Eh that explains Kabuto's absence, he was training with the equivalent of the toad sage, wonder how many more sages they are in the world

It's supposed to be more "a professor of snakes" but the translation of Dr.Snakes is rather silly.

Dr Snakes??

At first I thought the translator was trolling us all hard. Probably get a much better translation in coming days.

Okay so....

Kabuto is a genetic mutant when does he get a turtle shell o.o;

Seriously, that chapter was I had a hard time reading it. Cuz frankly. They had time to put genjustu on him before he covered his eyes. Talk no Jutsu - killing everything

He's like Doc Ock, but with snakes!

Has Ryuchidou (or whatever) ever been mentioned before? Or was it just pulled out of his ass for this moment

Meh, I like the Snake Sage idea. Dragon is stretching it a bit, but I'll take it. A much better power boost than some other ones I've seen lately.

I don't really expect to see this trash Kabutomaru last really long.

Come on guys, it's a translation. I'm sure the actual dialogue is a lot less corny and sounds better then "dr snakes", complain about the translation if you like but to complain about the dialogue without reading the actual original dialogue is silly.

Also dragon lore is tied in with snakes, some ancient dragons are portrayed like snakes. Look at chinese dragons.

Sharingan can see chakra through things.

We learn that toad's aren't the only one's that teach or reach sage mode, not a shock or illegitimate, just a pretty cool thing.

And yea, they have to defeat him without killing him. That's not a plot hole either cloud. What on earth would make that a plot hole? Do you know what a plot hole is?

There's really no plot holes in this at all.

So if Tsunade trained with the Slug Sage she can become a slug in sage mode? D:
Seems legit
Although, I don't mind the followup. The talk is killing me though.

not neccsarily, shed need a large amount of Chakra to pull it off Kabu can do it cause of Jyugas special ability to take in Nature chakra

During the Shunin exam he took out an Oto ninja by making her smash her head in a wall, while he, only having the ground behind him, avoided all damage. He also immobilized 7 or 8 Oto ninjas during the invasion and threw kunais at all of them, that'd hurt if they all connected and he'd take damage. And he's not the sacrificing type.


and he didnt take any damage becuase he knew there was another member who would block his shurinkan and reveal where he was so he could try to trap them all

So far the biggest ridicolous plothole is that somehow impure world resurrection will continue forever if kabuto dies (????) so they have to capture him alive and can't kill him with insta kill amaterasu. So the only way to prevent amaterasu from being imbalanced is basically create situations where you can't kill the character. Amazingly bad.


Sasuke fired his super Amaterasu arrow, and Kabutos not dead, why? oh ya cause he can fucking dodge

and Amaterasu is worthless against Kabuto cause hell just block it with his arm, cut his arm off (or turn it into water or something) thenn regrow it

BOOM a perfect anti-Amaterasu strategy

also people are way over exagerating the whole dragon thing, did you see any dragons on the mountain? no? thats because hes using a metaphor hes not a literal dragon

You need stillness to gather energy for the sage arts. So use it up and he can't regenerate. Should be beatable right?

Dragons in East Asian mythology are pretty snakelike, though. They're not like dragons in Western mythology.

you forget, with Jyuugos cells he can gather nature energy at will, its like hes got the toads fused into his body

and he has shown he has plenty of ability to easily hide

and hes got all the snakes fused in his body to do the whole stillness part

so theres no way to prevent him from using his Sage Arts

In Chinese mythology snakes are baby dragons. Naruto draws a ton of its inspiration from Chinese mythology. Simple.

Guys, try to remember there were 3 sages. They made a big deal about it before in the manga with Jaraiya, Tusnade, and Orochimaru all being sennin.

Jaraiya dead, Naruto replaces him. FROG SAGE (good)
Orochimaru dead, Kabuto replaces him. SNAKE SAGE (evil)
Tsunade... probably will be replaced by Sakura but neither of them are dying any time soon lol SLUG SAGE (neutral healer)

I don't think sage mode, per se, will own susanoo. Maybe sage mode + oro's special cells + kabuto's talent + Kishimoto-deusex-no-jutsu will own susanoo.

Oh, and the fact that they are trying not to kill kabuto.
