Naruto: Post Timeskip Disscussion (Warning Intense Spoilers!)

[uber gon]

Somehow I think Kakashi will be justified in stabbing Rin. Maybe she's a spy.

[SkyDeity]

This seems to have setup written all over it.

[Iota]

Perhaps the rain was the setup of some sort of confusion Genjutsu, causing them to view each other as enemies? Dunno, but I sincerely hope they don't make Rin a spy. Although at least now we know why her death caused Kakashi pain in the beginning.

[Platinum fan.]

Another boring chapter for Platinum fan...until we reached the end that is. That was surprising. I think this shocked me more then Tobi revealing himself to be Obito, for obvious reasons of course. Maybe this is why Kakashi scolded Sasuke on not to use Chidori on a member from his own village. This reveal makes Kakashi a even more interesting character. Poor Rin. So the ending of this chapter alone made it AWESOME. I cannot wait for the next one. I wonder if they'll dive right into why Kakashi did what he did or make us wait?

[TsukiMirage]

Kakashi being the one to kill Rin was a surprise, but Obito must will realize there's more going on, else he would have condemned Kakashi from killing her instead of merely letting her die. And I suppose the mention of spiral Zetsu taking control in battle will be used to explain why he preformed as he did against Minato. Alright chapter.

Honestly, I was less taken aback by the 'revelation' at the end. The end didn't really fix the rest of the chapter for me. As a standalone chapter, not much of anything happened here. I yawned..

This.. Also explains why Tobi had this cheery personality before the meeting with Konan and Pain.

How does Zetsu know what Rin and Kakashi look like anyway?

[Shneak]

- Love the coloured Obito page, even thought the characters have been retconned to be the same age.
- So gross.
- Madara's finished his 1 year nap. I wonder if he got all of his memories back.
- Whoa, grumpy old man. YOU WILL THANK ME.
- The hideout is the Bone Graveyard. Interesting.
- Shouldn't Obito's eyes be burning? He hasn't really seen light.
- Kakashi and Obito being responsible? That could be a twist.
- Or that. Wow.

Not sure how to react. There's obviously a missing link between the reason why Kakashi killed Rin and what Obito perceived. Kakashi didn't know Obito was alive until this fight though, so I doubt they confront each other.

[Joltik-Kid]

That is a question that will likely never be answered.

Boring chapter till the end though... Gotta figure out why Kakashi killed Rin

[DucksGoMooful]

I was going to say about 10 pages in (as Obito was running there), "He seems too liable to swing to the evil side if he discovers Rin's dead. Unless something's been messing with his brain, he should still be wholly (or near wholly) good at heart, so even if he saw Rin dead, he shouldn't turn evil because of that." But seeing Kakashi kill Rin would definitely do it to him. Interesting chapter.

[waffle_x_v]

I think maybe zetsu disguised himself as kakashi and killed rin? That, or kakashi has a justified reason.

[Kamex]

I would guess that it's more likely Kakashi had a justified reason. I just hope Obito actually sticks around long enough to find out why it happened (even if it still leads him to hating the world) rather than just shed a tear, turn around and crawl back to Madara's lair with his tail between his legs.

[TsukiMirage]

How does Zetsu know what Rin and Kakashi look like anyway?

The Zetsus were spread all around gathering information. It shouldn't have been to hard to discover what Kakashi and Rin look like when they knew where they lived.

[Ver-mont]

I don't think Kakashi would be crying if that was just a Zetsu setup to mess with Obito's head.

[Kamex]

The Zetsus were spread all around gathering information. It shouldn't have been to hard to discover what Kakashi and Rin look like when they knew where they lived.

They also might have been watching Minato's squad during the Kannabi bridge mission. Perhaps Madara had Zetsu keep an eye on Obito (and his teammates) until his supposed death.

They must have, since they were close enough to rescue Obito soon afterward.

[7 tyranitars]

That was certainly suprising. I will put my money on mind confusing Genjutsu. (Used on either Kakashi or Rin)

Zetsu is basically controlling Obito's body in the suit right now. So if this is all a set up, then this will be the point where Zetsu will turn around so that Obito will never see what really happened, nor meet with Kakashi again.

I think that when he turns around, the Rin that we see will turn out to be a Zetsu-clone, meaning that Rin was killed before by the Kirigakure Ninjas, Zetsu spored her body, picked a fight with Kakashi, and transformed into Rin to screw with him even more.

Of course would Kakashi then have tears in his eyes! He probably just lost Rin moments ago and is forced to take down an enemy that has taken on her likeness! The 'Rin-clone' saying Kakashi's name is just another psychological torture thingie that I think Zetsu kinda like to do in general...

I think maybe zetsu disguised himself as kakashi and killed rin? That, or kakashi has a justified reason.

I think Zetsu disguised himself as Rin! :P

They must have, since they were close enough to rescue Obito soon afterward.

That's a nice twist.. The 'Madara found you when the cave collapsed'-line just doesn't seem that likely considering how little Madara actually appears to move and how Obito would be covered in even more rubble then before.

That was certainly suprising. I will put my money on mind confusing Genjutsu. (Used on either Kakashi or Rin)

What I said above, or this.. But even then why would Kakashi be under genjutsu when he has his Sharingan on?

[Kamex]

Yeah he probably wouldn't... but I also don't think he'd be crying if he wasn't currently in the act of killing Rin herself. And I'm also not convinced that Zetsu is even against Obito... even though he/they/it works for Madara, it seems like Zetsu's sympathetic and friendly toward Obito. But I could be wrong, since Madara must have some plan to get Obito to come around, Zetsu might be a part of that plan. *shrugs*

I'm glad someone mentioned this. Obito clearly stated that Kakashi let Rin die, not that he killed her. There is clearly more to this than what we were shown. Sawyer7mage in his review said it best when it was "a cliffhanger gone wrong."

What I said above, or this.. But even then why would Kakashi be under genjutsu when he has his Sharingan on?

His Sharingan doesn't provide immunity to other Sharingan-based genjutsu especially since he is a non-Uchiha. Don't forget when Itachi placed him under Tsukuyomi. Even Sasuke was momentarily affected by that in his battle with Itachi.
