Well Juugo's either unconscious or dead and going by Sasuke's pre-fight comments, I think he'll grab him when its time to leave rather then just abandon him. That would be a further nod to Kakashi's teachings about never abandoning your teammates which judging by Kakashi's presence and Hokage candidacy is somewhat important.


I think Raikage just lost his arm in this chapter and will be considerably less effective after the fight, which does a nice job of neutering him and taking him out of further fights.

Madara wants to become complete? So he has a powered up form as well... Hmm. Where is the other half of Kyuubi's chakra now? Because I think that is going to be very important for Naruto to beat him.

Are you a Sasuke fan? It sure seems like it. I respect your opinion but I have to disagree. Anyways I really don't think Raikage lost his arm and the lightening Raiton surrounding him can act as a barrier which was indicated by the commit Raikage made when he was surprised Sasuke was able to penetrate through his skin and If I remember correctly he charged his chakra up even more which could increase the lightening making a even stronger barrier that could of protected him from Amaterasu. Like I said I believe Madara will rescue Sasuke and Sasuke will be full of lust for more power/hatred/revenge and won't care about friends anymore making Naruto more determined to rescue Sasuke. If Sasuke cared about the rest of Taka he would of thanked Juugo and Suigutsu when they save his arse. Hopefully whatever Sakura tells Naruto will keep him from acting ignorant again over Sasuke and act more mature.

I am sorry, I got to disagree, with you hear. WHY in earth would SASUKE even care? When it is shown that he is full of hatred right know.

You seriously think RaiKage lost an arm when he an KAGE LEVEL being?

I agree, with UzimikeKage ON this.


PLUS, it sounds like your an SASUKE FAN. I am not saying you are thought it just seem that way since you think he will save Jugo and BEAT A KAGE LEVEL being.

Other than the power bomb page, there really wasn't a lot of excitement going on in this chapter
-Sasuke had another near death experience *gasp*
-His team is either hiding or getting beat up
-Naruto's had the exact same expression on his face for the last few pages (It's kinda funny, actually)
-We're confronted, again, by the increasingly tedious question, "What is your goal, Madara?"

As for the last point, I'm somewhat more interested. My thoughts were, at first, that all of the tailed beasts were, at one time, a part of Madara, but I don't think that's right...Then I thought that, since this whole story is surprisingly dramatic, Madara is just seeking to satisfy his thirst for revenge...to become "whole" after so many years of anger and depression.

But what's the point? I mean, really, how long has this guy been beating around the bush before he put his goals into action? It's not like he's in the prime of his life or anything, and these "clashes" between the good guys and the bad guys have been going on for generations, so why wait until now? The whole plan is so unnecessarily complicated that I think even the Joker might have been jealous.

Yes, because you bloody agree with everything.

He won't beat a Kage level ninja, since his ass is already getting a kicking, and plus Madara will whisk him away at the last minute. But he never disregards his teammates. Why?

Look at this.

I don't always agree on everything it just seems, so unlike, Sasuke to me at least to care about something like that. Bloody heck, I am not saying he going to beat a kage level being I agree, on the whisking away part by Madara Imo.


I am doubting, if he will save the rest of TEAM TAKA, since Kishimoto was forced to do something with them, if I remember the interview I READ awhile back correctly.

Ara, ara....there's nothing wrong with being a Sasuke fan, lay off the poster (even if I didn't see any indications of blatant Sasuke bias in JABR's post... overreaction much?) And besides, this is somewhat of a character development if Sasuke does save Team Taka if he does try to escape....

I don't think Sasuke will be in any shape to rescue anyone if he's even thinking of anyone else at this point- I don't think he is, he's completely consumed by his hatred- remember Karin's scared reaction last chapter? Even back when he fought Naruto on the hospital roof- once he was consumed with fight rage his mind shut down on thinking of anything but hurting/killing his opponent.

But anyway Sasuke's likely barely conscious at this point. I'm betting this is why Madara chose to skip out now, he's going to whisk away Sasuke from being killed by the Raikage, leaving the rest of Taka behind.

I find it interesting that Madara is talking about being complete, and using the Bijuu to reach completion. Then thinking back earlier it was said that Yondaime Hokage only sealed half of the Kyuubi's chakra inside naruto (The Yang chakra?, I don't remember, I'd have to check). Also, in an interview recently didn't Kishi admit to not having decided the differences in chakra levels in the bijuu? Just a shot in the dark here but what if a "full" (by full i mean both yin and yang chakras) kyuubi has the same amount of chakra equal to two times the amount of the other eight combined. Meaning the 9 tails naruto has plus the chakra of the other 8 bijuu would yield a completed kyuubi. Maybe completion refers to somehow getting back the kyuubi as it was when Madara fought Shodai.

I haven't really thought much past this point, and it's probably not the greatest thought, but I'm tired and was thinking about it and wanted to see if anyone else had any opinions.
