Shinobi Masters

[Itachi Uchiha]

Finally your back. Do you know how bored I've been without people to RPB?!?!? Oh well thats for another time. Anyway theres no need to make me the club leader. You created this place so you should be its rightful owner. So don't bother handing this place over to me.

Still you've added something to discuss: Cosplay and the video games. Well this being britain, cosplay is impossible to find! If I wanted any I would have to order it off Ebay or something but I doubt I'd be able to have it. My mum (yes, I am only 15 and still live with my parents) always brings up the thing on import charges and stuff like that. So in the end she puts me off the idea. Still, I want some for my school's fancy dress party next year .

As for the video games, I have seen one in Game in my town centre. Doubt I'd buy that. Its just your normal fighting game but with Naruto. wait...........naruto in a fighting game........could be interesting. I'm just focused on FFXII at the minute.

[Xeim]

Oh ho! Ed...or rather Dw now? is finally on! You've cleared out yor PM box by now I hope.

Heh, I've never much been one for cosplay. I think it's just kinda scary. O.O You never really end up looking like the character you dress as, and the outfits look rather...fake...but who knows. I've never actually tried it.

As for the Naruto games, I've played one of them. It was rather amusing, but the repetitive shouts of "I'm going to be Hokage!" were rather annoying. Playing as "Nine-tailed Naruto' was a blast though. He was very...fast. Let's see..it was Clash of Ninja 2. It's a good way to pass time, but they spell stuff wrong. Like Chuunin and Hyuuga. They take out a "u" from both. And then there's Sasuke. Man do they make him lame. "Feel the power of the Uchiha's!' I mean really...And Anko, was diminished to a shopkeeper....


If you're with a bunch of friends it's pretty cool though, especially if you're Orochimaru. *evil glint*

I am getting the wii version when it comes out though. I mean seriously, who wouldn't want to beat the characters to a bloody pulp as our favorite little "weasel?" *catching drift perhaps?* (Me+Clash of ninja2+Itachi+Wii mote= anyone that happens to be in the room ducking for cover--I get rather hyper when I play wii)

I've heard that there's a couple good ones out there, but so far I've only been able to come across ones that demolish the actual storyline, and are only fun for a few laughs. Like when you beat people with Akamaru.

Anyways...

[Mr. Sandman]

Well, all I have to say is... I've been browsing around the Club area *points at Xeim* and she referred me to the Shinobi Master's Club which... unfortunately hasn't been very lively. To me, when Naruto first appeared on the English version, my first impression was: Ninja & School & Spiky Hair = total kick-arse show.

As I watched for weeks waiting for the new episodes to come out, I stumble upon one of my friends who has known so much about Naruto saying so many things that God-knows what she was talking about. Then while she was talking she said, "Itachi Uchiha." This is where I got interested.

So after talking mindlessly about it with her at school she gives me the site to livevideo.com. I was at first, shocked, but then again she claims to like Sasuke and what not so it really wan't surprising. I mean, there has not been one female (other than adults) who have watched Naruto and say, "I like Sasuke." It's insane, but then again I am too.

So I go to the site right, then start watching the epsiodes and when I got to the end, I craved for more. So now, here I am waiting for the new Naruto 234 episode that comes out (currently on 233). My most favorite technique has to be the infamous Rasengan with all of its glory. I mean seriously, it doesn't look as devastating as Chidori but with the time it takes to master and the fact that it is higher ranked as being an A-Ranked Technique makes up for its looks.

The 4th even had to take 3 years to fully master it while Naruto took mere weeks. I even have come to believe that Yondaime is Naruto's father. Seriosuly, same hair, jutsus, and why else would he seal the Demon Fox's Spirit in Naruto? A coincidence no? Oh, as well as that, I've also come ot the conclusion that the Akatsuki leader is none other than.... *drumroll* Madara Uchiha! Reasons?

Well, the Leader has Sharingan? Correct me if I'm mistaken. If you've ever watched Naruto Shippuden Epsiode 221 which ironically, is the first Shippuden Episode, you can recall that the Kyuubi has mentioned the name of "Uchiha Madara." This upsets Sasuke making him squeeze the Kyuubi's bubble chakra? Well, anyways... back to the Rasengan story.

The sheer force and power of that Rasengan is beyond belief. It has potential to become stronger too. Once you hit somebody with the Rasengan, it grinds them on the inside in a spiraling motion going back and forth. The damage is astounding as we see Kabuto not being able to recover even with his Regeneration Technique. We can also see, (the Wikipedia) having the justsu's of Wind Release Rasengan and Wind Release Spiraling Shuriken.

Those techniques are pure badass. Only able to be used by a wind-chakra element user. Naruto and Asuma are the only one's who I've seen have this elemental chakra. I think Naruto is one of the best anime's I've seen and yet, I give credit to my friend who has told me about this. (Now, I know more about Naruto then she ever does heheh). Other favorite techniques include: Tsukiyomi, Twin Rising Dragon, 8-trigrams Palm or Rotation, Chidori, Lotus, Wind Scythe, Sand Tsunami (something like that), and finally... Garouga (Twin Fang Piercing I think). I also have many more but there's not enough room to post. With that said, I hope you'll let me join.

Well with that post I think your definatly in this club. You seem to know a lot about Naruto much like Xeim which is also a plus. The two theories in your post as well seem to be logical enough and hell, you could be right when we find out the answers at the end of it all. So basicly to round off this paragraph: welcome to shinobi masters.

Now carrying on with video games topic, if there have been basic mistakes (like Xeim pointed out) that would put me off buying them. However, if you could be Uchiha Itachi and use all his jutsu's then I would be interested in that. I say this because from the series we've seen both of Itachi's best jutsu's from when he has his mangekyou sharingan active. These two jutsu's being Tsukuyomi (moon reader or moon god) and Amaterasu (shining heaven or sun goddess). We have seen the effects of Tsukuyomi before as Itachi has used it on various people. Amaterasu, however, has not clearly been seen yet (as for as my knowledge knows). It has only been seen as a black flame left over from its use. Also this does cover my two favorite jutsu's.

[Xeim]

Hah! It's Holocaust! You did join! I was subtley hinting at him to join, and he took the initiative.

Heh, Holocaust was the one who first told me about Naruto, and Darkwolf was the one who finally forced me to watch it. Now I'm glad I did!

There's a book published in the US that has a list of FAQs. It's rather round-a-bout, taking the long way of explaining things rather then getting to the point, but one of the questions was "Who are Naruto's parents?" The answer was eventually "most-likely" Yondaime. So, though nothing's official, I've come to call Yondaime Naruto's dad. It just makes so much sense. It would also be cool seeing that Yondaime was Kakashi's senesei, and then Kakashi becomes Naruto's sensei. As for your other theory, Holocaust, I'm not quite sure. You coul be right seeing that Itachi said that if Sasuke got the Mangekou Sharingun there'd be three people who could use it.

And the video games, I'm not quite sure how many of Itachi's jutsu you'll be able to use in Clash of Ninja, but it'll be awesome. I would love to use Tsukunomi and Amaterasu, though since Amaterasu hasn't been given the spotlight as of yet, there probably won't be a game with it for a while. I'm not really into the games much though, so I don't know much about any of the other ones.

I recently decided that I'll give up trying to not like villains for death probability reasons, and of course.........Itachi flew to the top of my list! Now I just think he's the greatest.

Also, Itachi, if Darkwolf's made you the new leader, how are we going to keep the member's list updated?

[Lady Rika]

Hello all!
My names Rika and im quite the Narutard! lol

But all jokes aside, I would really like to join, I have been into Naruto for two years. And I have finally come to terms that im a crazy Narutard and that it is the most awesome anime ever!

After having an interesting chat with my buddy Xeim about me opening a Naruto related thread in the humor and word games forum she told me about the Naruto club. And I was so excited that I rushed right over to show my love for the series.
Now I usually only watch it on saturdays but I do know alot about the show and facts about the characters themselves. Im just where the Hokage died but like a determined Narutard I just had to watch it on youtube. So I have seen the shippuuden episodes and a few others but as far as the episodes go not as many as some people.

Lets see...we all have favorite characters so I think it'll tell you mine. Put bluntly its Neji. But I have more. In order....Neji, Kankuro, Kakashi, Naruto, and Rock Lee but like I said...Neji is easily my favorite. I have even cosplayed him a few times...but the costume was awesome and I looked pretty good for going as a guy!lol

And to not be rude and interrupt the flow of the conversation, I recently played Naruto Clash of Ninja 4. my friend impoted it from japan and everything, it was amazing they have nearly everyone in the whole show at the time. All of Orichimaru's little followers are in it, and so are the other characters who were overshadowed by the first and second one are in it too!
Well I hope im approved to join!
~Lady Rika~

[Itachi Uchiha]

Well for the members list, I'll create one soon with all the people who have applied to join in here. I just need to see whos applied and been let in. Also I must apologize to you Xiem, I still haven't had time to give you your 10 jounin questions which is a great shame. I'll get them to you ASAP, its finding the time for it thats getting to me. It would be a lot easier if DW was here. I still see him as a joint leader of this place.

Oh and I haven't forgotten about you Lady Rika, your in if you can answer the following question. This reminds me however that I haven't given Holocaust one. So just to make it fair I shall give you both questions, then you can all yourselves Genin's in here. The questions are easy so don't worry/

Holocaust - What elemental jutsu's are the Uchiha's famous for?

Lady Rika - Name one technique that Neji has been able to do that no other branch member of the Hyuuga clan has.

[Mr. Sandman]

Quiz Answer: Famous Elemental Jutsu utilizing the works of fire jutsu. The main one is: Katon: Fire Ball Jutsu (they also have Phoenix Flower and many others though I can't recall, oh yeah, Dragon Flame Jutsu ).

Having Itachi's powers are just pure... EVIL! Knowing me, I'd go over board with them using Tsukiyomi over and over on people I don't like then eventually going blind. Blind because of the overusage on Mangekyo Sharingan. I'd pretty much only use his Amaterasu when... well I can't think of what situation to use unless if it is serious.

I'm also crazy enough to buy an Asian PS2 as well as import the Naruto (Ultimate Ninja) Accel game which features Shippuden characters! Oh, also, I've taken the time to go over my relative's house and play with their son on Naruto Clash of Ninja 2... one thing I've gotta say... I SUCK at it. He keeps using freaking Sasuke's Shishi Rendan (Lion Combo) and Fireball Jutsu! While I'm over there playing as Hinata and Rock Lee getting owned.

Oh yeah, at my school they imported this game called Naruto EX for the Wii that they had for a "mini" fair... and pretty much, I got destroyed. I used Shippuden Tenten, Itachi, and Deidara. (No Shippuden Sasuke T_T) I only won with Tenten cause I got lucky and pulled off this Jutsu creating a metal dragon made out of weapons and killed 'em

I mainly like characters with Unique Skills and original fighting techniques. For say, Sasuke's Lion's Barrage (one of my most favorites), Yondaime's Flying Thunder God Technique (best Jutsu I've seen yet), and Tenten's Twin Rising Dragon and whatever else technique's she has got stored in that scroll of hers. Sakura has also devloped some nice Taijutsu involving chakra. Problems I have are: Short-Term Memory Loss, Infatuations, Inability to refrain from Spoilers, and a chatty mouth when it comes to interesting posts (I might get off topic too so forgive me for that ).

~Tenten~

[Xeim]

It's alright Itachi. Don't worry too much about it. We all have lives, and coming up with 10 Naruto based questions is pretty tough. Epecially since it's the end of the year and we're all getting our backs broken with tests and such. Bleh.

Ok, so....since Holocaust well on his way for spoiling things for non-shippuuden watchers (you know I still love you bro).....perhaps a change of subject is in order?

I actually have a question. (I know weird right?) But, I noticed in the rankings that "special jounin" is lower then "jounin." Why is that? And what exactly IS a special jounin? They aren't ANBU members are they?

[Mr. Sandman]

You know Xeim, I've been wondering about that too, tohugh I could never ask it, for some unkown reason. I think that "Special" (hint hint) Jounins are Pre-Jounins. In other words, they have surpassed the rank of Chuunin, but they are under training. Some of us know that Kakashi was an ANBU before right? This probably means he was a Special Jounin at the age of 12 since he graduated at the age of 13 and became Jounin. (Again with my Spoilers)

Another topic for discussions is, handsigns! Most of us already know that the 12 Handsigns were all based off on the Chinese Zodiacs. Tiger, Horse, Rabbit, Ox, Dragon, Snake, Monkey, Dog, Sheep, Rat, Boar, and Bird (originally Rooster). I mean imagine it, doing the handsigns, it owuld sound corny saying, "Tiger, Horse, Snake, Rooster!" I would pretty much laugh at the thought, depending how they said rooster.

I've also memorized by heart all of the handsigns but I'm having trouble executing the Dragon and Bird signs consecutively. I've even learned a couple of jutsus. I know how to use Fireball Jutsu, Chidori, Dragon Flame Jutsu, Phoenix Flower Jutsu, Striking Shadow Snakes, Re-Animation, Death God Seal, Toad Mouth Trap, Shadow Clone, Water Dragon Missle, Hidden Mist, Fang Pursuit, and Toad Summoning. Well of course, nothing fancy happens when executed but its nice to know how to use their handsigns

[Xeim]

Yeah, I think the jounin/special jounin subject would be an interesting one for research. I mean, if special jounins WERE in fact ANBU members and they rank lower than jounin joinins, then why are THEY protecting the Hokage instead of regular jounin? But they've never actually refered to ANYONE in the show as a special jounin. However, it does look like they're ANBU seeing that they show Kakashi as an ANBU member in a FLASHBACK in the first movie. It's kind of weird that lower ranked ninja would be given harder missions though.

Ah, handsigns....I must admit that I love them. I've never really researched them much, and learned how to "summon nin-dogs" quite by accident. I can't quite remember the names of all the handsigns, but know that serpent and dragon are in there somewhere. I've actually gotten pretty fast with it, faster then young Sasuke when he shows his Daddy the Katon jutsu. However, I prefer not to bite my hand and rub it on paper, so I leave that part out.

It's pretty cool that you know so many. I'd like to at least read up on them and find out what symbol looks like what. Dragon I remember looks rather funny, and makes your hands feel all squishy. And, if I'm not mistaken, one sign actually requires you to stick your middle finger out...

[Lady Rika]

Quiz answer: If I am correct it should be Eight Trigrams Empty Palm technique...I think thats right.
Sorry it took me so long to respond to anything, these damn finals are killing me.

But about the hand signs, yeah I know a couple of them, I think its Shadow Clone and the water Dragon one used by Zabuza. The only bad thing is I do it incrediably slow, me and my friend were just being so silly that day and were were 'attacking' each other with random pillows and of course Naruto handsigns. I can never win...though my Jutsu would outdo hers I am just too slow to actually be able to do it as a real ninja. sigh...^_^

You know there have been alot of rumors floating around about earlier episodes and things happening. They could be rumors or maybe their facts.
Basiclly my friend on another site was telling me that Tsunade steps down from Hokage saying that she is just too old...then Kakashi of all people becomes Hokage. And the worst possible thing happens, he gets, in my friends terms...wacked.
Kabuto supposably kills him, then Naruto takes revenge and kills Kabuto and then he becomes Hokage. Well I thought this was the craziest thing I have ever heard/read...so I figured i'd come disscuss it here.
So is it true, does that happen. Because I rarely go above the episodes on Saturday, except for a few occasions...and the hurrican cronicles of course I have to watch them! Hee hee
But I would rather Kakashi not die, so if anyone knows anything, please tell me!
