a Kakashi, Sakura, and Naruto training?

Im sorry to say, that Naruto has already surpassed Kakashi.

Naruto surpassing Kakashi in power doesn't mean that Kakashi doesn't have anything to give for Narutos training. I think that Kakashis vast experience in combat and jutsu could sharpen the very rough edges that Naruto still has...

Edit:
In fact I think that Naruto vs. Kakashi would be a definite win for Kakashi, just because of his experience... Okay maybe I overrate Kashi a bit but without sagemode atleast.

Actually I'd bet Kakashi still has a lot to teach Naruto. There's still the light/dark aka yin/yang elemental training he mentioned during the wind training. Plus, the more Kakashi and Naruto spar the more experience he would gain fighting against a sharingan user.

[Askia31]

i don't know know how peuple can say this is the death of sasusaku lol all this prove is sasusaku will always be a disgusting pairing canon or not. Even Karin who's about to die could tell Sakura is in love with Sasuke but that's the only thing SS has left so it's not dead yet until proved otherwise. Sadly i doubt Sakura will stop loving because he tried to kill her. Kakashi said no matter how much Orochimaru has fallen, Sandaime still loved him and he now know how he felt and it'll be the same for all members of team 7. I know he wasn't talking about romantic love but that's the only kind of love Sakura has showed to him.

[harry4e]

Karin is a human lie detector? then how come she couldn't tell Sasuke didn't love her, or he was going to stab her. I don't remember seeing that in her description, besides even if she was, I doubt she'd be using her ability when she is close to death and needs to conserve her energy. Afterall she didn't detect either Sakura or Kakashi's arrival.

I liked the Predictions posted on the other page, most of them unlikely, specially the last one, that just read like a realy realy bad fanfic.

It would be nice to see Kakashi training both Sakura and Naruto but unlikely, he'll have his hands full with restoring the village back to it's former glory, and working on the Kage allience, and the war against one man, his plant and his rabbid dog, as well as preparing for Sasuke's arrival...which come to think of it, could mean that even though Kakashi won't kill him, he will gravely injure Sasuke so he'll be healing for a while, specially now that Sasuke has lost his heal ticket. (Get it Heal Ticket/Meal Ticket, because he bites Karin?)

[Gravenimage]

its geting old how people ignore development and sad they ignore the confession and all

Let's wait and let Kishi show everyone how wrong they are about Sakura. I have never lost faith in Kishi and Sakura's development I know she has changed for the better.

[Evil Potato]

Yes but with all we see its still not best to speak in absolutes about something we still don't know for certain. Sakura could love Sasuke, Sakura could be in love with Naruto. Best not to just say it is because we don't know....yet.

[Evil Potato]

well then, she may love him, but is she "in love" with him? lol

[Gravenimage]

The only proof to prove our point is the manga itself the true evidence.

[Verilance]

just a generalized rant though applicable to this manga chapter

why is it so many people on other forums seem to be reading a completely different chapter than I am?

btw i liked the chapter i would have liked more of Sakura's real plan exposed so people wouldn't hate her so much but they always will so meh

I believe I have say it before. Even if Sakura saves the five countries, Konoha and Naruto they will always hate her like she was the main villain.

Naruto 484 : Kakashi vs Sasuke

(Scene is showing Kakashi standing in battle stance, behind him is Sakura starting to carry Karin to a safe area. We then see Zetsu appear in the tree created by Danzo's arm.)

Black Zetsu : This is gonna get interresting. Sasuke is almost out of chakra, and his eyes...

White Zetsu : Maybe we should tell Madara ?

Black Zetsu : No. That Kakashi is going to be the Hokage now, if he gets out of this fight alive. We need to see his techniques. It will be useful in the war. Besides, he might have planned that already.

(Madara scene)

Madara : Hmm. No more Pain and Kisame. At least Sasuke is going straight as I planned. Now to get these. (Disappear in a warp)

(Sasuke vs Kakashi scene)

(There are a few pages of taijutsus and ninjutsus being exchanged. Mostly Sasuke attacking recklessly and Kakashi defending.)

Sasuke : (Thinking) I'm almost out of chakra. (Yelling with his mad face) Time to end this, cockroach ! (Hand signs) Katon : Great Dragon Fireball !

Kakashi : (Thinking while easily evading) That was too easy to dodge. Sh-

(Black flames appear from the edges of the fireball, jumping on Kakashi's clothes)

(Kakashi has a flashback of him and Jiraya. It appears to be happening between Jiraya's last talk with Tsunade, and his going to the rain)

Jiraya : Kakashi, as his sensei, you have to beat Sasuke. Do not let him fight with Naruto again.

Kakashi : What do you -?

Jiraya : I'm leaving to find out about Akatsuki's leader, Pain. Should I not come back, do not let Naruto fight him.

Kakashi : (With his ''happy'' face we saw in his flashback, in the last chapter) But you will come back, Jiraya-sama.

Jiraya : Kakashi, one last thing. I know Itachi could use the mangyeko. In case you get faced to the black flames, use this. (hands a paper, similar to the paper he had given to Kakashi if Naruto would form the Kyuubi cloak)

Kakashi : Jiraya-sama. Take care.

(End of flash back, Kakashi pulls out the paper from under his glove, using it right on the flames. They disappear in an instant, cuasing him no damage)

Kakashi : (Thinking) It was the only one I had.

(Sasuke now falls in pain, out of chakra and overusage of his eyes. Kakashi instantly use this opportunity and uses Raikiri on Sasuke, not hitting vital points, but causing him fatal blood loss)

Kakashi : I am sorry, Sasuke. You are not cleansable. (Hit Sasuke again with his raikiri, cutting his body in half, and Sasuke seems to fall dead. We can see fatigue on Kakashi's partially shown features. He then leave inmmediatly to the south, heading toward where he smell Sakura)

(Zetsu scene)

White Zetsu : He isn't dead, is he ?

Black Zetsu : Let's get his upper body to bring it to Madara.

Next Chapter : Darkness his only friend.

AHH!, Aloes vera is back . He wasn't there in the previous fight so I doubt that he will be there now. The Jiraya and Kakashi's talk is, to me, unbelievable.

Manga 484: Into The Darkness
BY: The Icon

(what is going on with sasuke and will kakashi really try to kill sasuke)

Kakashi; seem like you had an interesting battle here sasuke. who did you fight?

Sasuke: a peson who caused my brother to suffer. a person who and two others is responsible for my clan annihilation

Kakashi: and who is that person?

Sasauke: well you might know him as the current hokage. (with his evil laugh)

Kakashi: danzou?. you killed the hokage?

Sasuke: yes and now it is your turn sensai (sasuke charges at kakashi with his sword. kakashi is focused on sasuke suddenly kakashi is pierced through the back with chidori. but it is kakashi shadow clone)

Sasuke; damn it hahaha i should have know kakashi always playing around with your shadow clone fight me kakashi

Kakashi: ( the real kakashi is right behind sasuke) sasuke i didn't ever in my life as captain of team 7 ever thought i would have to kill you. but i have no choice i seems like thereis no changing your mind you have followed madara in the darkness. i can't let you become like madara sorry( kakashi prepares to hit sasuke with his chidori but as soon as he was gonna do it sasuke pierced himself right through the chest with his hand chodori hitting kakashi in the arm (kakashi saw it coming and was able to dodge a little)

Sasuke: whats wrong kakashi didn't expect that

Kakashi: i see he has mastered his chakra nature just as yamato said

Sasuke: kakashi you and i have goal. i am not sure what you goal is but i am sure of mine i will crush the leaf village for what they did to my brother that is my goal

Kakashi: is that your goal or is it madara's goal

Sasuke: hmm and what is that suppose to mean

Kakashi: madara is using you sasuke. and if you don't wake up soon there won't be much left of this world

Sasuke: using me no kakashi i am using akatsuki and i will kill that madara if he touches me again

Kakashi: kill kill what is wrong with you sasuke you tried to kill sakura what has she done to you?

Sasuke: don't think i am a fool i knew her intentions from the start. what did she really think i would bought her story. enough talk kakashi fight me you think you are so good of a ninja ahhh

Kakashi: (summons his dogs they grab onto sasuke)

Sasuke: is that all you can do kakashi trust me i can do alot more. even without my amaterasu and mangekyou sharingan right now i can crush you i don't need my eyes on you kakashi sensei.

Kakashi: amaterasu and mangekyou sharingan? (sasuke runs lightning all over his body making the dogs let him go but as soon as they do)

Kakashi: lightning blade (sasuke had to activate his regular sharingan he barely dodged and was cut on the right hand with raikiri)

Sasuke; damn him

Kakashi:( kakashi to himself) he seems really weak he over used his sharingan. seem like i won't have to use my full power

Sasuke: (pant pant) fine kakashi you think you are better than me fine then i wanna see you dodge this

Kakashi: oh boy he is really over doing it (sasuke put his hand in the air he is about to do kirin)

Kakashi: wow thats how is he ....

Sasuke; with the chakra i have left i will crush you. only an ultimate defense can repel this attack only itachi was able to dodge this. now die kakashi (kirin is aiming for kakashi)

Kakashi; too slow sasuke. what? i thought i told him to return to the village?

Naruto: sage art giant rasengan ( with naruto in kyuubi sage mode his rasengan is huge big enough to counter kirin in a clash)

Sasuke: who was that wait a minute i was wondering where you was naruto

Naruto: sasuke its time i make my decision this ends now

Next Issue; Power

Plausible, to much talking for my taste but we see them fighting. However, the ' Kakashi: I see he has mastered his chakra nature just as yamato said' is illogical. Kakashi know that Sasuke has mastered his chakra nature ( he even mention it while training Naruto to creat his new jutsu).

Naruto 484: Student Vs Sensei!!

(Sasuke Scene)
Kakashi: Sakura go….
Sakura: Sensei i….(closes her eyes and makes a fist)
Kakashi: …..(removes a kunai)
Sakura: I-I am sorry sensei….(picks up Karin)
Sakura: (thinking)I am sorry Naruto...
(Sakura puts Karin on her back and turns away)

Sasuke: (watches as sakura goes away with Karin)
Kakashi: Alright then…time to correct my mistake… (Readies kunai)
Sasuke: heh! (Smiles and charges at kakashi with a chidori )

Just as the chidori is about to hit him, Kakashi jumps in the air barely dodging it.
Sasuke is prepared for the dodge, and turns around as soon as kakashi is in the air.He charges his other hand with a chidori spear.

Sasuke: HA!(the spear pierces a surprised kakashi, who was unable to dodge it because he was in mid air)
Kakashi:..Poof! (turns into a rag doll)
Sasuku : !! (Thinking) substitution!
Kakashi: (appearing just a few steps behind sasuke) Water Release: Water Dragon Bullet! (a huge water dragon flies at Sasuke who is just inches away)
Kakashi: (watches as sasuke is engulfed by the water dragon)……!!!!

(Suddenly black flames start consuming the water dragon)
Kakashi: (thinking) Amaterasu…
Sasuke: (Standing in middle of the smoke cause by the rapid evaporation of the water because of amaterasu) Is that all you have got Kakashi? (Reveals his mangeykyo sharingan!)
Kakashi:?! (Looks at the evilness in sasuke’s sharingan) (Thinking) Revenge has consumed him…Sasuke…

Sasuke: DIE! (Aims the amaterasu at kakashi )
Kakashi: Shadow Clone jutsu! (Makes 5 shadow clones of himself) Poof!! (The kakashi who was attacked with the amaterasu disappears)
Sasuke: hmph (used shadow to escape dodge my amaterasu…)
Kakashi: (thinking while dodgeing sasuke’s amaterasu’s continuously)sasuke’s chakra levels are pretty low…Looks like he was in a fight not to long…the kage summit maby?...judging by his state right now, those mangeykyo attacks should be taking a lot out of him..if I can keep out of his line of sight and confuse him with my clones then I should be able to get close enough to finish him off…

Sasuke: haha keep running…I am going to burn you to the ground and watch as you suffer in agony!!
Sasuke:?!! (Suddenly kakashi’s figure blures causing the flame to go totally of target and Sasuke becomes a little dazed for a second)
Kakashi: (thinking) NOW!!!
Sasuke:??!!

In a split second, Kakashi’s 4 shadow clones surround Sasuke and get ready for a lightning blade from all 4 sides..
Kakashi: Lightning Blade!!!

All the 4 Lightning blades hit Sasuke at the same time from all sides!!!

Kakashi: *pant* *pant I got him…
Kakashi: (surprised) HUH??! What the-

Sasuke is completely surrounded by susanoo’s bones!

As Kakashi is about to jump back, the bones form a fist and catch hold of kakashi’s arm

Sasuke: (turns around to face Kakashi) Now its my turn….

(Naruto Scene)
Naruto: (thinking) almost there... (Speeds up a little bit)

(Sasuke Scene)
Kakashi: Arrrrghhh!!!! (The Susanoo’s fist is crushing Kakashi’s arm)
Kakashi: (falls to his knees and his shadow clones disappear)
Sasuke: hahaha (has a insane looks on his face) that pain is nothing compared to the pain I have gone through! Maby now you will understand it a little better…

(Slowly sasuke’s susanoos body starts to form behind him)

Kakashi: (wincing from the pain) (thinking) I have got no choice…
Sasuke: I am going to tear you limp from limp and-

(Kakashi raises his head and looks at Sasuke straight in the eye)

Kakashi: You let revenge take over you…and now you are too far gone in the darkness to be brought back……

(kakashi closes his sharingan eye)
Sasuke: hm…..?

Kakashi opens his eye to reveal the Mangeykyo sharingan!(close up on kakashi’s eyes)

Sasuke: (surprised) eh?! How did you-

Kakashi: KAMUI!!!

Sasuke:!!!!!!!!!

Kakashi has activated his mangeykyo sharingan! He used kamui on Sasuke at almost point blank distance. Has Sasuke finally been defeated??? Did kakashi really kill him?

Look out for Chapter 485!

Plausible, However, I doubt that Sasuke still have the strenth to use Susanoo since he overuse his sharingan.

Naruto 484: Hokage's Anger

*Kakashi has arrived to rescue Sakura. Sho is now healing Karin. Now it is just Kakashi and Sasuke* Sasuke vs Kakashi!

Kakashi: (charges sasuke with raikiri)
Sasuke: (charges kakashi with chidori)
*They get interrupted by Naruto!*

Naruto: Sasuke! What are you doing...
Sasuke: Naruto... Your just as pathetic as back then, I'll make sure to kill you this time.
Naruto: (sadness appears on Naruto's face)

Kakashi: Naruto, he is not the same as before he has changed. He tried to kill Sakura and would have done so if I hadn't shown up.
Naruto: *shocked* Sasuke, why are you doing this?
Sasuke: I must do what I must to avenge my brother. I WILL DESTROY KONOHA AND ALL OF YOU!

Naruto: *starts crying*
This time I will bring you back Sasuke.
Sasuke: You will fail just like last time.

*Naruto still in sage mode*
Naruto: Kakashi Sensie please stay out of this, Sasuke is my responsibility.
Naruto: This is not like last time.
Naruto: *forms a rasen shurkian*
Sasuke: *forms chidori*

*Flashback*
They remember their friendship and their final battle ending with rasengan vs chidori.

End of Flashback
*Naruto throws the rasen shuriken as it reaches Sasuke. Sasuke is surprised and isn't able to dodge fast enough.
*Madara shows up and teleports Sasuke away*

Madara, Kakashi, Sasuke: What an attack!
Sasuke: (How much stronger have you gotten Naruto!)
*Naruto is enraged with Madara. Starts releasing Kyubi Chakra forming 1st Tail.

*Inside Naruto's Mind*
Kyubi: Naruto, Uchiha Madara Let Me Kill Him!! I shall help you with your task with the Uchiha brat. You Must Let Me Kill Him Now!
Naruto: ...
Kyubi: You have seen my power i can kill anyone you want me to. Just release this seal.

Sasuke: *Just Like Last Time, This can get bad*
Madara: I think its about time to go Sasuke, you have used up your MS to much and you have barely any chakra. You should rest before we set our course toward Konoha.
Sasuke: Yes, i shall retreat for now. Till Next Time Naruto..
*They Dissapear*

Naruto:(turns back to normal) Sasuke...
Kakashi: There gone, we should hurry back to the village... Sakura, Naruto. We must go now! Take the injured girl with us.

Naruto/Sakura: Yes Sensei!
*Prepare to leave*

Naruto: I will bring you back Sasuke...

Very unlikely for Naruto to be there so soon. Plus, Naruto is too softy...and crying after Kakashi-sensei told him that Sasuke tried to kill Sakura

Naruto 484 – ‘Because I Know’


'Team 7 reunited again, the elucidation began!'

(Sasuke Scene)
Naruto: Sasuke, you've got it all wrong.
Sasuke: Mind your own business.
Kakashi: Naruto, how did you find us?
Naruto: I can sense your chakra from miles away, sensei. In Sennin-Mode I can track people down by sensing their chakra.

Kakashi: I see..
Sasuke: Now what will you do. Bring me back to Konoha? Give me a break.
Naruto: Sasuke, I understand that 'pain' now.. I know how it feels to lose someone close to you..
Sasuke: You don't know anyth-
Naruto: I know about Itachi. Your life was a lie, for the sake of you.
Kakashi: Naruto! What did I tell you about this? This is top secret!
Naruto: Forget it sensei!
Kakashi: !

Naruto: 'Pain breeds hatred, and hatred breeds war'.. This chain of hatred that has been clinging to your clan...
Sasuke: What are you trying to say.

Naruto: The chain gets stronger the more pain there is. You need to let go of the pain and free yourself of the chains of Darkness! Itachi wanted you to follow the path of good.
Sasuke: I cannot follow that path, I have to restore the Uchiha in my own way. The way in the Darkness.

*Sasuke turns around and starts walking away*
Naruto: *closeup of his mouth*- One who chooses to live in the Darkness has a high price to pay...
*Sasuke stops and looks in the corner of his eye*
Naruto: Sasuke, I'm not going to try to stop you like I did before. But let me tell you this; Once you live there, there will be no coming back. The Uchiha is a noble clan. But before my eyes, I don't see an Uchiha. Right now, I see the Darkness itself in front of me.
Don't let our friendship and your clan go for waste.. please.

Sasuke: I will never give in to the Senju. I will continue with my revenge. I don't care about the 'Darkness'. So be it.
Kakashi: (...)
Sakura: What are you two talking about?
Naruto: Sakura, we have some important things to talk about.
Sasuke: hmph. *Sasuke starts walking again*
Naruto: We will meet again..on the battlefield that is..

*Sasuke closes his eyes while walking*

*In a cave wich the Uchiha crest on all walls, someone in the shadows is sitting in a big chair made of stone*
????: Sasuke, your eyes will be mine..
*Suddenly two eyes are glowing red*
????: Zetsu, have you recorded it?
Black-Zetsu: Ofcourse.
????: Good.. It is time to pressure Sasuke even more. I need someone to control the Gedo Mazo.
Black-Zetsu: How?
????: The Kyuubi.
*The person grabs a mask and walks to Black Zetsu.
????: Lets go.

'Who is this mysterious person, hiding in the shadows? And where is White Zetsu?'
Next: 'Sasuke under Pressure'

Again, very unlikely for Naruto to be there so soon.

Naruto 485: "A Fight For Power!"

The most irrealist of all the prediction

Predictions 1-3 are the most plausible.

Prediction number 1: last part, I don't see that happening....
Prediction number 2: Kakashi saying Sasuke has mastered the Lightning Chakra meant that Sasuke mastered it to the point that he could make variations of Chidori.
Prediction number 3: Seriously, would you be surprised if Sasuke could still use Susanoo??

[ciardha]

I believe I have say it before. Even if Sakura saves the five countries, Konoha and Naruto they will always hate her like she was the main villain.

I basically ignore them. For some reason the feisty, compassionate, romantic type female character in any series always garners very vocal hatred by a segment of the readership (that goes for not just manga but superhero comics and even TV shows and movies). I've seen it in numerous fandoms so I know it's not specific to a particular character, it's always the same words too. For me that type female character is my favorite, because they are the most realistic. Neither the cool, dominant, sexy Alpha female stereotype, nor the Beta sweet, submissive stereotype. Kishimoto himself described Sakura as the most realistic of his characters.

[catsi563]

she always was.

her background was at worst mundane no monster sealed in her, no family tragedy, and her only issue was being picked on for her forehead. No clan, no special techniques, no superior skills save her intelligence and chakra control.

all told an average ninja and a nice normal person.

a normal person who has changed and been developed more than any character in the series to date and who quite frankly has the most potential for future development as well.

[StrawberryAcappella]

It's finally getting good!!!

[James S Cassidy]

I have a headache between all of this.

The word "Love" is being thrown around so many times, I am not even sure what they mean. I don't think we can trust when someone says "love" in this manga. Hinata said "I love you." Sakura said "I love you." Sai said "She loves you/He loves you." So what is what?

As for Karin being a human lie detector. Remember that lie detectors only show fluxes in the body when someone lies. Sakura said nothing about being in love with Sasuke and so Karin cannot know what she is lying about...if she detected lying at all.

All Karin would probably sense is the fluxes in Sakura's body from Sakura deciding to kill Sasuke and lying that she wants to join him. Now if Karin asked Sakura if she loved Sasuke and she said "No" and she picked that up, then yeah she would pick that up.

Lie detectors, even human ones, can only see fluxes when asked questions. It's not like the police can just tie someone to a chair, strap them up, ask them no questions, and automatically tell they are lying about a crime. If that was the case, then the court system would be a lot sooner.

Like Catsi said, it was rhetorical. She is only inferring since Sasuke seems to know her. Although, I have to say Karin saying that line seems a bit awkward to me. Not awkward as in it has hidden meaning, but awkward as in...what a weird statement to make. It's doesn't fit too well with scripting. Someone you don't know comes out of no where and all you say is "Oh they must love him." Weird

Like some have said...I'll believe it when I see it. If SS does have a chance, then give me hard evidence that definitely states it does. I have so much evidence for NS to happen and some even goes against the SS.

Throwing the word "love" around in this manga means little now since it has been used so much.

[Freakazoid]

meh, don't care for any of those predictions.
