I suppose this is possible. It still isn't all that solid though.

@Marshall313: Nope. Because in this chapter Hashirama says that his awaking it meant that he had decided that his friend was...

I'd just like to say: I called it. I suggested it would be Tobirama who killed Izuna, and apparently I was right.

Anyway, Kishi already made another plot goof. Madara had almost told Hashirama...

The flashbacks are an opportunity to ret-con things Tobi said about history / Madara's past. It isn't about it telling us things we don't already know, its about Kishi wanting to change facts by...

Given Hashirama said Madara loved his brother even more than Itachi loved Sasuke, I find it highly likely that Izuma fell in battle against the Senju and Madara took his eyes after he died like...

You don't think that old man is Bookman from 35 years ago do ya?

But isn't Obito somebody that both Kakashi and Gai would have known from childhood? What other Uchiha was mangled to that degree, and had eye powers that (given Kakashi's powers) effect space/time? ...

"You don't remember faces, so what point is there in telling you?"

Its Obito. It is so dreadfully obvious where he's going with this... It is Obito.

Isn't it obvious that the person Sasuke needs to talk to is his father? Orochimaru can use edo tensei... Maybe I arrived at the wrong conclusion but it seemed obvious at the time I read it.

Anybody know where I can find a Scanlation? All the usual suspects seem to be a chapter behind.

Ironically your description sounds exactly like Sasuke's abilities.

Well, I'll be damned..

Can you dig up a panel where Tobi was wearing a scarf? I don't recall seeing that. Now that you mention it, Tobi's right eye is ALWAYS a sharingan... just like kakashi's... that would indicate a...

I really think Tobi is Obito. I think you are all going to be epic trolled when this is finally revealed. The entire right side of his body is zetsu goo. Surely madara found him before dying and...

You don't suppose this is him pulling the moon out of the sky to retrieve the body of the Jyuubi do you? I say that because you don't see any kind of rock or earth that was torn up where this huge...

I think it is clear that Itachi is going to try to get Kabuto to release it via genjutsu. It was said before that the only ways to defeate ET were to put the person using it in a genjutsu and get...

How could you guys NOT think it is Shisui Uchiha? Seriously? After seeing what his Mangekyou Sharingan was able to do to Itachi, etc... Shisui was a total badass. Madara covetted his eyes......

I think that was translation related. "You should be able to see that person's form now."

Does that read better for you?

What are you basing that on? I don't get it. How would Kabuto's control over Itachi effect his control over the technique itself? It stands to reason he could still just un-summon him.

The easiest way to get rid of an Edo Tensei is for the ET user to release the Jutsu on them. If I were Kabuto, and Itachi broke loose from the ET, I would almost immediately cancel the jutsu and...

How do we know SS law hasn't been changed in the aftermath of the Aizen debacle? I mean, the entire council was slaughtered and had to be replaced, right?

Itachi has shown to be almost as powerful and twice the strategist though. There is no character that has displayed the level of strategy Itachi has in this manga. Not even shikamaru, and I'd argue...

awwwwwwww shit.

I hope we find out what that power is that Itachi gave Naruto. I also hope nagato somehow knows an uzumaki sealing technique or two and is able to explain it to naruto... or...

Nonsense... He knows he's strong enough that he has the best chance of survival against all of these monsters... And he's not willing to accept that they're better off with him being hidden.

He...

xXan, we know it was his plan to just re-take the kyuubi back then because he stated it plainly. He said he had been waiting that whole time to grab kyuubi... and he was going to take it while...

That sure turned out to be all talk. Naruto has one thing minato didn't... Massive, corrosive chakras. If Naruto would "hulk out" on him back then, there's a good chance he'd be able to rock him...

Madara knew EXACTLY where the kyuubi was sealed. He was present during Naruto's birth. He held him in his own hands... He saw it happen... and I'm betting even zetsu saw Minato whoop his ass.
...

Are you guys missing what you saw from his fight with Konan and Minato? Madara has to get melee-close to naruto and MATERIALIZE in order to suck him into that warp zone. Naruto is one dangerous...

How about the firey red hair of the uzumaki clan that madara commented about when standing over nagato's corpse before taking his rinnegan? That would be a blood trait of a clain who (like the...

Gara's father tried to kill him because he was uncontrollable and unpredictable and insane, and therefore a threat to the village and its people. Seeing that he was wrong and that his son could be...

All in all, i wonder if it ever was Shukaku's ability in the first place...

Lets not forget that since Kankouro owns sasori as a puppet, he knows all the secrets of his body... and most likely the ET corpses cannot summon anything, so even summoning his league of puppets...

Danzou killed himself using a sealing jutsu... he MIGHT not be able to be summoned. Depends on if his soul was sealed or not I guess.

Actually, the fact is the body (at least the whole body) is not needed for it. How do I know? Easy: Kabuto ET'd Deidara, who blew himself to fucking pieces. You could still argue that you need a...

Anybody else interested in the prospect of seeing Itachi-tensei meeting face to face with sasuke and having some sort of "come to jesus" talk via genjutsu (where nobody can witness the exchange...

I really think what he meant is that he enabled nagato to awaken them somehow by merging the bloodlines of uzumaki and uchiha into Nagato (who was an uzumaki).

Who's to say they don't store the chakra of the people sacrificed? Who's to say after their master is destroyed they don't become vulnerable? There are plenty of ways to "write around" the holes......

Anybody else think that maybe he is going after Naruto because he's already sent Sasuke after bee? Like, EMS sasuke, not talking about the first attempt...

Send sasuke in to capture bee, and...

You SERIOUSLY think with all the shit Madara does know, that this is something that he missed? Not a chance.

No, kyuubi was ALWAYS half size. Madara knew that, he was there when it happened. Kyuubi should still have to be sealed last. Maybe he just intends to rip it out of Naruto and tame it / use it in...

Nah, kishi left himself an out. Maybe the will / personality of the tailed beast can now be extracted separate of the chakras... The entire kyuubi isn't in naruto anyway, only half of it... so the...

Is it so far fetched to think that one from one branch of Rikkudo's descendants just needs a descendant from the other branch's blood to create the rinnegan?

I mean think about it. How else would...

With Sasuke and Naruto, he has one of the strongest Uchiha Descendants ever, and one of the strongest Senju descendants ever... So he might be looking to use them both to create another rikudo or...

Holy shit. Ichigo is about to wreck somebody. Do we have a name for Ichigo's latest form? Zangetsuigo?

It seems to me that he can't use his phase-out ability at the same time that he uses his vaccum eye ability... which makes him vulnerable when he's actually sucking somebody up.

Though granting madara the Rinnegan here, and killing off Konan, gives madara the chance to take over Amegakure for himself and use them as part of his army....

You all don't think he's going to...

It probably had more to do with the fact that Itachi wouldn't be able to reveal his true intentions to Kisame... and wouldn't be able to recruit Kisame to his cause. That's the only type of person...

I don't recall seeing madara's hood down in that chapter where he fought yondaime... With the hood up the whole time, eh coudl have had short or long hair.

FUCK YES.

Facepalm! Ichigo punked his cocky ass. That was a great nod to the Ichigo fans.

I hope he utterly crushes him.

Didn't somebody else have that arm chain with their sword? ...

He has to be looking AT it the moment the shikai activates. Doesn't matter if he see's the shikai.... he has to be looking at the blade when the shikai activates. Grabbing the blade of KS negates...

I don't think he'll use the 8th gate here. If he does, I'm sure he'll die... but I always thought he'd open the 8th gate and die in Lee's presence.
