they most likely will notice the tree is gone with their bare eyes.

Well you can't miss it. One thing that's really bothering me is Minato. Where the hell is he?

What I just want to know is why Kishi even did this I mean why have the whole talk with Obito and Sakura in destroying the Rinnegan when it was going to be just taken anyway and have it pointless, to have Sakura get in danger from Madara. Did he do this just to make Sakura look bad? That and doing this will just make Madara all the more harder to beat as well.

I wouldn't go far to say Sakura looking bad, but I do agree with you about the point of it. I want to know if I should expect normal line-up or something more than I think. Lately, it's the latter, which is good and at times, not so good, but I would like to be surprised, so I guess we have to wait on it.

kishi love his damsel in distress trope

[TouKen4Life3g]

I don't think that's the case at all. Unless she's held hostage, then I'll agree with you. This one is a "surprise mother****er" scene. My concern is why this setup needed to be made if the route is still going the same as before: having Madara at full power. But again, anything could happen and lately, anything that we didn't think of happens, good or bad. Sigh. Another week of waiting.

[Gojira]

He did it so that people can't complain how the characters were to dumb to do anything about it before it was too late. DBZ did this trope a lot as well.

[TouKen4Life3g]

It's funny but the thing that seems like it goes this way never happens. It's like an endless swerve. For all we know, Obito just pops both of them in the next chapter or have both of his own eyes pop. That's one way to say Sakura is dead. But again, you could have Madara screaming so loud that he opened a portal.

Yeah, I have been saying this a lot but I'm sorry, that's one of the worst moment I ever witnessed. That's king of king in asspull category. I can take coincidence and convenience because it's fiction, but sheesh...funny that Kai is back and running. Can't wait to revisit that...

Still not as big of an asspull as Cell's return

"After blowing myself up in a last ditch effort to kill all of you it turns out my body can regenerate as long as atleast one of my cells is alive, I also somehow was able to return to my perfect form without 18 somehow...get a zenkai boost despite never being able to before and learn the Instant Transmission technique"

what kills me is that Toriyoma doesn't even try to explain any of this (atleast Kishi or even Kubo would make something up) but he literally just uses words like "somehow" I think he just wanted an excuse to end the series in a more climactic way (well unil the fans and SJ forced him back in and finish it with the Buu saga.....and then BOG)

[AzureWaters]

I don't see the point of Sakura being released from Kamui this fast when Kishi made her stay with Obito in the first place. If she was just going to be moved one chapter later then he could have had her leave the dimension with Naruto. No, I believe Sakura's going to be there for awhile-- at least long enough to be of some use.
 

That said even if Obito protects Sakura, someone still needs to come and help these two. Otherwise Obito will practically be handing the eye to Madara. These two can't defend themselves for long.

Actually, we had a discussion in the recording and yes, that's another one. I guess I didn't hit the breaking point until Buu Saga, which was the saga that got me saying "Enough is enough." Actually, it truly was enough. When you think about it, what exactly did we need to close? Hell, I'll give a benefit to Cell Saga since Gohan was the new hero and got torch passed by Goku, only to get it back in the next saga (go figure).

Oh I just hope its good and does not screw Sakura over.

Tell me about it he may think its good and it was alright in Pt 1 with the fight with Gaara but it needs to change and have her show what Sakura can really do, once and for all I mean I still love Sakura as she is kick ass and I know that she can be deadly after all she saved Naruto's life and so many other people as well

[TouKen4Life3g]

Well, that's not what I'm worrying, but he can create one with something, but I'm just wondering the setup. I feel like there's something that we haven't said yet.

[shisui]

That's ok I am sure you'll be fine you're a big boy. I edited my initial answer otherwise you would whine again and never let me go and I don't want to spend all my time discussing petty matters. If I don't want to discuss manga matters anymore with you I sure as hell don't want to argue about how much you felt offended my "terrible insults".

 

You wouldn't believe what I can handle. I'm not offended, lol. I found your response to be petty, so you not wanting to discuss petty by doing petty remarks is all sorts of amusing though.

You are such a noble individual and I'm glad for you. Is the whining finally over ? I doubt it.

[TouKen4Life3g]

Easy now. We should let be by gone be by gone. No need for an argument. I know one should have let it go, but if anything just let it be. Don't go any further. If you don't like it, just don't reply and move on. This goes for everyone. The last thing I need is fighting at each other, rather debating over a fiction.

[Gojira]

judging from Gaara's statement in chapter 673 we still have atleast 3 years (in the Naruto world's time) before Naruto is going to be hokage

I didn't get that from his statement. What makes you think that?
 

[Gojira]

In the mangastream translation he says that once Naruto becomes hokage they should drink together from a sake cup

which is pretty close to what he said in the raw from what I hear (that they should drink together and have a toast)

If memory serves me right one of Kushina's last requests was that Naruto not drink until he's 20, and as we know he's about to turn 17. Meaning this foreshadowed moment will likely take place in a few years

That doesn't mean he should listen to everything Kushina told him.

Do you guys think the manga will end by chapter 700?
