Naruto Anime/Manga (Manga Spoilers Not Tagged) [WSJ]

I understand now, Kaguya's descendant conveniently arrives to settle matters by bringing down the moon aka Kaguya which means death. Naruto and friends journey to the moon to stop this filler villain and bring home the bacon and finally either tying the knot with Hinata or beginning that romance I always hoped it would be.


Also a wedding in Konoha which I had always wanted to see cos Kishi failed to depict it with Harashima and his red head babe as well as Minato with Kushina. He's definitely saving an epic wedding for this.

So does anyone else think Sakura will just hook up with Sai? I mean, he's Sasuke Lite without all the baggage.

Oh dear

I just shipped.

I dunno she should go with Rock Lee lulz.

I still have a doubt she and Sasuke will reconcile but I really don't like Sakura due to the impression she had given us in Part 1.

I understand now, Kaguya's descendant conveniently arrives to settle matters by bringing down the moon aka Kaguya which means death. Naruto and friends journey to the moon to stop this filler villain and bring home the bacon and finally either tying the knot with Hinata or beginning that romance I always hoped it would be.

Well, to be fair, there's WAY MORE than enough background for Toneri to not be a "filler villain." Hagoromo did openly state that he had a brother named Hamura who initially helped him to seal the Jubi. We know that they were the first two humans born with chakra, and that while Hagoromo possessed the attributes of Kaguya that eventually split into the Uchiha & Senju bloodlines, Hamura possessed the Byakugan. Aside from that, there's almost nothing else that's stated about him in the manga. (Although this DOES go back to give some specifics to what Kakashi mentioned in the Chunin exams about the Sharingan being rumored to have descended from the Byakugan).

Given that the Hyuuga clan are ridiculously strict about their kekkei genkai getting into anyone else's possession as well as controlling their lineage with the main and branch houses, it's highly probable that they're descended almost if not completely directly from Hamura. On top of that, they're openly stated to be the strongest clan in Konoha (even with the Senju & Uchiha taking the spotlight).

It's a pretty big open end of questions that was set up at the time that's going to remain unanswered from the main manga, and I have been curious since he was introduced in Chapter 670 what his purpose in the grand scheme of things was (especially with Kaguya possessing the Byakugan).


Since Kishimoto is actually directing the story & other things for this film, and - unlike the other movies (aside from Road to Ninja's alternate reality) - it connects directly to the canon of the manga, it's highly probable that it's going to fill in the gaps about that side of the story with Toneri's backstory and will explain what makes the Hyuga as badass as they are -- especially since that element was introduced just 30 chapters before the manga concludes.

Really, without all that, the Hyuga's connection to everything has been standing as a pretty significant gap in the complete story of Kaguya's descendants, and it makes sense that if the film was always a part of the plan (which it was since it's been in development for quite some time), Hamura acting as the connecting point that ties everything together is a part of that as well. Obviously with both him & Hagoromo being long deceased, we're left with a descendant of some kind - Toneri. No idea how he'd come about now but that's really the meat of the story that's worth digging into for the conflict end of the story.


Everything else is centered around our main Hyuga character & Naruto, since it's been stated to be a romantic story, and you wrap that all together, and I'd say that it makes itself into a fairly solid extension of the main storyline of Naruto played out two years into the future from wherever we're about to leave thing off in a little less than a week.

A slightly different, but proper version of the official trailer (mainly important for the shipping crowd, because now Naruto actually says "Hinata, remember, about that time. There’s something I have to tell you, no matter what. Please wait for me.")




Also, here's my quick attempt at translations for the remaining characters that no one else seems to have tackled yet.

• Rock Lee
努力の天才。 厳しい修業を超え達人の領域に達するも、 まだまたその修業は終わらはい。

A genius of hard work. He has surpassed the strict discipline of his apprenticeship but is still pushing further beyond it.


• Akimichi Chouji
「 食」 こそが誇りと信じて、 成長と共に体重も増加。 好きば言葉は「 ぽっちゃり系」 。

"His pride in 'food' and his body weight have both increased with his growth. He likes the word, 'Chubby-ish'*"

(*This is the word that Chouji always responds with when someone calls him fat "Debu" he says, "I'm pocchari-kei!!" which is a positive chubby term in Japanese).


• Otsutsuki Toneri
1000年の時を超え、 忍の世界を滅亡させようと現れる。 執拗にヒナタを狙うその理由とは-

"From the time beyond 1000 years, he seems intent on destroying the shinobi world. His relentless targeting of Hinata is because -"


There're also better versions of all the character-specific images with their VAs and short descriptions here (CBA to embed them all into the post because I'm on my phone): http://mikao-chan.tumblr.com/post/101470027478

The feelings that have yet to reach [him]. Where is this hidden feelings heading towards…?

"The winter festival is approaching the hidden leaf village. Naruto is enjoying himself in Ichiraku with his friends he grew up and brought alongside with. In that same time (meanwhile), the feelings put forth in the scarf Hinata secretly kintted has yet to reach Naruto. Hinata dislikes herself who always watches from faraway. Suddenly, a mysterious man appears. Naruto barges in at the last second and was able to rescue her, but was told the strange message of "you guys are doomed to destruction. before that, Hinata, I’ll definitely come for you" and promptly disappeared. What is this destiny of destruction? Why is Hinata targeted? In that moment, a meteorite with intensely strong light, pierces through the sky…"

The moon is close! Is this a natural disaster? Or is it an alarm for the Shinobi?

Gokage(s) talk urgently. Besides Raikage, Mizukage, Tsuchikage, Gaara are the head of each country, and… at this situation, the moon will collapse on Earth, countdown of the human extinction has begun. Shinobi is falling into confusion. Naruto goes for an adventure with Sakura, Shikamaru, Sai and Hinata. And they arrive to the bottom of the Earth where a huge curse mark was chopped. In that place “The Plan” and unbelievable name waited for them there!

A new hope for a new era. Don’t give up on the future.

Otsutsuki Toneri, descendant of Otsutsuki Kaguya, the progenitor of chakra, the one Naruto and Sasuke fought to death. Toneri appears, using a puppet army. Against Toneri’s overwhelming power, Naruto and his friends can’t do anything. And finally Hinata falls into his hands. On Earth, and endless rain of meteorites fall on Earth and the battle to protect the world reach its limit. What is this “Shin no Saishuu Keikaku” (True Final Plan)? What is the sad fate promised to Hinata and the Hyuga Clan?

Everyone’s strong feelings clash beyond time!

Images of the RAWs are floating around the world, so be prepared for that if you're out and about anywhere that might post them. (I'm avoiding tumblr and other places 'til then, & I'm gonna hold back completely on commenting on any of the spoilers I saw until the actual chapters are out). I'd expect the scanslations to be released relatively soon.

@D&D:
the spinoff series being announced is fairly strongly connected to what happens in the Chapter 700, and I think that most people would want to learn about the reveal when finishing it. (I know that I wish I had)
and we've been keeping the thread clear of any chapter-related whatnot until they're properly able to be read.

:awesomonster:


EDIT: Removed now that the chapter is out.

The only thing I have to say about the spoilers is...
Did they really name their kid Salad. DID THEY REALLY NAME THEIR KID SALAD

So much for my headcanon that if Sasuke and Sakura ever had kids, the firstborn son would have pink hair and the rest of the kids would all be girls for the lulz...

also the name Boruto. oh my god.

Regarding that
I think doing that is more of a nod to Akira Toriyama (because of all the Saiyan having vegetable names, and him being a huge inspiration to Kishimoto) more than anything else. That being said, I have no idea what they're gonna run with in terms of English adaptations for names for Sarada/Salad, Boruto/Bolt, or Himawari/Sunflower.

If I was a gamblin' man, I'd probably guess that it'd end up like Sara, Bolt, & Himawari in English adaptations.

So many feels all around!

And kudos to Kishimoto for putting all the shipping wars to rest! :P

Artistically speaking, it's really neat that the very first page of the manga is like the very last page of the manga. It kinda feels like the first and last pages are the start and end of the story of Naruto as it's remembered generations later, while the manga is the story of what actually happened.

Just... I can't believe its finally over...

MangaStream has 699: http://readms.com/r/naruto/699/2592/4

It's a really good read for a solid translation. They'll probably have 700 out relatively soon. Worth reading to get a better feeling from the MP translation.

Just all in all, that was everything I was hoping. I'm a tiny bit sad we didn't have any indication about what ended up happening to the Taka folk (mostly Suigetsu's quest for the 7 swords 'cause I wanted to see him all grown up). I'm wondering if he could be the Mizukage's bodyguard, since he isn't shown, and Choujuro doesn't appear to have his sword.

I suppose there's a tiny possibility they might end up in the movie, since Bolt & Himawari were originally leaked from images there, as was wheelchair Gai. I am curious why the kids don't seem to have the Byakugan and if that'll be mentioned.


Also, since D&D's post was initially spoiler-tagged (which I'll remove when I post this), Kishimoto's apparently gonna do a short mini series about the kids, which I look forward to.
