The Official Naruto series Thread

Okay...time to go into things.

What I dislike:

Spoiler:
Mei is once again shafted so that someone else can look good, though in this case it was Tsunade so that is better than Onoki at least. The reveal of the Edo Tensei thing was good but also leads to the question of why Tobirama(who HAD to have known the seals) didn't free himself the moment he was summoned by Orochimaru. My guess is that since Orochimaru was there and the Kage were not in top form, they didn't have enough free will or ability to set themselves free. Speculation but whatever.

What I liked:

Spoiler:
Madara gets to stick around for a bit longer at least and got to do so not because of a magic Rinnegan power but because of his past knowledge(he may have remembered the seals because of his Sharingan though). Dan and Tsunade actually have a sweet moment and we got to see his technique in action. And most importantly, Chiyo cameo. And she makes a joke while dying. Awesome. I hope I'm that cool when I'm old.

Mei is the Temari of the Kages afterall so that's kind of expected.

Spoiler:
Doesn't look like Kabuto's waking up anytime soon and I guess the reason why Tobirama, or Hashirama for that matter, couldn't break out of ET because they didn't have enough free will to do so.

I'm with you on that logic, wakkawakkawakka. if they actually had free will, they would have done something much sooner before they were sealed away. and given their personalities, I doubt they would have done the seals anyway, given that they favor the younger generation carrying on with their legacies and all that.

still, impressive move on Madara's part. gives us time to see him and his final susanoo in action a bit more.

Well I don't think they could've stopped getting their souls ripped out. Though the two Hokages could've done something when they were first summoned in order break the pack with Orochimaru.

Now that Madara looks like he's here to stay wonder if we'll get to see faps again.

Oh yea, ratings stuff-

Dan for A+? And Madara/Hashirama for SS (dropping the minus!)?

Oro was right there though, if Tobirama started he could shove the kunai in right then.

Yeah there that..but that moot since I doubt Tobirama or Hashirama had the will to do anything about it; that and Kishi hadn't though that far ahead in the manga.

I though the minus was already dropped for those two.

Madara with upgrades has no minus- this'd be the base versions getting boosted.

Why did Tsunade regain her Yin seal? I thought she had spent decades storing chakra.

Dan dumped his chakra on her.

It's probably not at full, but a jonin passing over his full tank isn't going to hurt.

But Madara said she received chakra so I suppose he did.

I'm pretty sure that chakra doesn't work that way.

He uses his ghost-possession jutsu, it may just be something he can do because of that.

Heard a reviewer start calling Dan "Danny Phantom"....

I'll never be able to call him anything else now.

Might as well do it. ET Madara is far more versatile than Prime Madara, but their strongest techs are the same. Still, ET Madara should be higher. He's got infinite chakra and a regenerating body. Only thing that can stop him at this point are sealing jutsu.

Goddamn, I hope the Kage don't find some bullshit way to stop him. They're best & last method of beating him was stopped by FAPS.
I do want him to beat them.

Also, dude, FAPS, not faps.

What are the Kage supposed to even do at this point? 😐

I mean, I wanted Madara to stick around but they can do nothing to stop him. NOTHING. Unless somehow they know Reaper Death Seal and can pull that off.

Would like to see him interact with Tobi and Sasuke so I'm hoping that he'll just leave...I mean, they're not going to be a challenge anymore and he got to test out his stuff. May as well see how different the world is.

If A or Tsunade taijutsu crushes him, then Gaara can sand-seal him.

Though I wonder if reinforcements will show up. Hmm... who is even *left* to possibly reinforce?

Susano'o.

The only ninja of Kage level that isn't in the Naruto battle or quickly approaching the Naruto battle is Sasuke, and he's not a good guy.

I think it's about time to cut back to Taka though. I want to see what's in that scroll.

I don't know, bore him to death? Kishi could easily come up with some BS. Nagato was beaten by a book.

Same here. Want to see what he'll do when he meets Tobi.
Maybe a fight between the two would be great. Madara training Sasuke would be kewl. Both hate Konoha.

The rest of the Shinobi Alliance? The Zetsu are the only enemies left.
Madara could easily decimate the SA though.

Yea, I'm just thinking of names who might even be remotely useful to the fight.

Mifune (I think was still fighting Chiyo and Kimimaro), Darui and Kitsuchi (not remotely near by), Gai and Kakashi (with Naruto)...

Ah. Forgot about Mifune....

Man, Mifune is awesome. He should have been in charge of the SA.

He will..afterall all the other Edo zombies have been fodderized despite being legit villains. Maybe Madara might just wander off and destroy the parking lot that used to be Konoha.....or make friends with Sasuke. Either way the Kages have nothing to throw at him.

But Mifune isn't a shinobi Too bad really.
