Naruto - Chapter 377
After a week of sadness Naruto is back! Also, we got a color starting page and a poster to make it up! This chapter continues the fight between Jiraya and Pein.
This chapter comes with a dose of good humor, Jiraya and the 2 frogs are hilarious. It seems like Jiraya’s Hermit Mode is strong and so, Pein summons two human bodies to battle. These two "bodies" are dressed in Akatsuki clothes, have piercings, the Rin’negan and orange hair, witch gives them a style very similar to Pein. They don’t seem to be alive, as Pein freely controls them. They make a good combination against Giraya. Although their full range of abilities are still unknown, Pein seems to use one for close taijutsu attacks and the other to absorb Giraya’s chakra attacks defending the other two.
All of Giraya’s attack are ineffective even when he attacks their blind spots. He concludes they must be using the Rin’negan to see through each others eyes.
At this point, I can’t see how Tobi and Pein come together. Tobi is, supposedly, the leader, but Pein talks of bringing destruction to the world, because of the pain he felt and how he matured, etc, like he is the one wanting it and using Akatsuki to that end. That is his and Konan’s personal goal. Why would Tobi want that? He doesn’t even seem to be from the rain village. As for the other remaining Akatsuki members, do they know the true purpose of Pein? They were told a different story when Hidan asked, back in the cave. Why has Tobi kept his leader role hidden from the others? Does he have the mangekyou? I personally think that at least Itachi must have an idea of what’s truly going on, because of his knowledge of the sharingan history. I think he and Kisame may turn away from Akatsuki, or a least, are using Akatsuki for their own personal purposes. There’s also Zetsu who is still shrouded in mystery.
I’m gessing we will uncover a lot of secrets behind the main story line through this arc.
Although this Pein/Jiraya arc has been rather good, I’m more interested on what will happen when and if Team Hebi, the Konoha platoons and Itachi/Kisame meet.
could you post the cover bigger please~!!
thanks!
