the anti ns, their argument about naruto doesn't love sakura anymore.

in this chapter it show how black zetsu survive choujoru stab and how the fate of madara rinnegan.

so do you think the war arc will end in the next volume or not? :)

 

i predict that sakura would appear in the next two or three chapter.

Oh that makes sense.

 

I do think the war arc could very well end in the next volume. Granted I said this for Obito, but it was just him. Now, it's only down to one and everyone are exhausted. Well, the key player Naruto is, which is bad because he needs to go Bijuu mode and start fighting him before things get worse. Now it does depend on the upcoming chapters before I can change my mind, so we'll see how it's formatted. Sakura will show up soon. Now, everyone is involved. This one didn't count, but people are eager. No offense.

Yeah, obviously I think it has merit enough to be posted. I didn't randomly pick a symbol like tying Choji's cheeks to Naruto's crest. No more than I think Ino is like Kushina they both wore hair barettes.

 

I'll repeat: It is significant because you could tie a line from Hashirama to Tsunade to Sakura through the direct inheritance of their will and technique. So I think the groundwork is laid if Sakura were to go after Madara, that could be the way it happens. In a way that honors here "inheritance" and even surpasses her mentor and earns a thumbs up from Hashirama.

 

In this way, Sakura's seal transforming to a senju one could be seen as no different than Naruto's transformation to the frog eyes after learning under Jiraiya.

 

Let's not forget that Sakura's diamond seal burst onto the manga pages with no foreshadowing whatsoever, and that Sakura has said she hasn't unlocked it all the way. So yeah, the groundwork's there. Again, I said it wasn't a prediction, more of a suspicion.

 

And to answer the question is it really important that the symbols resemble each other? Yes. There are two modes of storytelling going on here: the literal words, and the visual art. Kishimoto has to be both, but as I've said before, the art comes across without translation, so it's important not to disregard it. We agonize over the turns of phrase, but the imagery conveys just as much of a message. And Kishi has shown many times over that he has planted images that are only unveiled to have significance much later on. 

Sorry but i'm going to disagree with you, Sakura's powerup and the seal had nothing to do just "Tsunade has the seal therefore i should have one too".

The seal was all of sudden because we had no idea how it could be obtainable and worse because it was done right on the moment Naruto and Sasuke were engaging on the fight against those monsters.

Kind of an asspull(i'm not complaining of asspull since the story is full of them even Naruto has it), it has to do with development.
Sakura's development as shinobi has ended, there's no purpose on her obtaining an sage mode.

All that Sakura wanted was being capable of fighting alongside Naruto and Sasuke without being a burden to them because they had to fight to protect her while she was on the back.

And she needed this[seal] to get that.

 

The sasori's fight was to shown how much she improved in terms of skill but more important to show her will not to just "Look at this b@d@ss heroine".

 

What kind of development would have on her obtaining a sage mode?

Sasuke: "you'll regret abandoning Edo Tensei.  Now we can send you to hell once and for all."

 

You make it sound so easy Sasuke.  Not even the five Kage could do anything and he was still Edo tensei, which from Madara's words, he was actually weaker than he is now.

 

I liked Madara saying:  "I should be the one saying that." in response to Sasuke's "Don't get cocky."

 

It was nice seeing how Black Zetsu escaped the Mist ninja to get to where he is now.  Now, he plans to use Obito like a puppet.  Part of the reason being he went behind Madara's back, and this is sort of a punishment.  Poor Obito, he can't catch a break, even when trying to do the right thing.

 

It seems the key to this fight is aiming at the Hashirama head on Madara's stomach.  We see Madara make sure that didn't get damaged with Sasuke's sword.  That's obviuosly the key.  Still, it's easier said than done.  Madara is having no trouble with anyone so far.

 

Also, what did that fire jutsu Madara executed do?  It looked like he somehow teleported himself.  Also, it seems Naruto got burned and Sasuke didn't, before showing Madara was no longer in the vicinity, and appears where the Alliance is, facing the six Bijuu.

 

I can't wait for the next chapter.  The ending has me on edge of what happens next.

 

@Hanabi, looking at your sig.  Really?  They're running away from Hinata?

@DattebayoXShannaro: yup. road to ninja.

[Sinedd]

Since Sasuke couldn't kill Obito, now is after Madara, but what he does it's a big mistake for him becuse Madara is waaay stronger than Sasuke. Why would he want to kill a Uchiha? He really wants to be the last Uchiha? Madara wants him by his side, still he refuses.
Zetsu took control over Obito, Uchiha doesn't die so easily, right? We will see Obito longer than we expected. Obito went through many changes!!!! From mask to mask, without mask, Jinchuuriki and now another "change", his face is divided in 2. One Obito, one Zetsu, cool!

[MangaReader]

I'm interested to see how things continue from here... because in all honesty, Madara really shouldn't be able to capture every single released Bijuu without becoming exhausted, but I guess since right now he's blind and kicking major butt, he'll probably be able to do just that. Yeah I get he's seeing through Sage Mode, but come on, he should be owning that much when blind, heck Naruto wasn't even that amazing when he first used full power Sage mode

[Hiraishin]

^ it is Hashirama's senjutsu power, though.

My favourite part of the chapter is when Naruto says it burns. Good job, Naruto... Fire is hot.

I can't help myself

[sushi.]

^To be fair, I wouldn't know it was fire if Naruto hadn't mentioned it.

 

About the chapter, it was good. I admit. I'm just not looking forward to this fight. I would have, if it happened 6 months ago. Now it's too late and I'm tired of this. Besides, considering Madara's OP-ness, this battle will probably not go anywhere, until another 6 months. :(

 

And at last..why does nobody help Hashirama pull those spikes out of his back?

[Hiraishin]

guys I just noticed that the SEVEN TAILS ISN'T THERE on that last panel?? Unless it is and I just can't see it then never mind.

And at last..why does nobody help Hashirama pull those spikes out of his back?

Man, I don't know. A lot of stuff in Naruto would have been simpler and shorter (like fights and stuff) if people just used common sense tbh.

Maybe it's in the sky? But I do agree it should be shown.

[Hiraishin]

It should just fly the hell away, yo. That way even if Madara has the other bijuu he won't be able to become the Juubi jinchuuriki, cause he doesn't have one of them.

Because it's not Naruto anymore it's Dragon Ball Z, didnt you noticed Sasuke being Vegeta attacking Madara and got his ass whoped.

See, I think Sakura's still got one more trick up her sleeve. I think they all do, in fact. I think there will be a final push from Team 7 with each revealing something they haven't yet done for the grand finale. And this is especially so after Sakura made that vague comment about not being at full power or not having th seal fully unlocked. I just think Team 7 is going to get final boost, a last hurrah in the end. Maybe it's just wishful thinking.

 

However, if Sakura (or anyone of them do) there won't be any great build up, any flash backs of training. Just a battlefield moment where suddenly everything comes together like it never did before and they're able to accomplish what they need to.

 

I think if Sakura were to go into a sage mode somehow, it would be something she's trained for off-panel. Like all her other powerups. Not something she is shown training for.

 

So, thinking along those lines, if Sakura was to get a final battle power up, my guess would be that it would somehow tie into the senjutsu chakra. Maybe even with the necessity of removing Hirashin's face from madara's chest, Sakrua then surpasses Kabuto as well by overturning one od his medical procedures. Again, though, all just speculation.

Would be nice to get those powerups but it must have make sense with her development after all(like he did with other characters so far including Sasuke), Sakura ended up with a great self confidence boost and fullfilled her vow on part 1 that she wont be on the back watching Naruto and Sasuke fighting to protect her.

This is the development as a ninja that she got, all she wanted was to be able to protect Naruto and Sasuke and caught up with them, she became a medical ninja nd with her seal she can use advanced healing techniques and also with her strenght she can fight alongside them rather than being protected, in order for those powerups make sense, Kishi will have to make her character downgrade on her self confidence and put her on a situation where she's useless(kinda similar to when Tsunade lose Dan), and i doubt on this late of the story, Kishi has something reserved on his sleeve for that.

 

Sakura sage mode is unlikely because the seal is not necessary for the sage mode making it extremely ridiculous for her to use that after she got the seal.

 

In a way if Sakura gets a final powerup just theorizing it makes more sense for her to learn Fuuinjutsu(Uzumaki) rather than sage mode, it's something that Naruto lacks and very usefull.

 

Naruto and Sasuke got so many asspulls but at least those made sense with their development.

Okay so Sai dying in this fight did cross my mind but I like to think Kishi is setting up for the grand epic team 7 vs enemy battle. I really want to see team 7 doing team things. I love Sai (T_T), if there won't be a team 7 battle then this war has to enddddd.

[Kster95]

Kishi will definitely put Sakura in one of the 2 big battles, I am thinking she will join the black zestu vs Minato, Kakashi fight. Seeing how she knows a little bit about white zestu and maybe some more talking with Minato will happen. 

[Dragunov]

Well I guess you can say this whole arc has been a.... 

of an ordeal.

[CloudMountainJuror]

I just decided to give this chapter a look after one of my friends posted a screenshot. I have to say, even though I'm not really reading the series anymore... I may just check it out every week for now to see Madara (hopefully) kick everyone to the curb.

 

At this point, I'm honestly rooting for him. The only character I really care about anymore is still stuck in Izanami, and Madara is at least entertaining to watch be badass.
