Ironically enough, there is a character in the Leaf villages R&D team who's whole purpose in life is to read these books, if I remember correctly Jiraiya's books are actually a series of extremely intricate codes, that are literally written to send intelligence back home Somebody back me up or correct me if I'm horribly loving wrong

That never actually happened, but he did use his books to send Naruto a coded message once.

He also did try to not write hentai, but it sold terribly.

gently caress, like I said, its been a long rear end time since I've actually watched or read anything on this series, I stopped shortly after he died, Wasn't Naruto actually named after the character in that book?

The Tale of the Utterly Gutsy Ninja was Jiraiya's first book, and it bombed. It was about a ninja named Naruto fighting for peace. Naruto was named after that guy, and Jiraiya is Naruto's godfather. After that he wrote hentai like Makeout Paradise, Makeout Violence, and Makeout Tactics.

Yes, Naruto is named after the main character in Jiraiya's first novel. Jiraiya got the name 'Naruto' randomly while he was eating ramen, which of course makes Naruto part-ramen. I think.

Yep, Jiraiya just happened to be eating ramen when he wrote it. And that is the cannon reason for Naruto's name.

Nagato "Pein" Uzumaki

Pein has the rinnegan (lit. "reincarnation eye") bloodline, which gives him yet another variety of overpowered eyeball. The rinnegan doesn't even have the decency to pretend most of its power is eye-related, either, and mostly gives lots of unrelated ultrapowers. A rinnegan's powers includes but is not limited to the ability to control multiple dead bodies, seeing and living through their eyes, and each of Pein's six corpses gets their own over the top power. Peinzombies get individual access to gravity magic, summoning magic (the ninja animals summoned are also zombies), magic eating magic, white magic, mind reading magic, and heavy armor and modern weapons like guns and missiles. The rinnegan also lets you see magic, let you cast any spell, gives magic disruption attacks that can cause Silence, and to top it all off you can cast true resurrection spells. And (oh my god) Pein is an Uzumaki and has their boosted HP/MP and magic chains. gently caress this guy.

I feel it's prudent to note that no, Naruto does not also have these bullshit eyes despite being Pein's younger brother. They're half-brothers, and Pein got it from his dad while Naruto got fuckall except a fox that caused his childhood to be a living hell from Narudad.

Narudad was basically as big a fuckup as his son.

So where the gently caress do the samurai factor into all this ninja bullshit? Because all of a sudden in the last batch of videos it's like "SAMURAI LEADER MIFUNE" and all I can think is "I thought this hentai was about ninjas?" Do they have their own villages and bullshit eye-powers? My god, is there a whole side-story about a poor neglected boy with a demon in him who wants to become Samurai President?

Samurai exist and have have their own magic. Samurai are samurai, honorable swordmasters and virtuous warriors. They tend to be less than effective against tricky ninja assassins, but some are strong enough to give ninja armykillers pause. Samurai are the military power in Iron Country.

Samurai are the Ninja Swiss. Neutral, but tough. Also not ninjas, but have laser swords.

Also I think Pein got his Ultra Bullshit Eyes because I think Madara shoved one of his spare eyeballs into him when he wasn't looking and Uchiha Bullshit Eyes + Uzumaki(or First President) bloodline boosted MP/HP is like Peanutbutter + Chocolate and they synergize together into something stupid.

One of his spare eyeballs? How many spare eyeballs does he have?

...I'm not sure if I want to know if there's a ninja who gets a ton of the special eyeballs surgically added to themselves. Judging by the horrific experiments that have been mentioned, it could have been forced on this theoretical ninja. And since it was mentioned that not being born with the eye and having it causes it to use stupid amounts of chakra/mp/hp that's spent to cast ninja spells, then I guess there's only a few that would be able to do it. Naruto has some stupid high amount of it, doesn't he? I think I recall it having to do with the nine tails thing?

I do have a lore question pertaining to what was in one of the streams. When I was half paying attention to cutscene.

Narudad apparently sealed half of Nine-tails into himself, and said that this half would be 'gone forever'. Is that just because of the seal he just used? Just locked it up in his soon to be corpse? Or is it something to do with the fact that he took half the chakra, then sealed it in Naruto? Would Naruto dying just... end Nine-tails existence? I mean, there seems to be a 'die and release', but the fact that Narudad split the chakra in half might change that or something. Since the other half is apparently 'lost forever', and all.

Given that there's a guy that can revive corpses, Naruto is going to have to fight Narudad, isn't he? And it's going to be a stupid mirror fight where Narudad has Nine-tails powers as well. And it's going to be in this game, since why put that giant cutscene in this game if it wasn't?

I'm kind of surprised you managed to guess...

Naruto also just happened to have a shitton of MP anyway. The nine tails just added to it to make it stupid high.

When Narudad sealed the Nine Tails, he did two important minor things. First, he changed the seal so that if Naruto dies, the Fox dies, but it can still be released or re-sealed into a new host if needed. Second, he takes half the demon's magic, because it's somehow deadly poison, and traps it and himself in the stomach of the Death God to be digested for all eternity.

Narudad does come back as a demon vessel later and it's just as stupid as you'd imagine. I don't know if it's in this game.

We've never seen Madara without his one-eyed mask. Presumably the covered eye is missing.

I already have it cut up and they should be processing at home as we speak. Its now the issue of working with xumtosis' schedule (HOW THE gently caress DO YOU SLEEP ALL DAY) and getting guests who actually will put up with this. Audio editing etc is all easy and then all thats left is banners.
