This is a branch off from this thread:
That thread quickly got off topic and misidentified the ninja who's face was not shown.

In the current chapter, Ch. 645, when Sasuke is thinking about Naruto's powers, there is a ninja who's right leg and arm are shown. (bottom right panel).

Because there are words on that panel that seem to complete Sasuke's line of thought, it may first appear that it is Sasuke. However that is not Sasuke, which the previously mentioned thread believed it was and made an argument as to why it didn't show his face. The clothes do not match up to Sasuke. That image shows a shinobi with black sleeves and black pants, Sasuke is not wearing any sleeves, his arms are bare. first panel and second panel from the top on the right show Sasuke on the battlefield with no sleeves.

When I first saw it I actually thought it might be Shikamaru because it seems like the unidentified ninja is wearing a vest, but the panel in question does seem to show a rope like what Sasuke wears in the very bottom right corner. The only other person I know that wears that rope is Orochimaru and he wears black pants and black sleeves. top panel on the right. But the shirt/vest does not match up to the shirt that Orochimaru is wearing.

I also considered Kakashi, but Kakashi has a white wrap around his right leg and that is not shown. (bottom left panel).

The clenched fist shows that this person is enraged/passionate about something. The words with that panel could be Sasuke's thoughs over someone else's picture, but I believe it could actually be meant towards Obito. Somebody new on the battlefield, like a kage, who wonders how things got this far. But the kages don't know who obito is.

So at the end I've been able to identify who that unidentified ninja is not, but not who it is. Any thoughts?

I beleive it is Sasuke.



The image you provided looks as if his arm sleeves weren't colored. You can still see the lines for them though.

Sasuke is wearing black pants and a black wrist cover, that is Sasuke. You can see the rope he wears, and the wrist cover is what you're mistaking for a sleeve.

Those are all good points, I could be mistaken...hard to let an idea go once you have it.

It's down to this week's poor drawing.

It is Sasuke, but I was in doubt as well. I thought it was someone else at first,
but after looking more careful I can see it is Sasuke.

actually the images don´t match at all. I´d say that´s a drawing manga mistake by using the wrong half´s bottom

...what da ya think?
