A lot of people were aware of the powers possessed by the Nine Tails, and the chaos that would erupt as soon as The Nine Tails hovered out of control was pretty predictable.

Madara fails to exercise enough control over The Nine Tails, as he is eventually forced to release it. As a result, it starts wrecking havoc of an unimaginable scale.

Though the Third Hokage tries his levels best to push the creature out bounds of the village, the Nine Tails proves out to be more powerful and a creature, beyond his control.

As a download of the last installment of Naruto Shippuden depicts, lucky for the village, Minato arrives and pledges to take down the seemingly invincible Nine Tails. With the help of the Gamabunta toad, Minato is able to restrain the creature for a time period long enough for his family to carry it outside the village.

But, The Nine Tails was no ordinary creature that could be gotten rid of by sheer transportation. Kushina arrives at the scene to offer Minato assistance by using her chakra to bind the creature.

Minato gets ready for the ultimate sacrifice as he feels only by using both, the Death Reaper seal, and the Eight Trigrams seal can he seal away half of the Nine Tails chakra and contain the rest in Naruto.

The sacrifice is made, and only now is Naruto able to tame the Nine Tails. Naruto knows that without Minato and Kushina, it would have been difficult for him to save his life this time.

The installment ends with Minato and Kushina blurring out their last words closing their eyes forever, and thereby, securing their friend’s life from all the danger brought forth by the Nine Tails.

So yeah, Naruto has been lucky with friends, who have been there no matter what.

The number ‘10’ is always one to celebrate, in every aspect of life. When someone crosses the ’10-year’ milestone, it is usually a symbol of establishment and success that proves that one is here to stay. And even if he isn’t, at least he has etched a mark and left behind a legacy worth remembering.

Naruto Shippuden has reached that glorious mark, and the team behind the show is in a mood to celebrate. What’s more, they are giving their diehards a chance to join in the fun, by putting up Naruto-exclusive watches for sale.

The watches, designed especially for the tenth anniversary of the show, are named ‘Toki no Jin’, which is the Japanese expression for ‘Battle Formation of Time’. The watches are being marketed by a Japanese mail order retailer, Imperial Enterprise, and are priced at around $319.13.

So if you are in a mood to splurge, and would like to join in the celebrations, then you know what to do! However, for those of you who aren’t quite up for parting away with your precious pennies, there is always the option of getting a download of the latest Naruto Shippuden episodes, and celebrating with the characters we all so love!

Talking of the design of the watches, they have Kunai-shaped minute and hour hands, which gives them that ‘anime’ edge. Just imagine sporting one of these exquisitely designed watches and flaunting that enigmatic look! I’m almost tempted to get one for myself. But on second thoughts, who would want to spend more than $300 on a show’s merchandise! Except an absolute diehard!

If you are still battling with the thought of whether you are ready to buy one, then all that I’d say is go for it, if you can afford it. After all, with only 9,999 watches being up for sale, this isn’t a chance worth missing!

As for the rest of you who are on ‘Team Me’, how about just imagining that there was never any such offer? LOL!

You know, every time I watch the series, I always wonder who has lent his voice to Naruto Uzumaki.

Well, did you know that the voice of Naruto, in Naruto Shippuden, is lent by a she and not a he?

I went online to check the fact and to my surprise, I found out the info to be true.

Ms. Junko Takeuchi, is a popular voice-over artist from Saitama, Japan and is known to lend her voice to young male anime characters in a very unique way.

Sources revealed that she will be flying to New York for the sixth annual New York Anime Fest. The festival is scheduled from October 13-16, 2011.

The New York Anime Fest is a part of the popular NYCC (New York Comic Con). Each year, NYCC attracts scores of comic, films and anime devotees, from across the world.

I can, without a doubt, call the festival the Mecca of anime and comic. Wouldn’t you?

The New York Anime festival focuses on manga, anime and Japanese pop culture. Viz Media invited Junko Takeuchi, as it completed 25 years as Comic Con’s panelist. Junko will take part in a panel and will talk about the film. She will also spend time with the fans and sign out autographs.

The feature film, Naruto Shippuden The Movie: Bonds, is about a group of flying ninjas, who arrive at the Hidden Leaf Village, only to bushwhack it and unleash brutal carnage. They are Sky Ninjas from the Land of Sky; their nation was once destroyed by the Hidden Leaf Village. Naruto and his friend set off to put an end to all this and save their village.

Lance Fenstermann, the show manager of NYCC and NYAF expressed how honored he is that Ms. Jenki Takeuchi will be a part of this year’s comic con and I agree with him completely!

Go Jenki go!

We all have differing opinions on what a perfect teacher should be like.

While some believe that a great teacher is one, who is friendly and interactive with his students, others opine that teachers should be strict and capable of imposing discipline.

I’m not too sure, which kind of teachers I personally prefer, but I must admit of having been envious of Naruto and his teammates on occasions, as they were mentored by Kakashi Hatake.

Who wouldn’t want to attend a class with a teacher like him?

The most intriguing part about Kakashi has always been his enigmatic personality.

The mask that he covers half of his face with, leaves a lot to the imagination, and the smitten fan of his that I am, I love to imagine him as the most handsome that a man can possibly be!

If you are thinking of that as a case of my imagination stretching too far, I’ve got facts to support my assumption.

Remember the episode when the two employees at the Ichiraku ramen shop were awestruck, as he unveiled his face to eat?

The expressions on their faces were enough to let us know that Kakashi is beyond perfection.

Oh, and then there was that other episode, in which his pack of dogs tried to remember what he looked like.

Even though their imaginations were different from each other, the images that they conjured were all ethereally beautiful, once again proving just how good-looking this guy is!

Apart from his looks, what is really attractive about him is the bad-boy side to him.

The poignant look on his face as he says that all those dear to him are dead, and his way of being fiercely protective about his dreams, saying they are “none of your business” is oh-so-hot!

I wish I could go into the details of his teaching methodologies, which leave me stunned each time I watch the show, but I’m not going to ruin the fun for you.

A better idea would be to download the recent episodes of Naruto Shippuden and see it all for yourself!

All the secrets of the ninjas are now revealed! Yes, those including the world of Naruto Shippuden as well!

Ninjas are known for their superhuman skills, and are everyone’s fantasy.

And do you know what makes a ninja a ninja?

It’s Jutsu!

Yes, you read it right!

This is basically a technique that a ninja uses, to do all that stupendous stuff that makes us go WOW!

Jutsu can be broadly categorized into three segments – genjutsu, taijutsu, and ninjutsu!

But it is not as easy as it sounds, because jutsu is not that easy to perform!

One can do it by manipulating the chakras, by using both, physical as well as mental energy. Mastering your body and mind is not child’s play; it takes hard work and immense dedication.

These chakras move in the body, in the same way that our circulatory system moves, and finally reaches one of the 361 charka release points in our body.

These can now be manipulated to perform different techniques, by using anyone of the hand seal sequence.

Sounds killer!

Not just that, the ninjas can also manipulate the elements of nature – earth, water, air, fire, and lightening, and by controlling their chakras, they can change it into one of the elements of nature, to conquer other ninja.

Watch for the jutsu technique, that you can see in Naruto Shippuden. This is something you can catch up in its segments online as well!

First, we have Ninjutsu, which is a simple technique used for various stunts like protecting themselves from natural elements, healing others, and all.

Next is Genjutsu, where a ninja can use the chakra in the victim’s mind and make him feel some illusions to manipulate him.

We also have Taijutsu, which is hand-to-hand combat at a high pace.

Doing Sealing jutsu is a lot of fun, because herein, a ninja can hide anything inside like weapons or gadgets.

Watch them all in action in Naruto Shippuden!
