Naruto and Sasuke; The Rivalry Continues..

Guys, some of you have already tried to guess what are the meaning of the codes left by Jiraiya before he dies.

On Naruto manga chapter 407 , we see the codes been decrypted by the code breaker, Shiho (who eherm.. have a crush on Shikamaru), with the help of Naruto. The codes are finally translated as "Hon-mono-hai-nai" , or "the real one isn’t there" . It turned out that the numbers in the codes are referring to certain pages and chapters in the latest book written by Jiraiya; Icha Icha Tactics .

At the same time, not too far away from Konoha, Akatsuki has made their steps ahead. Pein is now moving to Konoha to capture the Nine-Tails, knowing that the longer he waits, the harder it’d be to break into Konoha, as Konoha might have found out ’something’ after the death of Jiraiya.

The big question that gets into everyone’s head is the "new body" which Pein called as "Konan". The body might be the substitute for the body that was killed by Jiraiya while they were engaged in a battle before Jiraiya dies. The face sure don’t look like Konan much, but regardless, it’s Konan in some weird kind of ways (well, we haven’t found out what "techniques" does Pein use actually).

And oh, don’t worry about chapter 408 too much. The first seven pages are lamely the scenes of "Falcon" a.k.a Taka team consisting Sasuke and co. beating some shinobi in order to gain information of the Eight-Tails’ location. It’s boring and there’s nothing special there. What interesting in this chapter is a proposal made by Fukasaku. He proposed for Naruto to go to Myobokuzan with him and learn the sage arts. A place where Jiraiya learnt all his sage techniques from.

I think it’d be interesting to see Naruto train again!
