Need a translation please
Hi, Shonensuki-san. I'm in need of your awesome and famous Japanese translating skills. Manga 540, what exactly did Ao say about Itachi's genjutsu? I'd be really grateful. Btw I really appreciate your work on the databooks, must not have been easy.

Hello again Shonensuki-san can you please translate where Itachi talks about Madara gaining new light in chap 386. Please? FlyingRaijin (talk) 13:49, April 1, 2012 (UTC)

So is the "characteristic doujutsu" Rinnegan ? --Elveonora (talk) 20:34, April 1, 2012 (UTC)


 * The 'characteristic dōjutsu' could be anything: the Rinnegan, the eternal Mangekyō Sharingan itself, or a whole new technique entirely. I still think it referred to the eternal Mangekyō Sharingan itself. —ShounenSuki (talk 20:41, April 1, 2012 (UTC)

He already mentioned it gives eternal light, thus it's a new technique or Rinnegan.

"An eternal Mangekyō Sharingan! It is said that by finding a new host, the eyes of his younger brother obtained eternal light… And not only that, but a change occurred as well. A new, characteristic dōjutsu was born in those eyes. However, the exchange of eyes could only be done within the clan. Besides, using this method didn't mean just anybody could obtain new power. This became clear from the history of abundant sacrifices that came after later" So trading MS eyes = EMS But for some reason, trading eyes did not ever give a new power. The part about "sacrifices", so they got EMS but not the new power and sacrificies were made to get it.

This sounds like Uchiha killed Senju to get Rinnegan to me (sorry if it's speculative) but the way it's worded. --Elveonora (talk) 21:03, April 1, 2012 (UTC)


 * He could be saying the 'characteristic dōjutsu' bit to either emphasise or to distinguish the eternal Mangekyō Sharingan from the normal Mangekyō Sharingan. The sacrifices bit is quite clearly about the eternal Mangekyō Sharingan —it's about how you have to take a fellow Uchiha's eyes to gain it, as no sacrifices are needed for the Rinnegan— so the 'characteristic dōjutsu' bit most likely is too. If it wasn't about that, either Itachi would have made it clearer, or Sasuke would have wondered what it was about. There is no foreshadowing here, really. —ShounenSuki (talk 21:41, April 1, 2012 (UTC)

"A new, characteristic dōjutsu was born in those eyes. However, the exchange of eyes could only be done within the clan. Besides, using this method didn't mean just anybody could obtain new power. This became clear from the history of abundant sacrifices that came after later" He says that trading eyes did not always give new power. He is talking already about brothers taking Mangekyou Sharingan eyes to get Eternal. Not killing close ones to get Mangekyou, that's the point ; ) --Elveonora (talk) 21:48, April 1, 2012 (UTC)


 * Thank you once again. I think he's talking about the EMS' new design when he said a new characteristic dojutsu, that must have been the 'change' that occured, it's a characteristic dojutsu because no two EMS users could have the same EMS design. The sacrifiices part most likely means that not everybody gained new light, that is, not everyone could escape blindness through this method. If he was referring to gaining some new ability then it wouldn't be a sacrifice, would you consider it a sacrifice gaining freedom from blindness but not getting a new jutsu? It'll be more of a sacrifice if you took your clansmen eyes but still remained blind.
 * Anyways, its just my opinion.
 * This has nothing to do with the wikia but could you please tell me the Japanese of
 * Sage Technique Combination Barrier Ninjutsu: Red Sensory Electrifying Barrier
 * Lightning Sage
 * Barrier Unlocking Key Technique
 * Genjutsu Seal
 * Lightning Release: Electrifying Beat(as in beat of a drum)
 * Water Release: Three Headed Roaring Lion
 * Sage Technique: Inescapable Hair Bind
 * Cloaking Barrier Technique
 * Sage Technique: Lord of the Clouds
 * Demonic Illusion: Enslaving Feathers
 * Drum Sealing Method.
 * Clone Merging Technique
 * FlyingRaijin (talk) 22:30, April 1, 2012 (UTC)

So either Uchiha killed close ones to get MS and took eyes of their relative to get EMS in hope of getting this new power, or those that obtained an Eternal Mangekyou had to carry out some unknown sacrifice. --Elveonora (talk) 22:23, April 1, 2012 (UTC)
 * The part "not only that" says that there's more than giving it eternal light so there would be no reason to refer to the same thing twice.
 * From the exchange of Mangekyou Sharingan, it's possible but not given to obtain the new power.
 * The last part states that the sacrifices were made specifically to get the new power.


 * The sacrifices made for obtaining the eternal Mangekyō Sharingan are those whose eyes are taken and those who failed to obtain it. You shouldn't be thinking all too deeply about it. If there was any foreshadowing in this scene, it would have been far more obvious, like it was when Itachi told Sasuke about the third Mangekyō Sharingan wielder. —ShounenSuki (talk 09:28, April 2, 2012 (UTC)

If you say so sensei, thank you. I still think there's more to it though, we are talking about Kishi here ; ) The way it's worded, that's it ... Though it's worder like those already with EMS tried to gain new power somehow :/ Also "the third Mangekyou Sharingan wielder" is also questionable as Tobi has not shown any yet and with Madara dead. Hard to tell if Itachi was lying (as Kabuto said), was also deceived by Tobi, or he was not speaking literary.
 * If there was no new power or something, he could just drop it rigt after mention of "eternal new light" and without "and not only that"
 * About the last part, maybe you are right that he is talking about sacrifices of Uchiha killing close ones and relatives ripping out eyes.

Also sorry for taking your time, but these mysteries around Uchiha and all are only thing that still interest me. The plot is getting kinda predictable, there are still unanswered questions from before though. --Elveonora (talk) 15:21, April 2, 2012 (UTC)

Thanks once again Shonensuki-san, could you please do one more: Yeah, I decided to go Kishi and use Sage Arts(the Japanese is Senpo right?) Instead of Sage Technique.
 * Sage Arts: Invisible Sensory Barrier Defence.

Btw I've noticed an interesting fact but it got shot down on the talk page. Remember when 30% of Itachi's chakra was put in a clone and made to fight Team Kakashi, in Chapter 260, the 'Itachi' placed Kakashi's clone under a genjutsu, next panel we see the clone in genjutsu and next panel it's grabbing 'Itachi' and holding him in place then Itachi says 'no wonder you're not affected by the genjutsu, this is a kage bushin' does that mean the clone was immune to genjutsu because it was a clone? Are clones immune to genjutsu?I sorta need a translation of what Itachi said Shonensuki-san.FlyingRaijin (talk) 23:15, April 3, 2012 (UTC)

Its possible that Itachi is saying clones are immune right? The genjutsu has no effect, doesn't that mean genjutsu doesn't work? There's only one way to prove this; when Bee said perfect jinchuuriki are immune to genjutsu, was it the same Japanese words as Itachi's statement?FlyingRaijin (talk) 12:20, April 4, 2012 (UTC)

Of course nobody is immune but there are certain people that can genjutsu of the highest class. Anyways, isn't it good enough to be mentioned in the Narutopedia's Shadow clone article? Btw Shonensuki-san, would you agree that nothing new comes from Kishimoto-sensei anymore? I mean Izanami has been predicted for about 3 years and he just does exactly that.FlyingRaijin (talk) 18:17, April 4, 2012 (UTC)

Possible foreshadowing of Kabuto's background ? Or no special meaning ? --Elveonora (talk) 17:45, April 3, 2012 (UTC)


 * I doubt it's foreshadowing — we're rather familiar with Kabuto's background already. Besides, even if it was foreshadowing, we cannot really take it all that serious. We're not even sure who writes those blurbs. —ShounenSuki (talk 17:48, April 3, 2012 (UTC)

I see, thank you. --Elveonora (talk) 17:50, April 3, 2012 (UTC)

Anything interesting in the promotional text which mentions April 28th? Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 22:38, April 3, 2012 (UTC)

So does this weak's chapter proves that those "blurbs" are canonical ? --Elveonora (talk) 12:49, April 4, 2012 (UTC)


 * @Omnibender: Not really. It just says that the upcoming Jump NEXT! will feature a poster drawn by Kishimoto-sensei promoting the new film.
 * @Elveonora: It proves nothing, really. I don't remember ever seeing any of those blurbs being outright wrong, but that still doesn't change the fact that we haven't a clue who's writing them or how canonical they are. Even if Kishimoto-sensei himself is writing them, they still don't have to be canon, after all. They are, in the end, still removed from the tankōbon releases. —ShounenSuki (talk 13:04, April 4, 2012 (UTC)

So they are not necessary right or wrong, but their presence or lack of thereof makes no difference. --Elveonora (talk) 13:10, April 4, 2012 (UTC)

Kabuto form
hey ShounenSuki, look i was thinking of something with kabuto form, i think that he has a "naga" like appereance normally, but when he activates sage mode his body become "human" again, losing his naga appereance, only having his snake tail atatched to his abdomen, so i ask if this true. Try cheking manga chapters 514 and 579-581 [sign your post]

His "Naga" form is something similar to this I assume, His actual body is what we see now, still humanoid just with scales and a snake coming from his navel (not ass as it was thought).--Elveonora (talk) 23:42, April 10, 2012 (UTC)

so lets say that, he has a human form, but after he uses his snake mode he turns into that naga form in the meantime

Timeline stuff
Hi. I need the references/chapters for the following happenings:


 * Canceling of the gruesome Kirigakure Genin trials
 * Foundation of the Akatsuki
 * The higher ups of Konoha ordering Itachi to kill his clan
 * Itachi's meeting with Madara/Tobi
 * Itachi joining the Akatsuki
 * Itachi killing Shisui, awakening his MS
 * Zabuza's attack on the Mizukage
 * Orochimaru's and Kimimaro's meeting
 * Orochimaru's and Zaku's meeting
 * Lee's and Guy's meeting
 * Foundation of Otogakure

I know this is a big request, but I hope you can help me. Probably I can create a proper timeline for this wiki, then. Also, you said that "There is actually quite some evidence pointing to there being a gap of about two years between Itachi joining Akatsuki and him massacring his clan.". Could you provide that evidence? I know the Itachi issue is bothering, but I still need some... proof. Seelentau 愛議 12:40, April 11, 2012 (UTC)

I still want to find out as well.--Elveonora (talk) 14:02, April 11, 2012 (UTC)


 * I cannot promise a lot, but here is a reference for the Kirigakure exams:
 * Chapter 14, page 7:
 * I also couldn't find any references for when Orochimaru met Zaku or Kimimaro. I'll check the rest later. —ShounenSuki (talk 23:20, April 11, 2012 (UTC)

 * The blood exams were most likely cancelled with the death of Yagura and Mei as the new Mizukage
 * Adolescent Ame Orphans founded Akatsuki.
 * According to these "maths" it was when Itachi was 11 ... I guess he joined Akatsuki shortly after learning of Tobi and he has "killed" Shisui the same year.
 * Shortly after the unsuccessful assassination, he defected and met Haku
 * During the war of Kaguya against Kiri, unknown when.
 * It was not shown in manga, but Zaku died as a 14 years old ... try to guess from his appearance as a child in the anime.
 * Don't remember from manga, but in the anime it was during Lee's academy days.
 * "The Land of Sound (音の国, Oto no Kuni) is a neighbor country of the Land of Fire. It is a relatively new country in the political scene" thus most likely not that long ago.
 * I need translations and chapter references, Elveonora ^^ Seelentau 愛議 09:55, April 12, 2012 (UTC)

I finally checked the Kiri issue and well, I'm confused. Zabuza was born 26 years prior to series start and became Genin at the age of 9, correct? So he became Genin 17 years prior to series start. How can he have slaughtered the Genin 11 years prior to series start, then? He was 15 when that happened and not 9... Seelentau 愛議 21:14, April 17, 2012 (UTC)


 * I've always believed that his databook age was incorrect. Not only doesn't the age match up with the time line given in the manga, but I also remember Zabuza calling Kakashi something along the lines of 'old man' in the manga and Kakashi calling Zabuza 'brat', which would be ridiculous if they were the same age. I believe he should have been about 19 at the time of the first databook. —ShounenSuki (talk 22:06, April 17, 2012 (UTC)

I thought this myself. So should we update his age ?--Elveonora (talk) 22:12, April 17, 2012 (UTC)

There are a lot of events without refs so I asked Suki-senpai to help me. If I can complete the timeline, I will translate it to English and post it on a sub-page here. Maybe you can work with it, then. Or it's just some interesting trivia, like Omni-kun's element stuff. ;) Seelentau 愛議 22:38, April 18, 2012 (UTC)

 * Some more things: I cannot find any clear indications of when the following events happened:
 * Foundation of the Akatsuki
 * As per FB22, p.115, Yahiko's Akatsuki were active during SWWIII, so it must have been founded not long before that. Also, Tobi's Akatsuki came to rise during Yagura's puppet reign in Kirigakure, as per FB2, p.126
 * Zabuza's attack on the Mizukage
 * God knows when this took place… It seems to have been after Zabuza found Haku though, as per ch.29, p.13. On DB1, p.125, the coup d'etat was places.
 * Lee's and Guy's meeting
 * As per the flashback starting on ch.179, p.11, it was when Lee was still an Academy student. That's about all I could find, though.
 * Foundation of Otogakure
 * According to FB1, p.17, Otogakure was.
 * Dan's death
 * Kunugi Mokume's profile (DB2, p.169) clearly states it happened during SWWII: . However, this is as far as the clear statements go. Still, if you want to delve deeper, I could calculate that it must have happened about about eleven years before the Kyūbi Attack: Dan was 27 when he died and it can be assumed he was about the same age as Tsunade. This is supported by his registration number (002973), which differs about 600 points with those of Tsunade, Jiraiya, and Orochimaru (2302, 2301, and 2300, respectively). The Sannin graduated at age 6, while Dan graduated at age 10, so a difference like this would be expected.
 * Sasori's and Nagato's parents' death
 * I couldn't find anything on this. In fact, I couldn't even find any true evidence that Sasori's father was Chiyo's son killed by Sakumo.
 * Nawaki's death
 * Nawaki's death is somewhat more difficult to calculate than Dan's. First of all, although we know he died the day after his twelfth birthday (ch.160, pp.7–10), that's all we know. There is no further information that gives us a clear indication of when exactly his death took place. However, once again we can go calculate things thanks to the registration numbers. It's a tad bit more difficult this time, though, as we don't know exactly when he graduated. Still, let's give it a shot: Nawaki's registration number is 005350. There is one more person with a registration number near that: Mikoto (005348). Although we don't know when she graduated either, we can assume they graduated at the same age. This would mean both of them were born in 27BK. We can compare this with people born around the same time: The Hyūga twins were born in 29BK and their registration numbers are 005159 and 005160, which fits quite nicely. Shibi was born in 26BK (005480) and the members of the former Ino–Shika–Chō Trio were born in 25BK (005490–005492). It all its perfectly. So if Nawaki was born in 27BK, he died on 10th August, 15BK. Four years before Dan's death, giving him and Tsunade plenty of time to meet, change the medical system, and fall in love.
 * Chibi's death (lol)
 * FB2, pp.114–115 indicate that the battle between Hanzō and the soon-to-be Sannin (which killed Chibi per ch.445, pp.12–13) happened during SWWII.
 * Also I need to know about the aftermath of the destruction of the Kannabi bridge. Did the IIID NWW really end after that?
 * DB2, p.191 says: . HB, p12 says:

So Kabuto's techniques does not use chakra but Kabuto's life force ?--Elveonora (talk) 14:43, April 15, 2012 (UTC)


 * @Seelentau: I chose 'reincarnation' over 'resurrection', because nothing is being resurrected here. There is nothing that was once dead and is now brought back to life. However, you could interpret what happens as Kabuto 'reincarnating' a bit of himself into the lifeless object. In fact, to keep things consistent, I would suggest changing the translation of Edo Tensei to be in line with this technique.
 * As for the 'hyoko' part, I'm not entirely sure what to think of it. I doubt it's Urushi saying the woman's name, as he called her 'neechan' before, but on the other hand I doubt it's a simple sound effect as well, as it is quite clearly in a normal speech bubble and written in the standard speech font. You're right that it as a sound effect, it could mean 'peeking', though, so it would fit. It could also be that Urushi is commenting on Kabuto's unsteady state, as ヒョコヒョコ refers to being unsteady and he has to help Kabuto walk right afterwards.


 * @Elveonora: He just says 'life', actually, but I would assume he meant life force, yeah. Basically, he's 'reincarnating' a bit of his own life into the lifeless object, making it come to life itself. At least, that's what I got out of it. —ShounenSuki (talk 15:46, April 15, 2012 (UTC)


 * ah, I see. So, would you still label it as Ninjutsu? He's forming hand seals so there's at least a little bit of Chakra involved... Seelentau 愛議 16:32, April 15, 2012 (UTC)


 * One's Own Life Reincarnation involves life force and that is still ninjutsu. I'm sure you need chakra to actually remove the life from yourself and transfer it to the other (person/object). —ShounenSuki (talk 17:39, April 15, 2012 (UTC)

Your opinion/explanation on Yin-Yang
Hello, sorry for bothering you with this but I think a clarification would be nice. Are Yin-Yang and Spiritual-Physical energies the same thing ? What's the difference ?

We know that to mold chakra, both spiritual and physical energy are required. Where does yin-yang fit in ? Thanks--Elveonora (talk) 18:23, April 19, 2012 (UTC)
