the nara clan would win but it would take a little time but in the end they would end up the victors

Right now he might have an idea at what he's attempting, so maybe in later chapters he'll reveal a plan to prevent it, but I think Danzou will stay Hokage anyways. Danzou becoming Hokage seems like it's been ste up, so when Sasuke comes to destroy Konoha he won't be fighting the good guys, but Danzou who's considered a bad guy which will make way for his redemption.

Them having similiar ideals seems like a given, them coming from Konha and believing in thw will of fire and all. It wouldn't be too far fetched to believe they were friends. They might have even been ANBU buddies back in the day. It was revealed Choza was one of Kakashi's ANBU teammate.

Yeah, 449 and 450 were rushed. Nagato's redemption was too sudden for a guy who spent his whole life trying to bring peace to the world. I'msure the anime will lenghten it, they like to bring in some filler scenes and they will probably want to make it more believeable. They do have a lot of possibilities for fillers in that arc, like the rookies unfinished fights. Yeah, Shikamaru is his current favorite. First it was Sasuke, then Naruto, and it's currently Shikamaru. Maybe becuase of that his dad will play a bigger role. Shikaku does seem to know more than he lets on, he even knew about Sage Mode while other people seem ignorant about it. If he does object Danzou does seem he'll have a counter argument.

Yeah, it's been a pretty good discussion.

So many redemption opportunities...I think Kishimoto is rooting for Sasuke's acceptance back into the village -- to be quite honest. I wouldn't be too sad (Heck, not sad at all, really) if Danzou was killed by Sasuke. I can't remember if Danzou had anything to do with the whole planned massacre. I just remember Itachi threatening that he would tell Konoha everything, if Danzou pushed the envelope. I'd say Kishimoto is trying to break it down and focus the story more on either Danzou and his new title or Sasuke's return.

I don't know if Kakashi would be willingly to call up another vote, even though Shikaku would probably fulfill that role and still stay in character. Shikaku seems more of the person who would call out things, even if it were to make it obvious and possibly put him in danger, just for the sake of the welfare of his village. I'm interested to see though how Danzou will change things. I wouldn't be surprised if he were to take Shikaku out if he were to actually speak up. I would honestly hope that it wouldn't happen, but we know Danzou is greedy and dangerous enough to try for it.

Ahhh...I think I forgot who Choza is...The name is familiar, but it'll probably come to mind in a moment. Kakashi definitely has a lot of allies from ANBU, which even more so strengthens his well-known respected figure. (I kind of wonder if Kakashi and Itachi ever worked together...Hmm, that'd be an interesting topic for later.) We also know that since Yamato and Kakashi have similiar ideals, then I wouldn't be too surprised if they teamed up just for the purpose of thwarting Danzou. Shikaku might be added in there...but we'll have to see, won't we?

Yes, Nagato's quick redemption sickened me a bit, but I got over it when the heartfelt reunion came in 450. Kakashi and Shizune's revivial was definitely greatly accepted by all the fans, I'm sure.

All characters play a fair role in Naruto, even if it seems fairly small. I have a good feeling about Shikaku's future role in Naruto though. He's bound to be up to countering Danzou in one of these chapters. I'm glad to see he isn't ignorant. He is Shikamaru's father, after all, which definitely shows in his son. He isn't ignorant either which makes him so intelligent just as his father. I wonder if the Nara Clan have an idea if anything is going on and the same goes for the Yamanaka Clan. Ino's dad might have an idea what's going on since he was talking to Shikaku about it earlier...

Haha, this might be needed in a different thread altogether, huh? I can't possibly imagine how this goes along with who would win between the Yamanka and Nara clan! ^.^ Maybe it should be switched to: "Who knows what Danzou's plans are -- better?: Yamanaka Clan vs Nara Clan!"

Well at seems like Sasuke kill off Danzou. It'd be the perfect oppurtunity for him to get back in the good guys side. Yeah, Kishi does seem to want it. Plus, I think he said he wanted to do a happy ending in an interview, so what's be happier then the guy who the main character wants to come back from the evil side returns? If he tries to kill an Hokage who isn't Danzou he will become too tainted for redemption. Pluse, if he kills Danzou the villagers might see him in a good light again since his betrayal made them see him more as evil. I'm pretty sure he was a major part in the clan massacre, but I can't remember clearly. The next arc will most likey be about Danzou and Sasuke.

Choza is Chouji's fater and also part of the Inoshikacho trio. It was revealed in Kakashi's fight with Pain. It wouldn't be too farfecthed for Kakashi too work with Itachi, they were probably the strongest in ANBU and might've been sent to deal with the tougher missions. Yeah, there might be a coup that'll bring in other minor character like Yamato and Shikaku. It would seem strange if they just stayed there and dealt with Danzou's orders as Hokage. There is also the possibility they might leave the village and let Danzou rule his crater in peace.

I wish Nagato's redemption was more elaborated upon, it was just too quick, the only good thing that came out of it was that it took less time, but it was too quick for a man who aimed towards a world with no war ever since he was young. It was his live's ambition. I'm meh about Shizune and like Kakashi, but I wish they would've stayed dead. It just felt like Deus Ex Machina and it's kind of hard to take villains seriously when they can't do any permanent damage.

Yeah, Shikaku seems like he'll end up countering Danzou's statements and try to stop him from becoming Hokage, but he probably won't succed because of the Sasuke factor. Him knowing about Sage Mode might've also hinted he knew other things which might set him up for a bigger role in the future. Well Inoichi is one of Shikaku's closest friends, so if he was talking to him he probably at least hinted at it or something.

Yeah, we drifted way off topic with the Danzou becoming Hokage, Sasuke's return, Shikaku's role, and Kakshi's abscense things. We haven't even discussed who would be the victor in a while. That topic name does seem more accurate, maybe you should teall a mod to change the title or make this into a seperate thread since it's way off topic.

I'll respond to you in a new thread, I suppose. It would probably be the appropriate thing to do so others don't walk into spoilers. First off, any idea what topic the new thread would be under and what it should be called? If you want to make it so it'll be faster, go right ahead. I'm not stopping you lol. Just send me the link, i guess.

EDIT: I might not be able to respond until tomorrow though, so I'll try to reply as soon as possible then.

I guess the Town Bookstore and I might try to make it later.

[Konoha'sGreenThunder]

I figured out why Shikaku was there. He's the Jonin Commander.

According to Naruto Wiki: The Jonin Commander is a position in the shinobi system of Konohagakure. As a representative of the regular shinobi forces, they are a member of the council, giving them a say in important matters such as choosing a new Hokage. They are likely the highest-ranking normal shinobi in the village, but still officially a jonin themselves. The current Jonin Commander of Konoha is Shikaku Nara.

Even that was just a small clip of him killing some sound ninja. (I don't remember seeing him in any others.) Anyway, I'm saying I don't think Shikaku has enough screen time for us to really tell, but it's probably Kakashi.

well, theyre shadow possesion techniques are infamous, when shikamaru stopped those sound and sand nin that were chasing them while they went after gaara after the exams, they were like, oh, this is konohas shadow (cant remember what they called it) and he corrected them on the name change

[ANIMELVR4EVR]

I think the Nara Clan would win because the Yamanaka Clan's jutstu takes time and if they miss their opponent then that would be bad for them. Plus the jutsu that Shikamaru's shown looks like it can beat Ino's even though she's not in the story a lot.

I agree. And the Nara are geniuses: they'll be able to beat the Yamanaka Clan before they even use their jutsus!

i agree! the Nara Clan kicks but!

[Vatanui AKA Pride]

Nara Clan rules!

[shadow master]

i agree the Nara clan would win in no time at all.

[Kuromaki]

Geez, a lot of Nara supporters here. Going by what they've shown, they could win, but I'm sure the Yamanakas have something up their sleeves...

[Airgrimes]

The yamanka's have flower jutsu in the video game which is really effective but we havent seen any flower jutsu in the anime or manga so i say Nara clan.
Ino is a lousy example of a kunoichi let alone represent her clan.

[Fan of Minato]

The Nara would win not only because of Shikamaru's intellect but also because of Shikaku's elaborate thinking, Inoichi would use mind distraction, and Shikaku would jump up and use shadow possession jutsu and that would finish it.

[Vatanui AKA Pride]

Nara wins, period.

[narutorocks]

I say the Nara clan.

They have their awesome shadow jutsu and the Yamanaka's jutsu is already at somewhat of a disadvantage because they need non-moving targets for there mind jutsus to work.

[Kuromaki]

I think this fight is unfair, because the Yamanakas have shown, like, 2 jutsu.

[Kenshin Mizoguchi]

I would say the Nara clan.

But that's is strictly based on what I've seen so far through the story line.

[kakashi842]

the nara clan stomps the yamanaka clan
