Guren's Mission


As our team of heroes continue to search for Orochimaru and Saske, Orochimaru presses on with his ultimate goal of immortality. Although nothing is yet clear about Guren's roll in Orochimaru's plan, she is a definate factor in the success of the mission. Orochimaru believes that "combining chakra" (energy) with a young boy named Yamato that apparently possess great power. This episode focuses on the relationship between Yamato and Guren. Guren shows that she does have a heart despite her being on the side of pure evil. She cares for Yamato while he gets sick traveling to their unknown destination. At this point, I know that Guren's crystal jutsu and Yamato's secret jutsu are going to combine and probably make a new weapon that Orochimaru can use to his benefit in his reincarnation. During this bonding experience between Guren and Yamato, Naruto is trying to master a new, powerful jutsu in combination with the toads help. He thought he was going to use a water style jutsu from the frog in combination with his wind style jutsu to create a similar jutso to Jaraiya's water/wind jutsu, but the frog cant' do water jutsu! But we all know Naruto will pull it together and use this jutsu to defeat Orochimaru's Guren/Yamato weapon.

You either have it in you to be a ninja or you don't. This blog is to discuss with all my fellow ninjas a wide range of subjects involving the Leaf Village's hardships and triumphs. The title of this anime is Naruto Shippuden, yet the anime has many more characters who are just as important as the headstrong Naruto as well. For people who have never seen Naruto (an anime preceding Naruto Shippuden) or Naruto Shippuden I will briefly summarize the plot of the storyline. Naruto is a very stubborn, slow learning ninja of the leaf village who eventually uses his diligent spirit to overcome challenges including the Genine Exams which is an exam to weed out the strong from the weak. Naruto continues his journey to become the 4th Hokage (the leader) of the leave village in Naruto Shippuden as a young adult.
