QUOTE
Q1: The legendary shinobi is now immortal! Does Uchiha Madara have any weak point?
All strong people have some kind of weak point, but Madara does not. How will the fight from here on out go!? Please stay excited and wait to find out!!

Q2: I’m curious about the connection between Madara and Tobi!
I obviously can’t give too many details, but the two do know each other. What kind of relation they have will be gradually revealed in the current story!!

Q3: Will Tobi’s identity be revealed soon…!?
Indeed it will. In fact, it should be within the next few weeks!! Everyone, please wait and keep predicting until then!!

Q4: How will Naruto and Sasuke’s story proceed now?
I think that they will meet up once again during this war. Please look forward to seeing what will happen then!

Q5: Now that we’ve entered the climax of the Great Shinobi World War arc, please tell us what some upcoming highlights will be!
Everything from here on out will be a highlight!! Everything’s just going to get more and more exciting!! Everyone’s favorite characters will gather together to play a big part!! Please continue enjoying Naruto now that the Great Shinobi World War is in its climax!


Glad to finally get one of the last big questions in Naruto resolved in the next few chapters. I would think "everyone's favorite characters" should mean Sakura and the K11 since we have not seen them in a long time. I really hope their big part is something.

Very sadly, this is true, the Tobi and Madara bits will be plagued by it.

Well since Kishi wants us to keep predicting, I have one last prediction on who Tobi is and I think I'm right ---

Madara's brother!!!!

i'm not sure about the meeting between naruto and sasuke in this war i think it will be after the war arc.
overall i do not believe interviews that talk about the future he really changes the things.
like the jump fest interview on 2006;

We get it. You don't like flashbacks, and you don't care about Tobi's identity. If they are that annoying, go on a reading hiatus and then catch-up later.

OT: Seeing Tobi's identity is probably one of the last things I still seem to care about in this manga. Random theory: If Madara Uchiha has no weakness then I see his exit in one of two ways, Sasuke takes him out (somehow Deus Ex Machina related) or he releases himself like Sasori did after Naruto has a little chit chat with him. And the latter option seems to be the most likely.

I've given up on the Tobi = Obito theory just because of a couple of chapters ago. For those who haven't read --
because when Tobi spoke to Kakashi about regrets he also mentioned Gai not remembering faces. If Kishi wanted to hint at Tobi being Obito he could have just had him say something to Kakashi. Also if you look back Tobi is really disturbed by the appearance of Madara. Almost like he hates Madara but kind of shares his ideals. Maybe its a long shot but I'm sold on this idea.

Tobi will do something to Madara.
I dont think naruto will convert madara to the right side.

but my first option is that the kages will do something that will defeat madara they promised to naruto they would beat him, i dont know what will happen but i feel some kishimoto no jutsu coming on the way.
or someome is gonna sacrifice himself to seal madara with the shinigame seal

Yeah, this actually sounds really exciting. Im mostly excited about finally learning who Tobi is and the possibility that Sakura and all the other "favorite" characters will have a big role. I think that it will be the K11 vs. Tobi. It would be like the most epic teamwork ever! cool.gif As for Tobi's identity, I agree with Evil Potato that it might be Izuna Uchiha, especially since Kishi mentioned that they do know each other. I know that's not really saying much, but perhaps it could be some sort of parallel to Itachi and Sasuke and we all know that Kishi likes parallels. wink.gif

As for ET Madara being practically unbeatable. Yeah, I suppose that makes sense. After all, he's basically an amalgamation of two of the strongest shiobi's ever known and seeing how both him and Hashirama grew up in a time where it was kill or be killed, it only makes sense that he would be so much stronger than anyone else.

Still, all this does for me is lend even more credence to the notion that the Uchiha's are some of the most haxed characters in the entire series.

I'm fine with flashbacks too, as long as there is more purpose to them than trying to make us sympathize with the person (especially if it is a villain and/or a person who usually is about to die). These flashbacks are too formulaic and repetitive. Plus I don't need to know every single thing about each character, I can infer things by how they act.

Honestly though, I didn't enjoy Kabuto's flashbacks... In fact they made him too sympathetic of a character. I liked him being enigmatic and hard to figure out. In real life not every villain has a sad history. I understand that one of the themes is hatred being born of hatred or strife but it gets annoying when all of them have sob stories. Some people just enjoy being villains or their goals are just evil regardless of how they view themselves or how happy their upbringing was.

But in the case of Madara and Tobi, if it turns out that they're brothers, I don't really need a flashback. Not in the least. If it's not his brother, I would be super interested in finding out what their history is. But seeing as how Kishimoto usually goes with what's obvious and it'll probably be his brother, or even Obito (though slightly implausible) is more likely than a no-name or someone who's only been mentioned once.

I'm with dovahkiin on this. I don't think Naruto will be changing Madara's mind and I pray that Sasuke has nothing to do with Madara's end, however it comes about.

I think it's more likely the kages will do something to stop Madara or Madara will himself stop while revealing some big secret.

This will probably add more flashbacks to the possible ones already on the horizon.
