Naruto Sharingan

I first heard the concept of the AL as the Second Statue Guy from Odlam. So, thank you. Besides the general idea of it, everything else can be considered all me .....


This is very controversal. Threads have been created solely to disprove it: http://forums.narutofan.com/showthread.php?t=79418 and there also are some theories that work really well with it: http://forums.narutofan.com/showthread.php?t=78662 - Hope you enjoy.

I think the two statues from the Valley of the End are Shodai and the Akastuki leader ... and their friendship was somehow desolved due to differing ideas about using the Bijuu ... and setting up the current atmosphere and events. (this isn't an original theory - I can't find where I first heard it) I know I'm reaching but it also makes you wonder if Shodai died not so peacefully and at a former friends hand ... his soul was suspiciously young ...Shodai we know is dead. We don't know anything about the second statue guy ... and we don't know anything about the A.L.

They look oddly similar - and who else do we know (past or present) who sounds strong enough to face a living Shodaime (with his Mouton, Bijuu Control, and darkness Jutsu) and survive? Is it really so strange an idea to think the second guy might still be alive? Yes, that would make him older than Sandaime was when he died and about twice as old as the Sannin. But, if anyone could be this old, the Akatsuki Leader would be the guy. Remember, he was a former associate of Orochimaru, Mr. Immortality. AND we haven't gotten a good shot of him so who knows what the A.L. looks like.

What would be REALLY interesting is if we (the readers) ended up sympethizing more with the Akatsuki Leader than Shodai. What if Shodai was the one who wanted to use the dangerous Bijuu during wartime as such a huge threat (kinda like Nuclear weapons) that they scared all the nations into peacefulness by equally having such dangerous creature at their disposal. It might be the Akatsuki Leader who disagreed and just wanted the demons locked away or destroyed so that no one would ever be hurt again.

It seems that Shodaime and Yamato can control the Bijuus through the necklace by using some kind of jutsu. I remember Jiraiya said that the necklace was made from a very special type of material. Is it possible that the Tsunade's necklace and the Akatsuki's rings were actually made from the same kind of material and more fantastic still, this material doesn't belong to this world? This material might come from the world where the Bijuus or the Summons lived, probably the underworld and it may have some kind of power that can tame the Bijuus. However this power is accessible only to a few people in Narutoverse who know a special jutsu and the AL is one of the few. To the others who can't perform the jutsu, these rings and necklace are nothing more than some expensive jewellery. What do you think? Do you think the connection between the necklace and the Akatsuki's rings is possible?

Wow! I love it! I disagree with the ideas on the origin of the material (too Superman Kryptomite) in the jewelry ... but I really do think there is a connection - and it might be the connection is that it is the SAME material!

I do worry that there is no evidence they work the same way. We haven't seen a Akatsuki member "control" a Bijuu yet in the way it sounds like Yamato will control Kyuubi with the necklace - the rings instead have only helped to actually extract one .... but they haven't been shown to have an effect on the Jinchuuriki (either before or while transformed - it is suspicious that anytime Naruto or Gaara faced an Akatsuki member, they haven't transformed or been prevented from staying that way), so that is speculation.
