Naruto: Post Timeskip Disscussion (Warning Intense Spoilers!)

[Platinum fan.]

Do we know why Tobirama created the Edo Tensei jutsu? I think it would be interesting if it was influenced by his brother's death.

I don't think we do, someone correct me if I'm wrong. But that's not a bad idea on how it would come about.

By the way, love the Tenten animation you got there. I guess the anime is the only place she can truly thrive. Poor Tenten.

I don't think Tobirama invented Edo Tensei to revive his dead brother. I mean he doesn't seem like that kind of person since he's very stoic and in control of his emotions.

Not sure if that would be the best idea, but learning about why the jutsu was created would put my confusion to rest. The guy clearly has said twice that this was not the purpose it was unintended for.

Pretty sure that's from either the current opening or ending, because from what I remember, she doesn't even thrive there either.

She got a pretty decent filler episode a few years back.. And a bit of spotlight at the beachfight with the fan.. xD

[Shneak]

It's not necessary, but it would be nice to get some backstory on Edo Tensei. I don't think I (maybe we) expected it to be so pivotal in Part II.

The Tenten gif is from the recent filler arc. It's the only place where she can fight an Edo Tensei corpse on screen.

Hmm, pretty boring chapter this week. I mean there wasn't that much going on aside from some conversations between Hashirama and Madara. I guess it was neat to see Madara's father at the end, but that's just something that's mildly interesting in my opinion. Looks like we may get a battle next week. I hope so.

[HoennMaster]

What is it with Kishi and boys peeing? Second time in the arc.

I realize backstory is nice and all, but IDK, I feel this is starting to drag on. Still, the fight next week looks to be interesting.

[SenorLaughsaLot]

I want to see Tobirama and Izuna in action as young'ns. I sort of sped through the chapter, hoping the backstory would end mid-way, but I thought it was alright. The end is what had me excited, but then it says that they will be taking a break next week.

Sigh...

This flashback is dragging on....

[Platinum fan.]

I thought the chapter was better then last weeks but only a little. I think this story is very important but again the timing is just way off and I want to get back to Naruto and crew vs Madara and Tobi. This story didn't pick up for me until they started talking about a school for ninjas. I first thought "OMG Hogwarts for Shinobi and Ninjas" but no, we all know it was Konoha. The spying thing was interesting so now we'll see Hashirama's dad and Tobirama in action. Cool I guess? I kinda want the flashback to end so we get back to the war. The war is almost over so please lets end it, huh?

Wasn't Tenten's Kakuzu fight a bit extended in the animé? Or was that just her 'fan' addiction?

I agree. This was mildly interesting. When they sat on the rock, I already knew that they were going to establish Konoha on that spot, but it also had me flashback to Danzou and Hiruzen for a second. The battle will probably be a stalemate.. Whatever the outcome, I think that since Hashi's father deduced that Hashirama told Madara about the trap that Hashirama is going to be buttwhipped in the next chapter...

This flashback is dragging on....

This will probably be the last post of this page, so it will probably will not be read, but anyway.. -.-

You're right, but this is one of the last things we needed to know. There's not much backstory that Kishi can go through. Only Oro's (full) backstory is left, and we kinda have a good view on that already.. Just see it as that.. It's sensible that Kishi is doing this at his own pace.

At least Naruto is being entertaining. Bleach is just being dull, predictable, and more repetitive than a broken record caught in a time loop.

BTW, we're not getting a chapter next week. Naruto's taking a small break.

This one was gonna be a doozy... likely lasting till mid April, early May

[TsukiMirage]

It was nice to see how Madara and Hashirama grew closer together, though the whole village thing seemed a little heavy-handed. Once again we see the Senju clan wasn't much better then the Uchiha clan, though I must say that Izuna and Tobirama looked awesome all decked out for battle. Nice chapter.

[Phantom champion Z]

Idk for me personaly the flashback is really cool. We get to see a different era in the shinobi world, and we can see first hand why things played out the way they did. i always wondered why hasi and madara started the leaf if their clans were such bitter rivals. I would like to see how hashi developes his wood style and why madara became who he is.

[Ciccone]

I guess it was kind of cool to see the place that would one day become Konoha. And honestly, I thought it was clever how Hashirama and Madara warned each other while skipping rocks. I just have a feeling that Madara's father will be killed by either Tobirama or his father, and that will turn Madara against Hashirama.

I can see something like that to. It's very interesting that all these big villains in the Naruto universe started off as not such bad guys. Madara, Tobi, Nagato, and I'm sure we'll get some stuff on Orochimaru as well...when he's about to fight or die.

[Shneak]

- I think it's suitable that Madara's giving hairstyling advice.
- Hashirama: the Rock Lee of early Shinobi
- Kishi is self-aware.
- It is an eye pun.
- Ah, so that mountain is the Hokage Monument.
- EVERY Uchiha is a prodigy then.
- Izuna and Tobirama know each other?
- Of course there's going to be a break when the flashbacks get to a fight.

It's interesting how Kishi is trying to make Butsuma unlikable and for us to side with Madara, especially with his current situation. He must want us to have sympathy for him. I wonder if Hashirama and Madara will end up talking it out when they inevitably meet, or if they'll go against their early ideals and fight each other.

[TrueSerperior]

I'm enjoying the flashback so far. Probably because I love most of Naruto's flashbacks. It may be out of place, but i'd rather get it over with now before the big finale of the current battle going on with the Juubi. Now that I think about it, we've been off and on from Naruto vs Tobi since like 2011 so i'm sure Kishimoto has been planning an ending for it that won't disappoint.

Yeah I mean if you look at it one way, the whole shinobi system is what created a lot of the villains. Like, Madara and his brother lived in a time where even kids were soldiers and they suffered a lot, and Nagato suffered because of shinobi wars in the Land of Rain, and apparently Orochimaru's parents were killed in a war as well.
