I think that's exactly why it originaly chose Kisame (because he has the most chakra compared to anybody else he's come across). But as for the comparison to vampires, that's exactly it! And that's not a far stretch when it comes to media considering the TV show "Being Human" and the upcoming movie "Daybreakers" where vampires are harvesting humans for their blood.

The biggest difference is that Shamaheda has a deal with Kisame. Kisame will continuously feed Shamaheda chakra (be it his own, or from a victim), while Shamaheda will obey Kisame's orders and replenish his chakra when needed. Of course it seems that Shamaheda has betrayed on this word for another ninja, but that's just up to chance that Kisame took when it comes to loyalty of this alive sword.

I think it's weird that samaheda decided it wants to keep Bee alive. Do you think that's why it originally chose Kisame? and do you feel that Bee might be worse off with samaheda? I mean, keeping Bee alive just so it can drain his chakra? That's like a Vampire keeping a hostage alive so it can slowly drain blood.

Oh, and no I hardly ever go to the main site. So I hadn't noticed.

No biggie. I was going to get around to it anyways. Have you noticed I've been writing some articles on the mainsite? Since all I own is a DSi, Spirit Tracks is high on my list and I'll be helping out ZU any way I can when it comes out.

Oh, and as for the latest Naruto Chapter, Kisame's Water Jutsu is pretty cool (making him always be at the center), but the fight didn't last as long as I'd hoped. I have a feeling that next chapter, Shamaheda will block Kisame's attack (considering it likes Bee so much). And when it comes to chakra, I suppose the only other person Shamaheda may want to join is Naruto (considering he has 1 tail more than Bee).

Thanks for handling the Water Temple threads. I was PMed about it yesterday, but my internet was being slow and I was having difficulties dealing with it.

I would play Saria's Song with her any day.

I'd like to introduce to you to Hiromi Oshima the hottest celebrity (that also happens to be a Zelda fan!!!). Right now, she and Olivia Munn are the hottest celebrities on TV.

Yeah, making a clone that has X amount of your chakra, that doesn't die until that chakra runs out would be very effective. For a Jinchuriki with massive chakra resources, or just an extrordinary ninja like Itachi or Kisame, even thirty percent would be plenty to take on a Jonin or two.

Chapter 469 came out today. I'll PM you about it.

For a forbidden jutsu, there are a lot of possibilities. I was thinking along the same lines. Do you remember how Pein created clones of Kisame & Itachi with a few bodies? What if it was along that concept. Imagine creating a clone with exactly 50% of your chakra and it doesn't matter which dies first because the last "twin" alive alive will automatically become the original (if that makes sense).

Another idea I had for what would be in the scroll is that it could have taught you how to train for and execute the Dancing Flying God technique that made the Fouth so famous.

Naruto has already mastered shadow cloning, the rasengan, toad summoning, sanin mode, and a few tails of the 9 tails. The Fourth lived a short life as Hokage, with another war coming about, it would be nice for Naruto to learn the Dancing Flying God Technique in order to be a "clone" of his father and really fight the Akatsuki with all the might of the past.

Maybe making a clone technique where each clone can take more than one hit before going down What sort of possibilities are out there?.

Oh yeah, I almost forgot about him. And speaking about that particular scroll, Naruto (at least in the American dub, I'd have to check the manga and Japanese dub of anime) said that he already started learning part of the scroll. Since the scroll was locked in the Hokage's office (plus Orochimaru wanted it), it must have been a powerful forbined jutsu that Naruto only learned the first step (Shadow Clone). Since Shadow Cloning is a very common Jonin level jutsu (in every nation), I doubt that Orochimaru was looking for a scroll for just Shadow Clones (since it isn't a stretch to assume that Orochimaru knows how to do a Shadow Clone by this point in his life).

Ever since that scroll, I've always had it in the back of my mind if Naruto would ever see it again and learn the rest of the jutsu technique. It does make you wonder, "What else can you do with a Shadow Clone that hasn't been shown already?" and "What was Orochimaru going to do with it?"
