THE GENERAL ALL-PURPOSE NARUTO THREAD

[W1nTry]

I have a new theory...
What IF
the 'tailed' demons were once gosu nins or just humans with tremendous power and they sought to gain more power by tapping into the strength of animals or nature (animals have a much deeper connection with nature) and they turned themselves into these 'demons' to gain more power. Now imagine Uchiha Madara fought with the human form of the kyubi prior to the transformation (hence why kyubi speaks somewhat ill of the Uchiha clan). Or perhaps Madara trapped the kyubi in the fox form... it's far fetched but yuh never know...

Did the Fourth do the jutsu in the same fashion but manage to not lose his life by returning to the form of a baby?

Dread a man ask a BIG BIG question dere.... something I never even thought about... WHAT IF Naruto is really the 4th hokage?

Oh! this one had me mega-thinking, i stumbled on this thread a little late but....

If u can remember when Sarutobi (the third) sealed orochimaru's jutsu's the seal appeared on his belly and he died, this is the same jutsu the 4th used. It's a seal for anything(even 9 tail demon foxes) but it just takes your life. Well considering the seal is on Naruto, why would the 4th have to die and the seal go on someone else, how could he have done it? I think he mastered this jutsu and found out how to cheat death, by returning to the form of a baby.

one thing we know for sure, there is no mention of Naruto's mother or father, why? The rasengan was a jutsu the third Hokage couldn't learn according to Ero-Sennin, and a jutsu that the 4th learnt in three years. Then why stupid Naruto learns this in a lot less than 1 year?

As for the jinchuruki i have other BIG surprises for you guys lol!!! The story of bijuu have been around wayyy before kishimoto, i found info on all nine bijuu, after reading it i had a whole new look on naruto . i'm gonna post that in another thread.

Featuring the Nine Bijuus from the Japanese Legend and the tale itself, this is a brand fresh official collection of information.
Wow after reading this I really started thinking, and wondering if any other bijuu are gonna make an appearance? anyways read on ...


Legend of the Tailed Beasts

In the ancient Japan, according to the legend, each elemental god was sealed into an elemental shrine. Out of the 9 Bijuu, 5 of them were elemental gods, those being Shukaku, of the Wind; Kyuubi, of Fire; Isonade, of Water; Raijuu, of Lightning, and Kaku of Earth.
In the Legend of the Tailed Beasts, the 5 elemental gods were sealed with instruments called “The Tools of Power” (法器). Not all of them are known, and their translation may be not accurate, but all resemble a type of varied container (kettle, prison, altar, etc.)
After researching for a while, I’ve discovered that the “Tools of Power” descend from the “Eight Immortals” from the Chinese mythology. They’re deities who transfer their individual energy to each “Tool of Power”, that is able to give life or destroy evil. Together, the eight tools are called "Covert Eight Immortals" (暗八仙); (Though only five appear in the Legend, and it may be a varied version of it). The Immortals are: Immortal Woman He (He Xiangu), Royal Uncle Cao (Cao Guojiu), Iron-crutch Li (Li Tieguai), Lan Caihe, Lü Dongbin, Philosopher Han Xiang (Han Xiang Zi), Elder Zhang Guo and Zhongli Quan.

Personal Notes: For a moment I associated the Immortal Woman to Sakura <insert snicker> and Iron Crutch Li to Lee, and even some of the others to characters from the Rookie 9 + Gai Team; but everything is too vague.

Continuing the Elemental Shrine story:
There were respective shrines dedicated to these elemental Bijuu scattered through Japan’s territory, being the Fire shrine the strongest. Though, the shines keep releasing spiritual energy even while the Bijuu are sealed within sleeping, and this power from the 5 shrines goes to the Five-Tails: Houkou.
After Yamata no Orochi got the legendary sword Kusanagi no Tsurugi from the Kusanagi Clan, it defeated Nekomata and Houkou (Check Yamata no Orochi’s tale).
Yamata no Orochi then proceeded to release a tremendous amount of dark power to awaken the five elemental Bijuu, that were sealed in the 5 shrines, with the purpose of bringing chaos between worlds.
It ended up fighting the one deserving of the title “King of Bijuu”: Kyuubi no Youko. It has an unending amount of chakra, and because of that, Yamata no Orochi was defeated.

一尾 | 守鶴 - One Tail (Ichibi), Shukaku
As we all know, this is Gaara's demon, a wild, extravagant monster.
Jinchuuriki: Sabaku no Gaara (Extracted)
Tale in the Legend of the Tailed Beasts： Shukaku is a bijuu in the form of Raccon Dog (Tanuki of the Japanese mythology). Before, he was a priest that lived in the Desert of Nara. Because of the dark power released by Yamata no Orochi, and under the heavy assault of wind and sand, he transformed into a racoon dog (His actual form). He has a playful and extravagant personality, resembling the Tanuki nature. Has a pretty active sexual life. Shukaku lives in the souls of people killed by the wind and sand (This actually resembles the case of Gaara’s mother). The violet (blue in the anime) tatoos represent his title of God of Wind.
Situation in the Ancient War of the 9 Gods： Battled 5 times; 1 Win, 3 Losses, 1 Flee
Wins： Sokou
Losses： Raijuu, Nekomata, Isonade
Escapes： Yamata no Orochi
Fate： Shukaku is defeated by a Nara Monk called Oraga Nakashimu with a type of magic art. Then, the monk proceeds to use the "Tool of Power: Antler Teakettle" to seal it into the seal in the Wind Shrine.
Japanese Myth Appearance: A species of Tanuki, Yellow body
Ability: Sandstorms, has the control of Wind and Sand manipulation.
Bijuu Strength Ranking： 8th
Bijuu Chakra/Stamina Ranking： 9th
Symbolic Element： Wind (God of Wind)
Origin / Discovered in： Nara Desert
Personal Notes: Shukaku is represented as the reincarnation of a Sand Priest in the series (which would be the poor guy transformed by the Sand and Wind.)
More info about Shukaku:
About Tanuki: (From Wikipedia)
Tanuki have been part of Japanese myth since ancient times. The mythical tanuki is reputed to be mischievous and jolly, a master of disguise and shapeshifting, but somewhat gullible and absent-minded.
Tanuki in folklore:
The current humorous image of tanuki is thought to have been developed during the Kamakura era. The wild tanuki has unusually large testicles, a feature often comically exaggerated in artistic depictions of tanuki. Tanuki may be shown with their testicles flung over their backs like a traveller's pack, or using them as drums. Tanuki are also typically depicted as having large bellies. They may be shown drumming on their bellies instead of their testicles, especially in children's art.
During the Kamakura and Muromachi eras, some stories began to include more frightening, man-eating tanuki. The otogizōshi story of "Kachi-kachi Yama" features a tanuki that clubs an old lady to death and serves her to her unknowing husband as "old lady soup". Other stories report tanuki as being harmless and productive members of society. Several shrines have stories of past priests who were tanuki in disguise.
A popular tale known as Bunbuku chagama is about a tanuki who fooled a monk by transforming into a tea-kettle. Another is about a tanuki who tricked a hunter by disguising his arms as tree boughs, until he spread both arms at the same time and fell off the tree. Tanuki are said to cheat merchants with leaves they have magically disguised as paper money. Some stories describe tanuki as using leaves as part of their own shape-shifting magic.
Statues of tanuki can be found outside many Japanese temples and restaurants, especially noodle shops. These statues often wear a big, cone-shaped hat and carry a bottle of sake. Tanuki statues always have a large belly, although contemporary sculptures may or may not show the traditional large testicles. These exaggerated features represent fertility and plenty.


二尾 | 貓又 – Two Tail (Nibi), Nekomata

Nekomata, Female Form:

Nekomata:
Tale in the Legend of the Tailed Beasts： Nekomata is a bijuu in the form of cat, and possesses the power of death. This Bijuu lives in a place called “Forest of Death” (Not a mistranslation.) in Hokkaido, to the north. His appearance is a black cat monster (depicted with huge, black angel wings). He’s the Death God’s pet. Nekomata feeds on dead people’s spirits, and can summon these to fight for him. He uses a third eye at the top of its head to consume the spirits.
Situation in the Ancient War of the 9 Gods： Trying to dominate his enemies, Nekomata forms an alliance with Houkou, and attacks Kyuubi. They have a disastrous defeat, and Nekomata is rescued by the Death God, escaping death by a hair’s breadth. Battled 3 times; 2 Wins, 1 Loss.
Wins： Kaku, Isonade
Losses： Kyuubi
Fate： Nekomata ends up killed by Kyuubi later, and in that instant his spirit is summoned by the Death God. The body was kept in a shrine in the Forest of Death, sealed by the Death God himself.
Japanese Myth Appearance: A species of two tails black cat, with slightly more pointed ears and bigger canines.
Ability: Death; may control deceased person's spirits (May be related to Gaara) as well as different dark beasts
Bijuu Strength Ranking： 4th
Bijuu Chakra/Stamina Ranking： 8th
Symbolic Element： Darkness (God of Darkness)
Origin / Discovered in： Hokkaido’s “Forest of Devils” (Different of Forest of Death)
Personal Notes: This better have had a female Jinchuuriki.
More info about Nekomata: it is said it can walk erect. The original Bijuu was a old cat, depicted as a fat, old lady’s image also.
People knew of it, and in fear of having their cats turned into the monster, they cut its tails to prevent the transformation when the time came – a bifurcation. By gesturing with its tail (and walking erect), Nekomata can animate and control the dead to do their bidding, or even dance for their amusement. Sometimes it eats its owner, then changes into an human appearance, waiting for a next opportunity. Nekomata eats the person it hates, but if the person is even more wicked, the crueler the cat becomes. When it sees the person, Nekomata won’t differ the bad and good anymore, and injures the person as much as it can. There is also a good Nekomata in the legend, that often turns into a young girl’s appearance to approach the society; with a very docile nature, likes eating fish, has a beautiful body and likes depending upon others. Otherwise, the Nekomata’s appearance becomes of a old woman, that displays bad habits in public and always has an air of dread around her; which if around people for an extended period can cause disease and pestilence.

Nekomata can also do other magic, but their most well-known and common power is that of animating the dead and manipulating them to whatever ends the particular nekomata wishes. A nekomata must be appeased by attention, food, and respect, and while many are fickle and turn their attention at a moment's notice, they do not tend to forget when they are insulted and by whom, holding grudges. To gain revenge, these nekomata usually controlled the tormentors' dead relatives, haunting them until the nekomata was appeased with food, apologies and attention.

三尾 | 磯憮 –
Three Tails (Sanbi),
Isonade
Tale in the Legend of the Tailed Beasts： Isonade is a shark shaped Bijuu with a sharp horn on the forehead. It lives in the deep waters on the West of Japan, fighting pirates. Every few months, Isonade will swim to the surface of the sea from the deep waters, to breath some fresh air. However, when he does this, storms erupt, oceans rage, and all ships will be swallowed by him as food. Isonade has a subordinate fish called Samehada (?) (Same name as Kisame's Sword. Depicted differently, but with same pronunciation). Samehada attaches itself to Isonade’s stomach, and absorbs its food to create huge amounts of chakra, proceeding to send it back to its body. Samehada’s power can enable Isonade to get 5 times the quantity of chakra it could originally get. Therefore, when Isonade battles, he will have unlimited chakra to receive from Samehada.
Situation in the Ancient War of the 9 Gods： Battled 4 times; 2 Wins, 1 Loss, 1 Flee
Wins： Kaku, Shukaku
Losses： Nekomata
Escapes： Yamata no Orochi
Fate： A fisherman and brave warrior from Yokohama, called Takuma Muramasa, sacrifices himself in behalf of two villages in a courageous act, getting near Isonade and sealing his personal servant Samehada in the “Tool of Power: Pot of the Shark-named fish” from seal in the Water Shrine. Isonade then becomes unable to draw the massive chakra, and ends up getting exausted and sucked by the Tool’s seal in the Water Shrine as well.
Japanese Myth Appearance: A big shark/fish(?) with 3 tails and 3 fins. Has a dark blue body color, is attracted by blood (like all sharks); has a personal servant, a small fish named Samehada, as shown above, that is responsible to help Isonade absorb and digest Chakra in 5 times his original capacity.
Ability: Generic water powers, can control the currents of water.
Bijuu Strength Ranking： 6th
Bijuu Chakra/Stamina Ranking： 7th
Symbolic Element: Water (God of Water)
Origin / Discovered in： Four Nanju Country Islands - Yawagawa Sea Area (*COUGH*Nanju is Kisame's Akatsuki Rank*COUGH*)
Personal notes: Well, if this bijuu doesn’t scream KISAME to you, then this note is indeed useful. The Samehada connection is frightening (absorbs chakra), but there can be more about it, explaining WHY Kisame’s chakra reserve is SO big (as being the biggest in Akatsuki).

四尾 | 鼠鮫 -
Four Tails (Yonbi),
Sokou

Tale in the Legend of the Tailed Beasts： Sokou is a bijuu that looks like a reptile. It was a creature that lived near Mount Fuji. Because of the toxic gas and the volcaninc ash, he was transformed into a half-rooster, half-snake monster. The Rooster and Snake are husband and wife in Sokou’s body. Everything around it withers away or dies, because of its poison. According to the Legend, whenever he hibernates in Mount Fuji, the snoring he causes will make the volcano erupt.
Situation in the Ancient War of the 9 Gods： Battled 4 times; 3 Losses, 1 Flee
Losses： Shukaku, Kaku, Houkou
Escapes： Raijuu
Fate： Sokou was sealed by a master of demonic arts, called Yamazaki Ishiro, with the “Tool of power: Netted Moon Cage” to the seal in the Mount Fuji’s base. Sokou becomes unable to send out his poisonous gas from the mountain for all eternity.
Japanese Myth Appearance: A four-tailed Rooster / Snake mixture. The lower part of the body is a Snake, while the upper part is a Rooster. Crawls instead of walking (Just like desert scorpions *COUGH*Hiruko!Sasori*COUGH*). Most of the body parts have an orange tone. Lives in the mount Fuji.
Ability: Controls poison, poisonous gas, venoms, and so on.
Bijuu Strength Ranking： 9th
Bijuu Chakra/Stamina Ranking： 6th
Symbolic Element： Poison
Origin / Discovered in： Close to Tokyo, Mount Fuji.
Personal notes: Well, it indeed makes you remember of Sasori. Just a little.
More info about Sokou: If you remember, Sokou is the oriental counterpart of the folklore creature Cockatrice. Sokou doesn’t have wings like it, though.

Tailed beasts continued

Five Tails (Gobi),
Houkou
Tale in the Legend of the Tailed Beasts： Houkou is a bijuu which looks like a five-tailed dog. Each tail of this creature represents one elemental power: Wind, Water, Earth, Lightning and Fire. They can cause catastrophic damage when used. Houkou will willingly destroy the nature to obtain the power he desires from these elements. He was once badly injured when he and Nekomata challenged Kyuubi. Strangely enough, he is the god of Illusion. Houkou lives in a giant, ancient tree.
Situation in the Ancient War of the 9 Gods： Battled 4 times; 3 Wins, 1 Loss
Wins： Sokou, Nekomata, Raijuu
Losses： Kyuubi
Fate： After receiving a severe wound, Houkou runs away to one of Japan's islands, and hides in a place near Kyushu’s Volcano - a giant tree, to heal his wound. But the tree's concrete position is not known by anyone.
Japanese Myth Appearance: A species of dog, with 5 long tails. Has a white coloured body. Each of the tails possess one of the five elemental powers, that used simultaneously can cause a big earthquake.
Ability: Attacking using mixture of elements; Houkou is skilled in each kind of element ability, and can also create instantaneously each kind of natural disaster.
Bijuu Strength Ranking： 3rd
Bijuu Chakra/Stamina Ranking： 5th
Symbolic Element： Illusion (Being the god of Illusions)
Origin / Discovered in： Near one of Kyushu’s volcanoes (Akase Lava Volcano, probably)

六尾 | 雷獸 –
6 Tails (Rokubi),
Raijuu
Tale in the Legend of the Tailed Beasts： Raijuu, a bijuu in the form of weasel, has four legs and very sharp claws. Its cry sounds like thunder. It was originally the god of Thunder, but because of Yamata no Orochi’s power, it was transformed into a beast. Raijuu can release a huge amount of eletricity for battle assistance.
Situation in the Ancient War of the 9 Gods： Battled 5 times; 2 Wins, 3 Losses
Wins： Shukaku, Sokou
Losses： Houkou, Yamata no Orochi, Kyuubi
Fate： A ninja called Sarutobi (That’s right, but we don’t know if it’s the series’ Sandaime), in the legend, effectively eliminated Raijuu by using the technique “Kinjutsu: Raikiri”. (Now the confusion starts. This is supposed to be Kakashi’s move, but the way of writing may be different from the actual jutsu, and Kishimoto probably changed this legend to fit the story anyway). What actually happens is that the technique counters the lightning released by Raijuu by cutting it, making the beast receive its own attack, and become severely wounded. (Thus the name lightning edge.) He then is sealed by Sarutobi with the “Tool of Power: Hidden Thunder Prison” into the seal in the Thunder Shrine.
Japanese Myth Appearance: A species of weasel with golden yellow fur. The whole body’s fur grows upright. Its six tails take a lightning shape, (unlike the crappy image I have, but it’s the closest to the legend) just like the ancient God of Thunder.
Ability: Fire caused by lightning, Lightning Thunder, Lightning bolts, Lightning elemental magic arts; Raijuu may also fly about as a ball of lightning / fire.
Bijuu Strength Ranking： 5th
Bijuu Chakra/Stamina Ranking： 4th
Symbolic Element: Lightning (God of Lightning)
Origin / Discovered in： Underground the Thunder Shrine in a town in Kyoto
Personal notes: If this is right and we go by speculation, then could Kakashi have battled with the Raijuu jinchuuriki before? Raijuu also resembles the Pokemon Raikou.
More info about Raijuu: Raiju is also depicted as the companion of Raiden, the Shinto god of lightning. While the demon is generally calm and harmless, during thunderstorms, it becomes agitated and leaps about in trees, fields, and even buildings (trees that have been struck by lightning are said to have been scratched by Raiju's claws).
Another of its peculiar behaviors is sleeping in human navels. This prompts Raiden to shoot arrows at Raiju to wake the creature up, thus harming the person in whose belly the demon is resting. Superstitious people therefore often sleep on their stomachs during bad weather. Other legends say that Raiju will only hide in the navels of people who sleep outdoors.

七尾 | 貉 –
Shichibi (Seven Tails), Kaku
(Also read MUJINA)
Tale in the Legend of the Tailed Beasts： Kaku is a bijuu in the form of badger. Its Kanji is also read as Mujina, which is the name the Japanese subspecies of badger (Meles Meles Anaguma) receives in some parts of Japan. It has seven tails, and is the smallest bijuu out of the nine; though it is the most cunning and stealthy. Kaku hunts its prey underground most of the time. It kills by crumbling/destroying the piece of land that is under its target, making it fall right into his open mouth. Above land, whenever he is around he can transform into any type of creature, but he is unable to do it if he doesn’t have clay.
Situation in the Ancient War of the 9 Gods： Battled 4 times; 1 Win, 3 Flees
Wins： Sokou
Escapes： Nekomata, Isonade, Yamata no Orochi
Fate： Kaku’s storehouse of clay in a hole is found, and is burned by warriors. Kaku is unable to transform, and is defeated by the brave warrior Ikkyo Soujin, who proceeds to seal it with the “Tool of Power: Remnant Earth Altar” into the seal in the Earth Shrine.
Japanese Myth Appearance: Kaku is the smallest Bijuu. It has a blue color, and is good at using clay camouflage. Kaku is very difficult to bump into.
Ability: Transformation (Henge), Clay, Earth elemental magic arts
Bijuu Strength Ranking： 7th
Bijuu Chakra/Stamina Ranking： 3rd
Symbolic Element： Earth (God of Earth)
Origin / Discovered in： Underground Sacrificial Altar in the Nagoya outskirts
Personal notes: Resembles Deidara pretty well.
More info about Kaku: Mujina (貉) is an old Japanese term for a badger. In Japanese folklore, these animals were avid shapeshifters, and one of the forms they were purported to take was that of a faceless ghost. This particular sort of monster is often referred to by English speakers as a mujina, but the Japanese know them as nopperabou.


八尾 | 八岐大蛇 -
Eight Tails (Hachibi),
Yamata no Orochi
(Also known as Hachimata)

Tale in the Legend of the Tailed Beasts： Yamata no Orochi is a Snake bijuu. It has crimsom red eyes, eight heads and eight tails (also depicted to having trees and vines growing around them) and has the power of the Demon world, a symbol of evil. Each head of Yamata no Orochi represents a symbol: Soul, Ghost, Evil, Devil, Monstrous, Kill, The Afterworld and Death.
Its powers were originally weak, the members of the Kusanagi clan, when attacking it, acted carelessly, using the legendary sword Kusanagi no Tsurugi (Oro’s sword). Because of that, as a consequence, Yamata no Orochi takes the sword from them, absorbing the power contained inside, and becoming an incredibly powerful creature, and finally storing it in its body.
With the new power, Yamata no Orochi releases an insane amount of dark energy, awakening the other Bijuu and becoming arrogant. Yamata no Orochi proceeds to defeat many of the Bijuu, but when it battles with Kyuubi, it is defeated. The cause of this is simple: Kyuubi has an unlimited amount of power, making even a hole in the Kusanagi sword. As this happens, it shows how tremendously powerful Kyuubi is, deserving of the “King of Bijuu” title. Not even Sarutobi and Enma (I’m not sure how those two are into the legend) could scratch the Kusanagi no Tsurugi. (That makes connections to the Oro x Sandaime battle)
Legend also depicted it as having a power able to rival Kyuubi’s [in quality], but the fact is, Yamata no Orochi’s does have a limit.
Situation in the Ancient War of the 9 Gods： Battled 5 times; 4 Wins, 1 Losses
Wins： Shukaku, Isonade, Kaku, Raijuu
Losses： Kyuubi
Fate： Yamata no Orochi awaits a genius of the Yagami (NOT the Kanji of Yagami from Death Note, but Yagami as in Eight Gods: 八神) clan, which is the arch enemy of the Kusanagi clan. The purpose is to awake it [Yamata no Orochi], in order to fight Kyuubi again.
Since Yamata no Orochi’s power inherits in the Yagami Clan, If the heir appears as the first genius in 1000 years that is able to awake Yamata no Orochi’s ability, it will be completely restored. Once the process is done, the genius with such crucial task will be destroyed due to the true body of Yamata no Orochi resurfacing, which has an all-new power. It won’t be found before the decisive battle with Kyuubi, and will be able to kill no matter of thing, destroy any type of place, and attain infinite vision (as Kyuubi has). The core of Yamata no Orochi’s power is in a kind of forbidden sealing jutsu. As soon as the Yagami clan heir comprehends enough of it, a bigger, much stronger power will surface in the grasp of Yamata no Orochi.
Japanese Myth Appearance: A super Snake of Eight heads and Eight tails, attached to a single body. Has a deep brown color. It definitely is the biggest bijuu - the lenghth of it is over eight mountains. Originally, it was weaker than Houkou and Nekomata; however, that was 1000 years before a brave warrior tried defeating it with the Kusanagi no Tsurugi. In the process, the sword’s power is absorbed instead by Yamata no Orochi, thus greatly expanding his power. He continues though to be able to use freely the sword in his belly.
Ability: The legendary sword: Kusanagi no Tsurugi; summoning of evil spirits
Bijuu Strength Ranking： 2nd
Bijuu Chakra/Stamina Ranking： 2nd
Symbolic Element： Devil
Origin / Discovered in： An old battlefield in Osaka
Personal notes: Now, everyone knows this one resembles Orochimaru, but what I like is the “Yagami genius” legend, which OF COURSE screams Sasuke.
More info about Yamata no Orochi:
There is the story of the killing of the Eight-Headed Serpent by Susanoo. According to the legend, a local town had been living in fear of the Serpent, and the townspeople offered the sacrifice of a young girl each year to keep it appeased. Lord Susano heard about the town's dilemma, and became determined to slay the beast. He exterminated the serpent by serving it alcohol, and then cutting off its heads while it was intoxicated. Between the Kagura performances, this one is the most famous.

九尾 | 九尾の妖狐 –
Nine Tails (Kyuubi),
Kyuubi no Youko
(Nine-Tailed Demon Fox)
Jinchuuriki: Uzumaki Naruto
Tale in the Legend of the Tailed Beasts： This is a bijuu in the shape of a nine-tailed fox, and the strongest of them all. The reason he is so powerful is simple: Kyuubi has an unlimited amount of power, earning it the “King of Bijuu” title. The power is generated by Kyuubi’s Fire Seal, and as a result, after battling for 100 years with Yamata no Orochi, it becomes exhausted; but Kyuubi continues standing, able to fight. It is also pretty cunning and smart.
Situation in the Ancient War of the 9 Gods： Battled 4 times; All of them victories
Wins： Nekomata, Houkou, Raijuu, Yamata no Orochi
Fate： In unclear whereabouts, Kyuubi continues to kill all the people on his way to find the one who awakened him, and the one who managed to seal him before. (That being Yondaime, probably) Yamata no Orochi didn’t tell Kyuubi, though, that the one who awakened him was the Eight Tails himself.
Japanese Myth Appearance: Kyuubi no Youko is the strongest (S Level) Bijuu of the Japanese Myth. Its body has a red fur; Kyuubi represents the element of Fire. Its abilities are incredible. Because it has never been defeated by any youkai, its total strength is unable to estimate. His tails create cyclones by spinning quickly, and Kyuubi proceeds to rip its enemies with its huge claws. At the same time his fur may shoot fireballs similar to meteorites endlessly, instantly destroying villages. In the ancient Bijuu wars, a challenge results in Houkou being severely wounded, and Nekomata nearly dying, but ending up being rescued by his master, Shinigami (God of Death). Yamata no Orochi depended on the Kusanagi no Tsurugi to fight Kyuubi, but was defeated and the sword received a cracked hole, courtesy of our kitsune.
Ability: Fire element attacks, Flaming claws, and other things depicted above
Bijuu Strength Ranking： 1st
Bijuu Chakra/Stamina Ranking： 1st
Symbolic Element： Fire (God of Fire)
Origin / Discovered in： Hidden Altar of Gods in Kobe
Personal Notes: Interesting how he searches for the one who sealed him. Also, it would be nice if Oro was the cause of Kyuubi’s awakening – the reason Kyuubi attacked the village may very well be because it’s the place he was last seen.
More info about Kyuubi: The Kyuubi is an intelligent demon that is capable of speech and has a scathing, sadistic personality. However he has also a sense of fairness and sarcastic honour, as he sometimes helps Naruto when he is in a difficult situation. This could be for purely selfish reasons, however, for it is speculated that if Naruto dies, then the Kyuubi will die with him. It seems likely that the Kyubi has some concept of a loathing respect for Naruto and even more so for the Fourth Hokage.

  Kishi bases his story on jap legend...  lots of theories about Oro bieng the 8 tails or having it...  might have some  truth as he definately not normal... But kishi doesn't stick completely to jap legend , the Sanbi isn't a shark , its a crab thingy...
  He modeled Akatsuki after the 9 biju , so oro took after the 8 tails... thus similarities...
 
  Its amazing though that ancient jap legends are so close to English  and norse eg. The legend of saint george , man killing a dragon for a girl closely resembles the Japanese legend of Susanoo killing the 8 tails..  A cockatrice like demon etc. makes you wonder if these things had any truth .


 dunno if we should take what you posted too seriously , as too many times before know-it-alls have posted utter nonsense claiming it was naruto storyline, i don't think Kishi would let out his story yet ,  i dont' even think he finished thinking it up himself....

[TrinireturnofGamez]

 Bijuu are japenese legend ...  Like what western dragons , gargoyles , werewolves , vampires etc. are , Kishi takes his ideas from jap legend to some extent...
 

    Yes naruto appears to be learning a wind rasengan atm...

     We'r not 100% of  the details of Yondaime's jutsu... But it looks like teleportation.. I'v seen Kakashi and other jounin do something like it in the anime... And orochimaru , so ''Summon Moving'' isn't unusual , but Yondaime is the only one to use it in battle...f moving  fast like that without Byakugan/Sharingan is problematic .
    With Chidori only Sharingan users can use it effectively because they move so fast that normal eyesight is useless, so a non sharingan user can at best go in a straight line , or around something he knows is there  ... .
   Now if you were to appear on any spot you want in a split second you won't have a great idea of whats at the location , and may be open to attack... As well you will probably need a seal to have a location to teleport to , and not everyone is skilled at making seals as we'v seen , usually its only jounin/Hokage level people that use them... Yondaime on the other hand , is so skilled he can write the whole seal in a split second, or apply it with just a touch..
   Besides that it probably uses a nasty amount of chakra  or at least needs alot of skill.

 always knew crixx was funny  : P

Bijuu are japenese legend ...  Like what western dragons , gargoyles , werewolves , vampires etc. are , Kishi takes his ideas from jap legend to some extent...

where ur correct is it is legend, but we can't overlook the fact that he has included almost all these jinchuuriki in his comic. Maybe he didn't outright say it, but we know Akatsuki is going after them(jinchuuriki) and we knoe kisame is a shark( not a crab.....ROFL) and has a sword called sameha (like the legend) so I don't think that Orochimaru having the 8 tails inside him is far off. According to the legend, Yamato no Orochi had awaken the 9 tails and it said the 9 tails was seeking the person who did that. Maybe thats why it attacked Konoha (Orochimaru was in Konoha at the time) and lets not forget the fabled sword of kusanagi that lies deep within Oro's stomach...see any similarities???

With Chidori only Sharingan users can use it effectively because they move so fast that normal eyesight is useless, so a non sharingan user can at best go in a straight line , or around something he knows is there  ... .

this makes absolutely NO SENSE, you are saying that Gail and lee could use chidori (cuz i know they much much faster than sasuke and kakashi)
 

[TrinireturnofGamez]

 i  said ONLY SHARINGAN users ,  if Lee and Gai could use lightning chakra yes they could try to do it , but like Kakashi before sharingan it would be as dangerous to them as to the enemy , look at your picture,  if Sasuke didn't have sharingan to dodge gaara's spikes he would be dead ..   
   Read the manga, yondaime himself said it was a half complete jutsu (without sharingan) as you cannot see if the enemy guards or attacks you , or even if you do see , you can't stop easily .

[Andrew_005]

hmmm...can't say i remember reading that, but if u can tell me what ep manga maybe i can understand a bit more

[W1nTry]

Trini is right here, in fact in the latest manga kakashi was explaining that the Rasegnan was incomplete and how the sharingan completed the chidori as it allowed the user to be able to dodge a counter attack.

[Crixx_Creww]

first off

alyuh neeeds to stop hating on the love itachi and i have for each other.

Secondly andrew, it took the 4th 3 years to MASTER the rasengan.
Naruto hasnt mastered it yet, as ive said before. Mastery includes doing one handed rasengans, like jiraiya does alll to easily, childs play even, like kakashi clearly can do quite easily and also being able to do one handed oodama rasengans, like the one naruubi pulled off.
N00by naruto can still only do rasengan with aid of a clone.
I bet even sasuke can do one handed rasengans.
and now with juin 2 he can do one handed uudama rasengans.. and.... wait...

Supposed teh jutsu that oro begged sasuke not to do was not a mixed chakura type jutsu like i thought all along... but.. what if sasuke and oro have learned how to perfect rasengan?
What if they have learned how to manipulate shape and nature of chakura to the extent that they have some sort of super electric fire rasengan O.o wow and throwable like a genki dama!!

Is possible with the way sasuke raised his hand after performing some quick seals when he was gonna kill them.

Small Input:


Yondaime teleported. The kunai markers he left were summoning marks. It wasn't even Goku's instant transmission where he turns himself into a photon and travels. It's -really- instantaneous....until Kishimoto decides to change it.

[TrinireturnofGamez]

    One thing we'v seen with naruto so far is that people don't like to use other people's techniques.. Even Kakashi prefers Chidori to Rasengan... And sasuke/Oro have  too much pride to use n00by naruto's jutsu anyway..
   I think Sasuke's ultimate jutsu was a fire technique... if i remember correctly he raised his hand to form the Tiger seal and said 'Katon...' Mixing two techniques is something pretty hard , we haven't really seen anyone besides Haku and Yamamoto , who posses blood line ability (or something similar for yamamoto) combine two elements to make a new one eg. Ice , wood .... What naruto is doing is different , he's trying to combine extreme chakra manipulation (rasengan) with chakra alteration (wind chakra) , which is apparantly so hard that even Yondaime couldn't do it.

  ******* spoilers*******
  latest manga definately has naruto trying to make a wind rasesngan , and one of the konoha teams and shikamaru looking like they capture an akatsuki member

[W1nTry]

Actually Trini they were trying to KILL him, not capture him. They RAN him through on both sides with 2 huge blades... of course from the hint of the next chp, it won't do them much good as I suspect Kidan has some kind of undead technique. THat aside Trini is right in that what naruto is trying to do is extreme chakra SHAPING manipulation and nature manipulation. It was said that only a FEW nin have been able to accomplish that, Kakashi IS one of those nin (if you read it over in the last 2-3 chps, he explained where he uses nature manipulation to form electricity then uses shape manipulation to control its flow, length and concentration). Anyway, Naruto on the other hand is essentially doing the same as chidori, save Rasengan is MUCH more focused than Chidori. As Kakashi put it, rasengan is EXTREME shape manipulation, thus combining the 2 (shape and nature) on THAT level is near impossible for most.

I liked that naruto was going Naruubi too, man was about to bust out 4 tails OUI! Seeing how linear the story has been, I would bet on Sasuke's technique being similar to what naruto is attempting to acheive. That is, Shape and nature manipulation on a higher level. THe fact that he can do chidori means he at least in a fundamental way ALREADY can do both together. However maybe he has surpassed this and has combined lightning, fire and shape manipulation OR what I think is more conceiveable is that he has combined fire and lightning but not shape. If it's a utlra powerful jutsu to obliterate your opponentS (meaning them all in 1 shot) shap would be less relevant as he just intends to swamp the area with lightning/fire. Thus I think we can look forward (hopefully) to another Sasuke/Naruto showdown with Sasuke using a multi-NATURED attack vs. Naruto's Extreme Shape/1 nature jutsu. That way neither character is too far above the other and they both have techniques that are unique to both.

I have a question, how many ppl suspect Naruto will NOT learn this technique in training and will figure it out on the battlefield? show by raise of hands.
*W1nTry raises 2 hands and a foot*

[EmpireKing]

EKING raises his hand knowing thats wat will happen

....Trini thanks for tellin me that bout d latest chptrs ......Im gonna read ouit al the manga 2nite....ah reach chptr 28x...

[Gaara_Temari_Rulz]

yeah i think that's gonna happen as well......but there's always the chance that it mite not n he mite learn it but we wont see it until he decides to use it in battle....against non other than sasuke........

[EmpireKing]

i feel naruto gonna almost kill Itachi with that move an sasuke will come after him


yayayayayyyyyyyy i read out all d manga dis mornin.........

[TrinireturnofGamez]

  i doubt even after this new jutsu he'll be on itachi's level , more likely on one of the weaker akatsuki members.. or more specifically one of the slower ones , no matter how much damage the new jutsu can do , naruto is still too slow to catch itachi or sasuke with it... Notice he has only really caught one person with rasengan (kabuto), and he caught him because he was unaware.... Itachi knows alot of naruto's moves from the last encounter , and will  know not to get catch .

    The sasuke-naruto fight was  purely 'who is stronger' , thus you had both smashing into each other with chidori/rasengan, but in a conventional ninja battle nobody wants to eat a rasengan to see if he could handle it. Thats one thing Chidori has over rasengan, especially since the user has sharingan , you gonna get hit unless you REAL bloody fast , or have sharingan to block it.
 
   What might happen is that Yamamoto or Sakura will hold itachi down with some jutsu long enough for naruto to hit him... And i'm pretty sure he'll survive ... Itachi, Sasuke ,Orochimaru and of course Naruto are characters that aren't gonna die any time soon... probably not for the next 100 manga chapters at least , while Oro can't touch akatsuki , he's one of the most important baddies, Kishi didn't put so much effort into any villain other than Itachi , he will likely be the 'last boss' in the end .

[EmpireKing]

thats if there is an end

[Gaara_Temari_Rulz]

There will be an end, but who knows wat will happen, maybe itachi will be the last boss or maybe it'll be the leader of akatsuki. What i would like to know is wat sasuke read as to what is the true purpose of the sharingan and the uchiha clan....the thing that itachi told him to go and read under the 7th matt in their temple.....dat seems interestin. any thoughts? Oh and has anyone noticed how lame the manga is makin Gaara out to be? I mean he hav real moves and does do some real dred shit but in the end he does always lose...........it only happen since he decide to be good and not use the shukaku at all.......
