Whoaa! Massive amounts of plot development coming right our way! So many things to think about....................
Juubi final form is a tree. Woudn't have seen this coming in a millenium. As others have mentioned, it is possibly derivative of some religion but not necessarily Christianism. I believe it's more likely to be something related to Japan's culture as it's Kishi home country after all. Nonetheless, I've never imagined he would draw such card but I like it.
More fodder deaths, yay! A mythological creature that was supposed to be capable of splitting apart entire countries needs to be seen destroying things and killing stuff. I had this impression the Juubi was being too much passive lately and the heroes were having too much glory and owning time. The latest discussions were starting to be centered around Naruto x Sasuke only, as if the the Juubi had already been defeated and the war was about to be over. But now... wow! The Juubi is literally sucking their life force into it and people are dying. Now things really started to get dangerous again, for everyone alive at least.
The sage was given a name, so was his mother, a princess who ate a forbidden fruit and gained the mystical power known as chakra.... ok. The problem is I thought chakra was something that you had to mould inside you, not something you had to be born with. Anyway if that's really the case then Kishimoto is implying everyone is somehow descendant from this person. How is that possible?
And Madara, I keep wondering what the hell is this guy thinking. He wants to be the one who activates the Eternal Tsukuyomi, but how is he going to do that...
Hiruzen! Yeah, I thought you were dead man! I mean, you are dead but, nah you got what I mean!
Finally some screen time for the dead old man, it's kind a nice to see him back.
About Naruto and Sakura, what can I say. I hope they are fine, but unfortunately they seem to be very exhausted.
i was disappointed to see sakura down again :( i felt like it was her getting knocked out by kabuto / 3 tailed naruto all over again.. but it was a great chapter :0
but why is naruto hostile to sasuke? when he got saved by hiruzen.
Naruto isn't looking at Sasuke. When he was brought back by Hiruzen his face was turned at Sasuke's opposite direction, he was looking at the dead Ninjas on the battlefield, that's why he was so angry.
