...The Juubi actually kinda fell like a chump. Hope that's not the last we see of it, but it's nice to finally see things taking a dark turn again. It seems that Sasuke's and Orochimaru's actions weren't as clear-cut as we thought at first. We finally get to see the aftermath of the Madara vs Kage battle.

 

Still wondering when we return to the Tobi vs Kakashi battle, but I suppose that can wait.

[Zextra]

Granted we only saw a part of her at the time, but wasn't Katsuyu with Tsunade when she tried to heal the other Kage?

Exactly. That's what I'm confused about too. We'll probably get our answer next chapter.

[·Toot]

God dammit Sakura... Why are you always crying. Damn... But still... that was nice. I actually like this chapter.

Turns out that was Katsuyu. Looks like she just abandoned Tsunade lol. But Orochimaru meeting up with Tsunade in the end kinda got my hopes up. I wonder how this will all turn out. He did meet up with Tsunade right?

[Phantom Roxas]

If anything, shouldn't Katsuyu have mentioned what happened to Tsunade? Then again, Sakura did interrupt her, so maybe Katsuyu wanted to, but just didn't get the chance.

 

I don't think the Jyuubi is defeated, mostly because I still don't think this is its final form.

[·Toot]

It isn't... Didn't Madara say in one of the last chapters that he had 1 more form left? That's when Minato teleported the blast.

[Monkey]

Orochimaru can't save Tsunade, she has to die in order to allow the new era of Sannin to begin.

 

Maybe Katsuyu being summoned by Sskura is a sign that her work with the other 4 Kage is finished and that Tsunade ordered her to help Sakura.

 

But if Juubo went with Orochimaru and Karin instead of Suigetsu, they might be able to save Tsunade

[Phantom Roxas]

Well, Karin has healing abilities, but yeah, Juugo would be able to restore the flesh for Tsunade. Orochimaru probably has something.

[Fusion X. Denver]

Wait, maybe Tsunade died and Orochimaru will Edo Tensei her and have her join the other Kages. 

At the end of the war, Naruto and Sasuke will duke it out for Hokage (not that anyone would give Sasuke a chance, but still), Naruto wins, hopefully good epilogue.

[Phantom Roxas]

But who would Orochimaru sacrifice? Maybe Karin or Juugo? Or perhaps more White Zetsus? Actually, when are we going to see Black Zetsu again?

[Fusion X. Denver]

Forgot about Black Zetsu...wasn't he captured or something?

 

And yeah, he'll probably just grab a Zetsu lying around somewhere if that turns out to be the case.

[Phantom Roxas]

Wow, I completely forgot that the first Zetsu that Sasuke killed was the original White Zetsu.

 

Black Zetsu was taken down by Chōjūrō. I don't think we've seen either of them since.

[Lt. Colonel Remo]

Nope, here's whats going to happen

 

Naruto vs Sasuke

 

both die

 

Sakura as Tsunade 2.0

 

both Naruto and Sasuke as honorary Hokages on the Hokage mountain

[Monkey]

I don't think Orochimaru would use Edo Tensei on Tsunade. I don't think she is alive, it just doesn't make sense to me.

 

With her death, the Hokage slot is open and Naruto has the extra motivation to go to a whole new level. She has to die.

 

Maybe Orochimaru will be a messenger or carrier that Tsunade wants to give to Sakura or Naruto

[Phantom Roxas]

Or maybe Orochimaru somehow manages to revive Jiraiya, even though Kabuto couldn't. Then, the old Sannin will be united once again and they will officially pass the torch to Team 7.

[Monkey]

I thought about that, but then I thought "how did Orochimaru get Jiraiya's DNA?"

 

I'd love to see the old Sannin and Team 7 fight side by side.

[Flame Dragon]

Ok, so the last episode of the anime that I watched was back before March. I know the stuff since Ep 302 has been filler, but has any actual stuff from the manga made its way into the filler eps?

New chapter

http://www.mangapanda.com/naruto/635

[Merci]

Interesting. It's nice to see Sasuke being a bit more Sasuke-ish, and I can totally understand what he tried to do. After all, the bijuu system is rather messed up.

 

I can't understand Orochimaru anymore, but I guess he went through some intense monologuing while stuck inside Anko's neck and ended up doing a Heel Face Turn. The interaction with Tsunade was also pretty nice, Sannin shenanigans. What I hated was Karin. What happened to her character? So she's a masochist now? It doesn't really relate well to her dying thoughts after the Sasuke vs Danzo battle *sigh*

 

The last page was intriguing though. I wonder if Kakashi and Obito are both gonna..... nah, can't be.

[Flame Dragon]

That chapter went almost exactly like anyone would have predicted. Karin is still annoying and Sakura has her fake smile. Should be interesting to see whats happening between Kakashi and Obito.

[Legend Zero]

Ugh. I keep feeling like these chapters are getting worse.

 

1. Why was the chapter jumping back and forth so many times?

2. I think I'm just going to ignore Orochimaru now. They made one of the most sinister villains in the series be reduced to stopping a bickering fight like that. ;~;

3. What is wrong with the women in this series? Sasuke tried his damn best to kill Karin and Sakura and now we have to keep hearing about if they have feelings for him or not.

 

Every problem that is coming out right now, imo, all go back to the initial one: too many characters and not enough development for each. Just show us Naruto and Sasuke playing off each other and it will be fine.

[Fusion X. Denver]

That ending's freaking me out. 

Seriously, don't die Kakashi.

 

I personally like Orochimaru's change; he had to be affected somehow by being dead, yet not dead all this time. When you're isolated and unable to do anything, you tend to reflect on things. And him wanting to see how Sasuke's growth would differ from his is interesting...despite the fact he tried to kill him, but Orochimaru's always been a bit of a masochist =P

I kinda laughed when he tried freaking Suigetsu and Karin out.

 

Karin pisses me off though. He tried killing you in cold blood and your crazy obsession's fueled even further?

What a freak.

Sakura's also bad, but I can honestly forgive it a bit since I've seen her situation with girls I've known in real life.

If you think about it, there are people who can't help but stay infatuated with those that hurt or abuse them constantly, which is sad and shouldn't happen, but still occurs regardless.

It might be easier for Sakura to forgive him since at the time Sasuke seemed off his rocker whereas he's much more calm and collected now.

 

As for Sasuke, nice to see a disagreement on the Bijuu situation here. Even though I'm on Naruto's side, I can absolutely empathize with his perspective. It makes sense.

[Phantom Roxas]

Glad to see that all the Kage are finally healed so we can hurry things up. I agree with Zero that Orochimaru has been reduced to stopping two people bickering, though. So is there anyone who still isn't at the battlefield yet, besides Kakashi and Obito? I'm guessing that we're going to be seeing them as the focus of the next chapter, which I'm fine with.

 

I don't mind all the jumping back and forth in this chapter, because it's gotten to a point where we really need to see what's going on, and Katsuyu was giving Tsunade an idea of what's happening on the battlefield right now.

[Fusion X. Denver]

[spoiler=Found this funny pic, kinda true...]

 

[Monkey]

I didn't like how easily Tsunade was healed. I don't like the fact that she survived. If she survived that, then I don't see Kakashi dying.

 

I'm happy we let the Juubi battlefield. I'm anxious to see what is going on with Kakashi and Obito
