So Kishi was trolling us

[JesseBlack]

The hell Kishi. I'm not even mad about the whole Naruto is the reincarnation of Ashura. It's just that ever since jiraiya died. The entire story has been basically saying Naruto is the child of the prophecy (The Sage of six Paths). Heck even the tailed beast where like he you remind of the sage. I'm mean literally he got the trust of power of the tailed beast because they said he's the sage, but now he's not the sage anymore. Even the min tails was like you remind me of the sage
, he wasn't like yeah you remind me of Ashura (who would techically be his first jinchuriki,but that might not be be true). Ever since the pain arc every single person in the manga, anime heck even the fandom has been saying oh He's the Sage of six paths. Now maybe in the next chapter it will somehow say that naruto is the sage of six paths too, but we don't know that. What we do know is that the entire story till this chapter has basically been pointing out he's the sage he's the sage oh my god he's the sage, but we are expected to accepect he is Ashura.

I'm not trying to piss any one off 'm just pointing out something I noticed after I read the chapter. Also if somebody made a thread about this I'm sorry I looked through 6 pages of the manga forum and didn't see it so please don't be butthurt

Child of Prophecy=someone who will save the world.

Naruto still is the CoP

 

[Fair Warning]

yeah it was weird how he built up the SO6P allusion to Naruto, and then threw it away in one panel

 

[Sentinel of Light Style]

was it so new to you that Kishi trolls more than even the worst trolls on NB combined?
but it sort of bugged me too, I guess

 

[Sominus]

Naruto was reflected as the second son from begining of the manga... Senju and Uchiha, Naruto and Sasuke - Light and Shadow. This in my opinion is one of the only chapters Kishi didn't troll us with.

Edit: Not to forget Ashura was the son the So6P entrusted everything to.

Sidenote: What did bug me a bit was that the So6P had a brother and that brother got half of the juubi within him too... I mean yeah sure, we've never heared about him and now this.

 

[sasukesworld]

mh seems like someones really mad

but who cares if he's the sage or the younger sons reincarnation

 

[Erebus]

I woke up at 5 am cause i slept early, then when i read the chapter and got to that part all the sleep vanished and i practically fell of my bed in laughter, didn't want to see all the threads that were being made, i'm sure a lot of people must have been extremely rustled, kishi practically trolled maybe 80% of Naruto(series) fans

 

[SIX PATHZ]

it was so clear when the time we knw abt his sons.some has high hopes thats all. kishi is not trolling there

 

[Born sinner]

it was just as clear as day

 

[Flakez]

Naruto is the successor of Hagoromo. The one that will bring peace. So yes, he is the Child of Prophecy.

 

[Ψ Veritas Ψ]

one dissappoint ment after another. Kishi doesnt know what the hell he us doing anymore!

 

[GaaratheFifth]

As others have said, yes, obviously the two sons are a parallel to Naruto and Sasuke.

BUT!

One thing I completely agree with the OP about is that from the start, a MAJOR theme of this manga has been the younger generation surpassing the older generation Naruto>Pein>Jiraya

Nobody living is stronger than ancient Madara and that seems really problematic to some major themes in the manga.

 

[iKaras]

Naruto is the Child of Prophecy who is the reincarnation of Ashura, who is like Hashirama, Nagato, Minato, Obito, Tsunade's brother, Garra who is like etc etc etc. >.>

#Thoseendlessparallels

 

[SasukexNeji]

I just love the way is knocks Naruto down a tier. Sasuke and Naruto are equals. DEAL WIT' IT!

 

[Meowazziel]

Maybe he will upgrade from Ashura to Sage of the six paths?

 

[JesseBlack]

it was just as clear as day

Maybe it was to you but you have to admit that a lot of time was spent portraying naruto as the sage

 

[JesseBlack]

Dude I'm just saying that less that 100 chapter ago we had the whole all the tailed beast believe your the sage of six paths bullshit

Three bolded parts: Misinterpretations. If people here (me included) didn't made theories about this scheme, maybe people wouldn't be so confused about the concrete facts.

- It is never said in the manga that "Child of the Prophecy" means Sage of Six Paths. It is only a child that appeared in the visions of the Elder Toad Sage.

- The tailed beasts didn't said that he reminded them of the sage, they said that he reminded them of the sage's ... (???). Kishimoto purposely left that space in blank so we could create our own conclusions about this, but the hints were out there... Tobi said the most explicit hints. Heck, if you know that the Juubi was divided in Yin and Yang (9 tailed beasts and the gedou mazou) we should have known that they would be able to detect the spirit of the younger son reincarnated in Naruto, they are the Yin of the Juubi after all.

- The tailed beasts never said that Naruto was the Sage.

...so, for the people that feels kind of dissapointed due Kishimoto's writing style: I would ask to be more objective when reading the manga. You are the ones who got confused, not Kishimoto.

Ain't even mad I'm just stating that Kishi had the tailed beast say oh your the sage of six paths and now it's basically like he said f*ck all of that

Dude I don't even give a sh*t about the Naruto Sasuke rivalry I'm jousting saying that even the non tails was like oh he reminds me of the sage on top on the other tailed beast saying your the sage
