Talk:Pain's Assault

Why
Why is this separate from Invasion of Pain arc..? Simant (talk) 20:43, 19 July 2009 (UTC)


 * One's about the event, the other's about everything that happens between chapter X and chapter Y. One, I feel, should also be combined with another arc. ~SnapperTo 20:56, 19 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Anyone got complaints about merging?Simant (talk) 06:41, January 4, 2010 (UTC)


 * I am against this page going anywhere (not sure if that was what you were talking about but whatever) Like Snapper said, this article is about the battle, the Invasion of Pain arc is about well, yeah chapter X to chapter Y. But by looking at it, the Senjutsu training arc could be blended into the Invasion arc article in some way as they both did bleed in together rather deeply.--TheUltimate3 (talk) 11:37, January 4, 2010 (UTC)
 * This has been on my to-do list for a while. It should be less duplicative if it's given some more distinction from the arc. ~SnapperTo 20:20, January 4, 2010 (UTC)
 * I tried writing it (when I did it...WAS i the one who made this page o.O I cant remember) I tried to write it like a battle outline on Wikipedia: A Prelude-ish, Battle, Aftermath. I know I was slacking on gutting the Invasion of Pain arc page, but really I've been slacking on gutting all of those.--TheUltimate3 (talk) 20:23, January 4, 2010 (UTC)
 * I think one of the problems is that it was difficult to work on it when the invasion was ongoing. Now it's difficult to work on it since it's passé. Invasion of Konoha was much easier to write five years after the fact. ~SnapperTo 20:30, January 4, 2010 (UTC)
 * I've also added Kage Summit to my to-do list. It will differentiate from Five Kage Summit arc by having Sasuke v Raikage described in one sentence instead of ten chapters. :0 Expect it to be done in 2013. ~SnapperTo 20:39, January 4, 2010 (UTC)

Hospital
How do we know Katsuyu surrounded the hospital? Jules R. J. Blake (talk) 14:13, October 19, 2009 (UTC)


 * The idiot who wrote that must have been thinking of something from some other series. ~SnapperTo 23:21, October 19, 2009 (UTC)

Start of Fourth Shinobi World War.
"Some years earlier, Pain's attack at the start of the Fourth Great Ninja War had turned the village of Konohagakure into an empty wasteland, nothing but crushed houses in the cratered earth."

Page 12 (at least, that is the page it is listed on as my copy, the citation can go without the page if need be), as requested by Ventillate. Arcadia warlic (talk) 14:45, 14 March 2022 (UTC)
 * By any chance, would you happen to know what chapter this is from? I can't seem to find the text in either Chapters 1 or 2 (which is mostly Naruto and Himawari). At the same time, I believe that it could be a mistranslation or misinterpretation as there wasn't a formal declaration until Sasuke intervened in the Five Kage Summit. I'm not in any way doubting the quote you pulled, but it could really complicate things regarding the timeline of the war. -Ventillate { 👤 | 💬 | 🔧 } 14:53, 14 March 2022 (UTC)
 * No worries, I also find it interesting, but at least trivia-worthy. It is from the prologue. From another translation, "More than a decade before, The Village Hidden in the leaves had literally turned into an empty wasteland because of Pain's attack, the first one to be done in the Fourth Shinobi World War. A vast land hollowed out, with houses squashed flat." Considering two different translations both indicate it, I doubt it is entirely inaccurate. Arcadia warlic (talk) 15:03, 14 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Ohh I see. I found it in the Prologue. I originally thought it was in the actual chapters. Instead of referencing it as a trivia-point in the Pain Assault page, I think it would be better noted on the Naruto Shinden: Parent and Child Day page as the Pain Assault predates the official declaration of the 4th Great Ninja War in both the anime and manga. Then again, it is also a novel, so I question its significance as a trivia point either way. Feel free to add it in though if you find it appropriate on the novel page. -Ventillate { 👤 | 💬 | 🔧 } 15:18, 14 March 2022 (UTC)
