Naruto Chapter 435: Banshou Tenin

Summary: Naruto defeats absorb!Pain, but is still caught. Inoichi thinks he knows how to locate the original Pain.

The phrase 'stole Kakashi' really jumped out at me. Kishimoto is still extremely ambiguous about Kakashi and never once did any of his characters outright state that he was dead. Even the Narrator doesn't. This is one more indication that Kakashi is not technically out of the story. Perhaps 'stole' refers to a comotose/useless state, or perhaps even that Kakashi will be a puppet. Whatever it is, Kishimoto has teased us too much about Kakashi to not develop his character further -- what author could possibly give up a character with so much potential to enrich his story?

[Pains and Naruto]

Whoa, let me get this straight.

There was soooo much sage energy in Naruto that absorby!Pain couldn't handle it and turned into a statue. And absorby!Pain didn't know to stop when he started to feel all funny? If there's a delay in energy consumption and the effects (sounds like alcohol poisoning), how would Naruto, Jiraiya, and other sages know when to stop?

And OMG Pa!Frog!

*cries*

And it looks like Pain is about to monologue. I wonder if we're going to learn anything new.



[Back in Konoha...]

Yay! They're thinking about puppeteer!Pain after all.

And interesting that Inoichi qualifies chakra has having a frequency. I wonder if people with the same chakra frequency will enhance each other's abilities like resonance =) Out of curiousity, does anyone know what other characteristics of chakra are canon? We know that the person using their own can feel it and the Hyuuga can see it as color. And I think others can feel large amounts of chakra as pressure (as in, when Naruto and Itachi, etc., get crazy, others are all what is this chakra? but maybe they were registering an abnormal frequency?) It's interesting to think that perhaps people of different abilities may register and experience chakra in different ways.

Anyway....looking forward to learning something new in the next few chapters.
