Welcome to Gaia! ::

i agree with you both. ( doubt it was a prank.)

So...squeee..*cough*, can't wait for the next chapter to see what happens to sasuke. 3nodding

This chapter hasn't even bothered me a slight bit on narusaku. From my point of view I just see it as a friend helping another friend and nothing else. So, don't worry, but if sakura placed her arm around his shoulder and nudge next to him....then I would worry.

Wheee! i just thought of something. You know how chapter 344 is called "rebirth" or"regeneration" maybe it referring to Sasuke's second goal. You know and they just was done explaining that the 'kings' are the next generation of konoha so maybe its the same as the Uchiha Clan

But if he does take Sasuke's body, I wonder if Sakura can counteract it.

I mean.... what would be the point of having Naruto and Sakura FAIL in getting Sasuke back? That will do so many things

1- Naruto will have lied to Sakura and broken a promise
2- The point of the 'nice guy pose' will be defeated
3- The training Naruto and Sakura did for two years will be in vain
4- End of sharingan weilding shinobi
5- Konoha will be utterly defeated (figuratively, at least)
6- Orochimaru will be a freaking jutsu pig... even more so than now. Bye-bye Tsunade's advantage with super human strenght and medical ninjutsu.
7- Naruto wont' become Hokage, since he said "Can someone become Hokage if they can't even save their own friend? What do you think, Sasuke?"
8- Sakura will feel even more useless than she already does, even though she's the most un-useless kunoichi in Konoha (stupid Ino just sits there until the fight is over. ARGH! *was mad about that*)
9- All those 'suspicous Kabuto' parts in the manga will be fruitless
10- SASUSAKU WILL DIE.

So, I don't think it's going to happen razz

Hehehehehe, I love my points too, especially when they're pointless points... but these weren't.

I agree with you though razz

The only twist I'd like to see is if Orochimaru gets Sasu's body, that Sakura pulls Orochimaru out through HIS FREAKING NOSE. And then sasuke is Sasuke again. *nods*

I mean, that is what Orochimaru is after all-- an annoying, over sized booger that needs to be picked out and disposed of.

Just the mentioning of Sai reminded me of a gif someone made for the Anti-NaruSaku fanclub at the Naruto Forums XD

"Sai and Kakashi don't support it. So why should we?"

*falls over*

Anyway *picks self up*

It has been my strong belief that Naruto and Sakura won't see Sasuke again until they're fighthing Akatsuki-- particularly closer to Itachi. I have no idea why, but that has always been my idea XD

And I do think that everyone has been surpassing everyone-- and I wonder what Sakura did in the time Naruto learned his jutsu, and all the other time. I expect she's come up with something.

When are we goign to see her use some Genjutsu? Kakashi keeps saying that she's a natural genjutsu type, but all we've ever seen her do is dispell it. I say Kurenai teaches her. *nods*

Aha. OH MY GAWD. xDDD

There has been a spoiler picture released -- see the post above -- and a script that goes a long with it that most people are SURE is REAL.

If so, then WOW. Sasuke verbally PWNED Orochimaru into oblivion.

Highlight to read the entire script:

大蛇丸の両手に刺さったチャクラの剣をさらに押し進めるサスケ
剣は両手を貫通し壁まで到達する
*Sasuke pushes the chakra blade even further into Orochimaru’s arms. The blade goes all the way through his arms and stabs the wall behind him.

サスケ「大蛇丸　アンタはオレより弱い」
Sasuke: Orochimaru, you’re weaker than I am.

「・・もうアンタにオレの体をくれてやる必要も無くなったわけだ」
Sasuke: …so there’s no more point in me giving my body to you.

大蛇丸「言うわね・・うちはのひよっこが」
Orochimaru: The Uchiha chick…sure has a mouth on him.

サスケ「フッ・・ひよっこじゃなきゃ手に入りそうもなかんたんだろ?アンタさ」
Sasuke: Hmmph…if I weren’t a baby chick then there’s no way you could’ve gotten me here, right?

上から見た二人。考えている大蛇丸
*Both of them looking down on each other while Orochimaru thinks.

サスケ「イタチが無理だった・・だからひよっこのオレを狙ったんだろ?」
Sasuke: Itachi was out of your reach…so that’s why you targeted me, the baby chick right?

「そうだろ?　”三忍”と謳われた天才さんよ」
Sasuke: Isn’t that right, genius called one of the “sannin”.

サスケ「だがアンタは世間で言うただの天才でしか無かった・・」
Sasuke: but at the end of the day you’re just a genius in the world…

「うちはの名を超えるどころか届きもしない」
Sasuke: Not enough to surpass or even match the name of the Uchiha.

「どんな天才もうちはの前では凡人に成り下がるのさ
Sasuke: No matter the genius, they all fall to mediocrity in front of the Uchiha.

サスケ「自分の体を薬漬けにし体を乗り越えてまでうちはの力にいやらしく近づこうと
　　　　するアンタの行為はこの名を持つオレからすればあさましく滑稽だ」
Sasuke: As someone with the name Uchiha it’s pathetic and laughable to see you drug yourself up and switch bodies just to inch yourself a little closer to the power of the Uchiha.

サスケ「それにアンタのやり方は好きじゃない・・アンタの目的は何だ?」
Sasuke: That and I don’t like the way you go about things…just what is your goal?

「この世の道理を解き明かすだの何だのと　下らない利己的な理由で他人を 玩具のように弄び続けている」
Sasuke: To continue using other people like tools just to unlock the order of the world or whatever the ridiculous other reasons you have.

サスケの回想。「己の器を量るためだ」「それが重要なのだ」というイタチ
*Sasuke flashback. Itachi saying, “To measure the depth of my own ability—that is what is important.”

サスケ「反吐が出る」
Sasuke: It makes me sick.

一気に詰め寄るサスケ。
*Sasuke storms at Orochimaru suddenly.

大蛇丸は口をあけると何かが 飛び出す。そしてそれはサスケの横を通り過ぎる。サスケはそれを見定める
*As Orochimaru opens his mouth something flies out. It shoots past Sasuke. Sasuke manages to see what it is.

サスケ「白いウロコの大蛇・・それがアンタの正体だったとはな・・」
Sasuke: A white snake…so that’s your true form then…

サスケの後ろにはウロコが小さい蛇でできた大蛇。それが大蛇丸だった
*Behind Sasuke is a big snake made of many little snakes. That is Orochimaru.

サスケ「体から体へ乗り換えるために・・実験を繰り返した・・・・」
Sasuke: In order to jump from body to body…you kept performing your experiments.
　　　
サスケ「成れの果てがその姿か」
Sasuke: So after all that this is your form then.

大蛇丸「さぁ・・サスケくんその体を・・」
Orochimaru: Well then…Sasuke-kun…give me…

「私　に　ち　ょ　う　だ　ぁぁ　イ!!!」
Orochimaru: …that body of yours!!!

サスケを襲う大蛇丸。サスケはそれをかわし、小さい蛇の追撃も剣で断ち切る
壁際に立つサスケ。片腕で上着を払い、それから状態2へと変化を始める
*Orochimaru attacks Sasuke. Sasuke dodges and stops the small snakes’ attacks with his sword. Sasuke is up against a wall. He takes off his jacket with one arm and begins to change to his cursed seal level 2 form.

サスケ「地を這いずる蛇が空を飛びたいと夢見たところで　しょせん無理な話・・」
Sasuke: A snake crawling around on the ground starts to dream about flying in the sky…at the end of the day it’s nothing but an impossibility…

大蛇丸の小蛇たちは「ズズズ」とサスケを絞め巻く。
*Orochimaru’s little snakes start to wind themselves around Sasuke.

サスケ「それでもどうにかしたいと巣の中のひよっこを狙ってたお前が逆に狙われていたのさ」
Sasuke: But you still wanting to accomplish it somehow crawled in the nest to get the baby chick and became the target yourself…

大蛇丸「!」　蛇たちが爆発する
*Orochimaru: ! *The snakes all explode

サスケ「これから空高く飛び立つ　・・鷹の目にな」
Sasuke: …in the eyes of a hawk…that would soon be the one flying in the sky.

状態2に変身し翼を広げるサスケのアップ
*A panel of Sasuke spreading his wings in his level 2 form.

大蛇丸「・・」(かなり焦っている)「サ　ス　ケ　ェェェ　!!」(飛びかかる)
Orochimaru: … (*now totally freaking out) Sasuke!! (*Orochimaru jumps at Sasuke)

場面変わって墓の前
*Scene change to a grave

それは大蛇丸の両親の墓、子供のころの大蛇丸と若き三代目
*It’s the grave of Orochimaru’s parents. We see Orochimaru as a child with a young 3rd Hokage there.

大蛇丸「!　何だろコレ?」
Orochimaru: ! What on earth is this?

三代目「おおそれは白蛇の脱皮した皮だ　よく見つけたな」
The 3rd: Oh, that’s the molted skin of a white snake. I’m surprised you found one.

「それは滅多に見ることのできない珍しいものだな」
The 3rd: It’s quite a rare thing that most can hardly ever see.

大蛇丸「どうして白いの?」
Orochimaru: Why is it white?

三代目「さぁな良くはわかっておらん。そんなことを誰も気に止めんしな」
The 3rd: Hmm, I’m not really sure why. I don’t think anyone does.

「ただ昔から白蛇は幸運と再生の象徴とされとるんだ」
The 3rd: Just that ever since the old days these white snakes have been thought of as symbolizing good luck and rebirth.

大蛇丸「幸運と再生・・・」
Orochimaru: Good luck and rebirth…

三代目「・・・」
The 3rd: …

三代目「この墓で見つけたのも何かの因縁　お前の両親もどこかで生まれかわっているかもしれないのォ・・」
The 3rd: I guess finding them at this grave must be a kind of fate. Maybe your parents were born again somewhere else…

「いつかまた・・大きくなったお前と会うために」
Orochimaru: So that one day…they might see you again all grown up.

大蛇丸「・・それっていつだろ・・?」
Orochimaru: ….when would that be…?

三代目「・・さぁてなそれは分からんが」
The 3rd: …well I don’t know when.


白い蛇の抜け殻を微笑んで見つめる大蛇丸で終わり
*The chapter ends with Orochimaru smiling while staring at the white snake’s shedded skin.

And I feel no pity for Orochimaru. I hope Sasuke wins, more than anything. >_>

Also.. Sasuke strips?! xDD To transform, but whatever, HE STILL STRIPS. OMIGAWD~ -Dies-

I can't wait to see this chapter.. *-*
