I have created three more designs for the Naruto Shops:

Tsunade: http://www.cafepress.com/tsunade



Naruto Uzumaki: http://www.cafepress.com/uzumaki





and due to the popularity of my last shop, I have created a design with the 4 main levels of the Sharingan in the Uchiha Clan: http://www.cafepress.com/uchihasharingan

Phase 2 of the Lost Experience ARG game has begun a week ago.

The Hanso Foundation site has been closed down; however, Persephone has found a new way to communicate with us. Persephone is Rachel Blake.

Her site with new clues can be found at: http://stophanso.rachelblake.com/index2.html

Last week...Kakashi told Naruto that after his training in the next 6 months, he will even surpass Kakashi the Copy Nin...

Kakashi: During this training I'll be with you the whole time... Also, it's going to be quite different from any training you've had so far. In other words, we're going to have you acquire a new ninjutsu greater than even rasengan...However, in order to acquire such power, one must spend an equally massive amount of time and effort to do so. [quoted from Nihongaeri in mangahelper]

Naruto's training is for him to develop his own ultimate ninjutsu; like how Kakashi develop his very own Chidori. Before this time, all Naruto learnt were ninjutsu from other people, e.g. the 4th Hokage Yondaime's rasengan and Ero-Senin's toad summoning. Kakashi has found a way for Naruto to do all these in the next 6 months...Asuma interrupted them before Kakashi can tell Naruto how he will be training him.

Team Asuma (without Shika) and Team Kakashi went to the BBQ place. Chouji said that Shikamaru needed to go with his dad and get some horn for medicine. Sai attempted to give Chouji and Ino nicknames...He almost called Chouji the forbidden word (fatso) before Naruto stopped him. He named Ino (Miss Beautiful -- Sai thought that if he say the reverse then everything will be all right).

In Godaime's office, an ANBU warned her that the Akatsuki are just outside of Konoha. They are possibly coming to get Naruto. Tsunade said that they will need to take action immediately.

Outside of Konoha, the Akatsuki are on the move. They have found the "Two-tails" Jinchūriki -- she is possibly the Nibi no Nekomata - the cat demon that can control the dead (like Kabuto). [This may be why fans think that Kabuto is the two-tails. As a side note, Kilala from Inuyasha is a Nekomata - two tails - but she does not control the dead. She helps Sango to kill demons.] The female Jinchūriki of Nibi from the Hidden Cloud Village. She is much older than Gaara and Naruto and has heard about the Akatsuki. The two Akatsuki that are pursuing her are Hidan and Kakuzu. It seems that she is protected by her village much like Naruto; so she may not be that extreme as Gaara and the other two captured Jinchūriki. Hidan and Kakuzu may have killed her teamates as they said that she is the only one left. Or, it may be interpreted that she is the only Jinchūriki left for the Akatsuki to find/identified. The chapter ends here.

===================================

Kishimoto is a DB fan....So, he is going to do a DB Hyperbolic Time Chamber in Naruto. Kakashi has MS and he may use it to trap Naruto there to train him. When Itachi use the MS to torture Kakashi, several minutes = 3 days.

Shikamaru may be on a mission with his dad to find the Two-Tails Jinchūriki, instead of gathering medicine for Tsunade. They may bring her to Konoha for protection. Naruto will finally meet the other Jinchūriki besides Gaara.

Now for the Akatsuki. There are 10 members in total and 9 of them are accounted for (not including the Akatsuki leader as we have seen his shadow and comments in the manga and anime): [taken from wikipedia]
* 青龍- せいりゅう, Seiryū - Green/blue Dragon - God of East and Spring: worn by Deidara.
* 白虎- びゃっこ, Byakko - White Tiger - God of West and Autumn: worn by the unknown member.
* 朱雀 - すざく, Suzaku - Hōō (literally "Red Sparrow") - God of South and Summer: worn by Itachi.
* 玄武 - げんぶ, Genbu - Tortoise (literally "Mysterious Warrior") - God of North and Winter: worn by Zetsu.
* 空陳 - くうちん, Kūchin - The Void: formerly worn by Orochimaru and is still in his possession. [Orochimaru is no longer in Akatsuki].
* 南斗 - なんじゅ, Nanju - Southern Star: worn by Kisame.
* 北斗 - ほくと, Hokuto - Northern Star: worn by Kakuzu.
* 三台 - さんたい, Santai - The Three Levels: worn by Hidan.
* 玉女 - ぎょくにょ, Gyokunyo - The Virgin: worn by Sasori (deceased) and recovered by Tobi.
* 零, Rei/zero - zero/nothing/overflow: worn by the Akatsuki leader.

Naruto Chapter 311 summary:

This is the start of a new arc. Kakashi is on the cover!!!

Sai was in the Konoha Library reading books on how to make friends and brush up on his interpersonal skills. He met Sakura there looking for books in medicine. This time, Sai was wearing normal cloths that covers his belly - unlike is mission cloths.

Sai and Sakura went to meet Naruto. Naruto was not wearing his orange outfit, but a black T-Shirt with an ANBU logo in the front. They all are going to visit Kakahsi.

Kakashi is still at the hospital. Yamato had told Kakashi about the failed mission. Naruto and Sakura were still complaining how Sasuke is much stronger than them. They asked Kakashi to train them. Kakashi had been thinking about it and he said that there is a way for Naruto to become stronger during these 6 months. If Naruto succeed, he will be stronger - even will surpass Kakashi.


So finally, we will be able to see Naruto becoming stronger (new Ninjusu) and not relying on his Kyuubi powers (possibly). This will be an interesting arc.

Naruto Chapter 310 summary:

This chapter is really short, but as expected as it is the end of the Grass Country (another Sasuke Retrieval) Arc.

Sasuke, Oro and Kabuto left. Naruto is frustrated and cried -- he has failed to bring Sasuke back again. Sakura told Naruto that Crying does not help and will not bring Sasuke back. She said that they (Naruto and Sakura) will get stronger together.

Team Yamato went back to Konoha and reported back to Tsunade about the failed mission. Sai and Danzou had a talk. Danzou knew about Sai's emotion -- he saw Sai's smile when he asked Danzou whether he can keep his name - Sai. Sai wishes to remain with Team 7 for a while longer. Danzou said that emotions will only bring war.

Sai has been "Narutofied". He finished his drawing of his brother. It appears that his brother is a new character. He has a new painting (that has a title as well -- "Friends") -- it is actually not a painting; he placed the title under his window, where you can see Team 7 outside waiting for him on a mission.

========================
Next week, another attack to Konoha. It may be Akatsuki coming to get Naruto.

Kakashi is still out of the picture. Hopefully, he and Yamato will lead Team 7; afterall, Yamato is currently the only person who can control the Kyuubi.

Naruto Chapter 309 summary:

Kyuubi recognized Sasuke's strength...He said that there was only one other Uchiha was able to match him with those eyes -- Madara Uchiha. I suspected that Madara was the third Uchiha that had obtained the MS Sharingan. Kyuubi also told Sasuke to not to kill Naruto; or else, he will regret it.

Naruto, of course, tried to ask Sasuke to turn back from the dark side. He questioned whether Sasuke knows that Oro wanted his body as his next host. However, Sasuke, as stubborn as he is, said that he will do everything he can to get his revenge, even allowing Oro to take over his body.

Oro and Kabuto came and asked Sasuke to not to fight them. Oro asked him "not to use that jutsu". They told him that they need the Konoha Ninjas to kill off the Akatsuki for them. They do not have the strength to defeat Itachi right now.
