Wow, chapter got released at an earlier time, ehhh? No problem for me, though. That was a very good set-up chapter, that would give us a good two weeks to speculate how it would go, and Kishi to pull this in a very good manner. As for the team, you can't go wrong with that line-up of the kages. As for who dies, I hope its not Tsunade. She needs to be alive to pass the torch to Naruto.

Loved the Chapter! All 5 Kages against Madara. Cool! No problem waiting 2 weeks!

Weren't people supposed to be using spoiler tags on the first page. Like four people didn't use them.

Yeah... I didn't use it on mine because I thought mine would fall on the second page. (It's last I think on the first page.) But spoilers are for spoilers. If it's something spoileriffic about the chapter then definitely use spoilers. But if it's something about the general about the direction of the last few chapters, including this one, then that's in grey area. Up to a users best judgement as to whether the spoilers are of the kind that will burn a readers eyes out or not.

The point of using spoilers in the first handful of posts on the first page was to allow people to open the page and access the manga link without seeing spoilers before they've read the story. I think if you are scrolling to the bottom of the first page or into the second page, then it's on your head whether you come across a spoiler or not.

People seem to be pretty respectful about using spoiler tags. So unless someone is blatantly spilling information, I don't think it needs to be brought up every chapter that someone didn't use a spoiler tag on the 17th post in the thread.

I don't remember if the rule was set as a hard-and-fast "no spoilers on the first page." But I do know the spirit of it was no spoilers in the first page view so that no one clicks through to the page and gets the surprise twist of the chapter ruined. (So spoiler tags for the first 5-10 posts.) And as long as everyone is respectful of that, I don't have a problem with non-spoiler-tagged posts farther down the page.

I just thought I'd address this since I was one of the non-spoiler tag ones on the front page.

edit: oh yeah, why is Kishi off for two weeks? Holiday? Vacation? Did he say?

kages....kick madara's butt!!! >:U we only need ONE main villain and thats occupied by the so-called "tobi"

[Soul]

wha.. Hey guys hold on ...are you saying that kishi is taking two weeks rest ?!

[shadow_Uzumaki]

Oh, eh. Hiraishin? Oh well.

OH HELLO! The 5 Kages have taken the field! Dream team, F_ yeah!

Now, to wait for a certain person to post in here.

This does not feel like the end of a series to me. There are just so many NEW aspects of the world being opened up, it's like it's setting up a whole new phase of the story.

Lotsa predictions that Tsunade is going to die. Well, one way to end this war would be for the Alliance to "Win" (in that, the world-conquering power of the Tobi-Kabutomaru alliance is diminished to the point that they could be considered defeated... though Tobi, Sasuke, and several other villains could survive the battle, nevertheless), but all the daimyo and all the kage are dead. With leadership across all five kage nations gone, one big power struggle ensues, moving on to another phase of the story... and potentially another phase for Naruto, himself. In Part 1, Naruto was just a student; in Part 2, he's become its greatest weapon but hasn't even come close to moving into a 'leadership' role. A Part 3, where power struggles across the entire world need to be resolved, would be ideal for Naruto becoming Konoha's greatest leader.

(edit: Incidentally, I hate the spoiler rule... not because of the rule itself, but because it has moved from being "common courtesy for the first couple of posts to have spoiler tags" to "mandatory you-will-be-horribly-flamed-if-you-forget MUST have ALL posts on the first page tagged as spoilers, and we'll still sometimes complain if you don't spoiler tag on page 2!")

Also. The Uchiha shall henceforth be known as the Pretentious Clan. No wait, Super Special Obnoxious Clan. No wonder Sasuke turned out the way he is.... The Hyuuga are humble compared to them....

[flaglmr18]

The 5 kages vs Madara, this is going to be AWESOME!!! I had a feeling something like this was going sooner or later. But for some reason this part reminds of Bleach, when all of the captains fought against Aizen in the Winter war and remember how well that turned out. The kages may do better then the captains did, but it may end the same way. Then it will be up to Naruto to kick Madaras a#$.

NOOOOO!!! We have to wait two weeks now to get the next chapter!

[Nee-sama]

Loved this chapter!

Loved the transitions and the epic dream team pic. Wish we could have heard the joke whatshisnamekonohaninja was thinking about!
Don't even want to think about how tired Naruto is going to be after all his clones disappear! And I can't wait to see how the 5 Kage work together!

[Toasty Warrior]

That was a great chapter and it's nice to see the five kages work together to bring done Madara, but will they be able to do it? I hope so since the future depends on it, and it kinda sucks that we have to wait two weeks to find out.

[ciardha]

Oonoki dying is pretty much a given, Tsunade's is better than 50%, Ei maybe 50%. Gaara no, and from the wording hints with Mei, I'd say she has a very good chance of surviving too, there's a slim chance though, but I'm getting a vibe that she'll be alive.

[Fyuria'sLeo]

Gaara....Hit Madara once for me. Also epic chapter.

[Amy-chan]

Great chapter not really disappointing that others know the thunder god technique I think its rather cool that Genma was one the the 4th's elite guards.

[pharix]

I wonder if this means Naruto can use FTG with shadow clones O_o

[FoolishYoungling]

spoiler --Click here to view--

I got a vibe from this chapter that Madara is gonna be overpowered.. yes more than haxed overpowered... I say this cuz 5 kages didn't hesitate much to want to all team up on Madara.. other than that, I think its about time the show named "Naruto" actually stopped focusing so much on just Naruto..(Of course all Naruto in chapters that deal with Sasuke/Sakura/Kakashi, but this is the Kages turn)

A little late for that *coughSasukevsItachiarccoughcough*

Although, you undermine your own point. Of course the manga called Naruto is supposed to focus on Naruto.

Not 95% of the time, I like Sakura backgrounds and stuff..

Agree on all points. And especially the thought of a part 3. Naruto is a powerhouse, but he has not had a transformation to adulthood yet. And it would be nice to see him mature, then take on the battles that will define his role as an adult. Like a trial by fire. Not to receive maturity and a wardrobe change as a result of his defining battle with Sasuke.

You mean like actually watch him turning 21 by taking steps in life?
