Hi LeafShinobi

Re: Signature techniques
Yeah, only a select few characters are given signature techniques in the databooks. You can check which characters have them here, by looking for "Signature technique(s)". —ShounenSuki (talk 20:27, October 24, 2010 (UTC)

Clan
OK this has been confusing me for awhile. Why do you and a few other users such as ShounenSuki and Omnibender keep reverting my simple edit of "Clan" back to "clan". It's really annoying and seems like you guys are doing it for no reason. It is grammatically correct. They are proper nouns because they mention a specific clan not a general sense of the word. I'm going to change them all back and if I see they are changed again I'm going to take more action. Simant has already agreed with me that he doesn't see the point in these edits. I'm goign to talk to the other users and get to the bottom of this. 19:57, November 8, 2010 (UTC)

Re: Sword & Tsunami
Although it is possible that the swords were Hashirama's, there are several reasons why it seems unlikely or, even if they are his, it doesn't prove he's a swordsman. The fact they are actually stuck into the branch around Hashirama makes it seem as if either Madara threw them at Hashirama, or they were used in the same ceremony that involved the scroll Hashirama is holding. Neither possibility makes Hashirama an actual swordsman.

As for the Tsunami–Kaiza matter: Tsunami calls Kaiza her, indicating marriage. —ShounenSuki (talk 18:37, November 27, 2010 (UTC)

Orochimaru Mud Body
Wasn't his use actually an Earth Clone, similar to the one he used against Anko in the Forest of Death? Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 23:51, December 3, 2010 (UTC)
 * If so, I don't think Orochimaru should be listed under that technique, his body modifications are due to the Soft Physique Modification, not Mud Body. Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 19:05, December 4, 2010 (UTC)

Re: Hideouts
Orochimaru's hideout is called by Kabuto. There are also the, the , and the. Given this information and the location of the first hideout, it is likely that hideout was called the.

As for the Akatsuki thing, that probably refers to an answer he gave to a question posed to him in the Third Databook. He was asked where the two-man Akatsuki teams slept, answering they slept in two single-bed [hotel] rooms. It wasn't about a specific Akatsuki hideout or anything. —ShounenSuki (talk 21:40, January 8, 2011 (UTC)


 * The East, South, and West Hideouts were named in the Third Databook, yes. I'm certain kita no mizuumi is a description, rather than a name. Orochimaru's hideout from part one was, as far as I know, Otogakure itself. The lantern room seems to have been a new hideout used by Akatsuki. I don't think we've seen it after that meeting, although it could have been the same place where they sealed the Four-Tails and Two-Tails.

Re: Seven Ninja Swordsmen & Shizune
It was stated in the second databook that the Shinobigatana all wield. A daitō is a large sword, the size of the well-known katana. However, the word is relatively rare and emphasises the size more than the normal word for. In common usage, daitō often refers to larger-than-average swords, like those wielded by the Shinobigatana.

I couldn't find any instance of Naruto calling Shizune by name, although I didn't look really well. I do recall him calling her —ShounenSuki (talk 23:15, January 15, 2011 (UTC)

I looked through most chapters were Shizune appeared (those were Naruto seamed able to talk to her) and didn't see him call her "neechan". Jacce | Talk | Contributions 16:42, January 25, 2011 (UTC)

 * Puppet master could be translated as, but I don't believe that word has ever been used in the manga.
 * I would use as the general term for puppets — e.g. "Sasori is a character who uses, a.k.a. a ".
 * The name of the Forty-Third Training Ground written on the map was exactly as I gave to you.
 * I reread that arc just to be sure. I always thought Jiraiya and Naruto visited three towns, but I guess I was wrong. The first town Jiraiya and Naruto visit is Shukuba Town. This is where they fight Kisame and Itachi and meet Guy and Sasuke. The second town is Tanzaku Quarters, where the rest of the arc takes place. I always thought that the town where they visited the festival and where they train before finally meeting Tsunade was a different town from Tanzaku, but I guess it's just another part of it. Although it is perhaps more accurate to say that that place and Tanzaku Quarters are both part of the same town.
 * From what I remember when the Legend of the Tailed Beasts was first revealed as a fake, it was nothing more than a fanfic based on Naruto and drawing inspiration from various myths and legends.

 * Oh look, I guess it is a valid term after all.
 * I would change the introduction to:, sometimes shortened to , are used as...
 * The towns are rather confusing. The clash with Itachi and Kisame definitely happened in Shukuba Town, that much is certain. The reunion with Tsunade and Shizune happened in Tanzaku Quarters, which is where the Tanzaku Castle was destroyed by Orochimaru. After this, things get confusing. The way it seems in the manga, Tanzaku Quarters is actually a different town from where Jiraiya and Naruto train. However, the databooks places the festival that took place there in Tanzaku Quarters. Goshiki, Shū, Sōzu, and Momiji are all said to be from Tanzaku Quarters as well. it could be that Jiraiya and Naruto were actually staying in Tanzaku Quarters, but that Jiraiya visited nearby towns for information.
 * —ShounenSuki (talk 22:22, January 26, 2011 (UTC)
 * Not as impossible as you might think, thanks to high-resolution scanners. tThe sign says, which could easily be the name of a town. —ShounenSuki (talk 01:46, January 29, 2011 (UTC)
 * The characters you mentioned above are all clearly stated to be from Tanzaku Quarters in the databook. However, I think you're right and Kishimoto-sensei just mixed things up. It's now quite obvious that there were three towns, yet the second town is never mentioned anywhere in the databooks, unlike Shukuba Town and Tanzaku Quarters.
 * as for your other questions that I hadn't answered yet:
 * That technique is called in chapter 46 and  in chapters 56 and 227, and in the databook. Hōsenka, when written as 鳳仙花, is the Japanese name of the garden balsam, which the name of the technique is obviously a pun on. That's probably the reason for the different spelling in the earlier chapter.
 * I can't find any mention of the flack jacket. I don't think it was ever named in the series.
 * —ShounenSuki (talk 17:31, January 29, 2011 (UTC)


 * You sure know how to keep me busy ^ω^
 * . It is also written without the の:.
 * . Also, the little pockets on the flakjackets are called :::::# and the iron guards worn on the back of the gloves of some shinobi (like Kakashi) are called.

Ah, I see what you're getting at. I think some explaining is in order.

Oftentimes, the prefix and the name itself are written on different lines. When this happens, the ・ is left out. For example, would be written as
 * 火遁
 * 豪火球の術

When this is the case, it's basically guesswork if an ・ is used or not. In chapter fifty-five, Human Bullet Tank is written as:

If you were to write it on a single line, however, it would most likely be written with as.

Ninja Art: Summoning - Earth Release: Tracking Fang Technique and Ninja Art: Summoning - Food Cart Destroyer Technigue were written as



and

respectively. In these cases, I took the exclamation marks after the 'summoning' to indicate a bigger pause than the ・ would normally indicate, so I used a dash instead of a hyphen (or a space instead of a ・ in the Japanese). This is similar to the way Jiraiya's Toad Flat - Shadow Manipulation Technique is written. I hope this explained the situation to you.

Now as for your other questions: —ShounenSuki (talk 17:27, January 30, 2011 (UTC)
 * 1) Headbutt wasn't directly called, although it is implied in the name itself. using Eighth for it might be taking too many liberties, though.
 * 2) Black Secret Technique Machine One Shot was written the exact same way in the manga and the databook. However, all subsequent puppetry techniques are written with either an actual ・, or a break implying one.
 * 3) Minato's Food Cart Destroyer isn't named in the manga. He merely says.
 * 4) Kiba says "Dynamic Marking in mid-air". He doesn't actually use a different name or anything.
 * All the towns are near Konoha, so I'd assume they are all in the Land of Fire.
 * Hiashi has a ninja registration number, so I'd say he did go to the Academy.
 * —ShounenSuki (talk 19:45, January 30, 2011 (UTC)


 * I would say those characters deserve a Land of Fire affiliation, yes.
 * I don't see why the Konoha Library would not be worth its own article.
 * The onsen should be in the Land of Fire. Also, the place where Hebi rests after defeating Deidara is called, if you're interested.
 * In chapter 76, Kiba calls it, whereas Akamaru calls it . In chapter 187, they actually only use the prefixes and not the actual name of the technique. Kiba definitely changed as well with this technique. he became visibly more beastly.
 * You don't actually see Naruto use clones, but you clearly see three hands trying to perform the Rasengan. It's unclear, but I think it might have been intended as Naruto using a clone.
 * The names of the ANBU teams are a bit difficult. In chapter 115, two teams are named. The first is called, where the two characters between the 「」 (the kanji for 'tree' and the hiragana 'i') are written as one character. The second team is , again with the two characters between the 「」 (this time, the kanji for 'fire' and the hiragana 'ro') written as a single character. in chapter 421, things are even more odd. The team named there is , again with the two chacracters between the 「」 written as a single one, but here the hitagana 'ro' has been replaced with the kanji for 'completion'. However, this kanji bears a great resemblance to the hiragana 'ro', so it might be a simple mistake. I'm not sure why these names were written so oddly, but I'm trying to figure out the significance. I and ro, by the way, are the first two kana in the traditional iroha way of kana sorting. It's the Japanese equivalent of saying Team A and B.
 * Kankurō says Chiyo was heading the Puppet Brigade's R&D into the One's Own Life Reincarnation technique, but that's all I could find.
 * The databook says nothing conclusive about Funari's fate.
