Hokage's Room

I'll say it right now: It has to be CGI or animated like the show. After seeing how the poorly done the Dragon Ball Z movie with actors is shaping up, I would not want to give any non-Naruto fans (what, they exist?) any reason to dislike Naruto even more. So now let's begin.

The screen fades in from black to a torrential down-pour over Konoha. The streets are abandoned, stores are locked up, and the ninja academy is a ghost of its former self. The scene moves to the Hokage's Mansion, where Tsunade is laying on a sofa, staring up at the portraits of her predecessors, the First, Second, Third, and Fourth Hokages. The pictures seem to stare back at her. The only sound is the rain outside, not letting up for a moment. The screen shifts back to Tsunade who is now crying, asking, "Why didn't the Will of Fire burn stronger? Why didn't it protect him?" The screen pans down towards her lap to reveal that she is holding a picture. She begins sobbing even harder now and the picture falls to the floor. On impact, the glass of the picture frame cracks. The picture is shown to the audience. The picture is a portrait of Naruto.

It is revealed that Naruto fought a battle against a seemingly unstoppable foe. It is also revealed that Naruto was defeated, but not killed. However, the enemy (Akatsuki?) removed the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox from within him. He lost all his powers as a Ninja.

What happens next?......

I dunno but this seems like it could have potential. I think there might be some parts where it could get kinda hokey but all in all, I think this is a pretty good idea for a Naruto movie. 

So I've been thinking long and hard at how I would spend my day until I picked up my copy of Naruto: Ultimate Ninja Storm (which I will be referring to as NUNS from hereon in). As many people know, Nov. 4 is a big day for a few reasons: Resistance 2 comes out, it's the second-to-last day of the school week (yes I have thurs and fri off. thank you teacher's convention!), and yes: NUNS comes out! (whaddya mean there's an election being held?) But unfortunately, it is a school day. Sooo....

Dream of Naruto

Wake up to alarm (song: The Raising Fighting Spirit *NARUTO OST 1*)

Oh yeah, isn't there some election on the 4th as well? Too bad, I'll be playing Naruto Ultimate Ninja Storm!

Character: Orochimaru

Transformation: Medusa - Orochimaru Style

Orochimaru is perfect for impersonating Medusa. Why? One word: Snakes. Lots and lots of snakes. Orochimaru has snakes everywhere he goes: big ones, small ones, even the big daddy snake himself, Manda (who is purple! that's alot of different snakes!). His entire demeanor screams snake. And Medusa is infamous for her head of snakes for hair. All Orochimaru would have to do would be to have the snakes pop out from his head (easy right?). He could also use the transformation jutsu to give himself more snake-like skin (and to be more, ahem, more woman-like). He could have snakes surround him in a very cool way (like he was the supreme overlord of snakes). The one thing he would have to absolutely not change would be his eyes. Sure, his snake-like tongue and other snake-ish features would remain or be changed slightly, but it's his eyes that are the second most defining thing about Orochimaru (besides snakes). This also applies to Medusa. Medusa are notorious for their deathly stare. Once ensnared in their view, their enemy/prey is turned to stone. While Orochimaru cannot turn people to stone, his stare inspires an intense level of dread within his prey. People who speak of Medusa always say to never look in their eyes, and the same is true with Orochimaru. This is seen during the Chunin exams when Sasuke encounters Orochimaru (in disguise as a Grass Ninja) in the forest. Orochimaru cornered Sasuke and Sakura and then cast his genjutsu, which was full of bloodlust. When he snapped out of it, Sasuke said, "It's not... death... Just an incredible simulation! I looked into his eyes... and he made me feel it... and believe it!"  (Naruto Vol. 6, page 35) Orochimaru epitomizes snakes and the fear of looking into one's eyes, just like the Medusa. This is why Orochimaru would make the best Medusa. I hope you liked my description of Orochimaru's Halloween Transformation.

so I was playing the demo for Ultimate Ninja Storm again today (for the bajillionth time) and used Naruto's rasengan like usual when, all of a sudden, Kakashi (the cpu) stuck to the wall and we started battling on a whole new plane! WHOA! and this is the first time it happened to me in the two months I have been playing this demo. i knew this was possible but i didn't know you could do it in the demo! alroigh!

So I put in my order for the sick Naruto Ultimate Ninja Storm poster back in like August and I still haven't gotten it. Is anyone else suffering like me?

Well, I have been following Naruto: Ultimate Ninja Storm very closely for quite some time now, and have thought of some really good ideas for various battlegrounds. Here's a two of my best thoughts.

1. An "on-the-move" battleground

The inspiration for this battleground comes from the Super Mario Sunshine inspired arena in Super Smash Bros Brawl. Naruto and co. would battle throughout the leaf village at iconic places such as Ichiraku Ramen, the Ninja Academy, Hokage's Mansion, etc. Players would be able to choose paths and everything. Would probably be awesome if done right.

2. A Swashbuckling Battle Arena

Naruto and co. would be on various leaf/sand/water boats as they engaged in battle with one another. would have to go from boat to boat as they were destroyed 

1 Month from today,

Naruto: Ultimate Ninja Storm Limited Edition

will be released for the PS3!!! * yeah!

I honestly cannot wait!

Here's to hoping that the awesome day-one DLC will be extra characters!

I need more answers!!

Should i get the DVD or wait for more awesomer prizes??
