[-Haku Yuki-]

its sad what happened in japan this chapter is titled asumas team together again but we only see them for one page the rest is mifune vs hanzou it should be titled hanzou vs mifune other then that good chapter lets be good and wait a month for the chapter we we have to remember over 500 people have died in japan i'd give them a year

[-Haku Yuki-]

back from the dead i see? LOL whats up jabz, i havent been on here for a while and i havent seen you online for a while either.

ten-ten will definetly be a great help during this war, and im really wondering who has the banana fan.... my biggest hopes are :

1.see sasuke EMS
2.see naruto's progress with this attack he is working on
3.see kakuzu fall back from the battle field and get hidan back in fighting condition ( i really hope for him to return, whats the point of being immortal to be defeated once and not come back.... his revenge on shikamaru may never happen so whats the harm, not to say it wouldnt be a good twist to see hidan actually kill shikamaru.)
4.see kakashi's rampage
5.gaara vs the kages
6.mifune finishing off hanzo and the other edo tensei that was attacking kankuro's group
7. and finally sasuke and naruto have a minor scrap on the battle field, both clashing like a dead serious fight... ending in a tie and they both realise that they need to perfect their new abilities more than what they are at... and then madara and kabuto use nagato and itachi to kill a few kages and then get pulled back from the battle field, maybe have itachi freed by sasuke talking with him and hopefully converting sasuke back to good...


LOL those are my biggest hopes in order of how i want to see plus in decisive order of how badly i want to see it happen.

what do you think jabz?

i have a feeling we wont see kakashis rampage kish might not show it but they might make it a ep filler show us but i hope we get to see it in the manga

[Rambo200]

Yeah, maybe the above one is rgiht

[VeVe]

YES! on page 18 he does
also on p 18 he has no hat but on 19 he has his hat again? am i missing something?

Hi, he has no hat on page 18 because it's the first fight between them two
It's like the memory of their first fight, and you can comprove it by what Hanzou says in page 19. Got it? lol

Don't underestimate Mifune!!

[kakashi338]

Disappointing!!

[jabznaruto]

i have a feeling we wont see kakashis rampage kish might not show it but they might make it a ep filler show us but i hope we get to see it in the manga

howdy 6th hokage!

i hope you dont mean this...kishi will let us see kakashi's rampage dude...there aren't be worthy ep fillers re this war...in my opinion.

so...kakashi's rampage will cloud the Japan force majeure or cas fotuit ...kakashi will let us forget the disaster for even a bit of moment...

but...Japan will rebound dude...cash on it. HAI?!!!

we japanese are strong in spirit...don't worry about the nukes...meltdowns...
we have friends like you to help....
we will rebuild them for the greater cause...

arigato! arigato!

[a thousand years of death]

i thought it was a good chapter.
hanzo may be a strong ninja but without his ninjutsu he is not anywhere near the level of mifune in taijutsu. just what you would expect from a samurai

also all these haters of it saying "QQ hanzo is weak QQ i dont want him to be weak i want him to be epic QQ"
well lets have a look at it this way.
99% of a ninjas strength is in their jutsu (tai-gen or nin)
if you take away their jutsu they have become weak

now hanzo is not weak, he was unable to use his jutsu. even when he didnt use his jutsu.
as we heard from asuma along time ago, "if two ninja of the same level fought with sharpened weapons the one with the sharper tool will win"
now if you read that last page

"people are like swords
"bluntness will not last
"your attack doesnt have the sharpness it used to!"

mifune is refering to hanzo not the weapon. to put another way
"you have lost faith in yourself therefore your attack is not as strong nor precise as it was"

"you who completely focused on your own protection are trash. there was a time when i respected you. but now, you've changed
"and now you cant figure out why you've lost to me..."

pein has also seen it, hanzo was far from the man he used to be because he had lost faith in his goal and indeed himself.
he sold himself and his country to protect himself because of that and THAT was his downfall.

"is he saying there is something im not seeing!?"

he didnt notice this which again was his downfall. the two equals clashed head to head, one of the strongest shinobi vs one of the strongest samurai. and the sharpest one won. the sharpness of their "weapons" was measured in faith

this is hanzo telling everyone he had lost his faith and became nothing, yet he himself didnt truly understand the words he said and the power they had.

anyway that is my opinion.
also i think chiyo was refering to battling the poison that hanzo uses rather than actually fighting hanzo himself.
i mean she is a medical ninja is she not.


good chapter and i wish everyone who suffered in this massive natural disaster a speedy recovery in everything. spiritual, physical and financial.

[Tato]

Maybe the bandages on Mifunes head were due to the blow Hanzo landed on him from the first fight. A wound Mifune never fully recovered from... yeah Hanzo is badass no matter the outcome of this fight...

[KyubiBoy]

Guys do u think will be new Manga next week buz whats >> happened in japan >> u know :S .. ?!!!

[ImSoYSG]

Lets 4get about this weeks manga for a while... ummm WTF DID ITACHI GIVE NARUTO!!!????

[Sennin Jinchuuriki]

Lets 4get about this weeks manga for a while... ummm WTF DID ITACHI GIVE NARUTO!!!????

Good change of topic but it is also one of the never ending topics.

[Astral]

According to law of Naruto everyone, Hanzou > 3 sannin @ young age.
Jiraiya > hanzou, while they both were expirienced as they could get until they each fought pain. That being said because Jiraiya managed to kill a body of pain. While hanzou didn't come close. Mifune > hanzou.
Revealing that Mifune ≥ to jiraiya. Plausibe indeed. They are all of the same rank, skill builds prove advantageous. Kishi mentioned, Iaitsu, which i looked up, is being the master of "mental presence and immediate reaction." So his judgement is flawless. That indicates his speed may not even be on par with raikage's, but yet a better user of the speed.

Great, great way of putting things.

Chapter 532
Mifune Vs Hanzou, Final Round.

Mifune : You don't remember me, all right. But it seems you don't even remember our past fight.

Past

Mifune's sword is destroyed.
Hanzou slash him and Mifune bleed from his head.

Hanzou : This is the poison of the Salamander. Of course, my weapon is poisoned too.
Mifune : Ugh
Hanzou : I'll tell you why people call me "Hanzou of the Salamander". As a souvenir you will take with you to hell.
In my village there is a black salamander that can create mortal toxical poison.

Mifune : !?

Hanzou : I was a child When it died. I embedded his poison bag. It's right here. ( Left side of his stomach ) so I can be immune to his poison.
And I can poison my surrounding just by breathing.

As I child I was scared so I stopped breathing with my mouth to prevent poisoning my surrounding.

Mifune : So why didn't you remove your mask ?

Hanzou : Because there is a risk. My mask is there to prevent me from breathing my own poison.
Mifune : ?

Hanzou : Think about it, if someone slash my inner poison bag, the poison would exit my body and there is a possibility that I would breath it.
If I breath all the poison, it would override my poison resistance and I would be render unable to move, creathig an opening.
And I can't allow this to happen. So I can fight people like you.

Mifune : People and swords are alike. But now it's ... over for me. Profound Sadness !

Hanzou : Let me tell you something. Do you know when people die ?
Mifune : ?

Hanzou : When they lose their beliefs.

That's why you were a pain. People judge from outward apparence. You may be defeated but
that's not because you were too soft.

That's because you were afraid of my name. Because you swore to prtect your friends. Thoses friends you used as shields.

Mifune : *panting*

Hanzou : Now, hero, I will name you. Tell me when you die, Tell me your NAME !

Mifune : *breathing heavily*

Hanzou : Let me hear it !

Mifune : Don't ever lay a hand on my samurai comrades.

Hanzou : Here's a counter poison medecine.

Mifune : ?

Hanzou : They say you can't judge one's belief by looking at people. I realized during battle.
It's been a long time I saw someone like you. Today, I let you live. It's not like you were going to die immediatly after, though.

Hanzou uses counter poison medecine on Mifune.

Hanzou : From on now, will you die with your beliefs ? Or will you throw them and live ?

Back to present.
Mifune : I wanted to make sure but ... did you really threw you beliefs ?
Hanzou : You can't judge that by looking at me.
Mifune : !

Hanzou : I'm immortal all right, but there is a way to stop me. I already explained it to you Mifune.
Use the opening to seal me. If you don't do it, you will ...

Samurai : Master Mifune ! The poison is ...

Mifune : I'm ok. I have resistance against this poison. But from on now it will be different.
Everyone back off, with me. Prepare the seal.

Hanzou prepare to use his blade.

Mifune : Look around you.

Hanzou : Mifune, I entrust my beliefs to you. ( Hanzou stabs himself with his blade ).

Samurai : Seppuku ?

Hanzou : This poison is the real deal.
You can't breath this even if your have resistance against it, be careful.

Kabuto : My order fuuda tag is faiding. Suicide ? Then I just have to control all their moves myself one by one.

Hanzou shivers and crumbles.


Mifune : So you didn't threw you beliefs after all.


Multiple ninjas performs a seal on Hanzou.

Kabuto : What the ? The tag stopped working.

Mifune : "Hero" was the name you gave me. I was able to see your beliefs with my own eyes. Well done, Hanzou-dono.

Shikamaru : Stop being a slowpoke, Chouji. Pull yourself together.
Ino : He's coming !
Asuma : Shikamaru ! Use Shadow Mimic on Chouji to capture me !
Shikamaru : That's what I'm planning. ( Kage Mane no Jutsu ! )

Shikamaru manage to capture Asuma by using Chouji's shadow.

Shikamaru : Now, Chouji !

Asuma : (Perfect !)

Chouji uses Partial Multi-Expansion Jutsu on his hand and goes for Asuma's head but stops his gigantic
fist just before hitting Asuma's face.

Asuma : What the HELL are you doing Chouji ?

Shikamaru : Chouji ! Come on !

Ino : Chouji ...

Chouji : I can't. I just can't. I'm unable to knock down and hit Asuma. I can't do that.

Asuma : Chouji ! ( Asuma roundhouse kick and blow off chouji )

Asuma : DODGE ! Fuuton : Fuujin no Jutsu ( Wind Style : Dust Blast Technique )

Over !

[jhayproject]

a bit disappointed about how the hanzo and mifune fight but still im satisfied with this chapter... as long as i enjoyed reading it, that is still pretty much ok...

[Sennin Jinchuuriki]

The problem with the last couple of chapters is that all of them were ok but not great.

[zapp42823]

im thinking guy sensei & kakashi sensei will do some jutsu combination,,, what will be outcome of it huh? a pure chakra of guy combine with ninjutsu of kakashi to boost the power of that jutsu!!!!... oooh men im dreaming again... i just miss guy and kakashi thats all...

[Pein of the Rain]

i like this chapter

[Mystikk******]

Yea.. I wanna see gaara an tsuhikage.. because I know the old man will die.. but not without a fight.

Kakashi & gai.. major overkill.. gai will unlease gates again.. and kakashi will follow up with perfect swordsmanship because of sharingan.. and he will warp anyone if he has too!! That battle will be so epic when we get back to it lmao.

[TheSageKyuubi]

By the way the last chapter ended I think we saw the end of Hanzou.

Hanzou is edo so he will regen, i just dont know if it will be in the next chapter or if Mifune some how got through to his heart and released his soul

[Sennin Jinchuuriki]

Hanzou is edo so he will regen, i just dont know if it will be in the next chapter or if Mifune some how got through to his heart and released his soul

Ya it should be cleared in the next chapter.
