Naruto Anime & Manga Discussion Thread (contains spoilers)

[Elemmire]

I remember reading that they said he was the only survivor of the battle of some pass of something... and that a Jounin found him and brought him back. Not really much other than that. It could mean that Konoha was in the battle or showed up in the aftermath. *shrugs*

 

[Bajaratt]

Didn't they explain what happened to him when they(Anko/Sarutobi) figured out there was something fishy about him and willingly dropping out of the exams 7 times?

Yeah, they did, Elemmire just has a crappy memory. If the leaf wasn't the one who wiped out his family, there'd be absolutely not reason for him to hate the village and want it destroyed.

Kabuto was a boring character anyways, no clue why Ele is so dedicated to unraveling all his "mysteries."

 

[Elemmire]

I still haven't seen you shown where they said exactly that Konoha were the ones that destroyed his family..

And you're missing my point, my point was more that there are tons of things (some little) here and there that would be nice to have answered. One being Naruto's parents but that's not too big as they're dead anyways and not too important.. but characters that are already in (or were in) during the series run need more backstory >.>

I want to see Naruto know who his parents were too. But that will be left for last because that is like the biggest secret everyone wants to know in the manga. I'm rooting for the 4th! ^^

I didn't think I needed to, since everyone but you remembers what they said.

Your point is you want to know about unimportant crap that either no one else cares about or was already explained. The "little things" you want to know are mostly completely irrelevant; you don't need to have a complete backstory to understand Kabuto. His family got killed by the leaf village, Orochimaru told him about it when he was a kid, now he works for Orochimaru to help destroy the leaf village. That's all they need to say to explain his character. His favorite breakfast food or the first time he mastered a jutsu are completely irrelevant to the character, so there's nothing they need to go into.

Some of what you're asking about is probably in the companion guides about Naruto I keep hearing about; they just explain extra details of the Naruto world, and probably give more background on some of the characters; since you seem to want that useless info, go read those.

Naruto's parents is potentially a big deal. Most people think Naruto's dad is the 4th(I do too), so when they reveal that, it'll be important. If it's just some no-name ninja, then it'll be completely unimportant and no one will care.

 

[Grem]

Kabuto is Naruto's father,

IT ALL FITS, YO!

Rin is the mother, and also Tobi, apparently.

Rin is Mandara.

Also, what ply toilet paper does shino use? OMG.

All I know about this manga is from wikipedia writeups.

Who am I?

 

[Tymon]

Since this is such a pivotal chapter, I'll be posting possible spoilers as they are released.

Take it from me in this post, the chances of any of them being real are slim to none.

 

[Elemmire]

I didn't think I needed to, since everyone but you remembers what they said.

That's funny cause only you have said that in this thread about the parents.. that doesn't mean they don't know but you can't assume they do think the same. I still can't find the manga chapter (Though I stopped looking a while ago ) where they say "leaf killed kabuto's village" at all.

Here's what it said

"That young boy brought back from the Battle at Bellflower Pass."
"As I remember, a Jounin of the medical team brought back a child who had survived the battle. So he is that child.."

And thats all I've ever seen on his backstory. That doesn't say the leaf killed his people.. doesn't even say it was at any village (after all.. generall a Pass is a way through something like the mountains or a channel of water.. etc). I can see that there's an ASSUMPTION that can be made about Kabuto and leaf killing.. just as the ASSUMPTION is that Naruto's father is the 4th. But there hasn't exactly been any proof, I've seen, about it. If it's in the other books than I'll have to take a look, but Kabuto was important to the story earlier.. just as Anko was for a bit (and seemed like she was going to be for a while) and a whole bunch of other characters. And all of them really didn't have much about them... that was my whole damn point. It would have been nice to have backstory of what would have, seemingly, been important characters to the story.. ones like Hidan and Kakuzu..

And Grem.. if you keep flamebaiting you're only going to get yourself in trouble.

I love how you assumed it was about you.

Also, how come anything negative said to you is automaticly flamebaiting? You never used to say it until Meeze got banned for it, is it your way of trying to get folks banned?

Lame as.

Where else would I say it? Do you expect me to throw into any of my other posts "oh, btw, the leaf village wiped out Kabuto's family"?

Here's what it said

"That young boy brought back from the Battle at Bellflower Pass."
"As I remember, a Jounin of the medical team brought back a child who had survived the battle. So he is that child.."

I remember them saying the leaf was involved, if they weren't, what possible reason could Kabuto have to hate the leaf and want it destroyed? You're ignoring huge motivations for the characters, just because you're the only person who doesn't remember what was said.

Hidan and Kakuzu are minor characters, they're not important at all except for them being necessary to kill Azuma. They weren't even revealed until their single, small arc that was more about Naruto finishing developing the Rasengan than them actually killing Azuma.

You're focusing entirely too much on the supporting cast. There hasn't been any backstory on Shizune(unless it was in the filler-year), and she's a significantly more important supporting character than Kabuto. They're really unimportant characters overall, not knowing every detail of Kabuto's background isn't going to change the series in the slightest.

You're also ignoring how there is supplemental information on the series that's being published, it's just not being brought over here.

 

[Skaw]

Shizune has some backstory. She is the neice of Dan or something like that.

 

[Uzor]

The reason they're leaving it open for back stories could be because the whole plot is not written out start to end. So if they get a good idea, they could fill in the back story for one character to fit what that character or the other character is supposed to do. Similar to the Kakashi back-story revealing Obito and Tobi.

Additionally, its quite natural that they leave parts unexplained, since that means people will discuss it and think up theories similar to what we are doing now. This keeps people excited and hoping for more.

That's a problem then if it's not being brought here.. and the motivation with kabuto might not be hatred for Konoha but the mere charm/admiration of Orochmaru. Hell, he's been show to be very charismatic and able to manipulate people, he could, very well, have done that to kabuto. And yes, I still would like to learn more about the characters. I'll be real pissed if Pein doesn't get decent character development for him or others.

I always believed Madara was involved some how but it really does seem Obito is involved some how too but who knows *shrugs*

!!!Chapter 367 Spoiler Alert!!!

Who is Uzumaki Kushina? One of Naruto's parents? 4th Hokage?

Looks like the mystery of Naruto's father may be revealed soon... I still believe the 4th is Naruto's father, they're almost exact duplicates of each other.

 

[Tymon]

Uzumaki Kushina = Wife of the 4th Hokage, Naruto's mother.

Fourth Hokage's name = Namikaze (unknown spelling) Minato

It's been confirmed, the fourth IS naruto's father.
