By the way, if you already have read the Naruto Manga 469, then I think you already have learned that Sakura finally hugged Naruto.

Yes, for the first time, I think (if I was not wrong), Sakura hugged Naruto like this. There were times that Naruto tried to do this to Sakura but it only ended up to the worst situation like what you’ve seen on the image embeded at my post, “Love Sakura.”

It might just be a show because Sakura and the other friends of Naruto wanted Naruto to stop chasing for Sasuke.

But I feel that Sakura really loves Naruto and cared for her. Here’s the dialogue of Sakura and Naruto:

• Sakura: Naruto, can you just forget the promises we made before? And please stop chasing Sasuke-kun too.
• Naruto: Sakura! Why did you suddenly changed your mind?
• Sakura: Sasuke-kun has just moving farther away from me Naruto.  But you’re always here beside me… always here to comfort me. I noticed all these things and I know you Naruto. You’re the hero who protected the whole village. You may pull pranks and you’d been a dropout once, but you spent all your time to become a more wonderful and admirable person. While Sasuke just keep committing crimes and becoming a different person that I want. Naruto, you gave me peace from the bottom of my heart.

On the Naruto Manga 459 page 14, Sakura revealed to her friends that Naruto is inlove with her. That’s the reason why Sakura made herself incharge in convincing Naruto to stop chasing for Sasuke-kun.

Ahhh Wait…

When Sakura embraced Naruto as revealed by the Naruto Manga 469, it was not actually the first time to happened because Sakura embraced Naruto in Naruto Manga chapter 450 at page 6. That was the time when Naruto returned to Konoha after the long talk with Pain.

We already learned that Nagato’s parents were mistaken by the Konoha ninjas as enemies and killed them.

Nagato’s parents were not ninjas. So, Nagato did not expect anything special to him. However, after the killing of his parents Nagato’s power emerged and suddenly killed the two Konoha ninjas who killed his parents.

He started to wander from place to place just to survive until he met Tiny, a dog. And the day came that He and Tiny met Konan and Yahiko.

Konan and Yahiko were like him, an orphan. They both became Nagato’s friends.

In order to survive, the three orphan wander from place to place asking for alms, they stole goods and did everything they thought were best for them. Yahiko acted as their leader.

Yahiko’s dream is only one, to be on the top of the world so that he can do everything he want and that he wanted to stop the wars.

One day, the three kids with Tiny was hit by something from the battle that happened nearby. The battle was engaged by the three great ninja of Konoha (Jiraiya, Tsunade and Orochimaru) fighting against the Kage of the Rain Country, Hanzo.

Tiny was killed and the three kids went away to avoid being hit anything from the battle.

Thinking of the battle, Yahiko’s dream of becoming on the top of the world became more intense. That dream became the dream of Nagato too.

On the next chapter will learn more about Nagato’s story.

And with this latest chapter of Naruto Manga, 444, Naruto told Nagato his purpose in going near to him (Nagato):  (1) Naruto wants to talk to Nagato especially that he’s also an apprentice of Jiraiya-Sama. (2) Naruto wants to find out what he  will feel in meeting Nagato.

So, what Naruto feel?

Naruto hate Nagato so much and he can’t forgive Nagato on what he did to Jiraiya-Sama and to Konoha. He want to kill Nagato.

But when he’s on his way to attack Nagato he  remembered what Jiraiya-Sama told him on a thought that the day will come when people understand each other… That would be the time of Peace… The Peace that Jiraiya believed.

So, he (Naruto) stopped and started to talk again to Nagato.

Now, Naruto has finally understand what Jiraiya-Sama taught him. And just like what Jiraiya believed, Naruto finally found the answer by himself regarding on how to attain peace.

Nagato is also interested of that answer. He wants to hear it from Naruto. But Naruto gave a deal that he (Naruto) would tell him (Nagato) the answer if he would tell him (Naruto) his story why he turn into a bad one when in fact he (Nagato) is a former apprentice of Jiraiya-Sama.

Nagato took the deal.

Nagato told Naruto that he has two sources of his Pain. And one of it is the death of his parents.

According to Nagato, his parents were killed by the ninjas from Konoha who mistook his parents as enemies. Nagato’s family were not ninja after all. And because of that incident, hatred exist on his heart.

The other source of his hatred will be told on the next chapter of Naruto Manga.

By this new chapter (443) released completely scanlated to English, Naruto took off the chakra receiver from the last body of Pain while the words of Pain about peace is still clear on Naruto’s mind.

Pain: We both want the same thing. We both want peace that Jiraiya spoke about. You and I are the same. We both are working for our own justice. You are working for your own justice and I am doing for mine. Do you understand Pain now? You can’t understand pain if you’ll not try to feel it. But not because you understand them you’ll agree with it. That’s the truth.? And so, it becomes a chain of hatred.? And that how the world of ninja is. Ninja is the world of hatred.

That’s the thought of Pain that leads Naruto to a plan to talk to the real Pain. Whatever is his plan, it’s not revealed on this chapter (443). But I’m sure his plan will give Konoha and the Rain Country a better relationship just like what happened to the Sand Village and the Konoha.

It will be a talk of two great warriors, the 6th Hokage of Konoha and the concurrent kage of the Rain Country, who are both students of Jiriaya-Sama.

Naruto’s characteristic is really amazing.

The Fourth Hokage revealed to Naruto that the 9 tailed fox was controlled by a very strong ninja when it attacked the village 16 years ago.

The Fourth Hokage was very smart then. He knew that the man controlling the fox was very much strong and no one could defeat him especially if he was still in control of the Fox demon. So, he’s decision was to capture the Fox and sealed it at Naruto.

Sealing the Fox demon to Naruto has to advantages:

1. To minimize the strength and power of the man who controlled the Fox.
2. So that the power of the Fox can be used by Naruto against the said man.

In other words, the real enemy of Konoha is the man who controlled the Fox. And according to the Fourth Hokage, that man is a member of Konoha who wears mask.

And according to the old chapter of Naruto Manga, the Akatsuki member who wears mask is Madara.

Madara according to the Fourth Hokage is just using Pain and Pain’s hatred against Konoha.

Defeat of Pain

The next few chapters of the Naruto Manga will tell us how Naruto ended the life of Pain. I’m sure for that.

Remember that Pain is already at its limit. But Naruto was revived again with his full power in the Safe Mode.

Naruto is quite smart in fighting the Pains especially in using the Sage technique. But fighting the Pains without knowing his real personality and technique is quite absord and will only end up to nothing but loss.

Just like what Jiraiya experienced while fighting Pain, soon as Naruto learned that the real Pain is just hiding somewhere and that those six bodies where just puppets, Naruto is on its limits already and is subject to the power and control of Pain.

How sad isn’t it? If only I can tell Naruto that the brain and Chakra source of Pain is in the Rain Country, maybe I could be of great help to the Konoha Village.

It was not revealed on the previous Naruto Manga how did Naruto resolve the problem of using the Sage Mode while his moving because as we already knew, to be in the Sage Mode, Naruto should stay relax to absorb the environment’s power.. Jiraiya-Sama resolved this by uniting his body to that of the Sage frog. Those frogs will be the one who will perform the Sage Mode while Jiraiya-Sama moves.

However, in Naruto’s situation, the frogs couldn’t unite with him because of the Kyuubi inside Naruto.

However, the recent Naruto Manga, chapter 433, revealed that Naruto did it by using his clones.

Before Naruto went into Konoha, he left two of his clones. This clones perform the Sage Technique. When Naruto wanted to be in Sage Mode even if he’s currently in a battle, he would summon the clone who is performing the Sage technique then by releasing the summoned clone, the Sage Mode will be automatically transferred to the Original Naruto.

This idea is totally out of my thought. But Naruto proved that for him there will be no limit. He’s really the current strongest Shinobi in Konoha.

Naruto vs Pain

Naruto finally figured out how the six paths of Pain work. When there were only 3 bodies of Pain left, Naruto found out that the real body of Nagato is used for watching the moves of the enemy. The Pain that positions in front is the one who will absorb or repeal the technique used by Naruto. And the Pain that positions at the farthest back is the one who is capable of reviving the destroyed body of Pain.

After figuring out how this Paths of Pain work, Naruto immediately found a way to defeat Pain, this is by destroying the Pain in the front and other Pain in the back. Naruto sent his clone at front by transforming into shuriken and the other Naruto with the Rasengan went at the back.

I was still wondering where did the other Naruto went into. What I noticed is that Naruto has three bodies too: 2 Clones and 1 original.

I assume that the original Naruto is the one with the Rasengan and the one in front is just a Naruto clone. So, where’s the third?

In the last part of the Naruto Manga chapter 433, it was shown that two of Pain’s bodies would be going to be destroyed leaving the original body of Nagato.

However, the problem is Pain is already at its God Realm mode. So, what will happen next when Naruto is also at the Sage Mode?

The Naruto Manga chapter 434 will be much interesting.
