Anime and Manga

Well, in any case, let's rephrase what happened for the last two weeks:

The Shinobi alliance of all the Ninja countries is going to war against Kabuto, Madara and their powerful army of dead bodies of all those legendary Shinobi who died in famous battles. Among those corpses are Akatsuki members like Uchiha Itachi, Sasori, Deidara, Kakuzu, Hidan, even Asuma, and Zabusa.

As soon as Gara has ended his heart overwhelming speech, everybody is motivated and going at it now...

A clash between the living and the dead, oh yeah, that's gonna be a lot of fun...

I think it will take a long time until we can finally enjoy the long awaited epic destined battle between Naruto and Sasuke.

Naruto has just learned to control his Kyuubi powers, and Sasuke is also still in the process of adjusting the new Sharingan Eyes of his deceased brother.

The war between the Konoha alliances and the corpse army has just begun, and I assume we will see a lot of action between old friends and rivals and of course flashbacks without ends which will take at least one or two more years of artwork.

I think Kabuto has more tricks under his sleeves than we may give him credit for to catch Naruto, the most powerful Jinchuriki. I mean he must get caught somehow or some way, or otherwise we may never see the ten tailed beast which Madara has mentioned.

If Killerbee's and Naruto's Bijuu will ever get drawn out, Killerbee would die for sure, but Naruto would somehow survive and then.,...

.... maybe he would have to find a new way to become powerful without any form of Bijuu power.....

It's gonna be a heck of a fight between the Ninja alliance and the corpses which will definitely take a long time until we can enjoy the long awaited Naruto vs Sasuke fight.

Standing between them are Kabuto and Uchiha Madara who have their own agendas to settle first. Madara mistrusts Kabuto, which is really understandable even after Kabuto has explained some details about his Impure soul resurrection techniques. No one wants to create an opening that could overwhelm one another.

Well, enough talk about that, I wanna get straight to my assumption...

My guess is Killerbee will definitely die when he's caught and his Bijuu is extracted from his body, and Naruto somehow would be the only survivor. It must be!!!!

Well, first of all,... since Madara mentioned about his plan to resurrect the ten tailed beast, Kishimoto is definitely aware of the fact that fans around the world, including us, are so anxious to see it in action. So we will definitely see it, and this can only happen when Akatsuki has extracted all of the Bijuus. Secondly, since Naruto is the hero of this manga, it would be a shame to let him die.

There is one reason why I believe why Naruto would survive after an extraction:

You must take following into consideration:... among all the Jinchurikis,...

### Naruto is the youngest one out of all of them

Being able to live with the most powerful Bijuu since the day he was born and survive, is a wonder of the Ninja World. Everybody else would have died. He suffered with it, fought with its powers, he struggled a lot to constrain its powers and getting control it,... until the day he met his parents' spirits in his unconscious state, and gained more motivation and power of love and finally move on with it.... with some help of Killerbee his current master. Now you see, this is Naruto's ultimate life as a Shinobi, from the rough old days until the days of his glory. Now Naruto has gained that 6 path Ninja power and that's a heck of a power in comparison to the rest of Konoha Ninjas. And he's still learning new techniques until now.

I think, that if the nine tailed fox is really getting extracted from him, he might even see his parents' spirits again who would tell him something like "Believe in yourself, value your life and become powerful of your own!!!" .... something like that, because.... one of these days Naruto must depart with the vicious powers of the Nine tailed beast for good.

@elleztim: Well, I mean... take into consideration that the Ten tailed beast was already mentioned by Madara earlier in his declaration of war at the Ninja alliance summit, there are fans around the world who would love to see what it would look like. So, practically all Bijuus must be extracted in order for Madara to evoke the Juubi.

And even with Naruto and Sasuke becoming more powerful, the opposition isn't any group of weaklings. They are dealing with very experienced old school Shinobi who have old tricks under their sleeves.

Let's hope that Kishimoto and all the other Mangaka are safe first before we move on to our own desires...

Well the thing is, with all those corpses of legendary and deceased Shinobi, Kishimoto obviously wants to give the other Naruto characters the chance to shine, or otherwise small fan communities of those characters would never get a chance to see them in Action.

And by the way, I haven't seen Rock Lee, Gai Sensei and even Neiji Hyuga in action, though I still consider them formidable fighters. Well as a fan of these three characters, I hope that that they get a chance again to show their skills and advanced Taijutsu hand to hand combats and Dynamic Entries one more time.

You know all that war battle episodes are a time killer for the main event that is not gonna come any time sooner. And,... as I said before, would you guys wanna see all the Bijuus extracted in order to for them to be formed as the ten tailed Beast, the Juubi??? Wouldn't it kick ass to see that???? With Naruto and Sasuke, after a ferocious battle against each other, joining forces and fighting that beast together and one of them sacrificing himself for the other...????

Well all the Naruto Characters need a reason to be in the action. And since there are so many Kishimoto will just fill'em in into one of those war fights with some past connections.

I mean whatever connection Gai and Rock Lee have with any of those deceased Shinobi, he will put in; whatever past connection Tenten has with some of any other Shinobi, it will be thrown in; I think Neiji's deceased father, uncle or whoever of those two have died earlier in this very first arc, is more likely to appear next. Uh,... no I guess it was Neiji's uncle who died, not his father, actually Hinata's father. But anyhow, I mean, Neiji's appearance will be very interesting to see, since IMO he was one of the most talented and gifted, skillful and spectacular Shinobi to watch in this series, and hasn't been in action for a long time.

No, man,... I think now every single character will have a fight, a few of those elder generation and Kages will definitely die saving some of their friends, sons, daughters, younger SHinobi friends or whoever.

Well, as a Bruce Lee fan, of course, I hope, we will see Rock Lee in Action one more time. Maybe he has another ace under his sleeve. A new advanced and ultra speed form of Taijutsu Hand to hand combat. Yes, as you already mentioned, Rock Lee and Gai Sensei were two of a kind, with their specialization in Hand to Hand combat. The relationship between those two was so captivating in the first Arcs in the early days.

I remember quite well that Rock Lee has opened up five gates of the Lotus attack, something like that, and Gai later one opened eight gates. And the thing with Rock Lee since he was still a 12 year old Genin Kid could of course not bear the physical power boost by opening those 5 Lotus gates within his chakra vessels, and consequently he lost to Gara.

But now that he grew up, he should have gained more physical strength to withstand more physical burden of those Lotus gates, so practically he should be able to open more Lotus power gates. But, yeah, as a kid Rock Lee was very injury prone, but had the "heart of a champion"... That's what made him so special.

I hope we will see Rock Lee one more time. I can't recall that him and Gai have any connection to some legendary deceased Shinobi of any countries. I cannot recall Gai having any connection to anyone other than Kakashi. So we'll see, what or whether Kishimoto decides to include those two extraordinary Taijutsu specialist in the current arc...
