[Devil_Beast1109]

I nominate the Jinchuuriki team double-spread. Reason? Its was jut too damn awesome. It was part of chapter 567.

[Gats]

I nominate the Shodaime vs Madara+Kyuubi double spread fight.

[Gotenkss]

I support the Shodaime vs Madara+Kyuubi double spread fight.

[THM Nindo]

Shodai vs Madara is the best, for sure.

[3c]

Reminder: No posting of pages from the current chapter before 24 hours have passed. Thanks.

[johnny182]

Hmm... quite difficult, but I'd say Shodai Hokage vs Madara & Kyuubi as well. Was a lot of work, for sure.

Gaara's resurrection:

I think Naruto's return to Konoha (http://4.p.s.mfcdn.net/store/manga/8/46-430.0/compressed/naruto_430_sleepyfans.02_03.jpg) tops everything...colored double-spread with Naruto in a cool outfit with several bosses...epic shiz

[Sevenheadedmirror]

Shodai vs Madara

[ninjabot]

Yup. Shodaime vs. Madara for me aswell.

[3c]

Itachi - The God of the Sun (http://www.mangareader.net/93-364-13/naruto/chapter-359.html). Itachi looks like the Amaterasu here (male version). "The God of the Sun" is a reference to Amaterasu, the Japanese goddess of the sun, as the sun is shining behind Itachi, making his appearance seem godly and divine.

[Uchiha_Blood]

Itachi - The God of the Sun (http://www.mangareader.net/93-364-13/naruto/chapter-359.html). Itachi looks like the Amaterasu here (male version). "The God of the Sun" is a reference to Amaterasu, the Japanese goddess of the sun, as the sun is shining behind Itachi, making his appearance seem godly and divine.

I was gonna vote for Shodai vs Madara, but then I remembered this particular piece, and I can't help to agree with Deidara with his idea:
that was true art

[syx]

Uchiha Itachi - Chapter 359 - Page 13 (http://www.mangareader.net/93-364-13/naruto/chapter-359.html)

Kishi states himself: "This... is true art..."

Well, yeah, thanks for reminding this. I support it as well.

[M3J]

I nominate the color page of Namikaze family together. Naruto with toast in his mouth running out of the window to train while Kushina yells at him to come back. Minato's snickering.

Portrayed the family probably pretty accurately, and it gave me more insight into Minato's character.

[PuPs]

Although Shodaime Vs Madara+Kyuubi is the best, my personal favourite is the chapter 410 double cover page, Masters and Bonds (http://i632.photobucket.com/albums/uu50/setiawan149/Album%20Photo%20ku/03-04.jpg).

[julian ross]

the double spread with the the glance of the fight between Hashirama and Madara with the kyubii. Beauty and impact at the same time

[mattiaildivino]

Madara Uchiha and Kurama VS the 1st hokage Hashirama Senju http://www.mangareader.net/93-404-12/naruto/chapter-399.html

Shodai and Madara's epic battle

[Googlez_kun]

One of my favourite action spreads in manga history from chapter 387:

[Rarhyx]

[danzouismadara]

MAsters and bonds

[Rikudou King]

Gotta go with Shodai vs Madara. That piece made their fight seem like it was epic.

[gcd]

Shodai Vs Madara

[GetToSomeSleep]

I nominate the Zetsu cover thats one of the page I remember the most...

[David Gill]

Naruto's return to konoha! This place went crazy when that happened!

And LOL at Gaara's revival

[chilibun]

Shodai vs. Madara.

[stephen80]

Kyuubi (http://www.mangareader.net/93-55203-10/naruto/chapter-501.html) released from Kushina's body.

[HaiSuShi]

Itachi - The God of the Sun (http://www.mangareader.net/93-364-13/naruto/chapter-359.html). Itachi looks like the Amaterasu here (male version). "The God of the Sun" is a reference to Amaterasu, the Japanese goddess of the sun, as the sun is shining behind Itachi, making his appearance seem godly and divine.

I support this, too.

[matzik1212]

Hmm i think Naruto's return was the best . That piece of work is worth praising IMO and it looks badass.
There on top of the toads Naruto is the King! :smile-big

[Cyberlink35]

Shodai vs Madara for sure
