Naruto Chapter 498: Minato and Kushina’s Love Story

jhay — Sat, 12 Jun 2010 10:24:05 +0000

Amongst the most important questions in the world of Naruto are: Who are his parents? What were they like? How did they met?

Speculations have now come to an end as the latest chapter in the Naruto manga series has settled that last question. How did his parents, Namikaze Minato and Uzumaki Kushina fell in love?

The story as told by Naruto’s mother herself, was a classical tale of a “dashing prince coming to the rescue of the princess.” Nevertheless, it was a love story made by fate.

Surprising that it wasn’t “love as first sight” as Kushina described Minato as a “flaky and girly” guy upon their first encounter. And who knew that Naruto’s father was the “silent type” who expressed his interest in Kushina only after rescuing her. Or was he just bidding his time? Either way, the match-up would prove to be providential in due time.

As their combination would produce a powerful force to control the raw energy and power of the Nine-tailed Demon Fox. Just like with the previous chapter, I can’t wait for the next one!

Naruto Chapter 497: Naruto meets his Mother

It’s been a long while since I last blogged about the latest chapter in the Naruto Shippuuden series and right now things are off the hook as Naruto is in the midst of doing battle against the Kyubi or the Nine-tailed Demon Fox.

Naruto aims to control the demon fox by pulling in its massive chakra. But with great risk as the danger of pulling in the demon fox’s hateful will instead will spell disaster for Naruto. On top of that, the Demon fox is insanely powerful now that it’s been released from Naturo’s body.

In this chapter, Killer Bee has managed to help Naruto survive the battle so far. But the Demon fox is just too much even for him. Now Naruto faces the Kyubi on his own. At the perilous moment of the Kyubi’s hatred seeping into Naruto, another figure shows up to lend a helping hand, his own mother, Uzumaki Kushina.

Naruto meets his own mother

The last time Naruto faced the Kyubi and almost lost, his father, the Fourth Hokage showed up and gave him invaluable help. Now it’s his mother’s turn. What could be it? More importantly, what story or secret his mother would reveal to him this time around?

The next chapter is surely something to look out for. I’m excited already!

Naruto Manga Chapter 483: Sasuke tries to kill Sakura

As Kakashi commented in this Chapter, who knew Sasuke could’ve fallen so low as to be serious in killing one of his former team mates?

Madara has indeed corrupted Sasuke so much, he’s bordering on being a real murderer hell-bent on exacting revenge on Konoha.

Kakashi saves Sakura from Sasuke

Luckily for Sakura, Kakashi arrives on time to save her and face his former student. Her plans to take care of Sasuke on her own backfired with even her life being put in danger. With Sasuke having no remorse in killing any of his former friends from the Hidden Leaf, the battle between him and Kakashi, master and student, will be of epic proportions.

It’s Copy Ninja Kakashi versus the Uchiha’s fallen avenger Sasuke in the next chapters of the manga series. Who do you think would win?

Naruto Chapter 450: Danzo becomes 6th Hokage!

It’s been a long while since I last blogged about the Naruto Manga series, but this particular chapter deserves some great attention.

After Naruto’s glorious defeat of Pain which led to the revival of all villagers killed during the battle, the joy in the ‘joyful village’ seems to have been cut short by another dark event in Konoha’s history; the appointment of Danzo as the 6th Hokage.

Danzo becomes the 6th Hokage

And I was under the impression that Danzo and his men were wiped out when Pain used his Shinra Tensei technique to wipe out Konoha. Well obviously, like the rat that he is, he survived and has managed to mount a coup on his own and complete his life-long ambition of becoming Hokage.

With this, it seems that a civil war will come to Konoha once they find out about what Danzo has really done while Konoha was being attacked by Pain. With Ligthning Ninjas finally arrived and Sasuke’s team on his way to Konoha, the final battle is still about to start.

Naruto Manga Chapter 444: Nagato’s Pain

Another chapter of the Naruto Shippuuden Manga series has been released, Chapter 444: The Answer details the beginning of the dialog between Nagato and Naruto.

Both having an answer of their own the question that seems to have started it all, how to attain peace in this world. Or their world for that matter.

Nagato starts to reveal his painful past

After Nagato’s failed attempt to control Naruto, the two decides to put on hold their struggle to hear each other’s stories. Nagato goes first in retelling his story, his pain, so to speak.

One thing that’s to notice though, Nagato and Sasuke has a lot in common. Both went through the tragic pain of losing their family at such a young age. The chapters would be very interesting.
