Ok, note to self, don't play AoT osts while reading. It only brings darkness.

 

That said all I can say is how real this has gotten and man, Naruto is in deep trouble now. If he can't go to Bijuu mode, he's going to get beatdown of his life. By the way, Black Zetsu....

 

CALLED IT!!!!!!!!

Which is the point.  What better way to show that Naruto has surpassed the past Hokage then to show him succeed when they fail?  What better way to show that he has surpassed Hashirama then to show him defeating Madara?

 

I think Naruto's reaction last week ("Oh yeah, that guy") was a pretty big hint that Madara would do something significant...haha.

[arian_rad]

Does Madara still have Hashirama's cells within him or is that part of him now gone because he is fully revived?

For his sake, if he can't go to Bijuu mode as much as before, he will get his ass kicked. Now that he's revived, it's obvious that there is more to come from him and he is now beginning to go all out on the world. It's sad that the switch really meant one dead, one alive and damn, Madara is a bastard. So basically, Naruto did a favor and he's about to get the beatdown of his life as well as the alliance. Oh man, this is going to be bad.

 

I also like the realistic turn for Obito that he doesn't deserve to live for all the stuff he has done and Kakashi don't want him that rather just pay the price. I like how he even say that he don't deserve to meet Rin on the other side. That's a tragic character of him to actually see the good light for Naruto but see eternal darkness for himself. Well, it's most likely we will see him next week and either he die asap or something, it's going to be upsetting for Minato and Kakashi. This is one good way to motivate to hate Madara a lot more to get their feud going strong. Oh man, now I can't wait for what's next. Madara is a true bastard.

Interesting Developments...

It seems that the tension between Shukaku and Kurama that Gyuki alluded to is still existent. Although it seems to have taken more of a competitive nature instead of being fueled by resentment or jealousy. What a nostalgic scene that was between Shukaku and Gaara. Already they seem to be capable of cooperating with each other as partners like Naruto and Bee with their respective bijuu, even when they're not sharing the same physical shell.

 

As expected, Tobi was going to resign himself as a sacrifice for a wide scale Rinne Tensei resurrection. Oh, but the twist ending with his intentions suddenly being impeded by Madara and... Black Zetsu! I thought he might make a reemergence onto the scene, but now that it is actually happening, it's saddening to see how he's being manipulated by Madara. A construct of Madara's will until the very end. He admitted it himself that his relationship with Tobi doesn't override the will of his creator. The expression he had on his face, the shock, it's like he's horrified at what is Zetsu doing to him. 

 

Tobi is selectively deciding his own fate which may appear self-centred or egotistical, but it is consistent with how his character has been portrayed since the fight began. His mindset is tunneled by his memories of Rin. Even with Kakashi's words echoing in his mind, Rin is still in the back of his mind. Moralistically it's selfish, perhaps even cowardly, but I can personally respect a character who chooses to seize their destiny by their own hands and die in the way that they choose. As a villain it can make them more compelling.

 

Madara was defeated in a quickly fashion. Of course he didn't intend to be sealed. Still, I thought he would be able to hold out for longer than he did. At least the story is progressing now. Madara is being resurrected and he's losing his immortality as well as the infinite supply of chakra and regeneration. That doesn't seem very practical but he was in a pinch just now and it apparently freed him from Hashirama's Myoujinman. Still, the entire Alliance has him in their sights now. What will making himself mortal accomplish? 

 

Sai was very impressive this chapter. We haven't seen much of him lately and to see him take centre stage like this was refreshing. 

I'm so mad man.

Inst it ridiculous, he doesnt even need to body to be ressurrected, just edos, it means that with Rinnegan Sasuke can even ressurrect Itachi, or Naruto be capable of bringing back his parents.

Naruto has sage mode and could not feel Madara's kage bushin walking around?

 

Second, the guy has izanagi which means he can sacrifice his eye to escape, how can he be killed now?

I hipe that Kishi doesnt make Madara the last villain plz.

Two things that comes to mind:

 

Where is Sasuke in all this?

 

And

 

What is the next step for Madara? It would seem that he is that confidence about himself and whatever he has in mind. I can't trust this guy if something like this just now went smoothly. Something tells me the next chapter will be "What the hell!?" moment since it's the last chapter of the volume, so you never know. People say, "Didn't Madara doom himself?" First of all, he was about to be by a seal style, which for him, it's sad, but now well, time to see where things from there. Anything goes now.

Yes he does, he had Hashirama's cells in him before he died. That is how he awakened the rinnegan. The only thing Kabuto did to him was bring him back in his prime instead of the age at which he died.

I just want to know what Madara's end goal actually has been.  I hope it make sense and is interesting/isn't a disappointment.

[Psychox]

lol

Well, that was to be expected, and by expected i mean totally unexpected . So, it seems that Jiraiya's philosophy not only has been passed on to Nagato and Naruto but it had an impact on Obito. Its crucial to know that he wasn't a failure , sadly he won't know that his wisdom has reached to the minds and souls of the next generation. I am really surprised that Obito was so easily turned  ,but i t had to come nevertheless , because it was so dragged out till now.. Shukaku and Gaara are now firends O_O? Nice , we will be seeing a transformation of some sorts from those two? About the Rinne Tensei- i was kind of disappointed that Kishi would've gone for the same road as he did in the pain arc ,i am glad now however that MAdara took the villain role. It is a bit out of place that Rinne Tensei and a Edo Tensei can bring back the living again , but i suppose it comes from Hashi's sells that the jutsus are so plausible ? Now that Madara has the juubi lost his immortality and is vincible, how is that gonna help him in this battle ? hm.. 

[Atheck]

Madara has to be intoxicated with a tunnel vision perspective of having a new living body now for him to be so ecstatic. Otherwise it would be very odd of him to be so enthusiastic because this mortality doesn't change too much in the way of his enemies' strength. The entire Alliance, the bijuu, the Edo Hokages, and the living Kages are all focused on him still. Breathing life into his barren soul would actually make his predicament worst since he can be killed now. 

 

If he believes that by aiming for Hashirama's senjutsu will somehow save him then he's wrong. Realistically that opportunity would be lost to him the moment his distraction that was keeping everyone at bay was defeated.

I feel like some of us will eat our words yet not sure who will be. Unless they pull a PowerPuff Girls joke (yes I said it). What I mean? Well think like this:

 

Madara: I am back! Now what you going to do?

Naruto: We going to kick your butt...

Madara: Oh!

Naruto wins

 

Again, he was about to get sealed. Also, if there's anything I learned from Madara, it's that don't underestimate one. I guess my girlfriend's advice came in play. Actually, she said it's best to overestimate a person than to underestimate on many circumstance. That said I will go with that route because again, we can't be that sure that there is nothing but doomsday for Madara. Remember, he was going to get defeated by a seal. Kind of anti-climatic, wouldn't you say.

Great chapter, haven't had a chapter this good in a while. While I was a little put off by the fact that it looked like Obito was going to be forgiven, Kishi did a good job. He found a way to show Obito getting what he deserved, while at the same time showing that Obito had found a way to redeem himself without being forgiven. Also another plus on Madara. It's been a long time since Hidan and Kakazu were defeated so it's nice to see a true villain for once who doesn't have any sort of wishy-washy sobbackstory.   Only downside is that is it just me, or does it seem like the chapters are getting shorter?

 

Only one villain left, war's coming to an end, and next up is Naruto vs Sasuke. Everything looks good from here

[BlueStarSaber]

OK no Sakura that's disappointing, but made up with Sai , Gaara,black zetsu and Madara

[LadyGT]

What's the point of becoming mortal again?

It won't be entirely over. Orochimaru is still lurking about (he can't be left to his own devices for long since he's still a dangerous threat to the nations) and if Taka chooses to remain beside Sasuke in his venture then they will definitely be locking horns with Naruto and friends.

We'll see soon enough. That's the question at the moment. Maybe his last words are any indication of his "plan". I mean, more than he can do freely, the heck does that mean? Best to overestimate than to underestimate.

@ns4life

do you mean that it will end in, say 3 chapter?

[Torxe]

Great chapter but wasn't the only benefit of having a (real) mortal body, being able to become the juubi's host.

 

Is Madara aiming for this or is it impossible with the bijuu's not being sealed in the gedou mazou anymore and the statue itself sealed in Obito?

 You can't become the Juubi jinchuriki if you're not alive.

@ns4life

It all relies on the next chapter. It's the beginning of Madara and if he does in fact was prepared for something, then we will have a volume dealing with him.
