Sakura’s Confession

So, this chapter’s not about the Raikage’s brother fight yet. Rather, Naruto’s friends have arrived and Sakura is going to say the so important thing to release Naruto. Basically, she confesses her love for him but, right now, it doesn’t really make much sense and Naruto see’s it too. Not sure why Sakura needed to lie about that to get him to break his promise. Still, Naruto acts really cool. Sakura is looking bad right now.

Meanwhile Danzou, Fuu and Torune continue escaping. Ao is still following them. They manage to get him with a strange and really bad jutsu. They now have his body and removing eyes won’t probably do him any good. At least he won’t have to suffer through it. I hope he got something up his sleeve.

Still at the meeting, the alliance is finally formed, not including Konoha for now, and the Kazekage is selected as the leader.

Nice chapter, I liked hearing Naruto say that.

Hachibi & Kyuubi

The Kages finally agree, and with what happened with Danzo, the chances of him being overthrown are high. Still, I think Danzo will still give much to talk about. Anyway, they form an alliance and decide to protect the Kyuubi and Hachibi, being the last pieces Madara needs.

Meanwhile, we get new intel on Kisame, it seems he’s way stronger than he already showed us. He also finds Killerbee, a epic fight is coming.

So, it seems Kakashi is on his way to being an Hokage. Naruto and Sakura are finally going to talk. Can’t wait for more developments. Too bad there’s no chapter next week. I’m also interested in what Danzo is doing right now.

Declaration Of War

In Konoha, everyone gets ready, it will be a tough mission, specially for Kiba right now. Back in the snowy country, Naruto finally understands what’s going on with Sasuke. I’m not even sure he still wants to talk him out of "it" anymore. Still, he need to meet him.

Meanwhile, Madara sends Sasuke and Karin away with his jutsu and talks to the Kages. And yes, he wants to tell another "lengthy" tale but, it ends up being not so lengthy. Anyway, he explains he’s true ultimate plan. I don’t think that, at this point, there are any more mysteries. Everything is known and now, things just need to play out.

Very basically, Madara, with the Rinnegan, has managed to read the complete stone from the Rikudou Senin that lies beneath the Uchiha’s hideout, in Konoha. There he found that long ago, when the Rikudou existed, a monster existed too. The Juubi, it had 10 tails and represents the power of all the 9 bijuus together. It would seem like he could just destroy the entire earth if he wanted to. Anyway, the Rikudou developed the first bijuu sealing jutsu, the one still used now to create Jinchurukis and used it to seal the Juubi inside of him.

No other person could have been it’s Jinchuruki, because of the beast being so powerful. It would also be able to escape if the Rikudou Senin died so, before dying, he used his last energies to separate the beast into 9 fragments, the current 9 tailed beasts, much less powerful and scatered them across the earth. Then, the beasts main body was blasted to the sky, I think, creating the moon.

Madara, even though extremely powerful and probably the strongest shinobi around right now, has a problem. Not sure what but,  he’s just a "shell", maybe he can’t really have a true physical appearance or something, anyway, he wants to recreate the Jiguu and seal it inside himself. With this new power, he would be able to become much stronger, much like the Rikudou was. He then wants to use Tsukiomi to it’s full potential by reflecting his eyes on the moon and controling the whole world. That way, no more war will exist.

So, well so far, we’ve learned that almost every character around has lots of past trauma and they basically all want for the world to be united. Nagato wanted it by destroying the whole world from time to time, now Madara just wants to control everyone.. No plan seems better than the other lol Naruto will have to be the one to unite the world and end wars.

Anyway, not sure of what will happen right now but, I’m looking forward to this new War arc. Even though I’m not sure how you wage war using bijuu’s.. putting them alone against shinobi? They aren’t really that powerful.. taking aside the Kyuubi, I mean, many bijuus were taken care of single handily by one shinobi at times..

Battle Behind Closed Doors

Sasuke is attacked by both the Mizukage and her bodyguard at the same time. The attack is strong and he’s already really weakened from fighting the Raikage. More, using Susanoo for such a long time is causing him immense suffering.

He’s saved by Zetsu who finally shows he’s alive. He steals chakra from everyone and uses it to replenish Sasuke and probably himself, not sure. Anyway, with the extra boost, Sasuke is able to get past the Mizukage and come back to the previous room. Bu there, Tsuchikage attacks him too with some weird powerful jutsu. Sasuke’s chakras disappear. But, he’s been saved again, even though he’s unconscious.

Madara is there, carrying him and he states he wants to tell them about his Moon’s Eyes plan.

What does this mean? Is he like, super confident on his plan, so that he can tell it to his enemies without fearing it? Or is it that his plan may somehow include the kages and maybe is seeking their help? lol it sounds weird but, the fact that he is there telling them..

Anyway, I really liked that he came to save Sasuke. It kind of looked to me like family lol. I mean, not like he was just using Sasuke but, really trying to save his only clan member.

Really liked the chapter, I’m really intrigued with what Madara is going to say. Can’t wait.

Attack On The Meeting Place

Sasuke uses Susanoo and destroys the whole place. Everyone prepares to go after him while Juugo and Suigetsu recover.

Sasuke has taken Karin and gone after the Hokage. He quickly appears in the meeting place. Danzou gets away and the byakugan user goes after him. Sasuke isn’t so lucky, he’s first attacked by Mifune and then by the Mizukage.

After seeing him, she gets a crush on him lol Anyway, she’ll exact her revenge against Akatsuki. So, Sasuke faces another Kage. Can’t wait to see her abilities and her guard’s.

Cool chapter. Sasuke, right now, looks like a really cold, empty shell, with one only objective of killing Danzou. But, he’s looking cool and unstoppable. Still, even Karin is starting to dislike his attitude. I really liked the Mizukage and her sexy/evil attitude towards Sasuke.

I hope the byakugan user isn’t killed by Danzou and his Root shinobi.

The Power Of Darkness

Is Sasuke really going down? The "power of darkness" title sugests not. But, it’s not Sasuke’s own darkness that saves him just yet, surprisingly, it’s Gaara. He manages to stop the Raikage from covering his whole body in Amaterasu’s flames.

He then tries to talk to Sasuke but, just a little, they already know there’s no talking him back at this point.. although.. Nagato could have been in a worse position and still made it back. Anyway, Nagato was defeated, Sasuke isn’t. They all attack him and he fully awakens Susanoo. His defense is, right now, truly absolute.

Gaara was really cool. Even though his speech was kind of repetitive, considering Naruto’s storyline, it was short and two the point. The tear he shed before attacking really meant something. After all he’s been through with Naruto, it must be really hard for him to be the one killing Sasuke. I would think Sasuke’s only chance lies with Naruto and Konoha.. I mean, at least the chance to get away from this people. We already now that Konoha is not coming to save him. They will just be taking care of their own problem, their own way.

By the way, is Raikage’s arm being "re-grown"? That would be an amazing healing jutsu. I know they only talked about stoping the bleeding but.. the Raikage can’t be so calm when he supposdly lost an arm for life.

Sasuke Vs Raikage

It’s on! Sasuke and the Raikage to at it. Sasuke dodges the Raikage attack and pierces him, a little, with his chidori. I guess the Raikage didn’t even try to dodge, he would think it to be able to cause him any harm. He then grabs Sasuke and does a killer move. Sasuke is forced to use the mangekyou to survive.

Meanwhile, Darui has won against Suigetsu for now. It seems water is week against lightning and he’s having problems using his abilities.

Anyway, Sasuke turns Susanoo on and his eyes start suffering a lot right from the beginning. He then uses Amaterasu to attack and defend. He almost looks like a bijuu. Raikage too has increased his chakra to the maximum, bijuu level for what we are told. He must have tons of chakra, like Naruto but, more lol.

But then, out of nowhere, the Raikage blasts Sasuke really hard, while yelling "don’t fuck with the Raikage bitch!". lool it was awesome. I’m not sure the Raikage pretends to give up his arm.. anyway, he must have used a really powerful attack. Not sure Sasuke will be alright.

Meanwhile, Naruto, Kakashi and Yamato try to understand Madara’s goals. It seems he just wants the Uchiha to be known but, then why the bijuu? He says he wants a perfect body.. Not sure, maybe he wants all the bijuu inside of him or something.. Too soon to try and understand it, I think.

^{Sasuke is becoming everybody’s bitch lately.}

Really nice chapter, although felt short, can’t wait for the battle to go on.

Sasuke’s Dogma

I though revelations time was over, wasn’t expecting this. So, the Senju and Uchiha clan are direct descendants from the so called Sage of the Six Paths. His two sons. They both created their own clans and were constantly in war. Trying to decide who would inherit their fathers will. Basically, the chain of hatred started as soon as the shinobi world started.

The first Hokage and Madara were already fated to meet in battle, has the two strongest descendants at their time. Anyway, things calmed a little and a union was formed like we already know and it all fell to crap again when they decided to wipe-out the Uchiha.

Still, the Uchiha were also plotting against Konoha so.. the meaning is that it’s just a circle of hatred that’s been going on from the start. No one can be directly blamed for any of it. But, Naruto and Sasuke can stop it. They don’t have to follow the first Hokage and Madara, they can truly unite. After that, they would have time to deal with the rest of the world.

Also, side note, Pain was just a mutation, probably much like the Byakugan mutated from the sharingan. Still, that was one hell of a doujutsu, although it didn’t get a chance to be passed along like the sharingan and byakugan. This basically means there could be more doujutsu all over the world, and more could still appear.

Anyway, on topic again. Naruto is now probably fired up. He now knows what’s going on and what he has to do.

Meanwhile, the battle continues and it’s awesome. I loved Juugo, the obvious fact that he wasn’t dead just yet, the Raikage (really frightening) and Sasuke taking out C and going ONE on ONE with the beast. Too bad C didn’t have more chances, seemed like an interesting and very intelligent shinobi. Suigetsu managed to be the least impressing but, I think we can expect a decent fight from with Darui. He hasn’t had that much time for a full fledged fight, we’ve only learned he can get much stronger and do some water tricks. I hope he has some air time in the next chapter.

As for Sasuke versus Raikage, I’m really interested to see how Sasuke will take him. It seems the Raikage has taken his physical type jutsu to such an awesome level that it even protects him from the sharingan.. Can chidori compete with that? Still, I think the mangekyou will be a little too much. And it’s not like the others know about the mangekyou, so when they say "the sharingan has no effect" they are probably not taking the mangekyou into consideration.

The art was awesome too but, that’s the case everytime :)

Concluding, another awesome chapter, both in action and in story. Naruto has really turned epic in this latest arcs. I’m loving this manga.
