This topic is lockedSeems logical to me.Just revaluate my theory on the end of the war arc. I noticed how I've slightly miscalculated it before. Now I can completely see where the arc currently stands, assuming the new chapter comes out on christmas.
So far in this volume:
658: Bijuu vs Madara (don't need to say much)
659: Limbo Hengoku (showcases rinnegan move)
Both of these can be considered set up chapters.
Volume's Structure:
660: (Continue from last two, slowly shift to focus)
661: (End of the setup, Start of the focus)
662: (Focus of the Volume)
663: (Focus of The Volume)
664: (Focus of The Volume)
665: (End of the Volume's Focus)
666: (Climax of The Volume)
667: (End of Climax/ Volume Itself)
I might be inaccurate on of these chapters, but judging by the volume so far. We'll most likely scratch the
surface of the volume's focus which can either be a good or bad thing.
What do you guys think?

For coincidence this popular thing was presented after Sakura arrived and was presented as the girl he likes and she has a crush on the popular one, it was shown why Naruto hated Sasuke's popularity, then why he would simply hate the fact he's popular, he would be simply envious of Sasuke?
It doesnt make sense and it's not plausible, so in fact add Sakura on this equation and it gets sustentation, later on the valley after the development and things they go together, he says about acknowledgement and the fact he saw Sasuke as an equal, which has nothing to do with popularity.
In a way it got discarded and served as to give impression and set the rivalry between Naruto and Sasuke, if you saw only because Sasuke is popular or not, i dont care but you cant deny the obvious coincidence with it being shown alongside.
What do you mean it doesn't make sense to be envious of someone's general popularity? Sorry, but you are not making any sense at all. Feeling jealousy of someone's popularity is a pretty normal human experience. I really hope I just misunderstood you.
Look, if you want to say that Sakura liking Sasuke helped trigger Naruto's hostility in chapter 3, which was necessary to showcase the Team 7 dynamics from the get go, I get that. But Sakura's crush on Sasuke was never shown as Naruto's only motivation against him.
It would've been just as easy for Naruto and Sasuke to sit next to each other, then Naruto sees him and Sasuke gets all rude and says "what's your problem loser?", but that would leave Sakura out of the dynamic, so her relation with the boys had to be included in between as a necessity.

Without a reason to back off no.
It was basically what i said many times, Sakura was the start not the reason.
dude are you reading the same story or some fanfiction crap
The same story.

Naruto had the reason, he was the loser. That was established in the very first chapter of the series.

I really like that Gaara and Sai were incorporated into the fight. Gaara of course makes a lot of sense, with him being a kage and his relation with Shukaku, but I keep wondering why Kishimoto used Sai at the beginning of the fight. Most likely we will be seeing the other kage getting back into the action. We got at least 10 more chapters of this

Because he was there? Probably no other reason. I imagine the other characters will now get involved in this fight. It will take the entire ninja alliance to stop Madara.but I keep wondering why Kishimoto used Sai at the beginning of the fight.

It would only require one well placed Jinton to annihilate Madara and Gedo Mazo. Onoki should be given a chakra shroud and let loose against the enemy.

Plot seems to say no, but Madara could absorb it anyway. Maybe since Kishi said he doesnt know how to kill Madara.

@LuckyChi7 Thanks for the answer. Let's hope it does come out and it doesn't disappoint.

Which I've told you - time and time again - is dangerous! There will never be consensus, son, among those you have helped to ascend. They will all differ in their views of what it means to be free. The peace you so desperately seek does not exist.
These men are united now by a common cause. But when this battle is finished they will fall to fighting amongst themselves about how best to ensure control. In time it will lead to war. You will see.

Here's the (untranslated) preview for Naruto 660:
I think the first sentence says something like, "Madara shows overwhelming strength!!" I can't read the second sentence, though.

Interests:Honestly, western sakura haters are pathetic (if your wondering why I say western, its because thats where all the sakura haters are) they hate sakura for the stupidest reasons, makes me wonder if they even read the manga for anything besides illogically hating on her, and even more so if they even read the same manga. Seriously they really are blind if they think sakura isn't the most popular female character in naruto and has a huge fanbase in japan, kishimoto-sensie's main fanbase. Honsetly, they aren't true naruto fans because they're practically bashing the main heroine of the series who has had AMAZING and deep emotional development, both romace-wise , character-wise and-power wise, and the love interest, Haruno sakura, of the main hero, Uzumaki Naruto. That alone is an insult to kishimoto-sensie's work. Not to mention they rub off the japanese culture, which is important to know if you wanna 100% understand the details of the manga.
My hobbies are drawing, and reading awesome facts about anything I love! Oh and how could I forget, I love playing on my PS3, my favourite online game is Team Fortress 2, favourite character to play with is the scout! (Although I love all of 'em).
Bless the PS2 era...and all those awesome games... (applause to you if you were part of that gaming age, jack and daxter, sly, spyro, crash etc.)

Gintama came out today... So maybe Naruto. Gintama usually comes out the same day as Naruto, right?

Interesting. I learned that One Piece spoilers are out. This could mean a new chapter tomorrow or only One Piece gets lucky. It is bigger than all in Japan. That said the chance of early release is increasing, but I think it should have waited. It's going to be a long break.
