Re:Chapter 57
I meant should it be written "１０" or simply "10"?--LeafShinobi (talk) 00:09, August 6, 2011 (UTC)

Eight Trigrams Palms Great Resolving Heaven
From all techniques you had written down from Naruto: Ultimate Ninja 2 this is the only one which hasn't an article. Do you think that's the same that Eight Trigrams Palms Revolving Heaven Absolute?--LeafShinobi (talk) 20:15, August 6, 2011 (UTC)
 * I cannot be sure but think their names are different. Another thing: I think Hiashi is listed as user of Eight Trigrams Palms Revolving Heaven Absolute because of his Resolving Heaven in Ultimate Ninja 2 and 3. As what he says isn't "Eight Trigrams Palms Great Resolving Heaven" I think he shouldn't he be listed as a user of either Eight Trigrams Palms Revolving Heaven Absolute or Eight Trigrams Palms Great Resolving Heaven. What do you think?--LeafShinobi (talk) 20:30, August 6, 2011 (UTC)
 * You has it in your archive, it's Hinata's ougi.--LeafShinobi (talk) 20:37, August 6, 2011 (UTC)
 * No, as far as I know he says the same thing in UN3. Anyway, thanks.--LeafShinobi (talk) 21:02, August 6, 2011 (UTC)
 * I already did it.--LeafShinobi (talk) 21:21, August 6, 2011 (UTC)

Re: Itachi and the Mangekyō
In chapter 224, on page 19, Itachi says to Sasuke:

I don't recall him saying anything else about this, but if I'm wrong, please tell me so I can translate that as well. —ShounenSuki (talk 17:18, August 8, 2011 (UTC)
 * Nothing definite is said, any way. In chapter 386, on page 6, Itachi says:
 * And on page 18 of chapter 398, Madara says:
 * It does seem to imply he killed his friend to obtain the Mangekyō Sharingan, but as I said before, it's in no way definite. —ShounenSuki (talk 22:35, August 8, 2011 (UTC)

Re: Different stuff
1. What Itachi said was rather ambiguous. There are two ways it could be interpreted: At this moment, it's too uncertain to say anything about this, but given how there has been zero mention of any new technique and there has been no special emphasis on this part, I'd say that Itachi meant the second option: the eternal Mangekyō Sharingan itself is a new dōjutsu.
 * 1) Itachi meant that the eternal Mangekyō Sharingan gave the wielder another dōjutsu like, for example, Amaterasu or Susanoo, or
 * 2) Itachi meant that the eternal Mangekyō Sharingan itself was a new dōjutsu.

2. She never lived in Kusagakure. At least, that's what I think. Sha no Sho says Karin lived in a, not a bigger like the hidden villages are. Not to mention the fact that Kusagakure still exists and was thus never as destroyed as the databook implies. The way the databook talks about this also implies that Karin was, in fact, very young when this happened. Younger than she was during the chūnin exams.

3. The databook says: The problem here is the verb 食らう, which can be translated as both 'to eat' and 'to receive [an attack]'. Above, I translated it as 'receive [his] wrath'. I don't think it actually means 'to eat', as in that meaning, the word is highly informal and not at all at place in the databook articles. I doubt Jūgo is known for eating humans.

 * Are you aware that Orochimaru and the Sound Four do the same during that very chūnin exam?

 * Yeah, it's rather obvious that the Rinnegan doesn't just grant abilities; they still need to be learnt and mastered, just like any and all other abilities shown in the Naruto world. Nothing comes for free. —ShounenSuki (talk 22:39, August 13, 2011 (UTC)


 * Sorry, didn't see your other questions. Your translation of the song title was good. As for the herb names, could you perhaps point me to where those are named? —ShounenSuki (talk 22:43, August 13, 2011 (UTC)

Hi Seelentau, can you transalte this: Chikage Rokujo into english?--White Flash  (talk )  03:46, August 15, 2011 (UTC)

Re: Kuchiyose: Aian Meiden

 * 1) Is there any reason to believe that technique should have kanji?
 * 2) If you give me a time index of where this technique is use din the episode, I could check it. At any rate, the kanji match those used on the Japanese Wikipedia, although they don't make a lot of sense to me, either.
 * 3) I don't know a lot about the novel, but I believe it was published for the series' tenth anniversary a few years ago. I don't know about the contents, but I do know it was written by the Taiwanese-born, Japanese author . He also wrote the novelisation of the latest Naruto film. He seems to have replaced  as the official Naruto novelist. I cannot really help you with those kanji unless you give me some context.


 * I'd first check if there is any reason to assume the technique has to have kanji. If there isn't, than screw the fact it has been given kanji in the article and simply name it '口寄せ・アイアン・メイデン'.
 * Meh, it'll be fine.
 * Ah, I see. Well then, the translations won't be perfect, as these kanji are highly specific and rather obscure at times, but:

 * Man, I really shouldn't be doing any translation stuff when I know I can't get myself to concentrate well enough ><
 * 儵 = shuku or shū; 忽 = 'kotsu'. Just like 混 and 沌, 儵 and 忽 form a word together:.
 * As for the Rock Staff technique, your problem probably stems from the fact that it doesn't translate to 'rock staff'. If the kanji are correct, the best translation would probably be 'Rock Section Cane'.
 * I'll explain the furigana–kanji thing again at some other time, when I can actually guarantee you some quality. —ShounenSuki (talk 00:46, August 22, 2011 (UTC)


 * Alright, let's give it a shot.
 * When you have a situation of a (kanji) word with furigana, the word itself shows the meaning, while the furigana shows the pronunciation. For example, an author might have a character say 「あの男」 with furigana, but have the actual word be the name of the guy the character is referring to. This way the author can clear up any possible confusion without having to make the dialogue seem forced or anything.
 * How you should translate it is rather difficult, as it depends on the situation. In the situation above — taking Konohamaru as the name — you could translate it as 'that guy, Konohamaru'. With the names of techniques, this usually isn't the ideal solution, though. If possible, you could try and combine the meanings of the kanji and the furigana like this, but when it comes to the names of techniques, this will generally be quite difficult to pull off nicely. This is because, unlike the example above, these techniques don't use furigana to clarify or nuance the meaning, but to give the name a double meaning. You'll generally find that in most cases, simply using the intended pronunciation (the furigana) will serve best, as it does with Lariat and the like.
 * I hope this cleared things up for you. —ShounenSuki (talk 10:34, August 22, 2011 (UTC)
