This chapter was very good. It was a build-up chapter, if anything, and it had a lot of good panels. Naruto is having more trouble against Kaguya and her world itself, especially now that Kaguya successfully seperated him and Sasuke, who is believed to be in a another dimension. It seems to be case since Naruto can no longer sense him at all with Sage mode. Obito wakes up, and Naruto uses this chance to tell everyone about the Hagoromo, Kaguya and the seal, while they head to his original body. Once there, Obito will use his Kamui to sync to Kaguya's space time technique to go to where Sasuke is and bring him back. However, he needs more chakra than what he currently has, so Naruto's clone and Sakura have to tag along to provide him what he's lacking.
Again, it was a build-up chapter. Still, I liked seeing more of Obito, and his return from darkness so to speak. At the very end, he spoke of this isn't the time for sophisms, but here's one anyone, "Let me walk in front of you and die". According to Merriam Webster, a sophism is an argument apparently correct in form but actually invalid; such an argument is used to deceive. This statement seems to be Kishimoto speaking himself to the readers, telling us that Obito's last line is basically not to be taken seriously. In other words, Obito's really going to die from this. I guess Kishimoto noticed how repetitive this was getting with Obito having gone through quite a few things things that should have killed him, but he keeps getting saved, and now he looks to have another brush with death, and Kishimoto's not leaving it to interpretation anymore. He's directly telling us he's not going to die from it. It's a intentional sophism.
Sakura having not used her Byakugou seal chakra was for a reason, and here it is. She's giving it to Obito for the jump. That means she'll give away all the chakra she stored for three years at once, but it's necessary. I might sound shallow for this, but I for one am glad she'll finally lose that diamond mark on her forehead. She looked too much like Tsunade's clone with it. Also, nothing should be imprinted on that wide forehead that Naruto loves
.
A lot of emphasis has been put on this seal, but still, so much emphasis on it makes it more likely to fail. Kaguya is well prepared this time. Not to mention, there's a chance that if it does succeed, it's only a temporary solution. I mean Hagoromo and Hamura did the same thing, and look what happened. Sure, it took a very long time, but still, what's to stop her from releasing Black Zetsu again, and have history repeat itself. Also, I'm surprised that half of Madara that Sasuke cut off is still around. Not to mention, Hagoromo can use it to project himself in spirit form to talk to the Hokages. Looking forward to next week.
