sai's rank

[big_time69666]

sai is anbu so with rule anbu/ special jonin would be his rank right? or will crd game make him chunin

[hahonryuu]

ummm my guess is anbu or no rank...why the crap would they make him chuunin 0_o

[Ninetailedfox100]

I think he'll be Anbu(special jonin).

[Sensei2312]

I think a Chuunin.
I'm not sure, but I thought someone at some time admitted to him being
a Chuunin, but I don't know.

[whitefang of konoha]

I think he'll be Anbu(special jonin).

in the japanese game he's konoha(leaf)/anbu/root/male. so i would say he'd be anbu rank, if bandai doesnt mess it up. i wonder what his turn cost and how strong he'll be.

cause he is presume chunin rank - http://www.leafninja.com/biographies-S.php#Sai

[DeidaraC5]

Bandai said that they were going to have new anbus and new anbu support in the upcoming set so there is a chance he'll be one of them but i really could care less if he is no rank or anbu.

cause he is presume chunin rank - http://www.leafninja.com/biographies-S.php#Sai

ok that site got that info from the 3rd naruto data book. i dont feel like making a big argument right now because im getting tired so please pay attention

-it says at least chuunin because in the book thats as far as it said, and even then it didnt say he was a chuunin, it said "took the exams at age 10" not "passed at age 10" the way it does for tenten and yamato etc <though not 10 obv lol> so by that logic he could be genin <lolz>

-kakashi called the anbu the "eilite of the elite" and the jonin are the elite, you do the math

-in the book it didnt reveal all to much about sai <nor yamato> likely because of them being anbu, gotta be mysterious and all...after all yamato and sai arent even their names

-Danzou called sai the strongest of his age group...neji is in his age group and last i checked he's a jonin <and judging from his attire, a jedi>

-in the end we can assume X and Y but all in all we dont know enough about the anbu. maybe you get promoted jonin automatically if your accepted at a lower rank. maybe kishi is just being mysterious <aka a duche bag lol> or lazy and he's really rank X. we know so much and yet so little


i highly doubt he'll be chuunin on the card regardless of actual rankings. no in fact ide bet my left nut that sai will be ANBU or no rank


and this

hard to give ANBU support if they arent making people who ARE anbu, anbu <i'll let kakashi and itachi slide but sai?>

Or even Yamato?
I mean come on, they even show him being relieved of his
Anbu duties (In gear and all) BY the Fifth, so he can lead team 7.
So who knows?
I guess yeah, I can see him being an Anbu for sure, and if not...then I guess they will have fun making up characters for it. >.>

maybe they'll do like the original ANBU card but name them "ANBU member #1" lol then you could have infinant amounts of ANBU made :p

Yeah but come on, talk about bogus right?
I mean, we have both Kakashi and Itachi IN outfit,
but they weren't Anbu,
so now it's time for Bandai to step up IF they already haven't
with this set, and RIGHT THEIR WRONG with Yamato and Sai. ;)

[sand shinobi]

anbu right?(unless they mess with his rank)

[Klatuu]

anbu go for the obvious

[dylanlee]

Sai should be an ANBU.

[Thayli]

Bandai's just being careful about anbu, with all the new support anbu ninjas could be broken fairly easily.

[Gaara_]

Both Sai and Yamato are from Anbu.

kakashi moved up from anbu to jonin so how can anbu be better (elite) jonin :confused:

[Shippuden gamer]

Sai will probably have rank "root" or "Anbu | Root", b/c he's a special Anbu

And I'd assume Yamato's Anbu as well

also, we'll be seeing Sai soon, fire weeks first after all (And I have major faith that Sai will be fire, and since most Anbu cards are fire, that helps to the idea as well)

[Gaara_]

kakashi moved up from anbu to jonin so how can anbu be better (elite) jonin :confused:

Technically, Special Jonin are ninjas capable of the Jonin rank, but are only trained in a certain skill, for efficiency, like Shizune. She's a Special Jonin because she's good enough to be Jonin (which she becomes), but focuses on Medical Ninjutsu, hence "special".

ANBU are like super powerful Special Jonin, trained in their job only, assassain stuff. Jonin are robust and have skills all around, but ANBU Black Ops are just trained in their stuff, very similar to the Special Jonin rank. That's why ANBU agents would be classified as Special Jonins.

That whole explanation is rubbish.

First off, as far as I know, the term 'special jonin' was created with the game, as they never gave a rank to the Ambu and proctors.

'Special Jonin' was made to show these guys were stronger than chunin, but not as powerful as the jonin as far as the cards go.

Secondly, even if I am incorrect about the 'special jonin' rank being created for the game, what I am 100% sure about is the fact that it was Bandai's idea to lump Ambu and 'special jonin' together, making them equal.
(A horrible idea that might result in an ambu deck being unplayable, much like the Sound 4.)

No where in the show or manga do they compair the ambu being 'almost a jonin, but specialized in only one thing, so, their not fully a jonin'.

I'm not trying to be mean, and no offense to you, but that post just sounds like something you rationolized and made up to make sense of the situation.

[Kisame8988]

Sai will be Anbu, that is unless they add "Root" rank to the game.

[Shino'sDad]

Root unfortunately was altered in English Shippuden to "The Foundation" as seen in the subtitled episodes on Naruto.com . Though, there is a chance they were refer to it as Root in the CCG. As for Sai's rank, he won't have a rank perse, but instead be Anbu, which is analogous to "Special Jonin" rank.

I can't wait to spam multiple Sai in my Anbu Raid deck. Nine possible ninjas so far now.

Yup, 3 Anbu, 3 Yugao, 3 Sai, maybe 3 Yamato. Good stuff.

[hahonryuu]

kakashi moved up from anbu to jonin so how can anbu be better (elite) jonin :confused:

because that isnt how it happend =/ he was already a jonin...we can argue about sai and itachi all the live long day and have no real results but kakashi was already a jonin before going into ANBU, thats an unarguable fact

in kakashi gaiden <which is the story of how kakashi got his sharingan eye, if you haven read it then stop reading now for spoiler purposes>








it started on the day of his jonin inaguration, he most certainly was not in ANBU yet

That whole explanation is rubbish. i wouldnt call it perfect but it was far from rubbish, especially looking at who it came from. it actually surprised me to see that coming from him. let him have his 15 minutes of fame

First off, as far as I know, the term 'special jonin' was created with the game, as they never gave a rank to the Ambu and proctors. they almost always refer to, for example, Anko as jonin actually, and ebisu in his debut episode reffered to himself as a jonin, however in an episode of shippuuden there was this lil special at the end (like they all have) where i think sakura or yamato or somebody went over the ranks giving the order of their rankings and going over what each of them were <FYI, sp jonin explanation was similar to what gaara_ said>...special jonin was on the list, and listed right under jonin as a matter of fact. of course i dont think that means its necssarily a lower rank, i mean judging from my Anko and Ebisu examples ide say jonin and special jonin are...well not interchangable, but ide say that a special jonin has the same status, power, and basically rank as a "normal" jonin. a special jonin IS a jonin, just trained for specific purposes

'Special Jonin' was made to show these guys were stronger than chunin, but not as powerful as the jonin as far as the cards go.as far as cards go, yeah

Secondly, even if I am incorrect about the 'special jonin' rank being created for the game, what I am 100% sure about is the fact that it was Bandai's idea to lump Ambu and 'special jonin' together, making them equal.yeah as far as i now thats all bandai...heck its all bandai america. if japan had done it as well...well then it wouldve already been like that when we got the game lol

(A horrible idea that might result in an ambu deck being unplayable, much like the Sound 4.) ok i just noticed this, its aNbu...note the N, which is not an M. now that thats out of the way...i dont see how that makes it unplayable, elaborate please. and i dont see how you can compare giving them a rank being bad as opposed to S4 which are rankless. and i wouldnt call S4 unplayable, thats going a little far. its far from the meta but i personally dont consider just being far frm the meta as being unplayable...but i suppose thats a matter of opinion

No where in the show or manga do they compair the ambu being 'almost a jonin, but specialized in only one thing, so, their not fully a jonin'.then wtach the show more

I'm not trying to be mean, and no offense to you, but that post just sounds like something you rationolized and made up to make sense of the situation.

response in bold

[chibionineko]

It is funny people are mentioning Itachi being a jonin. He was never actually promoted to that rank while in the leaf. Itachi's progression was Genin>Chunin>Anbu>Anbu Squad Leader> (Slaughers Clan)> Is considered to be Jonin+ level since he is a rogue ninja and a Super S rank criminal in the bingo Book. Also, as some of you may recall, when they did the explination of S rank missions in the early episodes of the original Naruto, S rank missions are missions that only The Hokage and Elite Anbu are sent to complete. As such it can be considered that some (not all) Anbu ninjas are of Jonin+ Skill. Just like Itachi is/was.

well even among the anbu there are people just plain better than another person. by "elite" anbu, i would assume they just mean the really talented and/or experienced ones. ANBU is ANBU <unless your like a captain or the head>. and <i really hate arguing this because it gets nobody anywhere except a free trip to asprin land> if ANBU are really all that then being promoted to anbu is as good as being promoted to jonin. like there are jonin, then there are anbu which are like facelss special covert ops jonin lol. i see no reason to argue itachi's rank. besides even if that isnt true, we dont know he was never considered to be a jonin. they never said it, but then again it was never said that jiraiya attaned jonin or chuunin or anything either, surely your not doubting his rank?

and please, if you disagree with me, just say that because if that didnt persuade you i dont think i can persuade you and i highly doubt you can persuade me so lets save both of us a lot of time and trouble and end this with a simple "i agree" or "i disagree" please. like i said we can argue itachi and sai all the live long day and it wont get us anywhere accept asprin land...im already a repete tourist and dont want to become a citizen thank you very much :D

Actually I wasnt trying to argue, just point out a few things. Lets just assume that Anbu ninjas skill levels are a little more broad than the card game can support, with their skills ranging from chunin level to Jonin+ Level. Also, SPOILERThe Sannin aquired the name Sannin before they became Jonin's when they were able to hold there own fighting Hanzo, former leader of Rain Village(note they technically lost). It wasn't until later that Jiraiya and the rest obtained Jonin Status and begain teaching other ninjas. Technically they are only Jonin but like kakashi they are far above the normal, hence the nickname for their level of ability. Basically consider their title as Sannin equivalent to Neji and Kakashi being called Genious./SPOILER

[hahonryuu]

Actually I wasnt trying to argue, just point out a few things. Lets just assume that Anbu ninjas skill levels are a little more broad than the card game can support, with their skills ranging from chunin level to Jonin+ Level. Also, SPOILER

1)i just mean i dont want this to turn into an argument because its one that is liekly to not have any winners. no matter how long it goes we are likely to stay at square 1

2)i just dont believe that one who is truly only as skilled as a chuunin can compete with what ANBU is supposed to be..i mean if there are people of true chuunin level in there then being in it, or the head of it like itachi was, doesnt mean as much. it goes from being the best of the best to being a minikage

3)i didnt quote the spoiler <it is a spoiler after all lol, ide like it to stay that way> however i dont recall that ever being said...i know it wasnt said in the show/manga, so what databook was it in cuz i dont remember the other ones too well < 3 was fairly recent so its pretty fresh in my mind and the anime/manga is pretty much always fresh in my head for some reason>. in the show we arent there yet and in the manga i dont think it said what rank they were at the time so if it was really said itd have to be from a databook pretty much. im not calling you a liar, i just dont remember that being said, and not remembering these things bothers me

[chibionineko]

The event in the spoiler happens before SPOILERJiraiya meets Konan, Yahiko, and Nagato as orphans in the rain village./SPOILER It is around Chapter 369, at least that is Hanzo's first manga appearance so I'm guessing that is where it is.

[hahonryuu]

just read 369. no mention of rank. read databooks 2 and 3 <well ok i read peoples translations of it but sites like that are generaly picky about confirmation and stuff, it was teribly inaccurate it would be known as such> and not a single mention of jiraiyas rank other than when he graduated the academy <he didnt look all THAT young in that bell test flashback 0_0 go jiraiya>. same with orochi <didnt bother looking at tsunade. even if it did say something about her rank it wouldnt be relavent to jiraiyas really.

i think your remembering wrong or somebody told you false info...btw i highly doubt chuunin would be sent to fight against somebody of such prodigious skill that he is known by every shinobi around <except probably naruto, the boy doesnt know anything outside his own village. and even then...> and axtually had jiraiya going "0_0" when he heared of his defeat <or i suppose i should say destruction>

in the end there are things we are just not told <because kishimoto is a combonation of pure evil, a deuche bag, and lazy> and have to infer till the manga is over <at which point he'll probably reveal anything/everything we wanna know...hopefully>

[big_time69666]

probably not he is pure evil and lazy. and answering question would hinder him moving on to next project


but maybe we will get to yamato one anbu and one jonin as 5th order him to take mask off and gave him jonin rank.

sai turn, element and rank are all ? i hope water or earth turn 2 anbu is what i hope. with new element changes ink is usually made from earth and water so he should be one of them elements.

the element is up in the air, he could be anything at this point <though i hope fire, for no other reason than i prefer themes to be as focused as possible on one element and he likely will be ANBU>

and if he is ANBU, that means he's special jonin <card game wise, lets please put actual rank arguments behind us> and i dont think we'll get one on turn 2 nless it has a backlash of some kind...and i prefer there to NOT be risk when im playing a card <or at least as little as possible> that and the fact that he has calle dnaruto weak and question his manhood on several occasions...i doubt he'll be anything lower than turn 3 and i REALLY doubt he'll be higher than T4...i and im leaning towards turn 3

[big_time69666]

kankuro is a reg jonin on turn 3 why not have a sp jonin/anbu on turn 2
also temari turn 3 jonin as well
asuma but that sux

and personally i hope anbu hit all elements as other villages should have them too. mist, sand, cloud, stone, rain etc should all get some.

and to be honest sai will be support ninja i hope as he is that type of character

[hahonryuu]

its true that they are breaking that old tradition of "thjis ninja is this rank so its minumum rank is this without a downside" tradition, but that doesnt change the fact that he will likely have higher combined stats than naruto andtherefor should/will be turn 3+. temari and asuma are bad examples as they have exactly what i said, a downside <asuma is just fail and temari has an unneeded HC>. kankuro is only good in A0 a puppet deck or B)a deck with a salamander in it for the same purpose as DHW haido and stuff,a high powered freeplay. kankuro himself isnt that great, his reliance is on another card being in the deck which is why he got away with no downside, because in a way he did as his stats are "eh" for a jonin

yeah and that doesnt mean it cant be predominatly fire and should be predominately fire...i mean the story revolves around leaf ninjas yet not all of them are fire, so simply saying that they could be from other countries means nothing as they can still be fire. and even then, come on, thats wishful thinking...we havent really seen other ANBU <though we know they exist>. if we dont see them we dont get a card. jutsu and missions are one thing, ninjas are another so your argument would have merit if we had actually seen them, but we havent <not yet at least>

but of course, the more you split the theme the more fail it becomes. look at toad flame bombs, in theory its a great card, but its in the "wrong" element. splitting a theme into multi elements, even if it makes sense, hurts the theme overall the more heavily its split.

as for the support thing...umm, ok, that doesnt make him turn 2. and if i had t take a stab at his stats ide imagine similar stats to hayate genma or sasuke...something like 4/3 2/2 or 5/2 0/0 or something <obvious there will likely be slight tweaks...maybe minus and injured combat for a support on the first one or add +1/+1 to the injured on the sasuke stats, or maybe add one support and keep the 0/0> tweak it slightly to be more "sai" but ide say thats in the ballpark of what he'll be <lolz watch me be sooooo far off>

for random anbu just a ninja in cloak with white mask and random red design then village symbol on mask

i was think maybe sai stats would look like 1/3 2/4 depending on turn we have a nuff head ninja with 3 team only sent out at a time we only need 3 head ninja 6 support and then some chump blocks

[SasukeUchiha21]

Im thinking sai is chunnin,or special jonin.

[Sasuke of the desert]

im thinking hes gonna be fire turn 3 anbu about 5/2

[kikob93]

i think anbu.

[Naruto94]

Really quick, SPOILER:








Wasn't it that kakashi WAS anbu, and stepped down to jonin after he descided he didn't want to see any more comrades die since usually people die on anbu missions?

[Akatsukidude101]

Really quick, SPOILER:








Wasn't it that kakashi WAS anbu, and stepped down to jonin?

I dont get how it is lower, in the game they say special jonin=anbu and jonin is higher than special jonin.

[Naruto94]

I think bandai scewed up, because I'm pretty sure the anbu are supposed to be like the top ninja under hokage, and I'm pretty sure it's the way was already said, jonin=special jonin except the specials have a certain skill they focus on.

[hahonryuu]

Really quick, SPOILER:

jonin, then at some point he became ANBU, then for some reason that i believe was never touched on, he quit and became a normal jonin again

[Shippuden gamer]

Anbu is higher than Jonin, it's official, it was listed in one of the Naruto world fact books done by Masashi Kishimoto, it showed the order, it goes:

Ninja Academy Student < Genin < Chunin < Special Jonin < Jonin < Anbu < Anbu Balck Ops < Anbu Root (I think, this is just a speculation) < Kage < Sannin

that's what the book said iirc

[Shippuden gamer]

iIrc root and ANBU, while being essentially the same, are under different commanders. ANBU by the hokage and root by danzou. so ide say they are the same but different

and the sannin part doesnt make any sense

sannin is a special name given to jiraiya and company by an enemy ninja because they survived fighting him, they are well known and weel respected yes but its not really a rank. itd be like getting medal of honor or something, you did something heroic but in the end you didnt really get a promotion just because of the medal <though in this particular example you very well mightve gotten a promotion because of the thing you did> in the end they are just 3 gifted jonin who are well known throughout the ninja world.

whether kishi said it or not that just doesnt make sense to me.

sannin is a special name given to jiraiya and company by an enemy ninja because they survived fighting him, they are well known and weel respected yes but its not really a rank. itd be like getting medal of honor or something, you did something heroic but in the end you didnt really get a promotion just because of the medal <though in this particular example you very well mightve gotten a promotion because of the thing you did> in the end they are just 3 gifted jonin who are well known throughout the ninja world.

whether kishi said it or not that just doesnt make sense to me.

I know that too, those are the only 3, and they were dubbed Sannin by the Salamander guy, but that's what the book says so...

ahh but that book was done by who? masashi kishimoto.

what is masashi kishimoto? retarded.

Danzou leads only Anbu root though, and we have only a limited amount of information on the root, it's where Anbu come from and are raised. Sai isnt classified as an Anbu black op by any hokage, and add to that, Sai is a one man team before he enters team 7. Anbu travel in groups of 5 in the black ops and root isnt moving in the same way.

besides Sai is gifted, i would assume him passing the chunnin exam at a young age. I say he will appear first as a chunnin then on a different card will have the rank of Anbu root. it would make sense if they made a new classification between chunnin and Anbu/Special Jounin

i couldve sworn it was said that they are ANBU root because they support the village from the base, in the shadows <or soemthing like that> hence root <they are the roots of the big tree that is konoha> and that they are their own faction...there are definately members of root that are not beginners...like that guy who came to sai that one time, if i recall wasnt he wearing the coat of an ANBU captain? and the ANBU report directly to the hokage, i dont see why danzou would have that much influence over them. and danzou is very old, i doubt this is a rcent position to him, yet his ideals arent apart of people like yamato, kakashi, or itachi

not calling you a liar, but if it is true, then just liek with what i said about sannin a couple posts ago, its definately a hole in kishi's way of thinking.

man, that guy...

[Naruto94]

Anbu is higher than Jonin, it's official, it was listed in one of the Naruto world fact books done by Masashi Kishimoto, it showed the order, it goes:

Ninja Academy Student < Genin < Chunin < Special Jonin < Jonin < Anbu < Anbu Balck Ops < Anbu Root (I think, this is just a speculation) < Kage < Sannin

that's what the book said iirc


Aren't anbu all black ops?

[hahonryuu]

Aren't anbu all black ops?

i didnt catch that...yeah im pretty sure they are. besides rankings such as captain and chief <or whatever they call the head hancho, like itachi> i dont think there any differences between ANBU except probably ANBU and ANBU root

[mindlabyrinth]

Imo the didn't give kakashi and itachi annu rank for a good reason, for starters they both have henjutsi and sharingan eye. That alone makes them to broken to be anbu. Off topic does anyone know what element sai will be?

misusing the term broken FTL

[hahonryuu]

I hear from a little birdy we dont even get sai or yamato in this set.
I could be wrong but my source is very reliable.
So...NO MORE SAI/YAMATO/4TAILS threads, until we actually know if they are coming out, because as far as I know, set 13 only goes to the end of the dei/saso arc, and the very beginning of the next one(which is how we get a sasuke but no yamato or sai)

you need to check your source again =/

if it was only he deisori arc then we wouldnt have the 2 shippuuden sasuke's we are getting, the set certainly wouldnt be called fateful reunion, and the preview card <not the proctor preview, the other one> counters ninjas with OC effect AND..what was it, tailed beast form effect? i dont think 1-3 tails would get an effect called that since he still looks like naruto. but with red chakra around him. but in 4 tails mode, if i didnt know who it was, it couldve been anyone really, he takes a much more beastly form. and seriously if we get 4 tails and NOT yamato and sai <especially yamato, earth can use a kakashi> then ide think a revolt would start

actually i think texan or HN or somebody actually pretty much confirmed those 3 <or some of them anyway> a while back, could be wrong though

lastly, your in no real position to be telling people what they can and cannot do. even if they arent coming out in FR <highly doubt that> they WILL come out eventually so theres nothign wrong with these threads. heck there have been threads about sasuke for ages

[hahonryuu]

Dude...w.e.
Your in no position to be telling ME what I can and cannot do. I said it covers the very beginning of the sasuke arc, and sasuke>yamato/sai. Why the **** would we have 4 tails again? your telling me, that this set covers from saku/saso fight, all the way up to naruto going berserk/oro fight? thats like...episode 60. ANC went up to about ep 20. so no. this will have about 20 eps as well. Please check your sources. Why dont we ask HN or texans to tell us? Trust me, the person who i talked to, talks to texans and is somebody relatively important. So i think i know more than you on this. If im wrong, then im wrong, and ill admit it. however, for now, im pretty sure im right.

theres no "fateful reunion" until naruto/sakura reunite with sasuke...which happends after the 4 tails/orochi fight

and if your source is so all knowing, yet your not saying who it is then that means to me that

1) your lying, which i dont really believe honestly

2) somebody who should knows things <your source> is telling people who shouldnt know things <you>...well things

and for somebody who admits he can be wrong you sure are acting snooty about this. "if im wrong then i'll admit it" and "im pretty sure i know more than you" dont go hand in hand to well =/ at the very least it weakens your argument since you went from confident to there being a possibility that your wrong

EDIT: just caught this...FYI i DIDNT tell you what to do, i just said you were in no position to be telling others "stop with the sai/yamato/4tail threads"

[deidara101kakashi]

I think he'll be Anbu(special jonin).

me too anbu(special jonin):confused:

[SAI]

Heck, just leaf|ANBU|male|Mental Power:1|ambush that would make me happy, for fire obviously.

aparently we've all been had!

according to what it says just belows sai's name, he's actually a jonin! why didnt i see it before :p

[ToadSage27]

theres no question that he'd be anbu, thats his rank in the show.

[jose_ole]

cause he is presume chunin rank - http://www.leafninja.com/biographies-S.php#Sai

thats a fanmade website

ambush lol bandai ditched that game mechanic only bad cards that will not see play will get them for launch events.

who run nilla deidara nobody as bomb coins are needed for his best mission and jutsu.

[hahonryuu]

who run nilla deidara nobody as bomb coins are needed for his best mission and jutsu.

which raises th question...will ALL deidaras do it from now on, or have other abilities

its hard enough for future deidara's beating current SR deidara as is, not giving bomb coins means they'll have to be very unique or stupid good to do it

of course no ninja who has multiple copies has only good copies so its obv that not every future deidara will be on par with the last <though bandai does a pretty good job with kakashi...all his SR versions are smexy and very good> but itd be cool to not have one good one and a bunch of deidaras just make me wanna punch babies

note: hahaonryuu does not condone the punching of babies unless you are very ****ed off and the only outlet for your anger happends to be a nearby baby. but you didnt hear that from me
if you are found punching babies Foxman will use the batpuer <you just cant change that to foxputer, not nearly as cool as batputer>. he will find you. and he WILL kill you

[mirrormansorata]

thats a fanmade website

You know where the fans get their info?

Tell ya it's a think called a Data Book. Official information from MK regarding characters. It not only makes him more monies but it also gives the fans something to look forward to besides the new chapter/episode. They're highly entertaining to read, and very insightful.

=/ And Leafninja's one of the most well respected Naruto sites on the interwebz when it comes to Naruto.

its only natural to doubt a fan site, no matter how legit and respected it is.always the chance for a little false info to seep through the cracks of the good info. not saying your wrong, just not completely right, and while people shouldnt disown a site just because its not official, they shouldnt auto assume its 100% accurate

[big_time69666]

but itachi just gets better and better.

true heir was awesome. then visal then goal current one is good too.

i would settle for a deidara that only puts bomb coins on. every enemy ninja being sent out get one bomb coin. or maybe another mission phase bomb coin or a jutsu
spider should have been it.

<.< I'd you're saying what I think you are. That'd be so retaredly good, i'd be having an even bigger fit of how in love with Deidara than I already am.

D: I dunno what to say. I just quoted and don't wanna delete. This is a true statement, I just stand by the leafninja crew, because they've been at it for ages now.
