Quote:It's a good argument, but not a killer one, I think. See, Konohamaru's been under Ebisu for quite a while when that chapter starts, stet? There's good odds that his training has included at least a glimpse of the theory behind the basic three jutsu.
The trouble with that theory on Orioke is that when he's teaching it to Konohamaru they go peeping and looking at girly mags for refernce material, and then K-maru keeps getting it ugly with a capital UGH for the first few tries. I think we really have to accept that it is, in fact, just a basic, lowest-level-genjutsu type henge.
A grounding that I doubt Naruto has.
So, when Naruto does SnJ, he -thinks- he's just doing a normal Henge - because, hey, pretty girl, right seal, can't be anything else, right? But Konohamaru actually knows -more- about how to do Henge than the foxboy does, so they're doing different things even if they thing that they're the same.
Probably it's your way, of course, but the other position is defensible if you want it in your story.
Ja, -n
