"Insanity is the inability to communicate your ideas. Its as if you were in a foreign country, able to see & understand everything that's going on around you but incapable of explaining what you need to know or of being helped because you don't understand the language they speak...and all of us, one way or another, are insane."
Meanwhile, the rest of the group catches up with the Sound 4 and fight. The fight ends and Neji stays back to fight Kidoumaru. Their fight elevates and Kidoumaru's level 2 seal is activated. Neji now is faced by a bow made of his special spider's string and is pierced in the right shoulder.
Using the string attached to the Arrow, he shoots his chakra into Kidoumaru, ending the fight. Now only 2 remain on each side, and Orochimaru is in dire need to leave his body. Kabuto ponders using "Kimimaro" and Orochimaru comes to realize that he will need to transfer bodies before Sasuke arrives. Because of this Kabuto releases some prisoners and tells them to kill each other, saying that the last one surviving will get out.
Kabuto speaks with someone strapped to a bed, who turns out to be Kimimaro and wakes up to go out and enter the fight. Meanwhile, Naruto and Shikamaru catch up with Tayuya and Sakon. They clash, and Shikamaru's strategy nearly succeeds in capturing back Sasuke. However, Kimimaro enters from behind and reclaims Sasuke and flees. Shikamaru stays behind this time to fight with Tayuya, and Kimimaro takes off with Sasuke. Naruto pursues Kimimaro and Kiba goes off to fight with Sakon. The three fights go on at the same time, and Naruto catches up with Kimimaro, in Kyuubi transformation. He unleashes a massive Kage bunshin, all of which are cut down by Kimimaro's ability.
Meanwhile, Kiba's fight escalates when Sakon unleashes his twin, Ukon, and his level 2. Ukon's level 2 enables him to fuse with Kiba's body, and slowly kill him from the inside out. However, Kiba stabs himself, seeing suicide as the only way to win the fight. He then flees from the battle scene alive, for the moment. Then we move to Shikamaru's fight. He is fighting against Tayuya, who uses her flute and 3 beasts controlled by that flute. Shikamaru skillfully employs his strategy to use his Kagemane no Jutsu to trap and manipulate the bests to his advantage, much like pawns in Shogi.
Tayuya and Shikamaru's fight continues, and Tayuya unleashes her level 2 curse seal. Shikamaru responds with his new technique, Shadow Neck Bind. Next we see Naruto and Kimimaro's fight interrupted by Sasuke awakening from his seal in the barrel, level 2 curse seal activated. Once this fades, Naruto recognizes him and asks him to return to Konoha with him. Sasuke merely laughs and continues to Orochimaru. Kimimaro takes advantage of Naruto's distraction and comes up behind him. Luckily, Rock Lee intervenes and takes on Kimimaro, fully recovered and ready for action. The fight progresses, and Lee asks to take a quick break for him to drink his medicine. However, this turns out to be Sake that he had grabbed by accident.
Gai explains that Lee is a natural user of the Drunken Fist, and he shows that in his fight with Kimimaro. Kimimaro unleashes his curse seal, which causes Lee to sober up quickly. All 3 of the simeltaneous fights seem to be looking bad for our heroes, until the Gaara, Kankuro, and Temari intervene to save the day, now allies to Konoha. Temari and Kankuro finish their fights quickly, but Kimimaro unleashes his level 2 and gives Gaara a little bit more trouble. Even with Gaara's impressive new array of techniques, it takes a clash between Kimimaro's ultimate technique and Gaara's ultimate defense.
The clash between Gaara and Kimimaro push Kimimaro under the sand, and in retaliation he uses his final technique, which causes a forest of sharp bones to rise from the ground. Luckily, Gaara and Lee are elevated above this. Kimimaro then emerges from one of the bones with spear ready to stab Gaara. Again, they are s aved by luck, as Kimimaro has reached his limit. The effect of his disease is felt, and he does not succeed in killing his opponent. Meanwhile, Naruto has caught up with Sasuke, and before their fight begins, Sasuke begins to remember his past with his family and Itachi. The flashbacks end with Sasuke declaring that in order to catch up with his brother, he must kill his closest friend.
Naruto vs. Sasuke
The fight starts with Naruto in Kyuubi transformation and Sasuke with his Sharingan and level 1 curse seal. Chidori and Rasengan clash for the first time and send both sides flying. Then the fight forces Sasuke's Sharingan to evolve, giving him extremely good perception of the fight. Naruto responds to this by going into the next stage of Kyuubi transformation, which wraps his chakra around him in such a way that it resembles Kyuubi and can actually strike Sasuke. Sasuke unleashes his level 2 curse seal and they clash again; only this time it is Kyuubi Rasengan vs Level 2 Chidori. The fight ends with this. Sasuke survives only due to the fact that he wore his forehead protector, and leaves. Kakashi hurries to catch up with his students, only to discover Sasuke long gone, and Naruto on the floor. He asks himself, "was I too late?"
Tsunade's career as the Godaime Hokage start, and Tsunade goes to heal Sasuke and look at Lee. Her diagnosis: Lee should quit as a shinobi. The operation to save him would just be too risky. Meanwhile, the sound four gather and Orochimaru orders them to go to Konoha. Sasuke awakens, and Sakura tries to tend to him. However, he is troubled by how far he has fallen behind Naruto and refuses all aid. When Naruto arrives Sasuke tells him to come to the rooftop to fight. Naruto and Sasuke's first faceoff is an intense battle, ending with Kakashi interrupting a clash between Rasengan and Chidori. Sasuke then runs off to think about his future on a tree. Kakashi drops by and forces some advice into him. And later the Sound's Four drops by and fight with him. Meanwhile, Lee decides to take the high-risk operation to allow himself to be a shinobi again.
Sasuke decides to leave Leaf village for Orochimaru and Sound Village. Sakura tries to stop him, but he knocks her out and continues to meet up with the Sound Four. Sakura wakes, and informs Tsunade of Sasuke's leaving. Fearing the worst, Tsunade summons the new Chuunin Shikamaru to take as many genins as possible on a mission to retrieve Sasuke. The team of Chouji, Kiba, Naruto, Shikamaru, and Neji depart on their search. W hen Sasuke meets up with the Sound four, they tell him to take a pill that will kill him. And put him in a barrel with a seal that prevents him from actually dying. While they are moving towards Sound village, they are challenged by a group of Konoha Jounins who are quickly and viciously defeated by the Sound Four.
Meanwhile, Shikamaru's team is struggling to avoid the numerous booby traps set up by the Sound Four. They soon stumble upon the Sound Four resting, and are discovered by a trap that was set. Three of the four flee, and Jiroubou is left behind to take our heroes on. He quickly traps them in a barrier of earth that drains their chakra. Shikamaru cooks up a strategy and uses Chouji and Neji to break out of the barrier. The team must move on, so Chouji stays behind to take on Jiroubou. Their fight is kind of one sided, as Jiroubou clearly shows that he has more strength. Until Chouji eats the first of 3 secret Houren Pills that gives him a great deal of chakra. He uses this to perform the Mega Multi-Size no jutsu and crush Jiroubou. Unfortunately, it seems that he "used level 2" and avoided injury.
The fight between Chouji and Jiroubou continues, with Chouji's Mega Multi-Size no Jutsu being broken by Jiroubou's level 2 curse seal. However, Chouji eats the last of his pills, and gains powers of super strength and quickly and powerfully destroys his opponent.
Naruto finally completes the second step of his new Jutsu, and Orochimaru finds Tsunade. He then asks that she repair his arms, and explains how they became the way they were. As a bargaining tool, he uses the allure of her two loved ones being revived by Orochimaru's technique. Naruto and Jiraiya come inches from finding Tsunade, but she had just left. Feeling discouraged, Jiraiya decides that they will eat at a pub. Luckily, Tsunade was there and Jiraiya can tell her of the proposal from Konoha's government. Tsunade declines, and this angers Naruto immensely.
He then challenges Tsunade to a fight outside, which he has little chance of winning. Tsunade defeats Naruto with one finger, but she sees that Naruto can almost use the extremely difficult technique: Rasengan. Because of this she makes a bet with him, if he can master the technique within a week, he can have her extremely valuable necklace. Naruto trains vigorously, to the point of near unconsciousness. Meanwhile Tsunade and Jiraiya have a drink, and Tsunade leaves Jiraiya an unsuspected "present" in his drink.
Jiraiya and Tsunade vs. Orochimaru
Jiraiya wakes from a bad hangover, aided by an incapacitating drug from Tsunade. He returns to Naruto and Shizune in a lot of pain, explaining that Tsunade has gone after Orochimaru. Meanwhile, Tsunade meets with Orochimaru, and declines his offer. This sets into motion a fight between her, Kabuto, and Orochimaru. They take the fight elsewhere, and Tsunade puts up a good fight against Kabuto. However, Kabuto gains the upper hand when he takes a takes advantage of Tsunade's fear of blood. Before Kabuto finishes Tsunade, paralyzed with fear, Jiraiya, Shizune and Naruto appear to intervene. Naruto takes on Kabuto, and Jiraiya takes on Orochimaru.
Naruto defeats Kabuto with his Rasengan, now perfected, and is severely injured from it. Orochimaru detours from his fight to try to take out the incapacitated Naruto, but his sword is caught by Tsunade's shoulder, then her side, and finally, she takes the sword right through her chest. At this point she overcomes her fear of blood, and activates the seal on her forehead, healing herself completely. She then proceeds to join the fight, summoning her giant animal: a slug, to join with Jiraiya's toad and Orochimaru's Snake. The three Sannin and their animals face off, and the pair of Jiraiya and Tsunade emerge victorious. Tsunade is low on chakra, and we see her hand returning to its old-looking form. They all recover, and proceed to return to Konoha.
Konohagakure Village is launched into war for the first time in years. Kazekage reveals himself to be Orochimaru in disguise, and he and Hokage begin their fight on the rooftop of the main building of the stadium. Kakashi and other jounins fight in the stands, and Sakura awakens her comrades. Kakashi then assigns Sakura, Naruto, Shikamaru, and the little dog Pakkun on another A-Rank mission: to find and rescue Sasuke who had run off after Gaara.
Hokage and Orochimaru's fight continues. Meanwhile the group sent after Sasuke is being pursued by nine sound ninjas. In order to delay these, Shikamaru stays behind. Back at the stadium, Hokage uses a forbidden technique invented by the fourth Hokage to seal the souls of the first two, and tries to do the same to Orochimaru. Orochimaru successfully wards off the technique for the time being. Meanwhile, Sasuke catches up with the three from the Sand, and Kankuro decides to take him on in order to delay his movement. However, Shino steps in and takes this fight, allowing Sasuke to continue pursuing Gaara. When Sasuke finally catches up with Gaara, he begins to transform into his true demon form, and Shino's fight ends with Shino as the unconscious victor.
Sasuke and Gaara's fight continues, and Sasuke pushes the three-time limit on his chidori. Before Sasuke can be further injured, Naruto arrives and steps in. Sakura tends to Sasuke, and Gaara goes straight towards him. Sakura stands in defense of Sasuke, and this triggers a flashback in Gaara's brain. Some of Gaara's painful past is revealed to us, and his fight with Naruto begins. Naruto's frightening power shocks Sasuke, as he pummels on a partially transformed Gaara, and later summons GamaBunta to fight with a fully transformed Gaara.
The Search for the next Hokage
Gaara and Naruto's fight concluded, as well as the jounin's fight at the stadium. Meanwhile, Hokage continues to try to seal Orochimaru's soul. Unable to do this, he instead seals the soul of Orochimaru's arms. He then pays the price of the technique: his life. Having failed at their attempt to overtake Konoha, Sound and Sand retreat. Two mysterious ninjas appear on Konoha's walls, and Hokage's funeral quickly commences. Without a Hokage, two higher-ups in Konoha's government ask Jiraiya to take the role; however, he declines and states that he will find Tsunade-hime to take the job.
Meanwhile Kakashi waits for Sasuke at a nearby teashop when Kurenai and Asuma enter. Two mysterious cloaked ninjas disappear from their places at the teashop and Kakashi and the jounins follow. The jounins and the two ninjas, Uchiha Itachi and his comrade Kisame, fight, and our heroes emerge as the losers. Luckily a question from Kakashi prompts the two to retreat before they are hurt any more. Then Jiraiya takes Naruto off with him to train and find Tsunade-hime, and Itachi encounters Naruto in his hotel room.
They want to kidnap Naruto. However, Naruto won’t go without a fight. He tries to gather Kyuubi's chakra, but is stopped by Kisame. Just as Kisame swings his sword down to cut off Naruto's arm to prevent his flight, a toad drops in and blocks. Jiraiya arrives to save Naruto and begins to fight the two Akatsuki members. Meanwhile, Sasuke arrives and challenges his brother. Unfortunately, he is quickly taken down. After the fight, Naruto and Jiraiya keep moving in search of Tsunade. Jiraiya decides to teach Naruto the technique Rasengan. Meanwhile, Orochimaru schemes to find Tsunade as well, though his intention is to make her heal his arms.
After the second test, a preliminary match is next, where the remaining genins will fight each other to enter the finals.After the fight of Naruto, the next is the fight between Ino and Sakura, followed by TenTen vs Temari, which is finished before anyone begins to pay attention to it. Next came the fight between Hinata and Neji. After that, the most intense fight of the prelims, Gaara vs Rock Lee, begins.
The intense battle between Gaara and Rock Lee ensues, and in an extreme demonstration of raw speed and skill, Lee dominates the beginning of the battle against all odds, and he harms the un-harmable man. This wonderfully exciting battle ends in disappointment and upset when Lee discovers his fate. Soon after this battle's end Chouji loses his fight, and the preliminaries come to a close. The Genins all chose lots to decide their order in the finals.
Meanwhile, Orochimaru and Kabuto meet and talk, and Kabuto show hints of betrayal, but he still follows Orochimaru's orders and goes to kidnap Sasuke. Kakashi and Kabuto face off, and Kabuto gets away. Then Naruto asks Kakashi to train him, though instead Kakashi instructs him that Ebisu will train him. Ebisu attempts to do so until a white haired peeping tom and a big frog interrupt him.
It’s Training Time!!!
Naruto is training with Jiraiya, the white haired peeping tom, but making very little progress. Naruto begins to learned Kuchiyose no Jutsu and about his inner demon. On the other hand, Sakura goes to visit Lee in the hospital, and notices that even in his injured state that he is still vigorously training.
Meanwhile, Naruto and Jiraya are still training, and Jiraiya pushes Naruto's limits in order to unlock Kyuubi's power and Naruto's ability to summon GamaBunta: the toad boss. While Baki is away visiting Sand Country, Gaara pays Rock Lee a visit and attempts to kill him. Luckily, Shikamaru and Naruto step in in time and keep Gaara from finishing his task, and they learn a little about Gaara's dark philiosophy. Next, Naruto moves to the location of the final test, and meets Hinata on the way. Now the true games commence, the final rounds begin, and only the late Dosu and Sasuke are not present.
The Jounin Exam: The Main Event
The first fight is between Naruto and Hyuuga Neji. Naruto learns of the Hyuuga clan's dark history, and defeats his opponent in an upset victory. Old wounds between Neji and Hinata's father are patched up, and the tournament continues. Up next is Sasuke. Unfortunately, Sasuke is still missing. The rules dictate a disqualification, but Hokage and Kazekage agree to overlook this rule and move on to the next match: Kankuro vs Aburame Shino. Kankuro suspiciously wants to get to the Sasuke vs Gaara fight, and forfeits his match from the stands. A panicked Shikamaru, expecting to go last in the first round, is now officially up second. Temari vs Shikamaru match starts, and Shikamaru shows off his extreme strategic ability and high IQ to come so close to winning the match, but instead, he forfiets due to a lack of chakra and willpower.
The next fight is between Sasuke and Gaara. Sasuke appears in a tornado of leaves with his sensei, and Gaara goes to start the match, and kills two ninjas who ask him to lose for the sake of a bet. Naruto and Shikamaru are nearby, and are scared to death by Gaara's cold-heartedness. Naruto then proceeds to run to Kakashi in order to warn him. Meanwhile, Sasuke and Gaara's fight begin. Sasuke shows that he has acquired Lee's speed, and the fight becomes very interesting. Gaara surrounds himself in an impenatrable sphere of sand, and Sasuke attacks it in futility. Then Sasuke unleashes his Chidori, and pierces the shield.
Having severely wounded the untouchable man, Sasuke is frightened by an extremely evil chakra within the shield, and a strange eye that is imprinted on his mind. Gaaras shield collapses.
In my elementary years, there was a rumor about the possibility of the end of the world if Pope John Paul II will die. Well, last April 08, I learned that this rumor has a basis. While waiting in the airport I’ve read an article about the papal prophecy of St. Malachy (Found in the April 8 edition of Manila Bulletin). According to the article, St. Malachy had a vision of the popes that will come before the end of the world. He gave them titles that will be associated with them. And coincidentally, all the titles given to them are somehow connected to them. For examples,Pope Nicholas IVwas given the titleEx eremo celsus (elevated from a hermit)and it shows that prior to his election he was a hermit in the monastery of Pouilles.Pope Clement V, on the other hand, was given the title De fessis Aquitanicis (ribbon of Acquitane) and he was the archbishop of Bordeaux in Aquitane.Pope Paul VI meanwhile was given the title Flos florum (flower of flowers) and it was discovered that his arms displayed three lilies. The title given to Pope John Paul II is De labore Solis (of the eclipse of the sun, or from the labor of the sun)and it was also correct because he was born during a solar eclipse and there was also a solar eclipse during his funeral. He is also the most traveled pope.
& nbsp; Here’s the interesting part, according to him, there will be only 266 popes before the end of the world and Pope John Paul II is the 264th pope. The 266th pope, the last pope was given the title Petrus Romanus (Peter the Roman). But some says that in the original list, Petrus Romanus is not in the list so some say that Gloria olivae (Glory of the Olives), the 265th pope is the last pope and the 266th pope is the antichrist. Nobody knows what would Gloria olivae means but some scholars says that maybe the pope will come from the branch of Benedictine order called The Olivetans. To add to that, St. Benedict is said to have prophesied that before the end of the world, a member of his order would be Pope and would triumphantly lead the Church in its fight against evil.
& nbsp; Then the 20th of April came and the Conclave had elected Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger to be the next pope. He chose the name Pope Benedict XVI in honor of Pope Benedict XV, a pope of peace and reconciliation. Now, do you see any connection to the title given to the 265th pope?
