Greatest Compliment in Naruto a Misconception/Mistranslation

[Bad Touch Yakushi]

They are so obviously talking about Jiraiya -.-

1. Why would Kisame and Itachi refer to the 9 Tails as a 'he'? Nobody thought anything more of them than wild animals- it would've been 'it.'

2. Naruto does not pose a threat to either of them at all. Itachi and Kisame literally stroll up to his room and knock on the door, they're hardly wary of Naruto.

3. Why would they change the topic of the conversation so quickly? talkingaboutjiraiyatalkingaboutjiraiyaTHAT9TAILS

4. Greatest 'Hero'? Seriously? Kurama is a hero yeah? To be honest not even Naruto was a 'hero' in part 1. The only hero they could've been talking about is Jiraiya.

I have never seen someone misinterpret a page so badly, you're reading too deep into it.

 

[duken fist]

ninetails is greater than any of them, sometimes mostly



kisame had never seen naruto before but they knew the ninetails was a big NO NO to mess with..
but if you think Itachi would be scared of Jiraiya while he has Kisame as a teamate , your 100% trolling by now
besides Naruto just beat the 1tails Gaara

read the picture u posted carefully" it says, his baby sitter is one of he three great shinobi konoha legend" kurama is not a shinobi! jiraiya is one of the three. kisame has seen naruto, u dont remember when itachi and kisame tried catching naruto( sasuke tried to kill itachi with chidori but failed) then jiraiya came and saved naruto........ and then they had a mini fight

 

[Adebayo]

but it was jiraiya. itachi said " even the greatest heroes have their weakness". kurama wasnt viewed by anyone as heroic, so if it was kurama they were talking about, itachi wouldnt have used the term "heroic". think about it, the only heroic character there is jiraiya, due to his success in the war

 

[Itachi The Solo King]

hmm probably

 

[two fates]

I agree + rep

 

[foxyladyland]

He was clearly talking about Jiraiya. Kisame his "defeated" Naruto by using Samehada. 12 year old NAruto is nothing to worry about.

thats the first time he came into contact with naruto, they said that before they ever met

They were clearly speaking if Jiraiya. Though it was Kishi's fault for having Itachi and Kisame say that. I'm sure Kishi didn't intend for the two Akatsuki members to end up being so strong. A Susano'o with invincible weapons and a tailless tailed beast.

maybe.....but not clearly

HE is the 9tails jinchuriki former pet of Madara Uchiha remember , the beast that tried to destroy the Leaf?...
your second point is good but they arent afraid of a child who doesnt have enough room to summon a 9tailedfox giant without destroying a little room.....Kisame has a chakra eater beyond that to stop Naruto's chakra remember
3rd point, because they were traveling together
he said even the strongest heores was about jiraiya being his legendary babysitter and even the most powerful can lose
not reading too much into it, just reading english pretty well and comprehending it even better

Then if they're so scared of the 9tails why do they just stroll up and knock on the door casually? yet run with Jiraiya enters the room?

They were not thinking things that far through. They weren't even there to start a fight with the 9 Tails or Jiraiya -.- THEY LITERALLY STROLL UP TO THE DOOR THEY ARE NOT SCARED OF HIM I DONT KNOW WHAT PART OF THIS YOU'RE NOT GETTING

3rd point, because they were traveling together

Wait what. So they talk about Jiraiya, talk about Jiraiya, talk about Jiraiya, TALK ABOUT NARUTO?, Talk about Jiraiya. Yeah, that seems likely. Talk about a dysfunctional conversation.

Your literacy is dreadful. I think you're looking for something that's not there.

 

[foxyladyland]

Jiraiya is the babysitter not kurama

You're saying that it's more likely than Naruto is one of the 3 greatest legends of Konoha, and not Jiraiya, one of the 3 sannin? Sure, that makes a **** load of sense.

No, they meant Jiraiya. I believe Kishimoto didn't realize how OP Itachi would eventually become, and initially intended for Jiraiya to be more than he wound up being. Nothing more than power creep. Same thing with 3rd being strongest Homage in history in part 1.

jiraiya is the legend , they found HIM(naruto) with , read better

but it was jiraiya. itachi said " even the greatest heroes have their weakness". kurama wasnt viewed by anyone as heroic, so if it was kurama they were talking about, itachi wouldnt have used the term "heroic". think about it, the only heroic character there is jiraiya, due to his success in the war

itachi was talking about jiraiya then about being a hero (can u people read) before the Hero line they were talking about the 9tails and its jincuriki

Itachi said everyone has a weakness...Naruto's weakness was a knock at the door and a stiff one to the gut as they did to Sasuke. Not too much thinking involved to do that. They were in deep ass thought clearly which would imply they were talking about someone worth making a strategy for. Jiraiya.

 

[Strata Uchiha]

Is that the offcial VIZ translation manga scan?

Itachi wanted to die by Sasuke's hands, and because of Itachi's illness, he didn't want to risk fighting Jiraiya.

Which is why Itachi cast a genjutsu on that girl to seduce Jiraiya...but that didn't work.

There's not point trying to talk sense into him, if he can't read a manga page right what makes you think he can read your post and give you a smart response?

 

[Exaar]

ninetails is greater than any of them, sometimes mostly

almost all of the kyuubi's chakra was Sealed.

It seriously make No sense for An Ms Itachi + Kisame to be scared of a Mere Genin because he has the kyuubi inside him, Than to be scared of one of the legendary sannin, One of the strongest Ninja in the leaf.

Especially when Kisame stood up to naruto in the hall way and dealt with the kyuubi's chakra in one Mere sword swing, and in part two fearlessly went up against a perfect jin, Yet was scared of an Imperfect Genin Jin.

THE ANSWER TO ALL YOUR COMMENTS IS IN THE EDIT OF THE ORIGINAL POST, ITS SIMPLE
THEY WERE TALKING ABOUT NARUTO/ THE NINE TAILS
BUT WHEN THEY SAID "BABYSITTER" IT WAS ALL ABOUT JIRAIYA
THAT IS THE ANSWER IN SIMPLEST TERMS

 

[sandysennin]

no one underestimates Jiraiya, sometimes things get mistranslated thats all....
and they dont get corrected in the anime

What does this even mean?
What i understood was:

People mistranslate to english;
We read the mistranslation;
The japanese anime team use the english translation, which is wrong...

Dude, they don't need to translate... the manga is written in nihon, and they are japanese...

Sorry, but they were talking about J-man.
As many have said, Kishi probably didn't think Itachi was going to be so powerfull.

 

[new sage of 6 paths]

Nah,stop trolling,its jiraiya he's talking about!

alright that comment i made was kinda stupid , but read the post 34

 

[Adebayo]

yes i can read foxylady. if it was kurama, then the "he" term wouldn't ve been used, but rather "it". he is for humans and it for animals, and it doesnt change in naruto, cos the beasts are seen for what they are, BEASTS. then again, if it was naruto/kurama, then the approach used by itachi and kisame to apprehend naruto wont ve been used, i mean, a casual knock on the door to get him, after all dat hype???

 

[foxyladyland]

Nah,stop trolling,its jiraiya he's talking about!

im not trolling new sage lol

im foxylady i know all about foxes, lol, Kurama is indeed a male at least thats what i think

 

[Micho22]

The last part was sure of jiraiya

RESTATING YOUR ORIGINAL POST BUT IN CAPITALS AND ALSO MESSING UP THE QUOTES DOESN'T MAKE YOU MORE RIGHT

You have NO proof about this point and it is just stupidly unlikely to be talking about the 9 tails, a character who has barely been set up at all. There is just so much incorrect it frustrates me.
