am registered/signed in)

[CRtwenty]

Wow, I can't believe I never noticed that.
He IS wearing a belly shirt. I always thought it was like a waistband or something. o_o

[RandomGuy]

I actually like CRs theory about having common ground with Sasuke. Oro said they can "reminisce together" about Konoha, but maybe Kishimoto is planning for them to have more in common than just how they look and Konoha.

[ENDER]

here u go guys..its a MQ (though I say high LQ LOl) Scan..

[JustAnime17]

Wow it really is sounding like the sannin Sasuke is learning Jutsus and crap from orichimaru.... ugh i really dont think snake jutsus fit sasuke. lol.. sasukes sounds content with orichimaru and them i hope they show sasuke next chapter

[regina777]

Wow it really is sounding like the sannin Sasuke is learning Jutsus and crap from orichimaru.... ugh i really dont think snake jutsus fit sasuke. lol.. sasukes sounds content with orichimaru and them i hope they show sasuke next chapter
nothing to say about the sannin part. but who wouldnt like to train with Oro (except he is evil)? if he wasnt evil i am sure many a ninja would love to train under him- he is a genius, legendary, and freaking strong? but he is evil. i guess sasuke and him have found a common ground.

supposedly sasuke might also find common ground with sai- then we will have two of narutos teammates (all from team 7 and males with some sad past) all leaving him to Oros side- ironic, aint it!!!

[JustAnime17]

Snake Jutsus + Sasuke = BLEH!

[MATCHSTICK]

Yay to Sasuke's return, even though i never really liked him i still want to know how he looks like. I have a feeling that this is only a teaser that Kishimoto is using to play with us, so when orochimaru or someone else feels the presence of an intruder they probably would all escape and then we won't see sasuke in sunlight until probably chapter 400 or something.

I don't understand why Sasuke is complaining about orochimaru teaching him a new jutsu, i mean with the sharingan how long could it possibly take, inpatient bum :x ! I hope he doesn't fight like oro did against naruto now, i mean with all the shedding, extending neck and vomitting.

From the last chapter Sakura's expression was like OMG, but after seeing Sai's book my expression was WTF? I mean all the theorys which have been speculated about this will probably end up being close enough to the real deal at the end.

Overall chapter was good the only bad thing was that it made us want more, curse the 7 days between chapters!

[RandomGuy]

Well every time I want to complain about the 7 day wait between chapters, I think about the several months of waiting the anime watchers have had to go through just to get a decent episode. They haven't even got one yet...

[Glorious Ular]

I think the reason that Sasuke is impaiteint is becasue he knows Oro's plans and wants to get out there with as much strength as possible. remember when naruto tells him at the valley of the end. So Sasuke is gonna try and learn as much as he can and then im sure he has a plan to get outa there.

[regina777]

Which will possibly fail- Oro will definately have sure fire measures in place to prevent sasukes escape. For sasuke to be what he is now and the camp in which he is- that really sets this manga alight. it is a good mix.

it will really be annoying if for some reason we dont see sasuke again for that long- Kishimoto is smart enough to pull such a prank. hmm! am i hoping too much.

[Glorious Ular]

The only thing stopping Sasuke from leaving is the fact that he wants to get stronger and kill itachi. He could have left during the time that Oro was out with Kabuto. Its just a matter of time before he figures he stong or willing to go. but also he could get saved. I have a belief that Sasuke will have another chance at Itachi.

[regina777]

i wouldnt be surprised if Oro has soo much understanding of sasuke's need to defeat itachi that he wont ever leave the lair until he feels he is strong enough. so probably it is true sasuke just stayed of his own accord

but i wont leave out the fact that Oro will have safeguards in place so that the sharingan doesnt leave his grasp- right under his nose.

[steve]

Im kindof thinking that Sai and Sask wil fight. I think it might be a good way to illustrate both of their strength aswell.

Furthermore, Yamato + Co. will be around pretty soon with some luck. That should be cause for some interested chapters.

[y.o.]

how can you sayy that, imagine Itachi w/ snake justu, that is the most insane thought to ever cross my mind, that is ultimate, I cant wait to see sauske vs tACHI ROUND 3, HOPEFULLY SAUSKE WILL GET A HIT OFF AT LEAST

[Glorious Ular]

Ya i would like to see Sasuke show Itachi his curse seal. That would be interesting. Especially the curse seal chidori!

[KageNaruto]

im sure itachi already knows about that.

at the aktsuki the guy was like" itachi your bro went to oro"

and itachi is like "that doesent matter/i dont care"

[MATCHSTICK]

Another thing, if Oro wanted Sasuke to get stronger why didn't he take him alongside kabuto to go to the bridge to take down what he thought was Sasori? Or did he think that he wasn't strong enough, or perhaps he just didn't want his possible vessel killed.

I think Itachi's reaction to Sasuke's curse seal will pretty much be nought, we don't see him really care for anything and this is no exception. I hope this arc will leave to something bigger like an akatsuki member comes in, rather than chase, and they eventually run away.

Query: Do you think Sasuke will wear the sound's forehead protector?

[y.o.]

Its just a matter of time before he figures he stong or willing to go. but also he could get saved. I have a belief that Sasuke will have another chance at Itachi.

Im willin to beat that it will be soon too, the story seems to be going at a nonstop quick pase all of a sudden, maybe so the anime can streach out these scences far longer.

[Blackmansa]

Sasuke is a jerk. but one could not wonder how many jutsu he has copied and mastered from orochimaru. i mean orochimaru knew as many justsu as sandaime. But no matter what he still wont beat itachi. If orochimaru is scared of him, then sasuke, no matter how much he learned, will still not be able to beat him. I wanna see his face after he confronts itachi again and he still can't make him sweat.

[MATCHSTICK]

I wouldn't necessarily agree to that. The edge the Sasuke has over Orochimaru is Sharingan or perhaps even m.sharingan. If both Sasuke and Itachi have loads of jutsus, can both use m.sharingan and if all their physical qualities like speed are the same then it would be pretty close.

But since we dont know we can only assume Itachi is still in the lead, though i would very doubt that Sasuke won't even put up a fight against Itachi though.

[Hellchild915]

There is no way that sasuke could have passed Itachi in power because Im pretty sure he hasnt just been standing around for 3 years doing nothing Im pretty sure he is still making the sharingan more powerful and can still destroy sasuke in a fight just not as bad as before

[Glorious Ular]

I think that the only reason Oro is scared of Itachi is the fact that Itachi could copy and match most of Oro's jutsu's, thats why Oro doesnt want to fight him or the fact that he is stronger.

[regina777]

I think that the only reason Oro is scared of Itachi is the fact that Itachi could copy and match most of Oro's jutsu's, thats why Oro doesnt want to fight him or the fact that he is stronger.
that may be true but i doubt itachi with his level of sharingan mastery will be going around copying and using other guys jutsus. kekkei genkai masters delve into maximizing their bloodlines potential (and that is mostly what we have seen itachi do).
also there are some jutsus not copyable- summoning for instance that we know some people have demonstrated to have. Oro has summoning.

One can say that Oros statement that itachi was stronger than him was more in line with their use and mastery of genjutsu (oros specialty) of which the sharingans is way better.

and is Oro really scared of itachi? scared i mean- really scared of itachi?

[kjrav]

instead of trainig I think Itachi has been planning on away to capture naruto so he might be the same stremth level.

[Ichee]

Sasuke is Itachi's little brother.....

You don't really see the younger brother beating the older brother..........

When it comes to fighting the older brother always seem to more relaxed than the younger brother...

-_-

[superkhanh0]

-_-
sorry but thats dumb, why cant the lil brother beat the older one?, its not the age but the power they have.

[regina777]

fortunately older brothers dont always remain the strongest. at times they rather become a standard to be equalled or betterred. Which is exactly what sasuke is trying to do.

of course- it is understandable- that after just 3 years sasuke cant possibly fight Itachi- an akatsuki member and a master of his kekkei genkai- and win. that is why he is clamoring for more jutsus from Oro.

what i am more interested in at themoment is the possible confrontation b.n team Yamato and Oro + his cronies

[Valleyman]

The long awaited appearance of Sasuke. Now all you Sasuke freaks can go on about how cool he looks.

[imported_Greenlitflag]

The long awaited appearance of Sasuke. Now all you Sasuke freaks can go on about how cool he looks.

I have a feeling his attire will be less than cool for some reaon (another mid-riff maybe? :) ) but I hope I'm wrong.

[Valleyman]

Well I meant how he looks from the shadow with sharingan and stuff.

and is Oro really scared of itachi? scared i mean- really scared of itachi?
Omg....weve been through this so much already about Oro vs Itachi. I really think Itachi could kill Oro. Oro said it himself that Itachi was stronger. This is what were given, and imo people are taking it too far to say "Oro was lying to us." Come on guys, I think Oro knows his own abilities and Itachi's abilities FAR better than we do, so why are we trying to contradict him? Secondly, Oro has done about zero genjutsus so far in the manga, so I dont see where you got that Oro's specialty is genjutsu. Third, Oro left Akatsuki because Itachi was stronger than him. Episode 81, Chapter 140. Check it yourself.

[CRtwenty]

Oro has that killing intent Genjutsu that he uses to stun people. I think that's the only one we've seen him use, but it's a pretty powerful one.

And people take characters words way too seriously. There's not enough information on Itachi's abilities to really judge how strong he'd be in comparison to Orochimaru.

[Glorious Ular]

-Im thinking that Oro isnt SCARED of Itachi just scared of his potential in a battle vs. himself.

-Next i agree that there are jutsu's that Itachi possiblly could not copy like you said summonings. (i wonder if Itachi has any summons?)
Also the idea that Itach could KILL Oro is pretty ridiculas because even though Oro states Itachi is stronger we still have seen more of Oro and his jutsu's performed.

-Someone also stated that he havent seen Oro perform any Genjutsu's, THATS NOT TRUE. In the Chuunin exam, in the Death Forest we see Oro encounter team 7. When one of them rips off Oros face(i forget who) he gets mad and puts one finger on his eye and performs the Shikumi no Jutsu - Death Viewing Technique (Killing Intent). Which shows Sakura the bloody corpse of Sasuke with kunai's all over. Im not sure if he shows the others anything. But they were unable to move and Sasuke had to stab himself with his own kunai.

-The fact that Sasuke will never surpass Itachi is a load of shit, the only reason that Itachi left Sasuke alive is for him to hate him and eventually kill him and Itachi knows he will one day. He says it! Also someone states(i think kakashi) that Sasuke has the better Sharingan. Many people surpass their elders and teachers.

[Holger]

Well I guess when chapter 301 one comes out will see him in the light or something...my big question is...the book? The pitcures of Sai killing off all them dudes then takeing their equipment afterwords and useing them and his brother?

[Glorious Ular]

Its pretty much the story of his and his brothers life. They go through life killing and gaining strength untill they are forced to kill each other to gain more strength, which ends with Sai killing his bro.

Which shows Sakura the bloody corpse of Sasuke with kunai's all over. Im not sure if he shows the others anything. But they were unable to move and Sasuke had to stab himself with his own kunai.

First of all, Sasuke clearly stated that fear Oro used on him during the second Chuunin Exam was NOT genjutsu, and it was just killing intent, or in his words, "Tada no Sakki da." Even if it was, that hardly qualifies Oro as favoring Genjutsu.

Secondly, the fact that we hardly know anything about Itachi supports that we should believe Oro's words. How can we, mere viewers and obviously not ninjas, judge whos stronger between Oro and Itachi when weve seen so little of them? Oro and Itachi were in the same Organization. Oro knows his own limits and Itachi's abilities FAR better than we could ever hope to know, so I say we should believe Oro when he says Itachi is stronger.

[Ichee]

Or Sai older brother killing him......

[Uchiha_Madara]

Where are all the Sasuke fans hiding? come out from your lairs! he is BACK!

I cant say how long i have been waiting for my fave character(next to Yondaime) to appear... And here he is. He is like the same old Sasuke we know back than, except he(in my opinion) can now keep his sharingan permanently activated(looks sooooo koool). also he seems really tall. I also think that he has learned Snake Jutsus. Not the icky shedding skin ones like oro used but the cool summon snakes ones... also no-one has discussed the creepy snake thing with candles for eyes that he is on... is it a statue? or a is it a summon? my copy of the scanlation is pretty low q. So i cant tell.

BUT ANYWAYS HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSS BAAAAAAAAAACCCCCCCCCK!!!!

[KageNaruto]

that snake is a statue with candles in the eye sockets

[Hellchild915]

ahahahahah how is he going to summon a snake with candles in the eye's

[kjrav]

I'm sure Oro meant it when he said Itachi is stronger but that Doesnt mean Itachi would own him or even win. Im sure when Negi and Naruto fought for example that Negi was stronger than naruto but Naruto found away around that and won. Nothing is certain in a true fight basically.

[y.o.]

I thought that was blantley obvious!! I can see a snake w/ flames in his eyes, but he literally had candles!!

And that last stzatement is very true, but I still find it hard to believe that Itachi can be stronger than Oro after what we've seen from him, if thats the case I cant wait to see what he can really do!!

[kjrav]

Well I mean it's pretty obvious that cause who have we seen him fight sasuke and stall team naruto and he didnt really fight those jounin more like a simple skirmish or showing off of the mangekyou,and he didnt really do anything with Jiraiya there hasnt really been anything for him to go all out for but we wont see him do that for a while probally.

[regina777]

ahahahahah how is he going to summon a snake with candles in the eye's
that is hilarious- summoning a snake with candles in his eyes.

And that last stzatement is very true, but I still find it hard to believe that Itachi can be stronger than Oro after what we've seen from him, if thats the case I cant wait to see what he can really do!!
i am as disbelieving as you. i watched the episodes when itachi/kisame faced jiraiya. and itachi saying that- "the best we could do is kill him and get killed as well; even if we have more men the result will be the same".
that is why i am more in tune with the argument that Oros statement was more in line with not been able to overpower itachi with his genjutsu which is probably weaker when compared to MS. of course maybe not genjutsu alone but more in line with it.

[MATCHSTICK]

I just think considering Itachi's speed it'll be good enough evidence of him being strong, of course i can always be wrong.

But ponder upon this folks, what if oro takes sasuke's body and fights itachi, what then? (though it probably would never happen)

[RandomGuy]

I'm sure Oro meant it when he said Itachi is stronger but that Doesnt mean Itachi would own him or even win. Im sure when Negi and Naruto fought for example that Negi was stronger than naruto but Naruto found away around that and won. Nothing is certain in a true fight basically.
Well Neji was being cocky. Secondly Neji was basing his belief on a Kyuubi-less Naruto, and in that case he definitely won. Oro is saying he would lose, even without considering possibly special powers of Itachi's. Unless Itachi has some sickness like Kimimaro that Oro doesn't know about, I cant see any outside factors that could make Oro wrong, like it did for Neji when he said he would win against Naruto.

And again, who are we to judge over Oro himself?

[kjrav]

at a certain point negi had too realize that naruto was gonna give him a run for his money or even win so cockiness dosen't matter after acertain point .And how do we know one of them dosnt have a secret power we havnt seen all their moves just yet.And the mangekyou could be considered a ilness to a certain extent since it deteriates his sight w/t every usage.and there are many factores that could influence a fight I mean look at terrain, weather ,and motives and that is to just name a few.basically what I'm trying to say is that it's a fight and a realistic fight is unpredictable in witch anyone can win.

And to answer you Question I'm a reader who has the right to interpet oro in any way that I want. Who are you to tell me who I can and cant judge.

[KageNaruto]

the government tell you what to judge and believe :shock: .

but back on topic i see itachi and oro as equals

[yordady]

dam y didnt day let us c saskes costum i want 2 c it

[RandomGuy]

Hey, I didn't mean it like that man. You can judge what you want, I never said you cant. Im just saying Oro's judgement on the matchup is probably better than our judgement.

Anyway, Oro knows whether or not he has a secret power, and even with that knowledge he thinks Itachi can win. He might not know if Itachi has some secret power, which would further push the matchup in Itachi's favor.

[y.o.]

I just think considering Itachi's speed it'll be good enough evidence of him being strong, of course i can always be wrong.

But ponder upon this folks, what if oro takes sasuke's body and fights itachi, what then? (though it probably would never happen)

I dought that will happen cause the whole story so far lead you to believe that sauske will fight Itachi, so I dont think that Oro will fight him w/ suskes body!!

[regina777]

yeah- that is a good point. that is where the story is actually headed at the moment.
but just for a little moment, imagine that after Oro takes over sasukes body, supposing sasuke couldnt kill itachi (or supposing he hadnt fought itachi yet), and Oro needs to fend off attacks from akatsuki who already think he is a nuisance- i wouldnt be surprised if there is an encounter b.n itachi and Oro.

and of course, ORO might not mind paying itachi back for not givinghim his sharingan- the sheer delight in paying back.

[y.o.]

I would like to see that fight b/n them 2 more than any other fight in naruto, even a rematch b/n naruto and sauske!!

[regina777]

wow!!! that will be more than wicked- shh!!! a fight b.n Oro and Itachi- what a mouth watering proposition.
unfortunately we wont be shown such beautiful match ups. Most of what we may see will involve naruto in kyuubi mode, akatsuki, and a few others. tch!!! we cant get all we want- right?

[y.o.]

There is a slight possibility that will will see that and then Itachi beats Oro, cause something like Oro gets distracted cause he sees Sauske about to get engage in the fight and does something to protect his container and then sauske fights him!

I wonder about the translation of chapter 140. My little bro told me that in the anime Oro says Itachi was too strong. My bro understood this to mean Itachi is too strong to be influenced by Oro. The point being that how can Oro without the use of his arms feel confident enough to fight 2 saanins at the same time but consider himself weaker than Itachi who while with Kisama was not confident enough to defeat Jiraya? I dont know, I hope you guys can advise me. :?:
