itachis gift

[SAKumono26]

In Naruto Chapter 403 Tears, it is revealed that Itachi gave Naruto a gift, a special power to help him in the future. I believe I have discovered the inspiration for that power.

"The Kogarasu Maru or "Little Crow", is a unique Japanese tachi sword rumored to have been created by legendary Japanese smith Amakuni during 8th century CE."

"The Kogarasu Maru is sometimes referred to as a Kogarasu Zukuri as the blade of the Kogarasu Maru was forged in the Kissaki Moro Ha Zukuri design. The Kogarasu Maru is unique as a bridge between the old double-edged Japanese Ken (based on the traditional Chinese straight sword) and the traditional Japanese tachi and eventual katana.

The Kogarasu Maru was designed with a curved double-edged blade approximately 62.8 cm long. One edge of the blade is sharped in normal tachi fashion, but as the edge comes to a point the blade continues in the reverse direction back towards the hilt of the sword, similar to a European sword or a Japanese yari spear, but stopping midway. A single bo-hi style groove runs down both sides of the blade to the hilt. The forging process yielded a sugaha "straight" style temper line on both sides of the blade.

The Kogarasu Maru "Little Crow" is the most famous of the known Kogarasu Zukuri blades and currently in the Japanese Imperial Collection. The tang of the Kogarasu Maru is not signed but the blade is believed to have been made during the either the early Heian period or late Nara period, by the famous Japanese swordsmith Amakuni, who is said to have created the first curved Japanese sword and is believed to have lived during this period. Two other Kogarasu Zukuri blades exist from this era, but many other blades of this type have been created throughout Japanese history."

"There is an ancient legend that attribute this revolution in sword making to Amakuni, traditionally belived to be the maker of Kogarasumaru or ?Little Crow?, the first curved NipponTo, now in the Imperial Household Collection. According to this legend Amakuni was the Emperor?s swordsmith. One day he saw his lord?s army returning from a battle and the Emperor ignored him instead to give the usual cheers for the good work made with the blades. Then he noticed that many soldiers had broken swords. They where chokuto or straight swords. He was so disappointed of this that he avoid to eat food and drink water for a week, studying a better way to make swords. According to the legend Inari, the Kami of swordsmakers, appeared in a dream to Amakuni, teaching him how to wrap a soft steel core in an harder one, and how a curved edge is more suitable to cuts and more resistant to shocks than the previous straight one. The day after Amakuni made Kogarasu Maru, the ancestor of all NihonTo."

"Ama-kuni of Yamato, who lived about A. D. 700, was a celebrated maker. One of his blades is said to have been carried off by a crow during the reign of Kuwammu-Tenno, A. D. 782, and has since been known by the name of the Kogarasu maru * (little crow). In A. D. 940 Taira Sadamori became the possessor of this sword, which was drawn by him in the wars with Masakado, who was until lately deified at Kanda, Yeddo. "

These are the covers for Naruto Chapter 3 and Chapter 185. We see a "Little Crow" just over Naruto's shoulder. Also, this is the only known chapter cover(at least to my knowledge) that has ever been repeated.

Then there's the cover for Naruto Chapter 11, on this chapter cover we see a crow carrying a sword in it's beak and it appears to be presenting it to Naruto.

Notice in the backgrounds of each cover is the full moon, a clear symbol of Itachi. Naruto Chapter 142 Cover, this is a cover of Itachi with the full moon in the bottom lefthand corner. Naruto chapter 145 page 10 and page 11.

Also, one of the sources Itachi get's his name from is the Kamaitachi. The source of the name kamaitachi is kamaetachi, which means "attacking tachi". It was later changed to the name kamaitachi as a naming pun for "sickle weasel", by Toriyama Sekien. It's also of note that the kamaitachi itself is a wind demon. The Kamaitachi also makes an appearance in the Naruto series as one of Temari's summoning techniques.

Well, there you have it. This is what I believe Itachi gave Naruto. Itachi gave Naruto a legendary sword named the Kogarasu Maru. The sword is most likely a chakra blade, which would allow Naruto to use his wind elemental affinity along with it to cut opponents at a distance.

 

[leafeater]

That was certainly very well thought out and great effort. Thanks

My question is if this is his gift, it seems like something he'd want Naruto to use often. He said he hoped Naruto would never need it. Also, this is minor, but did Itachi know Naruto's elemental affinity? I suppose the sword would work with any elemental affinity though. Those are my main concerns.

 

[twistedlink]

Itachi was pretty much the smartest shinobi we have seen in the naruto universe, the only reason he didnt play a bigger part is because he laid down his path as simply an object sasuke must beat, and the fact itachi was severely ill.

Had he not been used as a spy, or had a terminal illness, he would have made most ninja look like kids having a playful scrap.

His intelligence is easily way above shikamarus, shikamaru is retarded compared to itachi.

Which is why itachis gift might be a lot more complex than a jutsu or a weapon-in my personal opinion.

But this does add up nicely.

But doesnt asumas blades conduct elements just like this theoretical sword????

I dont quite see how his element can go any distance, maybe im confused but can someone explain how its any different to asumas blades?

lol i was just bored and well
tired of people thinking it was some jutsu to control the 9 tails
and well its is a fail safe for in case saskue attacks konha
i also think the fail safe is to disperse the black flame saskue would obvously do

YUp finally sumbodys guessd
i can't write this sh it just paasing it along
heheh i am tired

 

[twistedlink]

SAKumono ive told you before, you need to state when you get information from someone else.

Putting in someone elses work and saying its your own is serious, its plagarism, and while its rampant on the internet, dont for a second think its okay, ive known serious cases of plagarism to even have people kicked out of there professional field, never allowed to work certain jobs again.

Dont do it

Its sad and pathetic for one, and its illegal for two.

 

[SAKumono26]

I SIAD IWAS BORED omg iam just passing info along
i never took credit for this i never said i did this did I
ppl just assume
i am sick alright so really don't mess with me or call me pathetic cause u don't know me

That was certainly very well thought out and great effort. Thanks

remove ur thanks iwas jsut contributing i don't wannan take credit for this just passing it along
since twisted link is bitchin

 

[twistedlink]

again, you dont understand the principles behind plagarism.

If you put something onto the internet that is a direct copy, and did not state where it came from, authorities take that as "this is my work"

you dont need to say "i didnt say i took credit"

By copying and pasting youre already taking credit-thats how things work in our world in terms of laws.

I sure hope you dont go into any higher education because you can be prosecuted with what youre doing

Wraith is the sickest person 2 have come up with this thoery

k first of u all u don't friggin no me andi made a mistkae
so get off my ****
and make sum of ur own theories
and stay outo f my way

 

[Mangenkyou Maoh]

...sooo... i know what naruto do with that sword,he will use that to counter sasuke's sword... or maybe fix his weakness!

 

[Zurita210]

Im thinking its not going to be the Sharingan eye to sharingan techniques like some you say it might be. I think it will just be some kind of genjutsu repellent or some kind of special power to let Naruto do certain techniques. Man I hate waiting for things like this, too much suspense too many things on the line. Naruto's secret jutsu, the power Itachi gave to Naruto, etc...

 

[Geezus]

I beleive thats the sword that counters Kusangi...

 

[Mangenkyou Maoh]

sasuke got kasunagi?

 

[Geezus]

wait never mind then i though5t thts what the sword he had name was...Lol

 

[twistedlink]

okay...youre the one getting on my back, youre the one swearing and getting all leary.

Look, you COPIED and PASTED something and DIDNT cite the source, that is ILLEGAL.

If you did that in a workplace, you would be FIRED

If you did it in university, you would be KICKED OFF THE COURSE and NEVER allowed to be in education for 10+ years maybe for life.

You can be fined up to ?300,000 and you can have a prison sentence up to 5 years for plagarising copyrighted material or copying material that is not yours.


And whats with this whole "make your own theory"

How about you make YOUR OWN theory, considering everything you post is copied and pasted from OTHER people.

I do make my own theories.

5 elemental rasengan-my theory
Orochimaru still alive from his real being being white snake-my theory
Madara using nature energy-my theory
Kisame being a sage given hes shark like-my theory

None was copied and was all my own thinking.

Calm down dude, its just a manga

EDIT:Also im not trying to piss you off.

Sakumono, do you realise how pissed off someone can become if you copy them?

Imagine if you will, that you came up with your own theory, and it was great and accepted by many and everyone got excited by it, and then some dude goes along, copies and pastes it over loads of forums and doesnt mention the fact that YOU wrote it.

Youd be pissed off wouldnt you?

CITE YOUR SOURCES

no point in fighting with him... so yea =P

 

[twistedlink]

No, im not the only one who has a problem with it, the ones youre copying might have a problem with it though.

Finding where you got these things from is a 20 second job if you know how to use the internet with sources.

I can simply take every thread you have ever made, and show the originator how youre taking there credit

Lets see how many people have a problem with it after then.

Need i remind you weve had this argument before, and everyone here agreed with me about these threads you make, being copied from other sources, and you cried like a baby then too.

Grow up, as soon as someone criticises you in a GOOD way (im fucking helping you, you can get into severe trouble with what youre doing off the internet in the real world) you get all defensive, youre not going to get along in life if as soon as someone says anything negative to you you flip your lid, you think your god or something? perfect?

Shit happens, you **** up, i **** up, we all **** up, stop hissy fitting like a bitch when you have made a real mistake and cant admit it and start typing random nonsense like always because you miss 90% of the letters on the keyboard.

Again, i will now be contacting all originals and showing them what you have done, should take up around 5 minutes of my time.
