SpoilerThis is pretty legit explanation. It also makes Oro broken as he can now spam summon grim reaper no jutsu without dying.:smallbiggrin:

SpoilerIts even worse than that. It means every time he uses it, he removes TWO people from play. The soul he seals away, and the body he takes over. Of course, if thats the case it leaves him open to a standard wrong choice scenario. Where he tries to jump into someone that can resist him. It would be the whole sasuke takeover attempt all over again.
SpoilerMy only question is why didn't Orochimaru didn't do this before.
I understand why he didn't do it during the first year after he just got his armed sealed after the invasion, supposedly Orochimaru had to do research on the Uzumaki clan for he hand no knowledge of the Reaper God Seal. Orochimaru had to learn knowledge to be able to heal himself and his sealed arms.
But his knowledge post time skip at the very beginning of Shippuden should be the same knowledge that Orochimaru has now. It should be the same knowledge that Orochimaru had when he wrote the scroll that should have changed the fate of the war. We learn that this episode that this scroll tells about Uzamaki sealing secrets and how to summon the death god.
So why didn't Orochimaru heal his arms at the very beginning of Shippuden?
You could make the arguement that he needed to return to the location of the Uzumaki shrine. The Uzumaki shrine is (probably) located in Konoha, and with having his arms sealed seriously weakened him so he couldn't fight his way through Konoha. That with the war being fought and the pain invasion Konoha is seriously undefended that he could just waltz in their and take the Uzamaki mask. This logic would work if Orochimaru had to fight his way through Konoha...
But this logic doesn't work in reality for Orochimaru is former agent of Konoha and knows most if not all Konoha's secrets and defenses. He knows about the sensing barrier and how to bypass it, he has done so in the past in part 1 prior to the Chunnin exams. He knows Konoha defenses so well he is able to get two entire armies through and actually invade Konoha. Why would Orochimaru would have to fight when all he had to do was sneak and be silent and act as a ninja.
It makes no sense for Orochimaru to not be completely restored to his full strength at the being of part 2 (when Shippuden begins.)
Can anybody find any rationale or is this just a big plot hole?
SpoilerI'm going to ignore any holes because that was awesome and fairly unexpected. Also, I don't mind having Oro brought back now because it fixes something. That was proof that he is the true master of Edo Tensi.
SpoilerIs Orochimaru having 3rd and 4th Hokages' DNA readily available for Edo a plot hole? 3rd I can understand but 4th...
And Zetsus inside Sasuke? Hur hur hur...
Wait, half of Kurama's chakra is sealed inside shinigami's stomach. Power boost, anyone?
SpoilerHe had the 4th's dna already, he tried to summon the first, second, and fourth during the invasion and the third prevented the 4th from appearing.
Me and my memory. Well, to my defense I watched part one around ~06.:smallbiggrin:
Well, uptting aside the issue that the finale of the Chunin arc was pretty unreasonable, nobody can prove they didn't tighten/change their defenses and thus couldn't sneak back in. Also, he was weaker what with the loss of his arms so getting found out would be more troublesome.
And, I don't know why, but for somereason they went to the secret Uchiha hole for the ritual. If that was required it's likely he couldn't get there without... an Uchiha. (Yeah, yeah, he had Sasuke with him then but even IF he was willing to cooperate to help Oro at that point to regain his power the matter of Konoha security is still up.
What? HOW?! Why?
Spoiler
They could have changed the the actuall placement of the defenses after the invasion (and after Itachi waltzed right in there), while still keeping the same type of defenses (since Pain knew about the sensing barrier during the invasion arc.)
If that was the case then someone would have tried to attack Sasuke and Orocohimaru when they visited the Uchihia shrine. You don't leave your village completely defenseless during war, sure these Konoha ninja would have been butchered by Sasuke. Yet we see no dead bodies or such when Orochimaru and pals went to visit the Uchihia shrine.
-----
They did not went to the Uchihia shrine to revive the four hokages, this could have been done anywhere all you needed was the Uzumaki mask and 4 sacrifices. They went to the Uchihia shrine for there is something special their that the 4 people who know everything is going to show Sasuke and Orochimaru
Orochimaru waiting to now to become complete is the plot hole, he just needed the knowledge of the Uzumaki mask and to obtain the Uzumaki mask to perform the ritual. Something which he should be able to do at the beginning of part 2. This is the plot hole. What isn't a plot hole is summoning the 4 hokages or us the readers going to learn the secrets behind all the lies.
SpoilerThere's a big difference between Itachi and Oro in the case of overcoming the changing of :the actual placement of the defenses," and that's the sharingan. Sure, Oro knew enough to slip through the barrier, but if the barrier was changed in any way I'd reckon he wouldn't be able to find those spots or whatever easily. I'm going to take a stab and say he was waiting to possess Sasuke before infiltrating Konoha again.
SpoilerThat is actually a good rationale. Make many of the defenses seeable by doujutsu would explain why Pain and Itachi attacked Konoha but Orochimaru did not with the exception of the Chunnin exams where he had overwhelming force.
That is good enough for me.
To be fair, Pain just plain ignored the defenses.
One last thing I thought up.
SpoilerSasuke is in room with a ninja who has previously tried to steal his body. And who just summoned 4 edo tenseis known to be rather powerful. Oro has Kabuto's memories, so chances are he knows how the fight between them went...
Snakes!
SpoilerMy first thoughts on the plot holes:
Perhaps Naruto does know about the Uzamaki shrine but just sees it as a room full of masks? If I recall correctly, he showed up to get his genin photo taken with a mask and a costume and I wouldn't put it past him to have stolen one from the family wall.
As for Oro, perhaps it was an issue of timing instead of capability. Who knows how long the displaced souls can be kept around once released and if he had done Edo Tensei as soon as possible, perhaps they would've figured out how to break free of it eventually. It seems to me like this is a trump card play and Oro's been waiting to use it at the right moment.
SpoilerOr perhaps, Naruto has never visited the shrine because he doesn't know anything about his heritage. Or didn't, anyway.
I mean, I doubt people were lining up to tell him about the Uzumaki temple.
I am going to try and clear up all the plot holes with this chapter.
SpoilerHow did Orochimaru get the DNA? He had all four souls. I am taking a good guess that the souls can be a good DNA supplement for Edo Tensei.
Why didn't Orochimaru fix himself earlier? Three possible reasons. Over the two year break, Tsunade could've changed everything security wise. Since so many people were breaking into the village.
Second reason, was because if my theory is true, Orochimaru after using the mask, sacrifices his body to the death god. Which means he has to have another open body to jump into, after he gets his arms back. Of course, if the souls of the hokage leave, without being captured, they will probably be free. So for Oro's plan to work he needs 5 bodies. One for him, and one for each hokage. Finding 5 people to break into Konoha, and then taking on all 5 people, with no jutsu would be difficult.
Because as soon as he gets his arms back, his body will be taken by the death god. So if he tries to jump into a strong host who isn't willing, he will need to fight with them. While he is fighting over the body, the souls of the hokage may have all ready fled. The entire scene happened fairly quickly, from shinigami summon to edo tensei.
Not to mention the zetsu body just got taken down by the team, and was pinned. The Zetsu haven't been shown to be such capable fighters.
The third reason Suigetsu comments you need a jutsu to open the giant Uchiha door. This could POSSIBLY mean that only an Uchiha can open it. Because Sauske was the only one by the door in one panel as it is opening. But the next page shows Orochimaru by it as well, so it could have been him.
Any other plot holes?
Also, Orochimaru in a ZETSU body. He now has Hashirama cells, on top, of what broken powers he all ready has. Along with the four hokage. All though they still may or may not be under his control.
To be fair, I think Edo!Hashirama could take on Edo!Madara, if he was lucky. Which may be what it is all leading up to.
Hashirama vs Madara, Kakashi vs Obito, Naruto vs Sauske
SpoilerNeedless to say, I enjoy recent developments. Oro has his arms back, has a new body with Hashirama's cells, and four awesome super zombies. He probably also has dragon sage mode, where else would Kabutomaru have got it?
Actualy Kabutomaru directly stated that he had surpassed Orochimary when he managet to find the Snake sage, and learn the sage art from him.Quote:

Good catch, Drolyt. Didn't someone also predict that Oro will take over Sasuke and Naruto has to save him?
About the Dragon sage mode, relevant pages would be 12-13 and 16-17 from chapter 579. Oro will probably have the know-how, but does Zetsu's body stand nature energy? I can only imagine the answer being...maaybe?
Hmm...if Orochimaru had the ability to Dragon Sage mode, he coooould use the Zetsu's body to spawn clones to copy Naruto's style of "using clones to generate energy"
Urgh, do we really want the original pedophile snake guy to turn into our BIG Bad? Getting defeated by his own pupil seemed to be a fitting end for me but apparently Kishi really plans to have him stick around longer... for what reason, I'm not sure. But if he really does take over Madara in the end or something else like that... it would lower my opinion of the plot again.
SpoilerIs it me or did know one think "He has the 3rd Hokage, everyone is F'd" The third was called the God of Shinobi and took on his predecessors and Oro at once and won. Now he is in an undying body under Oro's control. I'm more worried about him than Mandara.
Well, this was my first guess, though of course I didn't know how they'd get the Hokages back. Close enough to my second guess of giant Hokage face golems though. :smalltongue:
A bit of an asspull on the mask temple though, yeah. Even with the coverup about Naruto's parents and it being outside the village, he should've learned about it soon after the invasion of Pain.
Also, the Third knew just about every nonsecret jutsu, didn't he? Oro could give Sasuke a super huge powerup with that...
but since he has Uchiha hax, he'll neglect to use it anyway.
SpoilerWe know the first hokage can match Madara, the third is the socalled "God of Shinobi" at max strength, and the fourth can almost match Madara, probably outmatch him. The only unknown factor is the second, but he'd probably comparable.
So yha, I think Madara's handled pretty well.
SpoilerCanonically Second is hailed as the most powerful water release user, can use good ol Space and Time ninjitsu, Bringer of Darkness genjutsu(should counter Sharingan/Rinnegan pretty well), and is strong in Taijitsu as well. He's as OP as any Kage :smallbiggrin:
He's also the inventor of Edo, I wonder if that comes into play..?
Edit: ok, 4 out of 5. It's better then I do most days.
Yes he was a better villain then any of the Uchia. I for one never considered that a fitting end. Sasuke being able to beat having his body taken over was just another example of unbelievable Uchia BS. Sasuke defecting to join Orochimaru was a terrible illogical plan. That it ended up working was utter crap.
Now I don’t like how Oro was able to come back, or the Uzumaki mask to get his arms back. But I would still rather read about him then the Uchia. Unfortunately we don’t just have him but are stuck with Sasuke taking up screen time with him. The only thing I would have against him taking over Madara or Tobi is that because for some odd reason he wasn’t able to do it to Sasuke it would imply he was better then them.
I don't know, how he came back kind of made sense, his cells were trying to take over Kabuto. It would have made more sense if it had been hinted at more though. The Uzumaki mask thing was weird, but I had been expecting someone to use the Shinigami like that for a while now. Maybe that was just me.
This depends on your taste, let's run it done we don't have that many Uchiha:
- Itachi:: first villainous Uchiha now that Kishi has recast him as a, shudder "good guy", doing Kohona's wetwork Oro's a better villain by default.
- Sasuke:: since for now he's put off his "slaughter everyone in Kohona plan", yeah like Kishi is going to let him :P, Oro wins by default again
- Obito:: yeah I agree with you here Oro's a better villain.
- Madara:: here it's just a matter of tastes, Madara is a warrior Oro is a wizard/scientist Madara wants to "save" the world through his philosophy Oro wants attain ultimate knowledge and become a perfect being.
How is it not a fitting end, you remember how emotional the fight between Oro and Hiruzen was, it's only fitting that Oro himself die at his apprentice's hand.
It's also fitting because Sasuke wouldn't have had the chance to kill him if Oro didn't tempt him to the dark side.
Meh Oro himself agreed that Sasuke was more talented than him at his age, and Oro was running on a counter due to his method of immortality.
Really, it was clear in part I that Kohona was absolutely passive on hunting Itachi down, in part II we now know why, Akatusky was on Itachi's side while Sound was the only one willing to actively support Sasuke both to tempt him to his side and because Oro himself hates Itachi.
Once you remember that Sasuke at that point didn't care if he died as long as he brought justice to his parents killer the plan starts to make more sense.
No offence and this applies to your whole post but it seems to me you're letting your hate of Sasuke cloud your judgement.
Well, without much quoting... while I don't hate Oro as a villain I'd take any of the Uchiha except Sasuke over him, anytime.
Oro isn't a terrible character and I like mad scientists usually but the wholepedophileobsession over Sasuke thing and the fact that he imo served his purpose of the story makes him much less attractive to me.
But then again I'll take a misguided villain with a crazy plan to save the world over some egocentric sadistic torturer anytime. (Okay, then again... I did like Kabuto. Maybe it's really just the Sasuke obsession that makes me dislike him)
Again in my humble opinion while "I want your body" and Michael Jackson jokes are funny, people have to remember Orochimaru is not really a paedophile his interest in Sasuke's body is for it's power, Orochimaru has never once shown sexual or romantic interest in any character in the manga.
Except maybe Anko.
:smalltongue:
Also, got a hard-on from this chapter. GO, IMMORTAL HOKAGE SUQAD, GO!
I like to imagine that Orochimaru, in the past, might of loved Tsunade. But he's kind of a creepy snake dude.
If anything he was the sasuke of that group, fawned over by tsunade but not really into her.
I like to imagine that Orochimaru, in the past, might of loved Jiraiya. Jiraiya, being in love with Tsunade at the time, rejected his advances. This caused Orochimaru to become evil out of spite/some other stupid reason for going evil. Jiraiya talked to Naruto about his feelings of personal responsibility toward Orochimaru going evil, and this is my personal canon as to why.
Of course, knowing Kishimoto, I know this is impossible and Orochimaru is horribly irredeemably evil with no humanizing traits whatsoever.
Oh god, really? It needs to be rejected love? Because, going evil because you got rejected from your love interest and then trying to destroy your hometown is totally a proper motivation...
Didn't Oro get his motivation flashback before he died? Isn't that enough?
Yeah, I know all the pedophile jokes having nothing to do with Or's real character, from all we know he might as well be asexual.
But still, he is a creepy snake person that uses people for creepy experiments to gain immortality. That's... really bad enough and cheap enough to not like him that much.
That's part of it Oro was the scientist all we ever knew about Madara was he was a good fighter. Yet Oro spent years doing weird experiments and was only able to get one person with wood powers after several failures. He didn't even realize he succeeded. Madara was somehow able to escape with his half dead body from the VOTE with some DNA and pump out zetsus?
Oro had crazy powers with his seals and regurgitating a fully healed body but with his abilities it just kind of worked people didn't cry foul. With the Uchia not so much. And yes a lot of it is probably from Sasuke with him and his eyes not being able to keep up with Lee to having copied Lee's moves and be as fast in so short amount of time. There was barely any time for us to say well ok the Sharingan does have some weakness and you still need to work hard before it was snatched away. Not seeing Sasuke work at all for all these powers and abilities did somewhat sour any liking of the Sharingan and Uchia. Many other people also feel that way. Even when he was with Oro we didn't see any training going on just Sasuke lounging around.
So if I like a villain without the Haxigan better then those who do I don‘t see that as clouded judgment. Even you said only Madara might be a better villain then Oro but it's a matter of taste.
I must have missed where Oro said Sasuke was better then him at that age. For most of the fight in the forest of death he seemed disappointed in his skills.
Kohona was passive on hunting Itachi down so going off himself to fight him would make sense. But it would need to be after he was a lot stronger and not going with Oro to do it. Oro, Itachi, and even Naruto who’s power Sasuke was getting jealous of all got strong in Konoha. He could have got strong in Konoha without the stupid risk of going with Oro and then gone it alone or brought some help. Most of the village might not be up for hunting after Itachi but Naruto stupidly thought of Sasuke as his brother and Sasuke obviously noticed how strong he was getting. If he asked Naruto would have helped him go after Itachi hopefully after they got skilled enough to stand a chance instead of whenever Sasuke got it into his head.
But hey Sasuke was obviously insane. He was willing to risk Oro taking his body thinking it would be worth it to have at least his body be the one to kill Itachi. After finding out Itachi had been in the village and put Kakashi in the hospital he charged out alone thinking he could kill him. Etc.
edit: Sorry looking back at my previous post it did seem like Sasuke was the only problem. I would be against Oro taking any of them over because Oro with the Sharingan would just lower his quality as a villain. It might be one of his big goals but his a villain actually reaching his goals isn’t likely. He has enough powers without getting eye hax and becoming cheap.
I HATED THAT. HATE HATE HATE! :smallfurious::smallfurious::smallfurious: If his abilities actually worked that way, then his body WOULDNT have stayed slow enough for lee to beat him senseless. If I watch a guy do the splits, I could copy him, but if my body isnt flexible enough, I am just going to tear something important trying to copy it. If I copy some Muay Tai and tries to smash my shin through concrete, my shin should fricking SHATTER because I havent gone through all the body training you need to be able to pull that off safely. And if some guy can run circles around you, you shouldnt be able to suddenly be as fast as he is, because he had to train for YEARS to build up his speed to that point. At best sasuke should have torn every muscle, ligament, and tendon in his body trying to use it.Quote:
With the Uchia not so much. And yes a lot of it is probably from Sasuke with him and his eyes not being able to keep up with Lee to having copied Lee's moves and be as fast in so short amount of time.
Also, I liked something that got brought up in a fanfic once. They mentioned that sasuke was able to copy part of a single special move of lee's. At the start of the fight he had no sharingan, and he only saw a little bit with it. He did NOT see enough of his style to copy it like that. Thats why he made his "shi shi rendan" because he had no idea how the move was supposed to end and had to make something up. That means Kakashi literally stole lees style with his own sharingan and gave it to sasuke. That is such a deep pile of horse crap that I almost wanted to kill kakashi myself when I realized it.
This kid has spent all his life desperately trying to prove he could be a splendid ninja. He busted his ass making those moves his, and mastering everything about them. He probably logged in 4x the total training time as sasuke had ever done, and in a month kakashi stole it and gave it to sasuke to use. Can you imagine how that would make lee feel? "Your years of training just proves you are a failure, I can do everything you can do with only a months work loser."
Oro didn't use exactly those words but his intent is obvious.
This is from Itachi pursuit arc, before Sasuke does away Oro.
Yup Kakashi is another person I don‘t like. What did Kakashi teach Naruto at that point? Tree walking. While he was teaching Sasuke Lee’s style and the Chidori who did he set up to teach Naruto? Ebisu. What was Ebisu going to teach him? Water walking. Which Naruto was easily able to do after the five prong seal was removed.
While Naruto and Sakura can’t seem to bring themselves to kill Sasuke it seems Kakashi also can’t even though he had no problem killingfor reasons yet to be told.SpoilerRin
A lousy teacher who doesn‘t follow his own nindo of “those who don‘t follow the rules are trash but those who abandon their friends are worse then trash“, a pervert, and just another chump with a Sharingan. All in all I don’t see way Kakashi is so popular.
The only thing that saves me from totally hating kakashi for that whole abandoning his students, (What precisely did he setup for sakura? You remember her right? The pathetic turd that barely scraped a double knockout with a fellow fangirl?) is that we honestly dont know what else ebisu would have taught naruto. Too be fair, narutos basic skills DID suck. Alot. Mastering decent chakra control, probably would have lead into taijutsu training, and other basic stuff that lazy worthless cyclops couldnt be bothered with during all the months he had naruto as a student. Stuff naruto NEEDED. Apparently jiraya had no trouble hurling a couple of A rank techniques at naruto to learn (and take forever to master) but most people would expect you to learn how to walk before they show you how to break dance.
Well you're right he should also have set up something for Sakura even if she didn’t take her ninja career seriously at that point. Naruto’s basic skills did suck but Ebisu was used to training academy level kids. If Naruto’s skills were that bad Kakashi should have done something about them a lot sooner definitely before signing them up for the exams. Sasuke was the only one close to being ready for them although it wasn’t Naruto’s fault he wasn’t.
Even so Ebisu was fairly blatant about his hate of Naruto/Kyuubi. Kakashi might not have known but considering how many people did hate him he should have it be a top priority to make sure the trainer didn’t hate Naruto. Naruto’s poor basics were most likely from teachers like Mizuki who hated him. Giving him yet another teacher who hates him to teach him the basics isn’t any help.
IIRC, Naruto's chakra control actually didn't suck. It was Kyuubi who disturbed it until very recently.
Neglecting to tell this to Naruto or to corect it, it almost seems that Konoha leadership and Naruto's teachers didn't want him to succeed as a ninja.
Edit: the relevant chapters are 90, page 8 and 91, page 12.
Actually, didnt ebisu kind of respect naruto by that point? Naruto had managed to get konohamaru to calm down and work hard instead of looking for shortcuts and trying to assassinate his own grandpa to take over. :p And when he learned it was because of what naruto taught him, he mellowed out considerably. Of course, thats the american anime, so no clue how different the manga might have been. And while yes, ebisu does specialize in teaching pre academy students, he would also presumably be an expert in teaching the basics naruto would need. I doubt he tried teaching konohamaru to walk on water for example.
Also, keep in mind that kakashi was an ex anbu operative teaching a team of genin for the first time ever. In my more forgiving moments, I blame some of his crappy teaching on that. He is an ex anbu captain who has spent most of his career working with adults that know how to train themselves and dont need to be taught much of anything. He probably spent about a month as a genin before moving up in rank so his work on the basics is in his distant past. Ebisu however, has been focused on teaching the most basic things to students, and it would be far easier to get him to move up a couple levels from what he normally teaches, instead of leaf balancing or whatever, he teaches water walking. Instead of basic forms, he teaches those plus sparring. Its honestly his field of expertise.
Basically, I dont exactly object to ebisu teaching naruto, what I object to is kakashi palming off HIS students on someone else so he could teach his favorite. Even more so when we realize he forgot about sakura completely as far as we can tell. I mean holy crap. If ANYONE needed to get at least a workout regimen from their sensei it was her. Also, this entire fiasco could have been avoided by 10 minutes of extra effort on kakashis side. Listen to this one.
"Naruto, Orochimaru has already made two attempts on sasuke. So I need to be able to take him someplace private to train him and it would be far too dangerous to have more students around to protect if he finds us. What I did was write up a list of training suggestions for you, and have arranged for ebisu to assist you with learning them. I did something similar for sakura. Good luck Naruto, I will see you at the finals."
BAM! Problem solved. Readers dont see kakashi as a hypocrite, Naruto gets a REAL reason for why kakashi has dumped him, kakashi shows he cares enough to setup naruto with a training guide AND some expert help, everyone is relatively happy. All it would take is a few extra sentences, and 5 minutes work writing up a quick scroll for naruto to work with.
Kakashi set up Sakura with that illusion lady, since she showed some talent in genjutsu.
Except not so much? There are a lot of things that are unfair about the real world, but one thing that is fair is that hard work works, at least in regards to learned skills. In real life if you show me a guy who has been practicing martial arts for years and someone who only did it for a month then it is obvious who would win, barring physical disabilities of course. Naruto, despite supposedly having hard work as a moral, completely throws this out the window.
No matter how much you learn a language after the critical years, you're not going to perfect its linguistic grammar like a little child will. There are biological reasons for this and can be ever so slightly analogous to the biological capabilities of the Uchihas. Sasuke has the genes of the Sage running through his veins, there's no reason for him not to be able surpass Lee's years of training in a short time-span.
Heck, they're only 12-14 at that point. Years of practice can only do so much. I've seen wrestlers practice since they were little toddlers get beat by someone who just started the sport for fun.
There also those kids you always find in school that hardly need to study or do all of the practice problems in math and physics that still ace the exams just like the person who spent three hours a day practicing.
Hard work is important (don't get me wrong), but you can't idealize it.
Yes, but its not like lee had only hard work. He has the inborn talent to be a martial arts master, he has a taijutsu MASTER in every sense of the word, as his personal trainer, the man who CREATED the freaking style in the first place, and has has had over a years worth of training in nothing but speed and strength to reach his level. Then sasuke steals his hard work and in a month his body is capable of matching less level of training? No. That was total bull crap. I could accept sasuke learning it faster due to memorizing the forms right away. But to master the SPEED? Thats not how the sharingan works. I dont think there has ever been a time before or since where an uchiha has faced someone flat out faster than they are, and been able to COPY that speed. Not without other factors also boosting his abilities, such as the curse seal.
He didn't master the speed completely, IIRC. He surely didn't have the sort of stamina Lee had when using that speed.
You're arguing against what actually happened in the manga. You can call it whatever you want, but it happened. There might be a thousand ways to rationalize it, but you can't argue that it is not possible in the Naruto-verse to simply increase your speed so you can perform techniques you already mastered due to your Sharingan.
'Sides, who's to say it took Lee years to master only his speed? It probably took him longer for the techniques and endurance. Given that it took Sasuke only a month to increase his already trained speed, I'm guessing that's exactly the case. :smalltongue:
