    Man I can't wait to see what happens between Naruto and Sasuke's fight.
    I wonder who's attack will win Naruto's rangesan or Sauske's chidori. But I think that Naruto is holding back on sasuke. He probably just wants to return him to normal.

    OMFG!!!

    I can't believe you, Sasuke! I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU'D REALLY KILL HIM FOR THE EYE!

    Sasuke... you need a good slap.

    Since Sasuke isn't using the Cursed Seal, I don't think he'll win the power match of the Chidori vs. Rasengan. You saw what Sasuke thought when he saw the minimal damage he did to the water tower compared to Naruto. Then again, it seems as if the Chidori's a more precise strike, which would STILL lose against the Rasengan.

    BUT, you've got to see that Sasuke was also using the Sharingan, so he might be able to better counter it in the future...

    I'd give it to the Rasengan for the first round, easily. But, that's just me liking Naruto more than Sasuke, probably.

    Are you talking about Chapter 226? Because if you are, then Kakashi is definitely not there to stop them, as the Chidori and Rasengan are already in contact with each other in the final panel.

    You might be talking about the EARLIER chapter that happens on the roof of the hospital that Sasuke and Rock Lee were staying at...in which case, you'd be right.

    Unless Kakashi made them think that they connected each other's ultimate moves with his Rasengan, which Sasuke SHOULD see through.

    Right on! Sasuke has to realize revenge isn't what makes someone strong. It would be nice to have the mangekyou, but I wonder if someone with purely sharingan can counter that eye. (I know Sasuke couldn't in the hotel, but maybe later on). Anyways I said this before I'll say it again, Naruto better beat some sense into Sasuke!

    As far as I see, though, the Rasengan's made of pure power, while the Chidori does its actual damage upon contact of organs, the voltage making them go 'splodey and all. Since the Chidori's likely less effective on say, rubber or some such, being lightning-defined, the Rasengan, which is either made of pure chakra or some other thing, would win by power.

    Of course, that's assuming that Naruto and Sasuke was drawing an equal amount of power, which I doubt they are.

    ..Let's just wait for Sasuke to pimpslap Naruto with his own move. <_<

    Well, even though Sasuke isn't under the influence of the seal directly, it's pretty easy to see that he's not himself. Remember Sakura saying he was "lost in darkness" and only Naruto could bring him back?

    I think he's under some kind of influence.... (not drugs, lol).

    As to who will win... Naruto HAS to, otherwise Naruto will die. ^_^;; I think that the fight will be interrupted, though.

    I thought the manga said that he was drawing power from the seal, even though he wasn't fully activating it...?

    ANYWAY, the Magenkyou Sharingan seems like it needs a really traumatic experience for it to be released by a Sharingan user. A very tragic event, it looks like. Though, I can't see why Sasuke can't ALREADY use the Magenkyou (other than he's not strong enough yet) since he DID see all his family dead at the hands of his BROTHER. =D

    And I thought the Chidori was pure chakra that just LOOKS like lightning because it's so concentrated? It certainly didn't "'splode" Haku's organs, more than completely tear through him like a rusty knife. ...But, certainly, Rasengan has to have more power in it, if only for the pure centrifugal force contained within that little vacuum. Combine that with the power actually IN it, then it's easy to see the Rasengan having more raw power than the Chidori.

    chapter 226

    They both seem very determined. and are at equal odds right now. I wonder the result? It'll be a bit before we find out.. sigh.. so. we'll see what's more powerful. I believe the Rasengan is, considering the water towers incident. but you never know if someone will interrupt like Kabuto after Sasuke pulls some sneaky move.

    No, you can only obtain the Magenkyou by killing your closest friend.
    Uh-oh. That seems to be Naru-chan for Sasuke.

    Though he could've killed Sakura, y'know...

    I know that's what the manga SAYS, but there could be other ways of unlocking that particular jutsu. I mean, Naruto doesn't exactly learn the Rasengan according to how Jiraiya did it, did he? Instead of training for YEARS to get his control good enough on ONE hand, he uses THREE hands, thus adapting the technique to his own ends.

    Like I said, it could be that the Sharingan user has to be traumatized enough to experience the Magenkyou for himself, thus unlocking it for his own use. Anyway, I ALSO counteracted my own statement by saying that Itachi should have already THEN have activated it, seeing as how he KNOWS it was his brother that killed the Uchiha clan.

    It's all my own speculation really. I'm just putting it in terms that Sasuke doesn't necessarily have to kill Naruto (ie his best friend) to obtain it. Just be traumatized enough to unlock it.

    Sasuke, you mean? ^_^;; As a child, I think the trauma of having your family murdered would be enough. But maybe it took an extent of skill, too, as you mentioned.

    I think Naruto's learning was completely different, though. He just utelized more hands to finish it in less time... he still trained the same way as Jiraiya.

    And it would be no fun if there was another way... it really really complicates things. He has to kill Itachi, who won't acknowledge Sasuke until he has the eye. And for that, he's gotta kill our hero.

    Why dosen't he just become best friends with some dog? Kill it. xD Man's best friend and all, y'know.

    Still, how close are Sasuke and Naruto? They hardly even talk, and are apart quite a bit. Would it really be extremely traumatic for Sasuke to kill Naruto?

    I think that Naruto will be able to help Sasuke through this fight, as he did with Gaara. But, if Sasuke doesn't change I think it would be better for Naruto to get rid of Sasuke before he ends up like Orochimaru, or becomes Orochimaru..

    Well, think about Sasuke and Naruto's relationship (SASUNARU! o.o j/k) compared to Sasuke and other people. Naruto is pretty close in comparison. It would be traumatic for Sasuke to kill Naruto. I mean, it would be bad enough for the readers. Sasuke may act tough, and say he dosen't care, but I think we ALL know better than that. It would be even worse for Sasuke to kill Naruto, because he was a person who could never express how much he did care about the people around him. That's probably because of what happened to him as a child. When your whole family is murdered, killing isn't something you take too lightly. Also, Naruto was one of the few people close to Sasuke, and as we can see from his childhood (always wanting to have Itachi teach him and his father recognize him), we can see that he desires human interaction. He has it... and it would be hard for him to throw it away.

    In his current state of "Darkness" though... those feelings are probably suppressed.

    Chapter 225 is on Volume 25. It's the final chapter in that particular volume.

    I think there are enough proof, even in the anime, that Naruto is currently the most trusted friend of Sasuke, as far as the word friend goes for Sasuke. It is even mentioned by the subordinates of Orochimaru that Naruto is responsible for beginning to pave a path for Sasuke that is other than the hunger of power to kill Itachi, and that they must be separated for Orochimaru's plans with Sasuke to continue. Naruto has also possibly spent more time in encouragement and what one can call 'fun' with Sasuke than more or less everyone else (Kakashi - mostly training, to heighten his power because of their similarities, and Sakura - an one-sided relationship, really. Other than Sasuke's realization of his friends in the team and adoption of Kakashi's 'I'll let nobody on my team die,' that is.) Sasuke's care for Naruto is shown in his frantic search for Naruto when Itachi was mentioned in Kakashi's room, and his trust shown by he giving the duty of saving Sakura from Gaara when he himself was overpowered even within the cursed seal's power.

    This darkness could probably be compared to the time when Sasuke's curse seal was first set off, and perhaps it could be broken like the curse seal's malice was broken at that time. Otherwise, we're going to see an injury or two.

    I really like Naruto's thoughts about Sasuke in chapter 227. I mean, Naruto realized it, how are they friends? Sasuke never was like Naruto, they are completely different, so Naruto aspired to be Sasuke. But who would want to be Sasuke? Sasuke needs to realize what is truly important, that's what I think. Now, Naruto has to slap some sense into Sasuke. Oh well. I can't wait to see what happens.
