Yeah, but so do we have Hashirama, along with all other Hokages which I think they have the same effect of unlimited chakra (correct me). I think the direction will be determined if we see Obito and Kakashi getting into the mix because no doubt, Obito will be done with if he shows up now. Perhaps he will be upset or convinced once he sees Juubi going down. So yeah, this is hard to determine the direction because again, I have not yet see a theme last longer than one volume, but maybe this is it here. Maybe. I got no real clue. 5 chapters left to determine the direction.

 

Yeah. My worry with Madara is more about the fact that he has a Hashi clone (w/e that is) and the Rinnegan. So I guess the 4 hokages will have to find a way to take him down. I usually think that the Reaper Death seal would work, but I don't know. The point is, what I'm looking forward to is as to how Kishi will bring closure to these topics. Considering how many we have left, the manga could last at least one more year. However, as we can see, the pace of the manga has been suddenly increased, so we may see closure of various topics at the same time.

 

I hope that he brings the resolution of Sakura's feelings soon, though. ^_^

Yeah, I guess so, unless Kishi decides to rush or postpone something. Well, to his credit, it does make the anticipation stronger. It's just maybe I want to know what's next after this battle, like the idea of next Hokage and so on. Not to mention it's already predicted that Naruto will fight Sasuke, though not sure under what circumstance, let alone when. That I want to know already. I don't want to rush this, don't get the wrong idea, but I don't know what's next after Juubi is taken out. I mean I can't really say easy win, but this should have happened after Naruto and Sasuke fought because this is like last arc/saga of DBZ and Kishi could easily have Sasuke acknowledged Naruto is the strongest here, but now it seems odd to think how they will top this in the next phase/arc, let alone how OP Naruto will be soon. That's my concern. How in the world Kishi will balance this.

 

Speaking of balance, I wonder how is Obito and Kakashi doing. You think they're in equal footing or Obito is stronger due to his eyes and Hashirama cell to use wood, which he should do more often because that's what made him incredible and that's what I like about Obito. He's really like Naruto, getting a positive feedback, only it's not really because it's a villain (Zetsu) that's saying. You know what I mean. Obito actually trained and I guess I still want Naruto to fight Obito, but if only he still the same and normal after dealing with Kakashi. I hope Obito don't get off-paneled.

I don't think the juubi is going to be defeated any time soon.I think it will be put into a state of hibernation or something and then Madara will fight Hashirama and the alliance. Isn't the juubi the key to his whole "moon eye plan?"

It is. You are right that it can be in hibernation. Hm, maybe Obito and Kakashi fighting each other is a way to have him away so he may come back and deal with Naruto. Yes, still want this to happen because to me, this feud needs a closure. As for Madara, well what we are seeing could be the reason for not fighting until this volume is dealt with. I could be wrong of course.

Yeah I just don't see the moon eye plan being stopped so quickly. I think the final fight against the juubi is going to be a whole lot crazier.

[Atheck]

Jubi will be defeated by either the gift that its individual components provided to Naruto or one of the Rinnegan users, probably Tobi, will utilize some sort of previously unforeseen ability to once again divide it. A possible explanation for the former being unsuccessful when it was initially used could be that since Jubi is an amalgamation of all the bijuu it will require the power from all of the beasts in order to defeat it. Naruto was only able to obtain chakra from eight of them as Gyuki was not present during the gathering. Either way the method for how Jubi is going to be stopped will definitely involve the recreation of the nine bijuu.

 

Granted it would be hilarious to see Tobi or Madara use HGR in order to consume Jubi entirely and then make a statement about how the bijuu are not so powerful now. Would the shinigami from SF be capable of containing Jubi if Minato or Hiruzen could somehow seal it?

[Dkey]

If we are on the chapter on how Sasuke will back stab Naruto I wonder if it's possible for Sasuke to have another upgrade to his sharingan that is separate from the Rinnegan. Madara the most advanced sharingan user couldn't defeat Hashirama, and it seems now that he has the Rinnegan he will try this again to see if he defeats him. The fact that he wanted to best Hashirama in a fight pushed him to obtain some of his cells and infuse himself and eventually gained the Rinnegan.

 

But Sasuke is different. He was always able to best Naruto, and if the story doesn't end this year, or the middle of next year then that means after the war there might be a hiatus. Sasuke would have a small fight with Naruto and defeat him and trigger another upgrade to the sharingan, and convince Sasuke that power is the way to peace ( just like the uchiha ancestor).

One thing for certain is that these two will fight but we don't know when or what. Will it be friendly, fighting for bragging rights, or fight to the death? The prediction said that Naruto will fight a boy with great power in his eyes. That said while the boy is nailed down, exactly how great are we talking about. For that matter, remember he was cut off, which probably was going to give away the ending of that fight, win, lose, or even die. If Sasuke was to backstab, where would you think he will do it?

There is too much unknowns about sasuke at this point to make any predictions. All people shipping sasusaku or any other shippings need to quiet down for a bit and just read for the story because we dont know what will happen with sasuke or how it will happen. As it stands right now, i dont see Naruto ever dying because then it would make the message of this story and the goal of this story into nothing. There is no way naruto dies at this point until he becomes hokage. But expect a backstab from sasuke to naruto to try to take him out of the hokage spot so he can take it for his own. Sasuke has something up his sleeves, yet again maybe not. Patience is a virtue

Most definitely when the juubi is defeated. Not sure how he will back stab, and what his plan is, but the juubi as itself is the only thing that can hinder his plans. What surprised me is Madara's lack of interest in the fighting. He either needs Obito for whatever purpose or his interest right now is to prove himself that he is stronger than Hashirama.

There are a lot of hints that Sasuke and Naruto are going to fight.

 

The last scene we had of Sasuke was he going to the battle to help Naruto, and then a few chapters later he states that he wants to be Hokage in direct opposition to Naruto. He can become Hokage only by force right now and that's how he will try to do it. By taking out the competition to his plans.

I agree. It's just weird to me that Juugo was the only one there with Sasuke, who he's loyal to him as well as know Sasuke's running motive in different circumstance. I don't even know he's entering the battlefield, rather just watch. It's really confusing. Yeah, if Sasuke does something for himself that no one agrees, then no doubt this will hurt him a lot in front of thousands no less. Shippers will be heavily broken. Well, maybe not SK, but who knows. Lol. But seriously, maybe next chapter shed some hints.

Well they can't do anything with Juubi, and Obito is being an a--hole that he won't use revival for Madara. So now what? It's really confusing. Juugo seems to wonder the same. So yeah, don't know but I always felt Team 7 reunion happened...soon. It's weird that I got that feeling. I mean when it's all over, do we expect Sasuke to permanently stay. I mean he has his own team, which they are oddly missing. Well, maybe next chapter will be clearer.

[Otaru]

We already know Sakura is the Yin to Naruto's Yang , they are Heaven and Earth after all. She may be a tsundere like his mom, but that's the way Kishi draws his female characters...except maybe a few shy ones. What sets Kushina and Sakura apart are they're grades, Kushina according to her words wasn't doing so well in school, while Sakura probably got top marks. In that respect Sakura parallels mostly Minato than Kushina.

 

I think all the parrallel thing about Sakura and Kushina is only about the temper and emotions. It's not about grades at school. =)

With the usual caveats I remain convinced that the bench scene is going to be revisited. Now sooner then later.

 

the diamond on the forehead is just another significant step in that direction.

Thing is, how/when will he do it? Last time at the bench scene Sakura was depressed about upsetting sasuke/her appearance. Sakura is far more confident in herself so will she ever doubt her appearances again for naruto to do the forehead comment

[HauntedCake]

I wonder what will lead to the forehead compliment / bench scene (How the situation will be set up/spring from)

One possible scenario is Sakura grieving for Naruto as he leaves for his battle against Naruto. In an effort to comfort and to express to her that he always understood who she was he could go up to her and as her eyes are closed he would kiss her forehead whilst offering a heartfelt remark that her forehead is very attractive to him.

Naruto will compliment Sakura's forehead Kishi has given too many hints in recent chapters that its going to happen one way or the other.

[Chatte]

And even if he doesn't compliment it, I see something a la Tsunade/Dan coming up...

[Sakamaki Izayoi]

apparently Sasuke is just "that" attractive lolol

BUt you forgot that Naruto become also attractive, just like when Tsunade made a comment the more she grew the more she gets beautiful, i think for some reason that applied to Naruto, he wasnt attractive on part 1, but on part 2 he became attractive up a lot, she even blushed when he returned.

We all can agree Sakura is not the same Sakura as part 1. We all assume she "LOVES" Sasuke. No denying she did in Part 1 ofc but as time has moved on and the crimes Sasuke has commited against Sakura and Naruto do we actually believe she "LOVES" Sasuke?

 

We talk about her maturing and growing up but we still hold onto her having her "LOVE" for sasuke. Yes she has feelings for him (physically attracted and her caring for him as a team member) but love?? after what Sasuke has done to her and what Naruto is doing for her?

 

It's funny when we talk About NS as Heaven and Earth because i also like to apply this to Sakura and more specifically her love life.

 

One side is Heaven (Mind, spirit or soul so to speak), this is clearly a reference to her love for Naruto.

 

The other is ofc Earth (physical), this is obviously applied to Sasuke but Sakura has shown physical attraction to Naruto too.

 

Basically, her love for sasuke isn't real love (Comparable to her love for Naruto) , it's an idealistic love she based on his appearances and abilities rather then Sasuke's personality.(I'm not denying she tried to get to know Sasuke and cared for him but the engine for that was physical attraction, it always was, it always will be)

 

This is what she will distinguish in the coming chapters, all we need is for Naruto to man the kitten up get some balls and pour his heart out to Sakura because if he doesn't he might lose Sakura forever. From this she will realize who shes loves and more importantly the difference between attraction and love.

 

Note: Naruto has never tried to be upfront romantic with Sakura other then ask her out for Dates, it's always Sakura making the first move and this is what has denied NS so much.

About Sakura we doesnt know, the suspense is up in the air since Sakura didnt give any hints that she's already in love with Naruto or still loves Sasuke, maybe next chapters clears this up.
And secodn there's nothing much Naruto can do really he's not the type that forces his feelings on someome else.

I think after all the happened it's understandable for her to not love him not just understandable but good for her character, imagine that on her entire development, Sai tells her that Naruto loves her and a random guy shows up and tells that she should love someome who's a great guy/ good guy.
To just suddenly those scenes doesnt matter because she still loves Sasuke.
I sincerely doesnt know how can she move on if those scenes doenst have any kind of effect on her.
