Don't forget the anime adaptation of the Rock Lee manga! Both are so good that I can forget that the main series has become a steaming pile of overpowered eye crap...

New chapter's out!

 

Kabutos fight is finally over, and we're back to the Kage's vs. Madara; and Madara just keeps upping the ante. I don't know what will happen next, but I can't see the Kages beating Madaras awesomeness now. Maybe Itachi will save them at the last second by ending Edo Tensei.

Yeah someone's tragically gonna die right before Madara is de-Tensei'd. Or if not, who cares. Nothing's gonna surprise me anymore, this manga is out of steam. And man, really bad decision having Sasuke meet his brother, totally destroys our willing suspension of disbelief that Sasuke could want to take revenge for Itachi's sake.

I really don't think Sasuke is even necessary anymore. I mean what's he really been doing for the past 100 chapters or so besides dicking around in a pissed off mood? He's never really been on anyone's side but his own and now that everyone else has a clearly defined side what's he really going to do? There's no way he's as strong as Madara, he doesn't have the resources (allies, pawns, bijuu, etc.) that Tobi has, and it seems he's still getting showed up by his long dead brother, so he can't be a main player in this war anymore. He's an army of one that lacks comparable armaments, so what use is he?

Yeah, that's gonna ####. I notice we didn't see Madara falling apart though. Itachi really came through with aanother big win for Konoha at the his own cost, and Sasuke once again learned nothing in the process.

At this point Sasuke is the dumbest character with the most illogical motivation int he manga.

 

>They used you so they must pay!

>Everything he did was out of his own free will. Including massacring the Uchihas

>Somehow only the Village is responsible.

 

Even now his brother is sacrificing everything for the village and  was perfectly fine with brainwashing his brother using a crow into protecting the village for the rest of his life yet Sasuke still blames the village for it. How are you this stupid Sasuke!

yeah he's totally whoring the first dna which is like life power, he'll use that to counteract the death or use some eye jutsu, he's double hax.

Also, seeing Lee humiliate sasuke with pure Taijutsu. Those were the days...

That only happened once.

 

And since then Sasuke has been superior to Lee in Taijutsu.

 

Just pointing this out.

It has nothing to do with the Sharingan, it has to do with everybody misremembering Lee as actually being good at something.

 

He #### at Taijutsu too.

 

He just kept at it to become competent.

 

And Sasuke was a genius in all areas so he surpassed Lee's ability in Taijutsu by the time he fought Gaara.

 

All that had nothing to do with the Sharingan.

 

Well, except Sasuke copying some of Lee's moves.

 

But that didn't increase his physical attributes.

Genesis does.

i guess we can't figure out sasuke until we see him fight a bit more, he didn't really reveal anything new in kabuto fight did he?

Not that I can remember.

 

Kishi is probably saving it for when he fights Naruto.

 

Or when he kills everybody.

 

If Kishi saves it for the Naruto fight, then Sasuke will probably win with an unrevealed trump card.

 

If Kishi has Sasuke waste it killing Konoha then Naruto will win the final battle.

Well, it has nothing to do with what Sasuke plans.

 

Those are just the only two logical conclusions I've been able to draw from the plot progression so far.

 

I think my analysis of the plot is sufficient enough for me to be certain that one of those two possibilities will happen.

New chapter's out. Well... now they're all fuuuuuudgeed. That's my reaction from the end of this chapter. Just when you thought Madara couldn't be a worse nightmare for the shinobi alliance, he becomes a "living" god. Yeah, they're totally fuuuuuudgeed.

It's gonna take Naruto and Sasuke to defeat Madara. It's gotta be the only way he gets taken down at this point.

 

But before that happens, the five Kage better die here. There should be no way that they survive this fight. He was just kicking their #### up and down that mountain before Kabuto was forced to release the Edo Tensei jutsu.

madara did kill 20k with an asteroid.  And now madara is more hax than aizen, a worthy accomplishment.
