Just gettin' over a cold, yeah! But still lotsa stuffy nose and ick throat booooo v__v. Whatcha got left to do for school??

Not much! I'm a little off-ish 'cause -sick- BOO but other than that, I'm good. How're you, darlin'?

Just the usual shenanigans. You?

You're welcome. I don't think Naruto will ever become Chuunin. I think he will be known as "The Genin Hokage", that is of course, if Naruto becomes Hokage right after this war.

No, they are not. Same as when the kids were protected during the Obito attack, and again during the Orochimaru attack, the ninjas have a way of protecting the young ones. They can't go off to war. As Asuma once said "The King is the future kids of Konoha. That's what you're protecting".

Thanks for the suggestion, but it's not a game that I'd really be able to get into.

Yeah...Suigetsu. I think the whole collecting swords bit was just an interesting ploy to introduce the character (and to reintroduce Zabuza for the war), but I don't see Suigetsu finishing his life time dream anytime soon. Hmm strange thought: I wonder if the Mizukage has sent men to kill Suigetsu (considering he's technically a missing ninja).

Have you seen the Naruto movies? In the last one "Blood Prison" there was a special mini-episode that was featured before the movie started that was basically another Chunin Exam. Long story short, Konohamaru got to fight Naruto. I won't spoil the fight for you:

I agree (about the most legitimate place to have a filler). Considering Kiba/Shino/Hinata weren't prominent in the manga during this time, I wouldn't be surprised if Lee gets a filler episode, because I don't recall where he's been throughout all of this. Oh and we can't forget about Ten-Ten (I know, she's useless), or Team Asuma considering they've won that portion of the battle. And maybe even a filler episode featuring Konohamaru and his two teammates/friends.

Oh of course I don't mind that it isn't canon, I've been watching the anime along side reading the manga since the beginning.

PS: Very random thought: After Kakashi beat Zabuza in the war, we last saw him with Zabuza's sword. Is there any chance that he still has it (but stored away in a scroll)? It would be sorta epic to see it emerge out of nowhere again

The way I've seen it, most action-packed fighting chapters are quickly run through in an episode or two. I suspect that these fillers are going to revolve more on all the White Zetsus and the revived Akatsuki members.

-BGS

It's because they need to buy themselves some time in order for the manga to get ahead a little bit more. The last thing you'd want is for the anime to catch up with the manga, or else we'd have to wait for a new episode even longer. So really, it's either have filler episodes, or no episodes at all.

-BGS

In the Naruto anime, they are starting with the filler episodes:/

Ah that's a good possibility.

I remember a few years ago, back when we first learned about the Uzumaki clan (and the village they once had in the whirlpool islands), I had a small theory that Naruto would create his clan again and be the new Kage there. It's more fan-fiction than anything else, but considering we've seen a few red-haired ninja, it's clear to see that the Uzumaki clan still lives on throughout the world.

What if he was able to divide the chakra up to everybody in the world that's good (and he'd be able to tell the difference between good and evil with his Senju chakra as he did identifying Kisame)? That way if everybody has chakra, nobody is special.

I don't know why, but that idea sorta reminds me of the Ninja Turtles (I think Shredder once had a plan to revert the mutants back into turtles). But anyways, about a giant Rasengan..hmm...a rasengan is a heavy chakra jutsu. If he could create a Shuriken using the combined chakra of the 10 tails, he might have enough energy to make a black hole. What would he do with the black hole? I have no idea. I just came up with this idea when you mentioned giant Rasengan (but of course a black hole Rasengan would have to be small and SUUUUPER condensed)

-BGS.

After reading this page it just seems like there are a few plot-holes to Hashirama's story (it's either that or it hasn't been properly updated yet). According to that page "Hashirama died shortly after the founding of Konoha in one of the many wars that were raging during this revolutionary era". That's what sorta ticks me off about the deaths of the 1st and 2nd Hokage. They just died in war (possibly outnumbered). I mean, from what we've seen that they are able to do (during the Orochimaru vs 3rd fight), I wouldn't expect them to go down so easily (and yet Madara still lives). And yes, according to that page, people though that Madara was killed, but the 4th certainly didn't think so considering that's who he thought Tobi was.

It's possible that Madara did it on himself and on Obito. How? Well as Kabuto has mentioned, Madara got the Rinnigan eyes close to when he died. And one of the powers of the Rinnigan is to control who lives and dies (in a matter of speaking), as shown by Nagato when he revived everybody. Who knows, maybe Madara did the same thing for Obito's soul.

What about the third question? Let's say that hypothetically, Kakashi is able to kill Obito, and Naruto is able to kill Madara. What would he do with the 10 tails? I'm not talking about defeating it, I'm talking about what is he going to do with all of that chakra? Will he be the 10tails' jinchuurki (like what the Sage did and what Obito is planning on doing)? Will he separate the 10tails into multiple tailed beasts (same as the Sage, but wouldn't that lead the world to repeating the same world of trying to get power obtaining the beasts).

I certainly hope that he doesn't separate the 10 tails into tailed beasts again. Why? Because he himself has learned what it's like being a jinchuuriki, and wouldn't want others to have the same experience he had.

-BGS

A few questions to ponder about:
1. How did the 1st Hokage die?
2. Where has Madara been all this time?
3. What will Naruto do with the 10 tails?

-BGS

Obito: I wouldn't be surprised if Zetsu is actually Madara's creation. I don't know if Madara would risk himself getting exposed in a war, so I wouldn't be surprised if it was Zetsu that physically saved him (under Madara's orders).

Tsunade and the Kages: I couldn't agree more (especially about the Tsuchikage bit). The world doesn't need a "fence-sitter" who uses the Akatsuki to his advantage. Just like the Mizukage had to cleanse the air of the village's old reputation (look at Zabuza and Kisame as examples), the same would have to be said about the Hidden Rock Village (because before the Akatsuki were introduced the enemies of the show were the Rock and Grass/Sound Ninjas).
