Uchiha Madara, Ch.560

Alterno · Oct 20, 2011

Overview
Finally we got to see the most powerful Uchiha known in action, and Kishimoto delivered a chapter of epic proportions for all the fans, while at the same type the expectancy to see what Kabuto can do with everything he learned raises to new levels, this is my first review in several months since I started a new career, a new life, under God and Jesus's path, God Bless and hope you enjoy this review.

Gaara, The Kazekage

Since Gaara lost Ichibi it seems that he have been improving greatly in terms of skills and intellect, while he conserves a huge amount of chakra as a former Jinchuuriki. He is not wasting any experience and due his previous fight against a Sasuke, he managed to come with a strategy to defeat and the unbreakable defense of Susanoo, and we are talking about Madara's Susanoo, the shinobi who is known for having a extraordinary chakra among his clansmen.

But no only that, he previously was using his sand to shield and and save Naruto's clone from Susanoo's rampage.

Naruto's improvements
Is really nice to see Naruto being able to to use Chou Oodaman Ransengan without going into sage mode, it pretty much talks about how much the Kyuubi's chakra can improve his performance, even outside "saiyan-like" form.

Kabuto

Well I have high expectations for Kabuto, honestly I'm strong believer of the quote "knowledge is power" and Kabuto seems to know a lot and it seems that sometimes he knows even more that Tobi, so I'm truly hope he survives this war and becomes an even bigger threat for the shinobi World in the future.

He have skills, power, knowledge, very dark techniques and a very sick way to see the world and overall you don't really know what's going on his mind, not even Orochimaru knew who probably was the closest person to him, neither Tobi knows, that's why he asked Zetsu to put some white's spores on him.

Kabuto's not only knows the secrets of Senju Hashirama's body, but also knows the secrets of Uchiha Madara, if you put together everything we know about his experiments, it all makes senses now, the experiments on Yamato and other shinobi with Hashirama's cell, the desire of obtaining the Sharingan etc.

There's a lot in Kabuto right now like:

White Snake transformation
Summonings: Manda 2.0, Edo Tensei
That "jutsu"
His personality
His knowledge on Madara's and Hashirama

I just can't wait to see Kabuto directly in action and I hope Kishimoto works it accordingly to what Kabuto knows, he should be able to counter all his summons, I'm hoping to see a Kabuto vs Itachi fight, that would of epic proportions and honestly I would like to see Sishui Uchiha as one of his pawns.

Uchiha Madara

Well I'm really interested in knowing what's going on with Uchiha Madara and how he died, everyone thinks that he died in the valley of the end, it would means that there was in fact a corpse, but somehow this Madara knows Nagato and somehow he looks as young as he was when he fought Senju Hashirama.

So we don't know if he died shortly after his fight against Hashirama, or if he dies much later just in time to meet with Nagato, which would be the case. Which raise some questions. Madara seems to have the Arrogant™ attitude which is indeed a trademark of the Uchihas.

Now Madara's power exceed my expectancy, but also blows out my mind thinking about how powerful truly was Senju Hashirama, a man who fought EMS Madara + the Kyuubi (full Kyuubi) in the battlefield, so I would in fact like to see a version of the manga based on those characters of the past that now we see.

Well Madara's seems to be confident enough to take on an whole squad of shinobi, and his powers seems to be above what what we have seen so far, maybe it would equally or as stronger than Nagato when he was healthy.

His Susanoo looks really like something that devil itself would have, but he seems to be disgusted with Edo Tensei, while Tobi was eager to learn Edo Tensei. So there's a bit more to know about Tobi and who he is, I won't dismiss any theory because right know he could be anyone.

The Rinnengan

Way before we started to complain about the Sharingan and about how everything was about the Sharingan this and the Sharinga there, now is about the same but the name is different "Rinnengan", there's a lot of new things that need to be covered and Kishimoto seems to be quite good creating new content for us too look forward to, but to be honest I would like to see more from the Byakuugan, is kinda boring to see all the things over and over.

I would love if the next chapter take us to a different location and then in a few chapters later we get to see Gaara's squad retreating due Madara's powers. We got to see a new Jutsus a giant rock falling from above, it seems to be more related with Izanagi's power (turning an illusion into a reality).

Open Questions

How do you think Madara and Nagato met?
Do you think that Madara died older and Kabuto restored him to his prime?
Which is the relationship between Tobi and Madara?
Do you think Edo Madara will be defeated quickly or we'll have more of EDM for long?
Who will be the one to defeat Kabuto?
