Re: The sendai catastrophy Kishimoto is OK
Don't you worry about Kishimoto-sensei. It is highly doubtful he would have been anywhere near the worst-affected regions at the time of the earthquake. The earthquake and tsunami mostly affected the Tōhoku region in north–eastern Japan, whereas Kishimoto-sensei lives in Okayama prefecture in the south–west. Of course there isn't a single region in Japan that wasn't affected — the entire country moved by 2.5 metres — but this shouldn't have affected Kishimoto-sensei's hometown any more than a regular earthquake would have done. —ShounenSuki (talk 12:06, March 12, 2011 (UTC)

Yeah, I heard about the tsunami and the earthquake, too! God, I was so freaked out when I heard about that! I thought all of our dearly anime, manga, and video games creators were gone forever! I heard lost of people died in the place and the people in Japan are still in distress.

YamatoTakeru, in Kishimoto-sama's discussion page here on the Narutopedia, you said you sent him an e-mail? What is it? I want to contact Kishimoto-sama, too, to see if he's all right.

Rumors going around that he is dead, despite that I did research about the disaster in Japan. Okayama wasn't affected, according from what I read from this. Although, I heard Tokyo was part of in the diaster. I hope everything in Japan is going to be okay. The US is trying to help them, so that's good.-- Ninja Sheik  02:44, March 13, 2011 (UTC) Now is it clear to everybody that kishimoto maabo san is alive, and that he is not dead. I hate when pepole spread some idiocy from uncomfirmed sorces on the internet. So kishi is alive and end of story endo bicoso(short terarm of end because so)...YamatoTakeru (talk) 13:10, March 31, 2011 (UTC)

Re: Translation of chapter 536 spoiler
With requests like this, you'll often get a better response if you actually phrase your request like a question instead of like a demand. Please often helps too.

Any way, what do you need explained? Remember that spoilers like that are always somewhat vague and confusing. —ShounenSuki (talk 12:56, April 20, 2011 (UTC)


 * I don't use Google Translate or any other machine translator. As a professional translator, that would be like collaborating with the enemy ^^
 * Hiragana and katakana can be learnt in a matter of weeks by an adult. The Japanese themselves learn them as children and even they barely take a year. Kanji, on the other hand, are a lot more difficult and even learning the most-used ones will take years. Dedication, interest, and kanji dictionaries help a lot, though.
 * Naruto has never aired on TV in my country and it certainly wasn't the series that introduced me to anime. That honour is set aside for Digimon, which first aired in the early 2000s over here. Even Digimon wasn't the first anime I ever watched, though. It was merely the first I ever found interesting. Both Pokémon and Yu-Gi-Oh were on before Digimon.
 * I first learnt of Naruto in 2001, but never paid much attention to it until a few years later. Somewhere in 2003 I started watching the anime, but I soon switched to the manga when I heard Gaara had returned in the Sasuke Rescue arc. I stopped watching the anime completely after that abysmal arc with Raiga and Ranmaru.
 * Learning a language is hard and practically impossible without an actual teacher or, at the very least, contact with native speakers. I would never claim to have any level of true fluency, but I'm pretty good at it. My lack of a true teacher can be seen by my lack of speaking skills. Writing and reading I can do pretty well, though. Translation as well, or I would never have achieved my level of Internet fame for it.
 * Also, thank you for the compliment. I am quite attached to my little cow-pengy.

Re: Madara's prey
Madara says he needs to 'steal' a. Who or even what he means by that is anyone's guess. He might mean a replacement for Nagato, but maybe he's talking about a kind of substitute for the Kyūbi and Hachibi. Perhaps he's talking about something completely unknown to us. —ShounenSuki (talk 10:34, April 21, 2011 (UTC)

Series' end

 * Hi! Please don't get angry at me but please don't put anything about its ending. It's like spoiling the end of the series. I am sorry if it's annoying.--Ilnarutoanime (talk) 12:45, April 21, 2011 (UTC)
 * Even if it is an opinion.. ^_^ Have a nice day and I apologize I'm just following the policy.--Ilnarutoanime (talk) 12:46, April 21, 2011 (UTC)

Ah Okay! Because some users are complaining when they get warned. Hehehe! Thanks! Yes you're right. I like Hinata.--Ilnarutoanime (talk) 09:11, April 22, 2011 (UTC) ShIkAnAtA

Re: A few questions
—ShounenSuki (talk 15:20, May 2, 2011 (UTC)
 * 1) He could very well have known dozens of different seals. The question is if any of them would have been sufficient to stop someone of Orochimaru's calibre. The Third Hokage might also have found it fitting to seal Orochimaru with the one technique he was certain Orochimaru didn't know. He already seemed to have accepted he was going to die, might as well do it in style. it also allowed him to seal the souls of the First and Second Hokage.
 * 2) Girls who are outwardly violent, but sweet and caring on the inside are called tsundere in Japan. It's a highly popular archetype in manga. Just as popular, or even more popular, than the Yamato Nadeshiko archetype that Hinata represents.
 * 3) Sasuke might not care about anything, but Naruto does care about Sasuke. You cannot just give up on someone you love. Them going down a dark path should just strengthen your desire to save them.
 * No, he didn't give up on being Hokage, but it isn't his main objective any more. As Naruto said himself, how can he become Hokage if he cannot even save his friends?
 * 1) He said he wanted to keep the manga focussed on ninja, not that he wouldn't allow (powerful) samurai characters. Despite the introduction of samurai, the manga really is still all about ninja, so he didn't really deviate from his own rules there. He also said he didn't want any firearms because they didn't suit ninja, but thought things like gunpowder were all right. The only projectile weapons he eventually introduced were all based on previously established ninja skills, so I guess that does make it all right. He never introduced true firearms or anything.

Re: Nagato
I'm sure Nagato was very upset with that, but I'm pretty sure Yahiko's death on its own was enough to make Nagato consider this one of his two greatest pains in life. —ShounenSuki (talk 18:02, May 8, 2011 (UTC)

Re: Hinata danger
Are you okay? You seem rather anxious...

I'm not quite sure what your theory is, exactly, but you seem to be wondering if Kabuto might just decide to revive the late shinobigashira who tried to kidnap Hinata all those years ago. That's actually not that far-fetched, to be honest. We might not know much about him, but he held the second-highest rank attainable in Kumogakure. He was only one step from being the Raikage, really. I wouldn't be surprised if he was of the same calibre as the Sannin, or at least Kakashi.

Also, it's Mother's Day. I was visiting my grandmother's for most of the day. —ShounenSuki (talk 18:02, May 8, 2011 (UTC) He was a jeark and evil man who went so low that he tryed to kidnap an innocent 3 years girl from her bed to do her who knows what maybe he tred to replace his lost right eye with one of Hinata's eyes. I was thinking of him because smart people think of their enemys(an enemy of hinata is mine enemy). He was killed by Hiashi sama, and we don't know what his power are because honestly he was trying to escape but what I don't get is if he is Head ninja wasn't he able to run away faster as Kumo spectators did. Second thing kishimoto maybe didn't even wanted him at begining to be from Kumogakure (his flacjacket), he maybe later decidet that. Only whats make logic is he made him kidnapt Hinata as fact that he is a Cloud ninja and cloud stops sun from sending rays on earth so cloud stops sun to create sunny area what Hinata's name mean. Maybe he had some skills like making people sleep because when he took Hinata from her bed she was more than asleep. His right eye was probably kishimots rule for distingwishing good from bad guy because kakashi's covered eye is left and his is right, and his beard maybe should show that he is important to resemble like third who had beard because he is Head ninja. I wonder who is now head ninja. Also if he was powerful I don't think he would let get killED so easy. Probably he was some kid of ambasador or was good only in strategy and in thinking plans, because if he was strong as sanin and kakashi he wouldn't loose from Hiashi who is only good in taijutsu.Anyway I am glad he died and (call me evil) I am only sad he wasn't captured alive and was given to Ibiki to treatman, but he would get out easyly.Also I am sorry that I am not an naruto caracter because I wanted to kill that jerak by my own hands because Hinata's bad life starts with him...178.223.58.237 (talk) 19:41, May 8, 2011 (UTC)


 * Evil is relative. What he did was in the best interests of his village. It has been made pretty clear that he was working under the orders of the Raikage. There's nothing that says he wanted to implant the Byakugan into himself. Calling him evil is rather short-sighted, especially considering the circumstances. They are still shinobi, after all. Deception and trickery is what they do.
 * His strength should speak for itself. You don't get to such a high rank without having the power to justify it. He was the highest-ranking shinobi in Kumogakure, save for the Raikage himself. That's not something to take lightly. He was killed by the highly powerful head of one of the most powerful shinobi clans known and most likely taken by surprise.
 * And Hinata's bad life most certainly did not start with him. her bad life started with her being a weak shinobi born as the heiress to one of the most prestigious and powerful shinobi clans. Neji's bad life started with him. —ShounenSuki (talk 20:14, May 8, 2011 (UTC)


 * This subject is really dear to you, isn't it?
 * Again, evil is relative. He was trying to make his village stronger by obtaining the opponent's secrets. This wouldn't even be considered evil in our world, just a normal fact of life. The only thing that makes it anywhere near evil is that he had to kidnap a human being to do so, but given the world they live in, this isn't that evil either. Konoha had no problems possibly destroying the live of a young girl by sealing a monster inside of her, nor do they have any qualms about sending young children to war. Each and every village has done things that could be considered evil, but were considered normal at the time and sometimes are still considered normal within the Narutoverse. This doesn't make the individuals who committed those acts evil. We don't know the shinobigashira's motivation, nor whether or not he had any problems fulfilling his mission. Maybe he was against it, but was left no choice in the end.
 * We know nothing about the shinobigashira's abilities. We were never shown the fight in the manga, nor were we told anything about it, other than that Hiashi eventually won. For all we know, they could have destroyed half of Konoha during the process. Don't underestimate Hiashi prowess, by the way. He's an extremely powerful shinobi in his own right. You're downgrading his abilities to make the shinobigashira look bad. That isn't quite fair.
 * Kishimoto-sensei doesn't "folowsAkira Toriyamas rule of making yesterdays vilains into good guys," by the way. Kishimoto-sensei makes realistic, believable villains with their own motivations and beliefs. Itachi was a good guy since the beginning. Gaara was turned good (and bad) in a believable manner. Orochimaru is still as evil as he was in the beginning, as is Madara. Kabuto only turned more and more evil. Kakuzu, Deidara, and Hidan were never turned good in any way, either. Sometimes switching sides fits, sometimes it doesn't.
 * Hinata is weak by any standards, really. You cannot call a girl who is weaker than her five-years-younger sister anything other than weak. Hinata at age twelve and with full Academy education was weaker than a seven-year-old Hanabi with no formal training. You cannot possibly consider her anything other than weak. She has her own abilities and strengths, but as a shinobi she's weak. At least, she used to be. She got better over time and as she's now fighting alongside Neji and doing a good job, she's probably at least average by now.
 * I'm not approving of the shinobigashira's actions, but I'm not straight out condemning them either. I'm too realistic for that. Sometimes, evil deeds are necessary for the survival and prosperity of your country. No country is free of blame, be it fictional or real.
 * Sakura has major flaws in her personality, I'll agree to that. Of all the characters in Naruto, I only dislike two characters more than her. Hinata, on the other hand, is in my top ten favourite female characters. Still, you can't deny Hinata has her own fair share of personality flaws. She has little to no self-confidence, for one. Even after desperately confessing her love in what she must have thought was her dying moment, she never confronted Naruto again, despite having ample opportunity to do so. Naruto is an idiot for not confronting her himself, but he had other things on his mind. Hinata has no such excuse.
 * —ShounenSuki (talk 08:31, May 9, 2011 (UTC)
 * I never said Hinata was a bad shinobi. On the contrary, as both a shinobi and a human being, Hinata is amazing. She's willing to sacrifice herself, capable of knowing her own weaknesses and strengths and improving herself, kind... I adore Hinata, but none of this takes away from the fact that, as all human beings, she does have flaws. —ShounenSuki (talk 11:07, May 10, 2011 (UTC)

Re: Byakugan only doijutsu in joint army and konoha's possesion
It's quite unlikely that the Byakugan, Sharingan, and Rinnegan are the only dōjutsu, making any statement about who has how many of what dōjutsu rather speculative.

That said, Madara's side has, at least, all three Great Dōjutsu. The Allies' side has, at least, the Byakugan and Sharingan. —ShounenSuki (talk 21:35, May 22, 2011 (UTC)

Re: Madara's rank in Akatsuki
—ShounenSuki (talk 00:54, May 30, 2011 (UTC)
 * 1) I doubt Akatsuki as it is now works with any kind of ranking system. It wouldn't really serve much use.
 * 2) It could very well be that Kishimoto-sensei was influenced by the clone army from Star Wars. I know he based chakra at least partly on the Force; He at least compared the two.
 * 3) I've never read anything about Kishimoto-sensei's favourite book. I do know he prefers gaming and films, with Dragon Quest being one of his favourite game series. Although he has referenced Journey to the West many times by now, I wouldn't take that as any indication of him liking this story. Journey to the West is as well-known and oft-referenced as the Arthurian legends or Romeo and Juliet in the English-speaking world.


 * I think you misunderstood me. I didn't say Journey to the West was Arthurian. I compared its popularity to the Arthurian legends in the West. —ShounenSuki (talk 14:56, May 30, 2011 (UTC)

Re: Rikudo senins wife
Yeah, he must have had a wife. Or a lover. Or a concubine. or a one-night stand. Or a rape victim. Or a surrogate mother. Or an adoption agency. Of course, he could also have had multiple of the before-mentioned. Or he could have created his sons with his Yin-Yang Release. Or he could have been the victim of mpreg. Or they could have come about through some other magical means. None of which are in any way rare in real-life mythology and fiction, or even in real-life in general with most cases. —ShounenSuki (talk 20:42, May 31, 2011 (UTC)


 * You have problems with the term 'mpreg'? What are you doing on the internet? Really, male pregnancy is tame compared to what some mythologies have conjured up. In Greek mythology, Zeus gave birth to Athena by having his head cleaved open with an axe.
 * The point I was trying to make, though, is that given the Rikudō Sennin's legendary status and abilities, we cannot say with any certainty he even had a woman he made pregnant. —ShounenSuki (talk 12:54, June 1, 2011 (UTC)


 * No internet slang any more? I'll do my best. Mpreg is still okay then, though, as the term comes from 1960s Star Trek fanfiction magazines. The term is older than the internet ^^
 * And I never meant to seriously imply I thought mpreg would be a viable possibility. (Although it's not as improbable as you might think.) I just wanted to point out that we cannot just assume the Rikudō Sennin had a wife.
 * Also: futanari, tentacle rape, scat, snuff, bestiality, necrophilia... Trust me, it's not the internet that's terrifying. Real life has always been first and will always be worse. —ShounenSuki (talk 13:16, June 1, 2011 (UTC)


 * Of course I said it on purpose. You're being very sensitive and naive. Those aren't good qualities for someone trying to survive in this modern world, or on the internet. You cannot possibly shield yourself from everything you deem scary. The best thing to do is to accept things like this exist and simply don't pay attention to them.
 * Bu~t we're getting off-track. I hope you understand what I was trying to say with my original post. There is no reason the Rikudō Sennin should have had a wife. —ShounenSuki (talk 14:20, June 1, 2011 (UTC)


 * You think this is an apocalyptic world without moral values? Don't make me laugh. The things I mentioned and many more 'amoral' things have been more than abundant since the dawn of time, throughout any and all cultures and civilisations and even among many different species. If this is an apocalyptic world without moral values, it became one a hundred millennia ago.
 * Also, I don't care about a respected administrator. I am here only for fun and won't do anything that would ruin that fun for me. I became a respected administrator because my general behaviour here has warranted that respect and title. My little conversation with you won't change that. Oh, and don't just delete messages from your talk page. It's against user policy. —ShounenSuki (talk 00:13, June 2, 2011 (UTC)

Re: Sasuke and Naruto distance relatives
Inbreeding is only dangerous when it is done with very close relatives (siblings, parents) and even then only when it's done across multiple generations. In other words, if you have like, eight generations of siblings having children together, then things start to get dangerous. Even then, it's only when offspring with birth defects are allowed to continue breeding. If not, it can actually lead to less birth defects over time.

So unless Mito and Hashirama were brother and sister, there's nothing even remotely dangerous about their marriage. —ShounenSuki (talk 20:47, May 31, 2011 (UTC)

Re: Reason why people like Hinata
Yes, you are right, and I always thought of all the protagonists were strong characters in the Naruto series. Unlike ShounenSuki-senpai, I also try to watch the anime ones, because for me it's good to watch fights than to look on the pictures in the Manga. I can say she has better chakra control than Sakura because of her clan, which is used to their chakra-releasing techniques. --Ilnarutoanime 11:40, June 9, 2011 (UTC)


 * Oi oi oi! Don't go around misunderstanding my words. First of all, I actually rather like Hinata's character, although she certainly isn't my favourite character. She is weak, though. Physically and mentally to a certain degree. Physically speaking, there should be no denying it. She's considered weaker than Hanabi and although she's not bad, she certainly isn't the strongest kunoichi alive. Her apparent strengths and weaknesses make her better suited for a supporting role, rather than a fighting role.
 * Mentally, she isn't one of the strongest either. Her lack of self-esteem and shyness are almost crippling. Well, it was. See, this is where her real strength lies. Almost more so than even Naruto, Hinata refuses to give up. This is what makes her interesting as a character. She might not have started out with much, but thanks to this trait, she can end up as one of the elite shinobi of Konoha. If circumstances allow for it, that is. Her father still seems to prefer others over her, although even he has faith in her abilities now. Her position also makes it difficult for her to reach her full potential, being quite guarded and burdened by it. The worst thing for her really is her constant living in the shadows of people like Neji, Hiashi, and Hanabi. These three are very good and strong, worsening Hinata's lack of self-esteem even more.
 * Still, even this she seems to be overcoming. She's brave and persistent, and because of this, she becomes strong and able to conquer any of her weak points. —ShounenSuki (talk 12:28, June 9, 2011 (UTC)
 * I agree with you, ShounenSuki-senpai. That's the worse for her since she's in the shadow of her family, (particularly Neji and Hiashi;I don't think Hanabi so), which is stronger than her. But I guess she isn't that weak anymore (like when she and Hanabi spar), since she was older now, and her Gentle Step Twin Lion Fists. ^_^ --Ilnarutoanime 12:54, June 9, 2011 (UTC)
 * It's a shame we haven't seen Hanabi recently. I would love to see how her skills match up to Hinata's. If Hanabi is anywhere near an average shinobi and not a genius like Neji, it's easily possible for Hinata to become better than her. If Hanabi is also a genius, things will get a lot more difficult for Hinata, though.—ShounenSuki (talk 13:38, June 9, 2011 (UTC)
 * Oh yeah! I'm waiting for her to show her skills. I hope Kishimoto wouldn't make Hinata's life that miserable, and [{ [Neji >(stronger than) Hinata > (stronger than) Hanabi}] what you've said that Hanabi was not a genius like Neji. ^_^ --Ilnarutoanime 13:53, June 9, 2011 (UTC)
 * We're still waiting for confirmation on whether or not Hinata has already surpassed her sister.
 * Kishimoto-sensei made Hinata's life this way for a reason. If there's one thing he's good at, it's characterisation. He can make the most interesting characters, really. I'm sure if Hinata and Hanabi were boys, their story could easily have been the plot to a moderately popular shōnen manga. The entire concept behind the Hyūga family is easily interesting enough to support its own story. —ShounenSuki (talk 18:02, June 9, 2011 (UTC)
 * @ShounenSuki
 * Yeah, you're right.
 * @YamatoTakeru
 * I suggest you try to edit some articles. We're same I also didn't know that they are over 542 chapters and 215 episodes, I almost watched the whole Naruto Shippūden except Sasuke and Sai Arc and Itachi Pursuit Arc. We view characters different, because we people have different look of how you like characters. But her eye techniques made her stronger. You're right about the pursuers of their powers. But Naruto without the Nine-Tails, Minato would once again face that threat but his reign will be longer. I wonder what will happen to a story without antagonist. I tried to make one but it's rather a short story. I think in order for a story to be longer, the authors should make something confusing part, like for Zetsu, we readers were confused about what will happen next (If I misunderstood it I apologize) ^_^ --Ilnarutoanime 15:37, June 10, 2011 (UTC)

Re: Head ninja of Kumogakure
I'm pretty sure the shinobigashira was meant to be from Kumogakure from the very beginning. At that point in time, Kishimoto-sensei simply hadn't thought of seperate names for the majot villages and countries yet. In chapter 9, the countries are called the Land of Leaves, the Land of Mist, the Land of Clouds, the Land of Sand, and the Land of Rocks. In other words, they shared their names with their respective villages. This wasn't changed until later on and even then it took a while for the actual names to stick.

Oh, and I loved Jadzia Dax as a character. She was the most awesome character from DS9, but that doesn't mean I wanted to get it on with her. Dr Bashir had that honour. —ShounenSuki (talk 22:51, June 20, 2011 (UTC)

Re: Abouth wikipedia
I have to admit that art isn't my strongest point. I'm afraid I don't quite know who Vincent van Eyck is. (Don't worry about the spelling errors. I understood what you meant.) Could you perhaps link me to some of his work? —ShounenSuki (talk 20:00, June 24, 2011 (UTC)
 * You didn't just get his first name wrong. Jan van Eyck is neither a Renaissance painter (although he a great influence on the later, true Renaissance painters) nor a Dutchman. (He was from what is now Flanders, the Dutch-speaking region of Belgium). He's a great painter, though. I am actually familiar with his art. —ShounenSuki (talk 20:33, June 24, 2011 (UTC)
