[Predictions] Naruto Manga 438 Predictions / 437 Discussion

[inoshikacho]

he killed jiraya and kakashi,and most of the frogs destroyed Konoha and just when you think he cant do anything else he stabs Hinata

miricle that Ino has survived if she dies is reli wil hate you kishi, the last 20 chapters have been so breathtaking, its had our buts glued to our seats and eyes locked on computer, we stillhave danzu and root coming.

and yeah i think hinata died so now naruto can focas and sakura lol. but the whole hinata thing this chapter was gr8 i loved it, wud have been nice if she had dun some kind of damamge to him or something

HOW MUCH CHAKRA DOES PAIN HAVE LEFT!!!

 

[acer12]

Still cant beleive hinata told him what she felt for him i hope she isnt dead. maybe might guy and the other wil go in and take her to safety

 

[heart2kill]

hinata is definatly not dead everyone... naruto will acknowledge her soon after the fight with pein. the next guy i think will die is Sai sensei. if he die then rock lee will have a chance to grow

 

[nunez]

Hey people I'm new in this but my opinion is that naruto and pain will have a big fight cuz pain is not stupid he knew that he was gonna deal with kyubii the strongest bijuu.
2. I think pain stabs hinata to see naruto kyubii form that way it could be easy to get naruto.
3. If naruto survives this battle i think he will meet the 8-tails dude that way killer bee (8 tail-dude) will teach naruto how to control his bijuu...

As i say i'm new in this thanks for listening me... Cheer up hinata fans she won't die believe me.. ^.^

Like i said it's only my opinion

 

[Naruto1217]

Hello peoples; its been a while since I've been on this thread; Since I've been gone, Naruto Defeat 6 pains (1 of them he had to kill twice), we've seen Nagato's real body, Konoha has sort of figured out where he is, and to cap it all off, Hinata gets killed while trying to protect Naruto from Pain and now Naruto is a 6-tailed Kyuubi. :naruto:

Now, all I've been hearing for the past 18 hours is that Hinata can't be dead (or at least 90% of what I've heard), and I have to say that it's pretty likely that she is; Now don't get me wrong, I like Hinata, but here's why I think she's dead.

1) Hinata hasn't been that important of a character since the beginning of part two; Hell we dont even see her until the middle of the second arc of the timeskip, and even then it's only for 2 seconds to see her faint, after that we dont see her for oh I dont know about another 50 - 60 Manga; Sai is a bigger character than her and that's sayin something.

2) Hinata is unconscious after she gets blasted by, so there's no way she could have controlled her chakra to shield herself from Pains stabbing; and remember when Neji was stabbed he was moving so it would have been harder to hit his vital organs to kill him; Do you really think Pain, a merciless killer is goin to miss hitting an Unconscious Hinata's vital organs? :hypertobi:

3) Pain said shortly after stabbing unconscious Hinata that "This is just like how my parents were killed by Konoha ninja right before my eyes"; now why would he say that; before Hinata stepped in he was gonna take Naruto away easily so it wasn't to unleash the Kyuubi; It was Kishi's way of showing us that Hinata was in fact dead.

4) Do you think ANYONE is crazy enough to get in the middle of a Fight between a 6-tailed Naruto, and Pain to save Hinata? HELL NO!

Now people keep on asking,"Why didn't Sakura help Naruto?" and I keep hearing the same answers like, "Sakura still loves Sasuke!" and other Question like, "Why would Kishi kill off Hinata when he loves her?" here are my answers to these questions. :sasuke:

1) If you think Sakura is still in love with Sasuke, then you are still reading the first part of the manga; the second part of the manga starts off with NaruSaku moments, Remember when Naurto talks about him and Gaara being the same on the way to Suna? or How bout when the Chyio talks about what happens to Jinchuuriki's if their Bijuu is taken out? Or what what about when Sakura is hold her breath in the cloud of gas against Sasori? and Dont get me STARTED on the second arc; even in the third arc when Naruto is training; does anyone remember the Shooting star seen? or How bout when she's about to feed him? HMMMm? :sakura:

2) Another thing I cant stand is that Sakura becomes a ***** just because he decides to fall in love with Naruto after she Sasuke leaves, COME ON PEOPLE! Haven't you broken up with somebody and then started a relationship with someone else about a month or so later? Does that make you a ***** now? NO! its LIFE. :naruto:

3) Sakura doesn't know what the hell's goin on in the battle (Hinata has the Byakugan, Sakura doesnt); She's also been healing a Hell of a lot of People even before Naruto came into the battle so she must be HELLA DRAINED from her chakra; And She still has to tend to Tsunade, who is in her old shriveled up stage; Or did you all forget that she let go of all that chakra in her forehead? Sakura is using the last of her chakra to save the Hokage. She wouldn't have any strength to help Naruto against Pain, and she would end up just like Hinata, DEAD. :naruto:

4) Where is it written in the manga that Naruto says that he Loves Hinata? He may Care for Hinata but he doesn't love her; and just because Hinata loves Naruto, doesn't mean that Naruto has to love her back.

Predictions for the next manga are pretty simple, Naruto and Pain are going to fight and Pain is probably goin to get his Ass kicked; Shikamaru's dad and the rest of the Shinobi are goin to find Nagato which will force him to retreat. :kakashi:

Sorry for the long message, I just had to get a lot of my chest. :headband:

 

[Piedequeso]

Dude man it suck for hinata.

Man i love naruto going kyubi form, but somehow it doesnt seems right because it looks like that's what Pain wants. And at the end where pains is asking that if he hates him and that this is the way people will understand each other. Pain is completely using Naruto in someway, i just hope that naruto can control the kyubbi somehow. It's like Pain wants Naruto to go through the same darkpath as he did. I just hope naruto doesn't completely falls into Pain's mind games and resolve this situation.

Well put, and while I agree that Naruto doesn't love hinata at least now, he also cares for her and you could see it in his eyes that he was not only shocked, but touched that she said that. This is what elicited such a strong emotional response from him as he cried out in fear essentially begging pain not to stab

I really do hope she lives, i think her character has a lot of room for development, but if I'd have to choose I'd still prefer Kakashi to be the one who survives the near death experience.

Agreed man; I really think Kakashi could live because is death is just a drain of his chakra, but now I'm starting to have second thoughts about him, so he really could be dead; and I just cant see how Hinata could survive;they both are probably dead but Kakashi has a better chance. :headband:

 

[Caith]

1st of all...every1 just stop saying "oh it's so sad that hinata died" god wat a bunch of babies...get over it, she's not coming back. 2nd of all every1 is saying how pein is going to get his butt kicked by 6 tailed naruto....NO he is not lol...y? because when naruto fought orochimaru in his 4th tail stage, he did some damage but did he kill orochimaru? NO and do u guyz knw y? because he was messing wit naruto...if it wasn't for yamato stopping the fight, it would have gone for longer. In other words naruto 6 tail form or other forms is not going 2 beat pein....MIGHT doesnt alwayz beat BRAINS, the pen is mightier then the sword. Pein seems confident into fighting naruto because he probable has a plan on how 2 counter him, so there.

You are a bit wrong here , Orochimaru was playing with Naruto but it got very sierious in the end and I don't remember who said it or where in the manga but it was stated that Orochimaru was pushed to his " LIMIT " meaning if Naruto had been allowed to continue Oro would be dead assuming he didn't try and run away heh. Also Hinata is a great character in the manga and I could definatly see her develop more , specialy even more then Ten Ten whom has some potential but for some reason I just don't care for her much.

While I agree with you on Sakura, but I disagree that Hinata isn't an important character... she may not get as much " screen / manga " time but she is important b/c she started out with Naruto and grew with him and has even helped Naruto grow like when she was still willing to fight Neji even though she was seriously hurt. Naruto envisioned Lee willing to continue and Hinata as well. She doesn't have to many serious rolls but I believe that if she survives you can bet she will have some serious involvement in the manga to come specifically with Naruto. She also has alot of potential to be more then just cannon fodder anyways and by her surviving she'll make things more interesting as I stated before on this thread in so many more ways then if she dies.

 

[arxeza]

Lets take a step back and look at what has happened here. Hinata is supposedly dead, do we realize what this is? how unprecedented this event is and it's possible implications for the rest of the manga if she is truly dead? One of the Konoha 11 has been killed off, knowing how the manga is so clearly focused on the generational gap and the young ninja's eventual supercedence of the old generation, it was implied that young ninja's (especially the Konoha 11 for that matter) wouldn't.... couldn't be killed off.

Sure enough it's a fair solution to the NarutoxHinataxSakura love triangle to an extent, and some might also argue that Hinata's character (in the manga) was the only unique aspect to her (because Neji is also a Byakugan user) which makes her more expendable than other characters who bring dirrerent things to the table. But really what this means is that things open up big time in terms of which characters can be killed off. Kakashi (presuming he's dead but really something is off there) is one thing, but Hinata is a totally different type of character in terms of her role in the overall story. Killing her character off will shake things up big time, and Im hoping Neji, Shino or Kiba has something to say about it too.

But do you guys think that this means other characters from the main cast could be killed off too? I mean Hinata's role was for the most part minimal until now, but I can think of characters that havent really had an impact so far (Tenten and Sai Im looking at you two :tenten: )

As for the 6 tails, yeah I think the fighting is about to go another level now, but still I think Pain will be able to handle Naruto for some reason or another. Honestly if Sasuke showed up AFTER the fighting had taken place I'd be okay with that at this point, but if it had happened earlier that wouldnt have served any real purpose. After all Im thinking If Itachi's magic spell doesnt have something to do with catching Pain off guard (knowing in truth he was against Akatsuki and probably didnt want Naruto to be captured by Pain, as well as fighting Sasuke) or subduing the Nine Tails (cause who the **** is there to do it now really, Ive seen neither hide nor hair of Yamato, and even so we're on a whole new level now ) I think its time we adress that Sasuke might be the one who has the job of subduing Naruto, assuming Pain doesnt do it first. :naruto::sasuke:

:teampein:

On another note, has it been established that the frog that deleivered the prophecy to Jiraiya is actually dead, cause if it is I missed it, personally if Naruto has any hope of growing stronger it's either gonna be him or his fellow Jinchiruki that trains him now, but hey im open for nything Kishi throws at us at this pont.

You'll be missed Hinata, let me know what you think.

 

[Roclee]

I don't think Sakura and Naruto relationship can happen because that will piss Sasuke off. I mean, how would you feel when someone take away your girlfriend/boyfriend. Sasuke doesn't have much connection to Konoha except for Sakura and Naruto. Plus, Naruto knows that Sakura loves Sasuke, Naruto is not that stupid to not realize that. Remember, Naruto still needs Sasuke to defeat Madara in the final battle. So, If Hinata dies, then Naruto will be all alone. Sorry to ruin the NarutoSakura fans but it's not happening because Sakura is too abusive to Naruto also. And it's not only Naruto but RockLee or other guys had a crush on Sakura at in school. It's like in real life, we all have a crush on the most good looking girl/boy but it not love. A crush is not true love until someone confess the love and both sides agree. Before Sasuke left the village, Sakura confessed her love for him and he said thank you which means he loves her too.

According to Kishimoto's review, he created Naruto's character as someone we could relate to. But it's hard to relate to someone who just have a new love/cofession created and killed. That is just too messed up if Kishimoto does this to us.

Next chapter, the first page after the cover page, we will get to see if Hinata gets saved or not. I am sad but excited at the same time. If Hinata dies, I'll stop reading the manga and just watch the anime. Hey, but I doubt that Naruto/fox will destroy the village because then what's left to fight for. So, I predict someone will calm Naruto down.

 

[Dragonskull]

well i think hinata is dead but i still "hope" she is not. and about the pain/naruto fight i'm kinda sure that naruto will win because at the previous mange we see the real pain "nagato" and he is running out of chakra and konoha ninja's know where to look now so he will retreat but the think i was accualy thinking about is that naruto has now 6tail how the hell are they going to stop him ? if pain doesnt, well i'm not sure but i still think naruto will manage the kyubi with the sage power because if you still remember naruto has 1clone left in the other world and yeah i know he couldnt use both power same time or something like that when he was training but he is "#1 suprising ninja" so or maybe hinata's living body might stop him and make him go back to normal ?

I was also starting to wonder if it would be sasuke who has to stop naruto's rampage, unless of course god realm really is all that and is able to K.O. 6 tailed kyubbi, but i doubt it.

As much as i dislike ten ten, and am ambivalent towards sai, i think they are both ripe for development, although I see Sai becoming more important once danzo does his thing.

Personally though because Neji was shown in the manga as being very close to Konoha, i'm guessing he or one of team guy will save either Hinata's corpse or her barely alive unconscious body before the 6 tails fight gets so out of hand that she'd be destroyed for sure just by being close to the fighting.

You have a very immature sense of love my friend. And I strongly disagree with Sasuke's "thank you" comment meaning he loved her back.

Sakura was the one with the immature crush on the good looking popular guy in school, but she's since grown up a bit. There are tons of hints being dropped that Sakura is developing feelings for naruto, look at the scene after naruto returns to normal after his fight with Orochi and Yamato and Sakura are talking. There are tons more examples but that was a pretty prevalent one.

Hinata may have had a crush on Naruto but its been consistent and based on her admiration of who naruto is and what He inspires in her. She obviously felt it so strongly that she was willing to do anything, including giving up her life, for him. THAT, is what real love is.

I can understand where you are coming from, but it's a fact that since the second part of the manga has started, she hasnt had much development and therefore, has become a less important character than Sai, who was introduced much later; its more like she was important in the beginning but she's not that important anymore. :naruto:

It was much more of a shocker to me that J-man and Kakashi, people who are much more important to the storyline died than Hinata.

Lets take a step back and look at what has happened here. Hinata is supposedly dead, do we realize what this is? how unprecedented this event is and it's possible implications for the rest of the manga if she is truly dead?

Making it so that everyone isn't untouchable is what makes this manga so good; In other mangas like DBZ, if they died it didnt mean that they were dead, you just thought "they'll just be brought back by the dragonballs"; in this manga, when you die there's no coming back; Again did I want to see Hinata die, no; but I can see why Kishi did it. :naruto:

And the fact that it means that no one is safe, it gives us (the readers and reviewers of this manga) a reality check. :headband:

Lets take a step back and look at what has happened here. Hinata is supposedly dead, do we realize what this is? how unprecedented this event is and it's possible implications for the rest of the manga if she is truly dead? One of the Konoha 11 has been killed off, knowing how the manga is so clearly focused on the generational gap and the young ninja's eventual supercedence of the old generation, it was implied that young ninja's (especially the Konoha 11 for that matter) wouldn't.... couldn't be killed off.

Sure enough it's a fair solution to the NarutoxHinataxSakura love triangle to an extent, and some might also argue that Hinata's character (in the manga) was the only unique aspect to her (because Neji is also a Byakugan user) which makes her more expendable than other characters who bring dirrerent things to the table. But really what this means is that things open up big time in terms of which characters can be killed off. Kakashi (presuming he's dead but really something is off there) is one thing, but Hinata is a totally different type of character in terms of her role in the overall story. Killing her character off will shake things up big time, and Im hoping Neji, Shino or Kiba has something to say about it too.

But do you guys think that this means other characters from the main cast could be killed off too? I mean Hinata's role was for the most part minimal until now, but I can think of characters that havent really had an impact so far (Tenten and Sai Im looking at you two :tenten: )

As for the 6 tails, yeah I think the fighting is about to go another level now, but still I think Pain will be able to handle Naruto for some reason or another. Honestly if Sasuke showed up AFTER the fighting had taken place I'd be okay with that at this point, but if it had happened earlier that wouldnt have served any real purpose. After all Im thinking If Itachi's magic spell doesnt have something to do with catching Pain off guard (knowing in truth he was against Akatsuki and probably didnt want Naruto to be captured by Pain, as well as fighting Sasuke) or subduing the Nine Tails (cause who the **** is there to do it now really, Ive seen neither hide nor hair of Yamato, and even so we're on a whole new level now ) I think its time we adress that Sasuke might be the one who has the job of subduing Naruto, assuming Pain doesnt do it first. :naruto::sasuke:

Good point about the 11... the prophecy toad is still alive,but is about as old as yoda

Next chapter:

Either Naruto controls the fox or the village will be gone and more lives will be lost including the Hokage mountain. I know, a lot of people say Naruto will pawn Pain but it's not going to happen because fighting Pain will destroy the village.

Ways to calm Naruto down:

1. Yamato restrain fox.
2. The clone in frog mountain will be released. There was another clone that wasn't accounted for, right? That clone could have be in hiding and gathering chakra right now. Once the clone is release, one of two things could happen. a. Naruto controls the fox. b. the fox's chakra gets expelled and Naruto back in Sage mode.

3. Someone tells Naruto to stop the madness. It could be anyone close to Naruto.

4. Naruto has to stop or becomes a monster going into 9 tails and kill and kill and kill. That's not going to happen.

Sorry, but Naruto isn't pawning Pain anytime soon.

Correct me if i'm wrong this, but when naruto was in 4tail mode against oro he didn't move around he just stayed in the same spot. Was that because he had the chakra arms do all the work or was it because his body was to heavy to move cause of all that dense chakra?

sorry but im not sure what you mean by the konoha 11. Are you talking about all the young shinobis together? and the prophecy toad? hm...i dont recall hearing that but i might not remember it.
