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)

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.

 * 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.

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 characters between the 「」 written as a single one, but here the hiragana '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.
 * —ShounenSuki (talk 22:42, January 30, 2011 (UTC)
 * R&D is research and development. It's not mentioned as a specific department within the Puppet Brigade or anything, they were simply doing research into, and developing a way to, give life to puppets.
 * Yes, Kankurō says Sasori was admired as.
 * Nothing is said about what country the women visiting the onsen are from (except for Nae, then). However, because Nae's home country was specifically mentioned and given the reasons the women have for visiting the onsen, I'd say it's safe to say they are from the Land of Fire.
 * I'm sorry, I completely messed that up before, didn't I >< It's.
 * When Naruto uses Sennengoroshi, he says:.
 * Kiba says.
 * No, they're simply and . I should really just make a fresh translation of all the databook techniques some day...
 * can be translated as both Earth Style and Earth Flow. In the case of Doryūheki, the former is more appropriate.
 * No it's not. It should be something along the lines of.

 * There are two Shiba listed on this page, both of whom I am quite sure are named Shiba. The same goes for Sarugaku Tsuzumi. It's easy to make the mistake between tsu and shi in katakana, as the two are quite similar: ツ and シ.
 * Fixed it. If you find any mistakes, don't be afraid to fix them ^^
 * He actually uses the terms Land of Leafs, Land of Mist, Land of Clouds, Land of Sand, and Land of Rocks. However, when Madam Shijimi is introduced in the same chapter, she is called the wife of the daimyō of the Land of Fire. It's quite obvious that Kishimoto-sensei didn't really know which way he wanted to go yet back then.

 * Shū, as with several other characters, is from the minor characters section of the second databook. This section lists characters by what village they come from, but the characters from Shukuba-machi and Tanzaku-gai were grouped together. Hence why he's given a 'double' affiliation.
 * Pochi was given a small heading in Inari's databook article. The same happened with Tsume Inuzuka and Kuromaru, for instance.
 * Su is written as ス, whereas tsu is written as ツ. However, I think you mean shi (シ) and tsu, as we discussed those before. The difference is subtle, but still very important.
 * The first difference is the direction of the small strokes. With tsu, the small strokes are written almost vertically and next to each other, whereas with shi, they are written almost horizontally and on top of each other.
 * The second difference is the order of writing the strokes: with tsu, you first write the leftmost small stroke, then the right small stroke, and then the larger stroke. With shi, you first write the top small stroke, then the bottom small stroke, and the the larger stroke.
 * The last difference is the direction in which you write the larger strokes: with tsu, the larger stroke is written from top to bottom, whereas with shi it's written from bottom to top.

 * The Shō no Sho is like an intermediate databook. It came out as an extra with, I believe, chapter 247 and covers the very beginning of Part II.
 * The Fire Daimyō shown in Part II seems to old to be Madam Shijimi's son, so I'd say it's safe to assume she's his wife.

 * For Ino-Shika-Chō, I would go with the hiragana as the primary name, as that was the one used in the databook. However, there really hasn't been a consistent way of writing the name, so this is just an arbitrary decision.

Re: Sasori & Third Kazekage
I don't believe it has ever been clearly said when those events happened exactly. We do have rough time indications, though: These statements indicate that Sasori defeated the Kazekage after he left the village and quite a while after, as well. —ShounenSuki (talk 13:20, April 25, 2011 (UTC)
 * Sasori left Suna more than twenty years ago;
 * The Third Kazekage disappeared more than ten years ago.


 * The word comes from the kanji 撒菱, literally meaning 'scattered caltrop'.
 * Tōken is the general word for the category of weapons. Katana is often used in everyday speech in Japan, though. Technically speaking, though, katana refers to single-edged, often curved blades and tsurugi refers to double-edged, often straight blades. Tōken is a combination of the two words.
 * The same kind of goes for the words used for puppets. Kugutsu refers to basic puppets, while ningyō literally means 'human shape' and refers specifically to humanoid puppets. Kugutsu is often used in general speech in the manga to refer to all puppets, but as a category of weapons/tools, the proper term to use is kugutsu ningyō.

 * 1) The Gama article is really only about that one, single toad.


 * Actually, I would cast doubt on the toad from the Tsunade arc being the same as Gama. Although they look nearly identical, the second toad is actually missing Gama's trademark crystal. Still, the fact they do look nearly identical does imply that Kishimoto-sensei meant for them to be considered the same.
 * The literal meaning of is kirin.

 * Well, maybe I got off a bit too easy with the kirin thing. It might actually be fun for you to know. the two kanji is written with do actually have separate meanings:  is actually the name of a male kirin, while  is the name of a female.
 * The same is actually true for the : a is a male hōō and an  is a female.
 * The is another example: a  is a male and a  a female.

Jutsu Type
When you add the specific jutsu types to the articles' category sort, the the drilldown list for "dōjutsu" has a link for dōjutsu in it which is redundant. I've already said it's unnecessary because the pages have drilldown lists which will link them to the other page already.--Cerez365™ 19:07, May 11, 2011 (UTC)

Sorting
The purpose of defaultsort is to keep similar things grouped together and/or listed in sequential order. Using it to list everything with a number in its name listed as though it's a number makes organization worse than it already is. ~SnapperTo 21:23, May 12, 2011 (UTC)

Re: Yata Mirror
Hi, allow me to answer your question: You can write the Kanji as 八咫鏡 or as 八咫の鏡. It doesn't matter, because both ways are correct. But since the databook says 八咫鏡, we write it that way. The same is with 草薙剣 Kusanagi no Tsurugi. There you could also write it as 草薙の剣, afaik. But I think, Suki-san can give you a more proper answer^^ Seelentau 愛議 00:31, May 14, 2011 (UTC)


 * This is actually a throwback to the ancient days. Back when the kana syllabaries hadn't been developed yet, the particle 'の' in names was generally left out. It was still read though. So '八咫の鏡' would be how it should be written in modern Japanese, yet because of tradition and the general feeling that religious texts should be written in an old-fashioned style, it is still written without the 'の'. —ShounenSuki (talk 09:49, May 14, 2011 (UTC)

Re: Drilling Finger Bullets
The kanji of the technique (十指穿弾) literally mean 'Ten-Digit Drilling Bullets'. The first two kanji, however, would normally be pronounced as 'jisshi' or 'jusshi', rather than the 'teshi' given by the furigana. 'Teshi' probably comes from, the first kanji of which can also be pronounced as 'te'. I don't know why Kishimoto-sensei decided on this — possibly some kind of pun or to make it clearer he meant fingers, rather than any of the digits — but this doesn't really matter. This name can be translated to encompass the entirety of the known meaning: 'Ten-Finger Drilling Bullets'. —ShounenSuki (talk 23:02, May 17, 2011 (UTC)

Mugen Castle Summoning
Can we list Orochimaru as user of Secret Technique: Summoning: Mugen Castle? But I personally heard Kabuto when he said the name of the jutsu. --NejiLoverr26 (Ilnarutoanime) 12:46, May 26, 2011 (UTC)

Re: Volumes and chapters' names
I've been thinking about the punctuation for a while now. To be honest, I'm not entirely sure how to handle it. I do think it would be better to use '…' instead of '...'. For the question and exclamation marks, I'm ambivalent. When giving the rōmaji, 'bāsasu' should be used instead of 'VS' or 'vs'.

Thank you for fixing those mistakes, by the way. —ShounenSuki (talk 18:17, June 16, 2011 (UTC)


 * Fmakck fixed a mistake that wasn't a mistake. I had purposely changed that '!!' to '?!', because it is a question and in English, questions get '?' at the end. In Japanese, this isn't actually necessary. —ShounenSuki (talk 18:21, June 16, 2011 (UTC)
 * For consistency's sake, I think it would be best to universally use '!' and '?' instead of '！' or '？'. As for my using 'EXP', I did that because the Japanese word actually refers specifically to EXP — or the experience points from RPGs — and not to regular experience. —ShounenSuki (talk 18:46, June 16, 2011 (UTC)
 * I would suggest so. —ShounenSuki (talk 19:45, June 17, 2011 (UTC)

Re: Questions
—ShounenSuki (talk 22:10, June 29, 2011 (UTC)
 * No, it really should be 'jusshi'. Also, I think 'Ten-Finger Drilling Bullets' is better than 'Ten-Digit Drilling Bullets'. I'm sorry, but I looked over that.
 * 1) I meant the second kanji in the word for mandala: 陀. The kanji for 'snake' is 蛇.
 * 2) He is actually still called Gen in the tankōbon. I would stick with 'Shibi', though. At least until the next databook comes out.
 * 3) He didn't really create anything in chapter 519. He tried to create an ordinary Rasengan, but ended up doing an unbalanced Tailed Beast Rasengan. If I had to classify it as either of the two, I would classify it as a Rasengan, though, as that is the technique he was really using there.


 * No, the kanji used can also mean 'finger', depending on the context. The context here definitely shows it means 'finger' here. 'Ten-Finger Drilling Bullets' is almost as literal a translation as 'Ten-Digit Drilling Bullets'. Still, you could use 'Ten-Digit Drilling Bullets' as the literal translation, but you'd have to explain the situation in the trivia section.
 * We haven't seen a Tailed Beast Rasengan as far as I remember, so it shouldn't have a début yet.

Re: Itachi's age
I asked ShounenSuki the same question, he answered:
 * About Itachi: there was never an age stated, but we know he had to have been at least thirteen, the age he became an ANBU captain. We also know Sasuke was seven, as he states he was the same age as Itachi was when he graduated the Academy. Sasuke is about five years younger than Itachi, so Itachi really couldn't have been older than thirteen. It might not have been stated per se, but there's almost no denying the fact that Itachi was thirteen when he massacred his clan.
 * It's kind of weird, because Itachi looks definitly older... Seelentau 愛議 12:15, June 30, 2011 (UTC)

Itachi was thirteen when he massacred his clan and Sasuke was seven. —ShounenSuki (talk 14:56, June 30, 2011 (UTC)

Because we have and it's a little bit... messy :/ Seelentau 愛議 16:30, June 30, 2011 (UTC)


 * @LeafShinobi: I didn't mean to lash out at you. It's just that Itachi's age during the massacre has been questioned so many times since the moment he was introduced. I don't think any other fact has been questioned this much.
 * @Seelentau: We don't really have a good time line here. I did make a pretty detailed time line of the Uchiha massacre on Itachi's talk page. I didn't cite any sources there, but I could give you source or justifications for everything in that time line. —ShounenSuki (talk 21:25, June 30, 2011 (UTC)

Re: Naruto Ultimate Ninja ougi
Since I'm not as good as ShounenSuki, I'm afraid I can't find kanji just by knowing what they look like. It was easy for Guy's first Jutsu, should be something like 木ノ葉体術・旋風烈脚 Konoha Taijutsu: Senpū Rekkykaku. But I would ask Suki-san to confirm this. Orochimaru's Jutsus look like 草薙の剣・一?死 ''Kusanagi no Tsurugi: Ichi ? Shin''. Couldn't find the second Kanji there, but it means something like cut or maybe attack.
