Welcome to Gaia! ::

I was just about to post this. (darn you haku xd )

anyway I'm guessing these aren't truly clones. I think Pain made a jutsu to give his friends and whatnot his own bloodline somehow.

But since they came back to life they must be clones. So that means these are some pretty powerful freakin clones. can't die or nothing. must be the power of the Rin'negan twisted

that's actually what it could be. but if it was wouldn't pein need ALOT of chakra to maintain them so well.

and also. they wouldn't be able to come back to life would they?

Okay, it is my firm belief that Kisame nd Itachi are about to die.

Think: Suigetsu seems to be collecting the swords of the Mist Seven. He has Zabuza's, now he wants Samehada. (Prove me wrong. Seriously, when he saw that sword he looked like he was about to cream his pants.)
And now Sasuke's fighting Itachi.

Also, new proof that Tobi may very well be Obito:

Think about it; all forms of the Mangekyou Sharingan we have seen (with the exception of Amaterasu) involve the manipulation of space-time. Itachi can use Tsukiyomi, a genjutsu that traps the target in a torturous nightmare for three days, only it all occurs in a second. Kakashi can rip a hole in space and suck up matter with it.
What if as he was dying, Obito acquired a new form of the Mangekyou Sharingan that allowed him to pass through matter?
It would explain how he could survive having several tons of rock dumped on him, and how Naruto's Rasengan passed through him like it did.
So soon we'll be down to four Akatsuki remaining (Zetsu, Pein, Konan, and Tobi).
Since we don't know the extent of Zetsu's powers yet, I can't really pass any judgement on him yet. Though a fight between Zetsu and Yamato would be awesome to behold.

I was thinking that Kakashi would be the one to kill Tobi. If Tobi is in fact Obito, then it makes poetic sense. The battle of the Sharingans...

I think the following will also happen: Jiraiya will die in the fight with Pein. Tsunade will likely come and try to avenge him. She will probably kill Konan, then try to fight Pein.
Once Orochimaru has fully taken over Kabuto, he may or may not join Tsunade in trying to eliminate Pein, and both would die in the resultant battle. There's your resolution right there. All three Sannin are dead and have made amends with their past. Kakashi is named the Sixth Hokage.
Which leaves Pein, who will probably have by then collected all the bijuu except for Kyuubi.
Team 7 is once again reunited, as Sasuke no longer has his issue with Itachi. They go to take out Pein (probably against Kakashi's wishes), something incredibly plot-changing occurs over the course of the battle (likely to do with the Light/Dark Kyuubi issue), and as the essential 'reincarnation' of the Sannin, CS2 Sasuke, Kyuubi! (likely with Seven or Eight Tails) Naruto, and Sakura hit Pein all at the same time and kill him.
That, or Sasuke and Sakura are both mortally wounded in the battle and Naruto goes completely Kyuubi (probably eight tails, as it's pretty much established that nine would kill him) and utterly destroys Pein with like a Kyuubi version of the Oodama Rasenshuriken (or something similar) and his chakra heals the other two somehow.

In the end, Naruto is named Hokage for his deeds and the series ends on a high note.

Thayt is all fine and dandy but what if the fact remains that Jiraya comes back they did make a bet and Tsunade always looses her bets she bet that he would come bakc dead hes so comign bakc alive then. The Peins They probably will be killed By naruto after hearing that Jiraya went after them cause of course jiraya wont come back in one peice maby a missing limb or two. Anywho so naruto goes psyco and sakura chases him they both start to fight the Six levels Of Pein and then After Sauske Finishes off his Brother he will come to the aid aftter making it home to repent and find otu that Naruto and Sakura went after the leaders. He will get Uber pissed off and go there then Go to level 2 curse mark i think the rest of Hebi will fight Konana And Zetsu Kisame will prolly Run away or Die by Suigetsu and then all will seem fine then a noew set of Plot will be developed and we will get to see more of Narutos Kick assatude

....gone. he's gone.

I TOLD YOU GUYS! NOW TSUNADE IS GETTING THE INFO. AND SHE'S GOING TO RUN BLIND SIGHTEDLY AND GO GET KILLED HERSELF!

thats my opinion anyway. but yeah. i'm sad. *lights candle* ima miss you!

nope. all because she doesn't want to lose jaryia after losing her love and brother. she's going to go there to save him and bloop. she's going to get herself killed. probably by Konan. See how she really uses her powers. and besides. kakashi is busy with tobi. that other woman is pregnant. neji is with kakashi. gai....i actually forgot where he is. is he with them also. eh. and asuma is dead. the only jounin is that special jounin and yeah. he's not much help.

but she still have the anbu but i just don't think she would let the anbu take care of saving jaryia. knowing tsunade's behavior she would go in herself.

NO THEY MUST CONTINUE for we wont know if Naruto Will becoem Hokage. The last part will be how Naruto becomes Hokage. and Some how Jirya is gonna Pull through Cause Jiraya did soem weird a** s**t to that frog before he left.
