Um...anyone remember that I once said what if Zetsu betrays Madara......called it??????
Ok, I haven't read all posts yet, so I want to comment quickly before going back.
For starters, yeah, dreamworld is one way for Kishi to make pairings "canon". LeeSaku, InoSasu, NaruHina, InoSai, and maybe ShikaTema. Remember, Kishi didn't want to pair Shikamaru, so maybe this is his way of saying, "but if I do decide." That's said like many have said, this is one way of making it canon without truly doing so because everyone will get what they wanted and so, not like they would need to get one. I guess you can say that's why we don't get Team 7. The real pairing battle starts here in the real world, even though Sasuke is doing a good job on kicking on a dead horse, but I digress. Funny that we didn't see Team Taka, but oh well, maybe SK is made to happen if not shown, you know. But anyway, I would say this, it's a convincing argument from Madara that these guys are in peace now because if I didn't see Gaara, I would probably think otherwise. It's sad but sometimes, dreams of something we would like, whether it's completely impossible or just won't work, is all we got: a dream. So, I guess this is Kishi's way of telling the world, "Be happy. It's canon. Kind of. Sort of. Not really...Happy!"
Honestly, the one moment that stole this chapter is the near end. No lies, I literally screamed "what!?" I mean that panel of betrayal. I thought we were going to have Madara but now, his work here is done. Wow, guess he's really going to die as a villain. Much like Korra's uncle. Power hunger will get worst of you and when you want to go back, it's all too late. Madara has reached to Kaguya's state, so now, it's time for her to return. Wow, this is crazy. To think, we are about to have a female goddess boss. I mean damn, you can't go higher than that. It's been a while to have a female boss that is pretty much the top of the world. Can't really say that with a straight face. Hell, Fairy Tail didn't even do that.
So yeah, this chapter. Man, what a chapter. Hokages hasn't shown up. I think the next chapter might be the real last chapter of the volume. Kishi wants to end on a high note before the final battle of the war engage. I want to mention one last thing. The roles. This really makes me question on what roles will Kakashi and Sakura have in here. Now that Kaguya is about to appear completely, the situation has gotten worse. We about to get a person who knows everything, in short, the perfect goddess. Oh man, I'm hyped.
