aah, this chapter gave me chills, just the flashback to my favorite scene in the series, when naruto changed gaara
and yes, i missed him too, i hope he doesn't become a slave, don't really care about the others though lol, well, hanzo, but that's just cuz he is supposed to be crazy epic and we haven't seen ANYTHING from him

why didn't Kabuto just kill off their personalities like Oro did the first and second??
he controls their movements regardless, so kishi can create both touching moments between the fights as well as well, you heard what zabuza said.
i'm glad cause i liked these characters and their personalities are just as dear to me as their powers, if not more important than their powers.
is it just me or is sasori severly unprepared for battle right now?

It does not really make perfect sense. Orochimaru could never have known that Sasuke would be able to suppress the Kyuubi with just his Base Sharingan, which is why I don't think that was what he meant.
Nah, perfect sense, like I said.
Unless, of course, it was a secret that Madara controlled the Kyuubi in both his attack attempts against the village. (I'll skip the convo and just say it, now: it was a secret the second time, but not the first time.)

Or Sasuke is just that strong. vin
After all, one Tailed Naruto gave problems to VotE Sasuke, but couldn't fully put him down. Sasuke post Timeskip had improved by a huge amount, far more so than any other End of part 1 genin had.
Even without Sharingan Hax, Sasuke still has a way to KO 4 Tailed Naruto: Kirin.
Don't cheat! It was second release seal Sasuke! 😠 😠 😠

The Preta Path was able to revert Sage Mode Naruto to Base Naruto, and he didn't turn to stone. It was only after Naruto re-entered Sage Mode that he turned to stone.
Was that in the anime, only? I don't remember the back and forth in the manga.
If it was, it is an obvious plot hole in the writing as no one trained to use sage-chakra would almost immediately turn to stone once absorbing it. (The imbalance of their own chakra to the sage chakra with no knowledge of how to balance it out would cause every single ninja minus sage-mode trained ninja to turn to stone, very shortly after they absorbed the sage chakra.
If Naruto reverted, I'd say it was just Naruto running out of Sage chakra, not it being absorbed. Agreed?
That also reminds me: if absorbing large amounts of chakra heals you...wouldn't going sage mode heal sage users? (Think Kisame). OR, is that a trait specific to Kisame because of a blood line limit he has?

Moreso because very few people have proper counters to 4 Tailed Naruto, and we've only seen it in action once.
6 Tailed Naruto could go into S+.
Personally, I'd put 4T Naruto in S, because Naruto was hurt tremendously once the Transformation subsided. Just like the case with Gai, who has S class level power in 7 Gates mode, but loses the functions of his muscles after he closes the Gates. In terms of power, 4T Naruto might be in S+, or top of S, but because of the huge drawback, it drops down.IMO, Orochimaru and SM Jiraiya as the benchmark would be better. We know a lot more about them, and along with someone like Danzou and perhaps Hiruzen, they form the upper portion of S+.
hmm
Okay. I agree to everything you've stated. Yes, I did think about it, and, yes, I do indeed agree with it.
If he makes seals and takes away their will, then he has to control them much more directly, meaning controlling that many should be right out. If he lets them have some will, his control is less but they can act on their own better, and he hopes his control will gradually wear down their resistance.
I'm getting the impression there is no good way to control a whole ton at once easily.

Kabuto plans to make them mindless when it's time for battle but is not going to yet because why bother with it? And others like Deidara are preferable with their personalities anyway so it's not like it hurts anybody to just let them think their own thing.Also...
Spoiler:
Sai's brother?
Hm, the one with the sensor you mean?

Yep. Doesn't look like any Root seem so far but reminds me of Sai's brother.Also, how the hell does Sasori know who Tobi is? How does he even recognize him?
Originally posted by King Kandy
Deidara already knew Tobi... evidently he'd been some guy who'd just been hanging out with the akatsuki while not a member for some time. I used to wonder about that too.
Yea, they do have agents and associates, likely mostly working for specific members. Kabuto, for example, was with Orochimaru when he was a member and thus was known to some of 'em.
