I cant even imagine a Rescue Naruto Arc... it would be so Fed Up.. But Nice theories....Okay, time to address a few questions ad a few theories.
1. Kushina Uzamaki is Naruto's mother. Most of the websites have her as 'presumed dead' or simply 'deceased.' I could swear I read it or heard it from the anime that she died during birth. Naruto is often reffered to as an 'orphan' by Sarutobi, if his mother were alive Sartobi would be lying to us.
2. I really don't think that Pein is stupid enough to absorb all of Narutos chakra causing Fat Pein to go froggy or absorbing the Kyuubis chakra thereby burning him. I've already stated that Pein is prbarbly aware of the risks of nature chakra, and the whole ENTIRE GOAL of his organization is to capture the Bijuu. You would think that he of all people would know what the risks of Bijuu chakra are.
3. Both Sai and Yamato are MIA. Know one knows where they are and we haven't seen them since before the fighting in the village took place. Everything else you may have read is heresay and rumor.
4. Anyone with 10 or less posts is not allowed to bitch about the thread getting "off topic." Welcome to NarutoBase. The people who wander momentarily from the core topic are those whose brains have been so saturated with probability and theory they need a distraction. Worry not, the topic shall soon be returned to.
5. J-Man, don't quote yourself. It makes you look like a nooob! =p * slaps a noob sticky on J-Mans forehead. *
6. Okay, lets think about the two scenarios this way, which one opens the manga up? The two scnarios are these: 1. Naruto gets captured. 2. Naruto doesn't get captured.
If Naruto gets captured and there is a Rescue Naruto arc this gives Kishi the opportunity to explore the other charecetcters and show us ther improvements.
If Naruto doesn't get captured then the top priority is going to become rebuilding Konoha. How boring is that? I smell a tme skip withthis theory.
That is all, for now.
I doubt naruto has been caught because rember he still has all of konoha and the frogs there to help him out still
