His foes are *really* good physically, so it is kinda risky. Naruto is just flat-out strong, if a rasengan gets absorbed but the hand behind it still hits, that's dangerous.

And this time, he was well away from rasengans that'd go over in the manner of the last one. The issue was it was a blone 🙂

But even if he can't use Path and Kamui at the same time he should still be able to use all of his Path powers at once like Nagato did. Asura path could be used to block Naruto's arm while Preta would absorb the attack.

meh...just find it odd that Tobi hasn't used his Path powers once this whole fight.

As do I. We've seen Madara make good use of them, especially to absorb attacks, but Tobi seems to be far too reliant on his intangibility. Its all he's done so far.

Hopefully now he'll realise that he can't play keep-away anymore to give the statue time to work. Although I doubt Kakashi has many more Kamui's in him. Unless someone can give him a chakra boost that is.

So how pissed are we going to be if Kishi cuts to Sasuke next week?

As long as they resurrect Danzō it will be fine. Heck, it will probably be better if he decides to do that.

Besides, chapter 600 is a great landmark to showcase the masked man's true identity. Even if it is Obito.

I'm not going to be pissed at all. I like Sasuke-kun. awesome

I wouldn't mind cutting to Madara in all seriousness. But the chapter does need to end with Tobi's face.

he might, since chapter 600 should be reserved for the big reveal.

It might be that 599 is the reveal, and 600 is the flashback which explains it. He's done that before.

We've seen Tobi physically overpower Naruto.

There is no reason to not use the Path powers.

We have? When was that?

And this is Naruto in his ultimate mode too, which is going to be stronger than even his normal kyuubi chakra mode.

They do consume a fair amount of chakra.

Tobi's chakra seems to be effectively limitless, to be honest.

Seriously, have we ever seen him tire?

And stfu I'm not searching for scans at three in the morning, how rude of you.

I'd say they're different than we are. Magic healing powers are good for some things, less so for others.

For example, Orochimaru's senju test that gave Yamato powers. It seems like compatibility could be tested without actually putting babies at risk. Not necessarily 'will it work' compatibility, but 'will this be fatal'. One can judge many types of reactions with tissue samples and less dangerous trials.

Good point. That did seem like a waste of time what Oro was doing. But Kishimoto has shown, multiple times, that he is not the smartest writer when it comes to science.

And of course, the tuberculosis thing. Disease seems trickier for chakra medics than it is for us.

Yes: Kimimaru is not the only character to have a disease that we could probably treat.

Btw, one fun invention that is in the works and has been tested- spray-on skin.

Rather than skin graphs, they take some stem cells, some existing skin cells, which quickly grows more (like,in an hour or two), and then it's put in what's basically a paint gun, spray it over the skinless area.. and it's done and healthy in four days.

I was aware of this. However, I was not aware that you were into bio-medical technologies. This means we can be friends. 😐

Excellent points.

Naruto is also stupid fast. He's supposed to be on par with Minato in speed...supposed to be. But it seems Kishimoto forgot about that.

My guess is that after the reveal, he'll start using path powers.

Naruto is as fast as Minato but the reason Minato is fast is the polar opposite of why Naruto is fast.

Anywho, the reason Tobi didn't use the paths was shock, in addition to Naruto being super fast. Had Naruto not shocked him, he would have used his Rinnegan powah. As it was, he barely had time to figure out what had happened.

I'll note that Nagato was speed blitzed by B but once he regened his ET body, he was able to react in time to B's attacks.

If you guys are curious, go read the encounter he had with B, again. It is a neat read. Shows that health plays a role, at least for Nagato, in the ability to react.

We know Tobi is supposed to be weaker than a full powered self when he was claiming to be Madara. Maybe that still holds true?

We also know that using Uchiha eyes has a much greater drain on non-Uchiha's than it does for Uchihas. So if Tobi is Obito, that would explain why he is able to spam a higher caliber version of Kamui more than Kakashi.

same here

omg, not sure how i feel about possibly....liking q99

YouTube video 😛

the latest shippuden episode was pretty decent

The one where Chouji finally stops being a pansy and goes all pretty butterfly? Or did a new one come out? Time to check gogoanime.com

new one came out with gedo mazo

Just watched it. Good to see the story moving forward(for a moment there it felt like it was dragging on and stalling) and heading towards the good parts(can't wait until Madara shows up) I've kept myself from reading the manga.
