From this recent chapter, I just thought of it like this: how much longer do you think this fight will be carried out? Knowing the manga, or generally almost any manga, there is always back and forth in these fights, hence people call it the "super saiyan effect" one guy gets powerful, the heroes counter by getting or unleashing a new power or hitting a level the opponent did not realize.
I mean this fight has gone on since well, around late 2011 to early 2012, it was only until the end of last year we saw the allaince return, last year was full of Naruto, Bee, Kakashi, and Guy vs Obito and his 6 jinchurki, the uchiha brothers vs Kabuto, and 5 kage vs Madara, the rest of the cast was shafted for weeks. Now look at the present situation on both sides, both are pushed back, the ten tails was awakened, Obito is the jinchurki in control, Madara and Hashirama are fighting, Naruto, Sasuke, and Minato are facing Obito directly with assistance from Tobirama and Hiruzen. I'm just wondering how much longer this will go on before one of these happens:
1. Obito proves to be too much with so much power, Madara's trump card is revealed and opens a weakness
2. The heroes endure until the right time to counter and have some method to defeat Obito (playing defense until they get the right moment)
Its just a good question like, only aside from Madara's trick, what are we waiting on? Obito can get ready to steamroll the heroes again, Hashirama and Madara are fighting but possibly just to seal the other, last we saw the alliance Sakura is trying to keep up to date with Hinata doing recon duty. The 5 kage will come soon so it kinda will fit a bit of the back and forth stuff again of the alliance getting another bit of reinforcement, and taka is MIA (i suspect they are going to Yamato for some reason). We are in the middle of action which is good but for what lies ahead, not much, just wondering how long this fight, though epic, just makes you think what will happen next and just how long will it be extended for. Hopefully not as long as the DBZ freiza or Majinn Buu fights, those fights were long. I know in this series alone, not sure what the real longest fight besides starting with Naruto and Bee vs. Obito which eventually became the allaince vs the ten tails, but in Naruto I cannot be sure if it was Sakura and Chiyo vs Sasori or something else.
