The Naruto Shippuuden manga is progressing much faster than Bleach and I’m really excited every week when they upload the scans for the newest episode. They released the latest issues for Naruto and Bleach last Friday and both titles offered really action-packed stories. In last week’s episode, we saw Sasuke’s team getting whooped by the Eight Tailed Beast. In fact, Sasuke’s chest got blown wide open, lol. It ended with the Eight Tailed Beast transforming into his “Beast Form”, ready to strike down Sasuke’s entire team. I personally like Naruto Shippuuden 414 because it brings back the Sasuke we’ve all known when Naruto was just starting. Well, that and all the action. 
More thoughts on this after the jump.
REALITY CHECK: TAILED BEASTS ARE POWERFUL
Akatsuki has been effortlessly hunting down tailed beasts that it looks like they were all weak. Remember how easily they took down Gaara? I know it was a bit underhanded but nevertheless he fell rather quickly. However, in this particular issue we are shown how terribly powerful they can really be. Killerbee, the Eight-Tailed Beast, finally transforms to his beast form to take on Sasuke’s team.
Sasuke’s team was pawned. Jugo, Kairi, Suigetsu, and Sasuke were all floored as the Eight Tailed Beast bulldozed them. If you backtrack, you’ll notice that both Kairi and Jugo gave up part of their own life/chakra to revive and heal Sasuke. This is kinda weird seeing as we were all given the impression that this team wasn’t all that united. Note that in the latter part of the manga, Suigetsu tries to shield the team from a devastating attack and he literally turns into a puddle of water after.
The series of sacrifices reminds Sasuke of the camaraderie that he left in Konoha. The issue ends with Sasuke using the dreaded “Amaterasu” technique against the Eight-tailed Beast before they’re all killed. Sasuke knows that using this technique drains a lot from him, but he still does it because of the bonds that he has formed with his new team.
NARUTO FINALLY GETTING THE SAGE TECHNIQUE?
As Sasuke and his team are busy trying to survive the Eight-Tailed Beast, Naruto is training to learn the sage techniques which Jiraya mastered. In this issue, Naruto finally gets it and is able to lift the gigantic frog statue without too much effort. It will be very interesting to see how this turns out. I’m sure Naruto will be able to master a few techniques before Pain arrives in Konoha – that’s one battle I’d love to see.

one tailed never have a chance to transform defeated while defending the Sand Village.
two tailed damaged Hidan without knowing that every damage that Hidan recieves two tailed also recieves resulting to two tailed being defeated and Kakozu nailed her on a wall debri. This technique already learned by Shikamaru after Asuma sacrfice himself and use it to defeat Hidan.
three tailed was defeated quickly by new team of Tobi and Deidara, Tobi was chased by it acting comedical as Deidara exploded it.
four tailed, five tailed, and six tailed were defeated earlier probably by Madara.
seven tailed was defeated by Itachi and Kisame.
eight tailed is currently fight with Sasuke’s team.
nine tailed (Naruto is currently training with Sage Technique as Pain is ordered by Madara to hunt for Naruto)

It was the four-tailed beast that Kisame and Itachi captured (extracted from the unknown elderly man) and not the seven-tailed beast.
Also it wasn’t shown in the manga and in the anime that Kakuzu was the one who nailed both hands of the two-tailed beast Jinchuuriki (Yugito Nii) in the wall.
JimBeam on September 2, 2008
parang ang daya lang ng country ni Yugito Nii ska ni Killerbee. Kasi ang alam ako 1 Jinchuuriki lang bawat country di ba? pero si Killerbee ska Yugito Nii iisang country lang. at aware pa yung mga tao na 2 Jinchuuriki nila.

[...] In Naruto 414, we saw Sasuke’s team get decimated as Killerbee transformed into the Eight-Tail… The issue ended with Sasuke drawing upon his last resort – the Amaterasu. This is a technique which causes destructive black flames to engulf Sasuke’s target. However, this technique really strains him and his eyes which is probably why itachi was already having trouble. My review of the issue after the jump. [...]
