Chiriku
Naruto Shippuden 76-77 released
The fan sub (english) episode of Naruto Shippuden 76-77 has been released in the dattebayo website. I am downloading it at the moment, although I have watched it once.
Exchange of Chiriku’s dead body
An important part of this episode is the location of the exchange point. Kakuzu, the money maker of Akatsuki goes to the exchange point to get the body exchanged. The exchange point is in a bathroom. Hidan thinks that Kakuzu is going there to take a leak, but he actually goes there to get the body. He talks with the guy who exchanges the body and starts to count the money.
New type of Rasengan
Naruto and Kakashi are training on a new type of Rasengan. A technique that even Kakashi has not mastered, a technique that the fourth hokage, the creator of rasengan was not able to perform. It mainly involves combining wind element and rasengan. Kakashi tells that Chidori works on that principle and that Chidori is a lower version of this method.
Naruto loses control but Captain Yamato uses his justsu to bring Naruto back in control. The loss of control might be involved with Kyuubi’s chakra coming out.
He also tells that this technique is greater than S-Rank technique.
Spoiler: This technique is banned by Hokage Tsunade in the future cos it causes cellular damage.
Attack on Hidan
Team Asuma attack Hidan. Shikamaru Nara captures him with his shadow sewing technique (update: download just completed) and the other two guys hit him with their blades. They forget that Hidan is immortal.
Hidan fights team Asuma
After Team Asuma attacking Hidan, he starts fighting with them, while Kakuzu waits and watches for the fight to get over. Mainly Asuma is attacking him and Shikamaru is trying to corner him using the shadow sewing technique. Its basically getting a bit hard for them, but they are trying real well.
Reception
The fight between Hidan and Asuma is good. Especially when Asuma uses Chiriku’s special power, every one is amazed. Although I think that they should not have killed Chiriku like that. It was an over all good episode with lot of nice revelations. Other teams are going to come and catch up to these guys.
I was wondering if I should start showing the Naruto Shippuuden videos here, what do you think?
