Gama Kichi's grown quite a bit, hasn't he?

sup Kyuubi,
you still into Naruto? Who's tobi?

Hey Kyuubi,
I'm on right now ;-) I'm definitely reading the manga again. I was busy with studies and my hobbies for a while but I have a lot more free time in the moment.

I don't know what I think about this right now. But I'm on to the heritage-theme myself since the essence of yin yang chakra is simple enough. If you don't get it then read yasha's thread on it, I think he's got it right.

As for the heritage, I think that there are the direct descendants of Rikudo which are Senju and Uchiha but there are also the Uzumaki which are relatives of Senju and obviously blood-related to Rikudo as you can see on this chart. http://www.narutobase.net/manga/Naruto/462/13 These clans carry all the abilities that are interesting for Naruto and Sasuke. "Modern Ninjutsu" carries normal chakra which is already yin-yang mixed. This kind of chakra is only able to mimic elements. Then there is philosophy. It's possible that the monks carry special abilities: http://www.narutobase.net/manga/Naruto/314/7 I don't think this should be ignored completely.

Karin's an Uzumaki, Naruto might find this out soon enough. What do you want to bet that Haku was an Uzumaki?

Hey Kyuubi,
how're you doing? I hope you're still around?
The training arc you predicted with Naruto and Killerbee is turning out alright, huh? I do wonder whether Naruto'll learn a sword technique though. Gai could teach Naruto to deal with high speeds.
I think that Naruto has aquired the Sennin's body when he combines Sage Mode and Kyuubi Mode. Then he has the speed, the invulnerability and the taijutsu techniques with further range and possibly Kyuubi-arms.
Hope you're well,
~Mara

Fucking PMs, my mails are full, I'll decide which ones to delete later.
You're right about the Waterfall-Tree comparison. Buddha actually meditated under a tree in the myth but when taken into modern versions of the myth it's always a waterfall that Buddha meditated under. Under that tree Buddha was tempted by demons.

This meditation is what enlightened Buddha and made him a deity. Before this meditation Buddha passed the six realms of pain, experiencing all six of them.
Naruto meditated before and experienced the six paths of pain (far to literally for my taste but god bless Kishi). Naruto is about to surpass the only evil left in his heart. You might interpret this as literal enlightenment and this training as absolute selfconsciousness. What will be left is a good person able to control (or change?) a demon. Sounds like a deity to me.

Sadly your prediction is worthless because after this Buddha walked through the lands and preached the rest of his life. And my best guess is Naruto's death...

Oh, thanks. It's nice to be appreciated.

Did you want to ask me something?

It not clear enough for me to say for sure, but I believe Kishimoto was just trying to give Naruto sparkly eyes to show his kawaii face. I'm guessing he was trying to return a little bit of Naruto's childlike innocence. THere may have been spirals in his eyes, but it's just not clear enough. If they were spirals, I don't think it would be one of Kishimoto's hints. Kishimoto tends to make his hints a little more obvious.

This is the link to the picture. You need to crop it and maybe erase some font if you're going to have a clean picture. If this link doesn't work, just go to google images and type "sasuke and itachi" exactly.

Sorry man, I can't agree with your spy thoery. I've never been a fan of the Jiraiya spy theory in general. I know Jiraiya said he had his source, but I think if it's anyone, it'll be Itachi.
