Naruto: Post Timeskip Disscussion (Warning Intense Spoilers!)

[miles0624]

What the **** is this. Literally cut Tsunade in half, sent her parts flying to different parts, and everyone else just gets sliced. REALLY. Tsunade, get some stitches. Also, loved how confident Katsuyu was that Tsunade could save herself. (Which, she could save everyone else better if she herself were put toghter. Just saying.) F this chapter. I'm done.

[gliscor&yanmega]

I enjoyed this chapter. Can't wait for the next few chapters, explanations seem to be starting.

Kages and Obito scenes were pretty gruesome. Don't really remember the most recent before those.

[Joltik-Kid]

Oh wow... just... wow

Pretty cool chapter, but I'm speechless beyond that

[TsukiMirage]

While taking down the Kages was the right move, I can't help but think they'll still not be dead, meaning we'll still won't have any named deaths yet. Well, Tsunade looks like she's about to sacrifice herself, so I suppose there's still hope. Madara's fan continues to be awesome, and Madara somehow preventing/delaying the Bijuu Rasengan from exploding was cool. Madara and Obito still seem too close for my liking, but at least we're beginning to learn what had went down. Hopefully we get more flashbacks next chapter. Pretty good chapter.

[Platinum fan.]

Man, poor Kages. Poor Tsunade, the Hokage got ripped in half. If this is the end of Tsunade I hope she can save Gaara, A, Mei, and Oonoki. Tsunade might not have been the most relevant character in part 2, but she deserves a heroes death. I guess nothing can stop the power of a hax Uchiha. I'm glad they addressed that Obito wanted Nagato to use his "bring back to life jutsu thingie" for Madara. While it was pretty obvious at this point what it was for, glad it was confirmed. Madara and Obito's relationship needs to be explained and it looks like we're going to get it next chapter. I would love to see how Obito became this master planner when he couldn't even plan to meet Kakashi, Rin, and Minato at the correct meeting time. Probably to busy plotting his evil plans back then too and they take time, you know.

[Joltik-Kid]

For those who possibly were thinking the first masked man was Madara... unless he dyed his hair, it appears that Obito was in fact the one who attacked both Naruto's parents and the Village.

So we got an early chapter this week. How strange. Anyway, I wasn't pleased about the Gokage; I thought Madara might have just left the battle without fighting them, but they're all down. I really hope Tsunade doesn't die, but things aren't looking too good. Anyway, at least this chapter gave us a peek at how Obito and Madara met.

[Shadow Lucario]

People wanted some characters to die and this is what you get. The five Kages were slaughtered and are now teetering on death. Tsunade is more than likely going to die after she saves the other four.

[uber gon]

So how in the **** did Hashirama beat Madara? I mean COME ON!

[PokeMaster366]

So how in the **** did Hashirama beat Madara? I mean COME ON!

Because last time, Madara didn't have the bonus of those wood powers he used to break Tsunade in half like a twig.

Yeah, guess my wood clone theory was wrong. I smell new backflash next week, this could actually be a little interesting. But I'm more curious about the fan, and when Obito and Sasuke are going to switch sides (cause you know they will). Unless they die. Or both.

EDIT: after thinking for a sec, that fan seems like the Impact Dials from one piece. For those of you who don't know what those are, they're these little shells that absorb the impact of a hit, then, if you tap your enemy with it, it cause the same amount of force that was absorbed to hit the enemy. Unless it's like the Reject Dial (which is basically a better version of the Impact Dial), but I doubt that.

[gliscor&yanmega]

No Rinnegan, no wood, no Edo Tensei benefits. Madara wasn't as strong then as he is now.

[Ciccone]

Ew, I just noticed that Tsunade's body was crushed in half. She's definitely going to die now, which sucks since we didn't get to see what her chakra natures were. I think Onoki should've died in her place; he kept getting beaten down, only to come back like three times. Kishi obviously favors him. This whole war has been an utter mess imo.

Actually, I have a feeling she'll survive. Because this is naruto, and somebody must live after being cut in half. Who isn't Hidan. She'll be out for the count, but alive.

[Kamex]

Guess I was wrong about Madara leaving the Kages alone. Horribly, horribly wrong. Lol.

For those who possibly were thinking the first masked man was Madara... unless he dyed his hair, it appears that Obito was in fact the one who attacked both Naruto's parents and the Village.

True, perhaps Obito was helped by the whole time-travel thing that Madara might possibly be able to do. At this point do we even have any confirmation of what kind of powers the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan affords its user?

If Obito ends up having a change of heart, I just hope it isn't too impulsive. It wouldn't make sense to make him fickle all of a sudden considering Tobi's dedication and resolve throughout his tenure as a villain...

Anything that was done by "Tobi" was done by Obito. Also, the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan affords the same powers of the Mangekyou Sharingan, minus the amazing power of blindness, I think.

[DucksGoMooful]

Oh snap, today's chapter was awesome! This kind of chapter is one that I like a lot, because it has plot stuff but also some action. And Naruto got super mad at Madara.

What are the theories surrounding the guy at the end of the chapter? Nagato? Madara? Someone else?

It's Madara. It looks like Nagato at first glance(At less to me and a few others I've seen mention it), but when you give him another look and think what actually makes sense, it's Madara. It's not stated, but it's pretty obvious that it's him.

[Shneak]

- Stealth chapter!
- They're all gone. To a better place.
- OH MY GOD. I posted that point above before I saw the next page. How nice to get killed off-screen.
- NOO. Tsunade got bisected BY A TREE.
- Whoa, so Nagato was supposed to revive Madara during the Invasion of Pain. The manga would be incredibly different if he did that instead of reviving Konoha.
- Haha, Madara's annoyed that basically every Akatsuki member betrayed them.
- Madara's fan is more hax than Tenten's fan.
- Jesus, Old Madara is terrifying. If that is him... why was he revived so young then?

Heavy chapter. Definitely included some interesting developments. It kind of sucks to see the Kages defeated AFTER the fight, but I'm just worried about them now. No way Tsunade survives this.

[Kamex]

Anything that was done by "Tobi" was done by Obito.

Right, that's why I'm saying that it wouldn't make sense for him to switch sides very easily. The current unmasked Tobi is showing slight emotion and thoughtfulness, almost as though to foreshadow his eventual aligning with the "good guys", but since Tobi was so set on achieving his goals all this time, Kishi would have to make his change of heart believable, which would be difficult if it ends up being complete and clean-cut like the Kyuubi's was.

Also, the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan affords the same powers of the Mangekyou Sharingan, minus the amazing power of blindness, I think.

Hm, really? I guess that makes sense, I don't know why I just assumed the EMS gave you extra abilities...

It's Madara. It looks like Nagato at first glance(At less to me and a few others I've seen mention it), but when you give him another look and think what actually makes sense, it's Madara. It's not stated, but it's pretty obvious that it's him.

Not to mention the Sharingan. He can't be Nagato, haha.
