Naruto 600, Madara enters the fray

Chapter in 10 seconds:

Kakashi: Are you really Obito?

Obito: That name means nothing to me anymore!

Madara: Hey Obito, sup?

Obito: Goddamnit.

I should do that for each chapter.  Sorry this is late.  I'm a senior and all this schoolwork and SAT Prep keep me from posting quickly.  This chapter was half a flashback but the rest was interesting.  We found out that Tobi really is Obito, before it was a 95% chance and now it is more like 99%.  Anything can happen, but at this point it would be almost impossible for him to be someone else.  

Next Obito is reluctant to talk, but did reveal in that awesome drawing that Rin dying was the reason Obito turned evil.  This seems a little weak to me but oh well.  This is positive naruto reviews, I'll stick to the best parts.  So Obito uses a crazy fire style jutsu powered up by the Mankekyou.  I cant spell that.  SInce his mask is gone, that is why he suddenly is using fire style.  Naruto blocks it with the nine-tails (he seems impervious to fire style every time.)  

Then the kicker.  What made the chapter.  The big one.  Madara joins Obito on the field.  Naruto is screwed.  Madara knew Obito too.  I think when Tobi was upset about Pain dying for Naruto, it was because he wanted to use his rinnegan to revive Madara.  They know each other and that is bad for Naruto and pals.  See you later!

Obito and Tobi, putting it all back together.

Hello all!  I've been digging through my old Naruto books and found some interesting things.  For instance, there is a way to prove that Tobi is Obito which I never noticed before.

Chapter 397- Right after Sasuke kills Itachi

Here you see more of Obito's face than any other panel.  See his face lines? There are 4 which are positioned in such a way that they cannot be wrinkles.  Even Chiyo and her husband didn't have wrinkles like that.  These marks are the result of Obito's face being crushed by the giant rock when he saved Kakashi.

To support this theory we have this:

Chapter 510- Right before Obito kills Konan

As you can see, Kishi went to great lengths to ensure that you could never see the left side of Obito's face.  This is because Obito's left side was not crushed by the rock, and is youthful like Kakashi's.  That is also why Obito had bandages on his forehead, to hide the fact that is face is different on both sides. Put them together and you get this: 

Obito now

Last, Obito seemed not to care about sacrificing his left eye for izanagi against Konan.  This implies that the sharingan he sacrificed was not actually his, since he basically threw it away.  When he fought Danzou's guards, his right arm was infected and Obito just removed his own arm like it was nothing.  He lost the same limb while fighting Konan too.  Since that is the side that was crushed by the rock, it is probably just an augmentation that isn't really part of Obito's body.  Obito could have escaped from the rocks, been resurrected, or found by someone else.  Then he would have augmented himself on his right side since his limbs probably were beyond repair.

Lastly, my biggest problem with the Obito theory was that Obito had no motive.  But then I re-read this:

Chapter 241- Right after Rin is kidnapped

After Obito taught Kakashi about the rule breaking and scum thing he said, "If I'm scum... the rules are no good to me and if breaking them makes me the wrong kind of shinobi... I'll crush all the so-called shinobi."  This speaks for itself.  It is the only time I have seen Obito acting like Tobi until (Pre-Shippuden).  That's all I have to say and I hope it cleared some things up about Obito.

Naruto 599, Tobi is confirmed to be Obito!!!

The latest chapter (599) says that Tobi is in fact Obito.  When we see his face it shows that the right side of his face (on our left) is lined in a strange manner that doesn't look like just old age. his left side is youthful at least making him look Kakashi's age.  I think this means either he is suffering the effects of time travel or has had an augmentation on his right side.  The augmentation could be infusing zetsu into himself or overuse of the  other dimension jutsu that is his trademark.  That would explain why he was bleeding white stuff when his arm got chopped off.  If time travel is involved, it would explain how he was with Itachi to finish off the Uchiha and fighting Minato over the nine-tails.

But their are still plot holes.  How is any of this possible. Can his other dimension jutsu transport him through time as well as space?  Why is Obito's Mankekeyo Sharingan so different from the traditional Tsukuomi, Amaterasu, Susano'o Sharingan?  And the largest one of all, what could possibly be his motivation?  We saw in the chapter a silent flashback of his "short" life.  He was doing great and living a normal life until he got crushed by that boulder.

I don't know.  Just like every chapter, we will have to wait and see.  Hopefully it all fits and Naruto can still kick the crap out of him.  See you later!

Naruto episode... I forgot

I don't remember the name or number of the episode but it had something to do with Naruto and Bee escaping the turtle island.  I like how they showed Bee and Naruto breaking the barriers to escape the island.    I think it was done much better than it was in the Manga.  The animations of the eight tails and controlled kyubi mode were very good too.  Once again, these anime reviews are much shorter and a week behind pirate sites because I just don't care enough about the anime to support pirates.  Not that I don't enjoy it, but I already know 90% of what happens in the anime anyway.  Somehow I want filler episodes to come back, many of them were great.

Naruto 598, Shattering the Mask

Finally, Tobi's mask is shattered and I can finally say that some took a rasengan to the face!  This was a great chapter and this fight has been of epic proportions so far.  First naruto used his chakra hand thing to smash Tobi who slipped through.  Then Tobi throws three giant shiruken at naruto.  Bee catches two and the third slices a tentacle.  Naruto uses Kurama's mouth to catch the third.  Then Kakashi thinks that Tobi is Obito and gets all sad (please tell me he really isn't!).  Guy inspires Kakashi to fight, even though Kakashi is at his limit.  My favorite page is the one with Kakashi's and Tobi's faces next to each other and both are using Kamui at the same time.  This is the first look at Tobi's MS which is exactly the same as Kakashi's.  So we know for a fact that that is Obito's eye.  Since Tobi called Kakashi's an imitation, I think that means he really is Obito (Noooooo!!!).

Naruto's rasengan failed to be sucked in by Kakashi's Kamui so Tobi tries to hit Naruto.  He appears to be a clone since he vanished.  The real Naruto uses another giant Biju Dama to attack Tobi, who has to send his entire body to the other dimension.  Once inside he sees the Naruto clone with the rasengan.  Turns out the clone from before was not hit by Tobi's attack, but was sent to the other dimension by Kamui.  Now that both are inside, Naruto delivers a full rasengan to the face, shattering Toni's mask.

Behold the dirty deed is done.  I've waited so long for this.  Hopefully Tobi is down and out after this and we get an explanation as to who he is and why he is doing this.  I can't wait for next week!

Delay

I'm sorry for not posting in a while I havn't had internet in a long time. In fact I had to get a new router too.  When the next chapter comes out on wednesday (or hopefully tuesday night) I will definetaly cover it.  The Naruto/Tobi fight has been amazing so far.  I know kakashi's MS and Tobi's jutsu seem the same and some would say that means Tobi has to be Obito.  But when you look at tobi's eyes compared to Obito's they are different.  Tobi's are slender and thin while Obito's are more square and big.  Although aging can cause this same effect...  mmm.

Naruto 269

You know whats better than a 69? 269!  Bad joke aside, that was a cool episode.  I don't remember the girl's name, but she was lookin good.  Besides that, Ginkaku and Kinkaku look much better in the anime.  They were cool.  The anime also made Ginkaku's jinchuriki transformation really cool.

OMG Sasuke is going back to the Valley of the End!!!

I just figured it out!  He's going back to the Valley of the End where Naruto and Sasuke had their final battle!  But it's also going to be back in time to when Harishima and Madara fought!  Maybe they all fight in one giant battle Royal!  Holy crap I think that's it!!!!  Then we could see the Madara vs. Harishima fight!! That would be awesome!!!!!

Naruto 593, Orochimaru Revived

Oh man what a chapter.  Sasuke uses Orochimaru's chakra from Kabuto and the reverse seal to unleash Orochimaru from Anko.  Wow, how could I have missed that.  It seems so obvious that Orochimaru's chakra was in Anko the whole time.  And since this Orochimaru is independent from the real one, the fact that Orochimaru was sealed makes no difference.

Then they talk and Sasuke still wants to kill everyone in the leaf village.  But he wants to know what the hell is going on. He is so internally confused right now that he needs to talk to people.  I can only guess 4 places he is going to with Orochimaru (and suitesu and juggo too?) 

1.  The most "realistic" but least likely is to the Tobi/Naruto fight.  The ten tails revival would be very important to get involved with and tobi may be the one with all the answers.

2. The Uchiha clan as it was planning the coup de eat of the leaf.  Then Sasuke could talk to his parents again and see what they think.

3.  Madara Uchiha.  This would be the man who started the whole conflict against the leaf.  Also, I don't know, they just seem linked, Sasuke and Madara.  Very similar goals.

4.  Sage of the six paths.  Yeah thats a long shot but if anyone is the man who knows anything, its the original ninja.

So yeah, 3/4 chance of time travel.  I don't know what to expect it seems kind of strange and time travel would lead to a lot of plot holes.  But hey, Kishimoto has never let me down before.  And color pages next week too!  I wish this chapter would satisfy my Naruto craving for the week, but now I want more!

Favorite Openings

I know a lot of Naruto fans don't like the intro and outro music.  I love them!  Even though I don't know what they are saying, the sounds are great.  Although some are more emotional then others and thats what makes a song great.  The animation can be exceptional too.

5. Distance- Naruto Shippuden 2
I loved the animation and I wish the song was longer.  Still it powerfully displays the importance of friendship.
  
4.  Closer- Naruto Shippuden 4
This was nice and reminds me of Shikamaru for some reason. It kind of feels like his journey though his ninja carreer. I also like the fights between Hidan and Kakazu in this arc, so the song reminds me of them too.

3.  Figthing dreamers- Naruto 4
A classic that everyone loved. This got Flow to be in so many more Naruto openings. It was fun and light, with a funny animation.

2.   Sign- Naruto Shippuden 6
Reminds me of the bonds fought over in the series.  I can see Orochimaru figthing Jiraya, Naruto vs. Sasuke, and more.  It's powerful especially at high volume.

1.  Driver- Naruto Shippuden 8
This song is really the whole reason I made this post.  It's the best and even made me cry once.  Only a little.  But the animation with the song is just as powerful as the music itself.  Naruto is struggling.  Drowning in the darkenss with his foes.  He flails as he sees Sasuke, unable to grab him.  Then he is supported by his friends and is able to escape the darkness.  He is now determined.  As Sasuke fades into the Darkness once again, Naruto goes right in after him.  It shows the main plot of Naruto through a metaphor and I just love that.   

Who is Tobi?

Kishimoto is Tobi.  Imagine that, Tobi removes his mask and then poof!  An actual color picture cut -out and glued on to Tobi's face.

But if he wanted a more serious role, it would have to be Madara's brother.  First of all, there is no proof that he actually died.  We see his eyes removed and a coffin with the Uchiha crest on it.  That is all.  Second, Tobi doesn't seem to care about losing and replacing eyes.  This is not normal so I would think that if he had already lost his eyes to Madara, he wouldn't care about using other people's eyes.  Third is obvious, Tobi's knowledge of the Uchiha and the entire ninja world.  Being extremely old and from such a skilled clan, Madara's brother would have oddles of knowledge about the shinobi world.

Fourth, Tobi helped Itachi kill the Uchiha clan because he held a grudge against the Uchiha.  This grudge probably stemmed from the clan's abandonment of Madara, who's death could be related to the Uchiha and Madara going their seperate ways.  Fifth, Tobi pretending to be Madara was probably just a way for people to reconize him without having to explain that he is actually Madara's brother.  It's like living in a small town right outsie a major city and just saying your from that city to simplify things.  He figured that they were similar enough that impersionating him wouldn't make much a difference and it would also inspire fear.Would you be more impressed to meet President Obama or Obama's brother?  It's the same kind of deal.

Sixth, Madara's brother could have known Madara was going to fight Harishima and went to the battle scene afterwards to recover both Madara's body and some Harishima DNA.  In fact the rinnegan eyes given to Nagato could actually have been Madara's!  Seventh and most powerful, Madara and Tobi seem to be related.  Nothing freaked Tobi out more than seeing Madara resurected.  When Madara was resurected, he seemed to know what Tobi was doing as soon as he heard the kages mention "the other Madara."  There is no way Madara would know what that meant unless they knew each other and were probably working together at some point.

Let me acknowledge some other theories and prove them wrong.

Tobi is a Zetsu clone:  Really? no if anything it's the other way around.  Zetsu could be a manifestation of Harishima's DNA mixed with some crazy jutsu by Tobi.  But Tobi bosses Zetsu around so much that I think Zetsu's only purpose is to serve Tobi.  That isn't much of a life, unless of course Tobi made Zetsu and therefore owned him. 

Tobi is Shisiu (Itachi's friend):  I thought this was true too because it was mentioned by an Uchiha that Shisiu was the best at teleportation jutsu (Tobi's trademark).  But recently, Itachi's flashback showed Shisiu dying to protect the Uchiha and the leaf village.  Giving Itachi his eye as well, Tobi would never do that.  Plus the conversation Itachi has with Tobi is totally different from the one with Shisiu and suggests they are different people.

Tobi is Obito: No, just no.  What is the motivation?  How could someone old enough to harvest Harishima's DNA appear 12 at the time when Kakashi is around 12.  He is about 26 now so that's only a fourteen year difference.  26 is pretty young to be around when Madara was relevant.  Plus,, the way he died, giving Kakashi his eye, Tobi would never do that.  The only real evedence to support this rediculus claim is that Obito is an Uchiha, the names are similar, and when Kakashi was about to use his Mankekeyou on Tobi, Tobi said, "don't bother Kakashi, that jutsu won't work on me."  This implies he is knowledgeable about Kakashi's eye powers but he could have found that out anywhere. Kakashi has used it against the Akatsuki at least three times so far (twice on Diedara, and once on Pain).

So now you know.  Madara's brother is running around trying to attain the peace his brother could not acheive.  In fact, Madara running form the village saying the Leaf and Uchiha could not get along is very similar to Tobi saying true peace could never happen.  So unless Tobi is Kishimoto, you get bet it's Madara's brother.      

Naruto 268, Battleground

Sorry this is a day late but like I mentioned before, I don't keep ontop of the anime as much as the Manga.  I also only watch the official version.  The only reason I read the illegal copies of the manga is because I didn't know it was illegal when I started reading and now I'm hooked.  I bought every graphic novel and plan to buy all of them.  This way I am supporting the publisher and it feels nicer to read from a book than a computer or ipod.

I don't even have much to say about it.  It was nice?  Not a lot really hapened? Oh yeah the cloud ninja's black panther was really cool.  I love it when Japenese people scream english words. KIRI PANTHER!!!  I want to learn Japenese so I don't have to read the subtitles.  It would be a great way to relate to the characters more as well.  My library has a free language learning program I can do online and I may take it in college in a couple years.

Any way got off track.  The episode.  Right.  They added some filler about kekke touta or whatever as opposed to Kekke genki.  Three chakra natures instead of one.  I can't wait to see the Kinkaku and Ginkaku fight as well.  I really would like to see the jincurikki transformation that occurs late in that battle.  I don't mind filler so much considering I already know everything that happens in the true story and it can be entertaining at times.  Plus, the anime could probably catch up to the manga in about two months if it really wanted to.  There has been almost non-stop quick action scenes in the manga that are quick to animate.  Not that I'm an expert in animation but I've seen it happen before.

Naruto 592, Third Power?

This chapter was full of complex suprises.  First, Sasuke questions what the shinobi world is and how he fits into it.  Deep thoughts for a psycopath who recently wanted to murder everyone in the leaf village.  This must mean Itachi got to him at least on some level.  Then Juggo and Shitsu appear. (They seem like such minor characters now, I forgot how to spell their names!).  After Shitsu comments on Kabuto's snake looking like a huge... (Comic relief at its finest) they bring Sasuke news that Madara is still chillin' around and shitsu gives him the super secret scroll.  Sasuke looks suprised and angry when he hears about Madara, meanig he will probably go after him.  Upon opening the scroll he decides to see Orochimaru, the man who knows everything.

I'm not going in order of the chapter here, but I'll go through each story seperately (3 stories are going on at the same time).  Madara is perfectly fine but has lost interest in the Kage.  He probably feels it would be too cliche or unimpressive to use the perfect Susanoo again so he wants to go after Naruto.  That is bad news because if Naruto has to face Tobi and Madara, I can't see him winning.  The Kage have mixed feelings about continuing to fight, but Madara simply calls them unsightly. 

Back to Naruto, Kakashi is using his awesome chain raikiri and Guy smashed part of the Geddo statue.  Eigth-tails and Naruto in Controlled Biju Mode punch it in the face. They absolutly kicked the crap out of it.  Good to see Naruto can still use nine-tailed chakra and everyone else has energy to fight.  But Tobi is provoked by Naruto and so feeds the two demon brothers of the cloud to the statue.  He then makes a chakra focusing hand seal and looks to revive an incomplete form of the ten-tails.

The last page is Sasuke prominent in the middle with Madara on his left and Tobi on his right.  It looks very impressive and I see that as potentially an "axis of evil."  The three main bad guys mobilizing.  However there is a chance that Sasuke is no longer evil.  At the very least he wants to finish off Madara.  I think Sasuke is really the only one who could beat Madara.  His new Susanoo with amaterasu shiruken and so on could really be hell to Madara.  But Sasuke wants to talk to Orochimaru, the man who knows everything.  I'm not sure if this means he wants Orochimaru's adivce or help or what, but it means getting him out of the jar-genjutsu-sword-thing in Itachi's Susanoo.  Maybe Sasuke inheritted that sword?  Or he is going to find/ revive him some other way.

Naruto is screwed.  I said that a lot before when he was fighting the six jinchuriki, but this time he has to face ten-tails.  His people must be exhausted and Madara is going to join the battle soon too.  BUT Sasuke wants to fight Madara, whom I see as mainly responsible for the Uchiha massacre.  So everyone is coming together again including,the antagonist of Part I, Orochimaru.  I have high hopes for Sasuke, and if he turns good he will become my second favorite character with Naruto bumped down to third.  Knowing Kishimoto's affinity for suprises, he could become first!

Top 5 Favorite Naruto Characters

I may be bored every once in a while and so I will post about random things.  It's not a review, but it still has to do with Naruto so its fair game.

My favorite Naruto characters as of now; while many have fluctuated over time, my top 5 has been pretty consistent.

Honorable mentions:  Kiba, Neji, Rock Lee, Hinata, Sasori, Shikamaru, Forth Hokage

Yeah I know thats a lot but hey, Naruto has many great personalities.  Kiba was my best character in pretty much every Naruto video game and I like his battle style.  I personally feel I would be a cat ninja with powers similar to Kiba's if I were in the Naruto world.  Sadly, he gets almost no screen time and his personality traits are not like mine.

Neji was also a good character of mine in the Naruto video games.  I like his serious personality, transition from "bad" to good guy, and his power to shut off chakra is interesting.  Not to mention his whole family situation.

Rock Lee was one of my favorites only because of his fight with Garra, which is in the top 5 fights of all time for sure (another post?).  Also his motto to never give up and always set goals for youself is something I copy from him into real life.

Hinata is well... she has nice... um... eyes.  Yeahhhhh.  I like how she is quiet and reserved like me and is determined to help her love, Naruto.  A true heroine.  But the physical attractivness doen't hurt either.  I liked her shape even before shippuden and when I saw her for the first time in shippuden I was like "damn gurl!"

Sasori was my favorite of the Akatsuki.  His powers and personality were cool even if the human puppet stuff was kind of weird.  Imagine experimenting with your parent's corpses?  Anyway his family story saddens me. I like how he gave Sakura information at the end, showing his acceptance of defeat, and integrity.  His puppets are really cool especially the third kazekage one. 

Shikamaru is odd.  Many people like him but I really don't.  It's odd, I relate to him a lot (book smart, lazy, calm) but I never connected with him.  Maybe I'm jealous that he is smarter than me or I don't really like his jutsu.  Not sure but I still like him a litte I guess?

Forth Hokage is just plain awesome.  His jutsu, genius, speed, rasengan, heroism, Naruto's dad, ect.  For some reason, like Shikamaru, I never fully connected with the Minato.  Maybe because he seems so distant or too naturally talented to even understand.

Number 5: Kakashi

Who doesn't like Kakashi? He's cool, has awesome jutsu, and a mysterious story.  His lightning blade, sharingan, copy abilities,  and intelligence make his fighting style very entertaining.  He is like me as calm and cool.  His love of Makeout Paradise and other funny moments really help with the story too.  His Mangekyou Sharingan is cool and I really want to see how he got it.  Not much more to say on him but he pales in comparison to some of the others on the list.

Number 4: Itachi

I didn't like Itachi at first.  I took Sasuke's side and wanted to see Itachi die.  But he was also so powerful that you had to acknowledge his strength.  After Itahci died and the truth was releaved, I was shocked.  My respect for Itachi grew so strong and fast that I think Itachi's story is the most emontional of all the characters. I love his jutsu, and his abilities still overpower those of Sasuke.  I hate that he was ill, but Sasuke could nto have killed him without help right?

Number 3 and 2: Sasuke and Naruto

I can't decide which one I like more.  Both are the main characters, star crossed rivals.  Sasuke is calm, cool, and naturally talented like me, but I hate the path he has chosen.  I dislike that part so much but everything else from jutsu to personality and apperance are all very cool. 
Naruto is the main character.  Fun, happy, pure goodness, and the nine-tails make him so appealing to me.  His personality and "friendship no jutsu" make me want to be his friend.  I like his pranks at the begining of the story and most comedy in the series revolves around him.  His jutsu are amazing, multi shadow clones, rasengan, rasenshiruken, sage mode, nine-tailed mode, controlled nine- tailed mode, and biju mode are all extremely cool.  I use that word a lot, but the top 3 of this list all have my favorite jutsu in the entire anime/manga. 
Both Naruto and Sasuke's stories are sad which make them great characters as well.

Number 1: Gaara

I relate to Gaara a lot in that he was alone in the world. He chose a path both Naruto and I understand.  But Naruto changed him for the better, and I really respect how he changed.  Becoming Kazekage at such a young age, his power.  He was my favorite in terms of abilities.  The controlling of sand, its fluidity allowed all kinds of stunning jutsu. His naturaltalent surpassed so many in the series. 
Gaara was the only character I thought was a bad ass.  That goes for any story, not just in Naruto.  I don't even like the adjective, but it fits Gaara perfectly.  His ruthless killing of the guys in the forest of death and the ones at the exam finals struck particularly. 
When he turned good, I still liked him because of his abilities and power.  His desion to turn good was the best of any character in the story.  Also of all the kage, I personally think Gaara was the best fightning against Madara, especially the Susanoo clones.
Finally, I just wish I was Gaara.  An automatic defense.  An ability with so much creative poential.  A path to goodness from the darkness.  A calm and cool personality.  All these make me like Gaara more than any other character in the series.

Naruto 267, The Leaf's intelligence

I don't follow the anime as closely as the manga, but I do find it entertaining.  Adding color and motion really helps visualize the action.  These reviews will be shorter than the manga ones and I only follow the official site's schedule.  I know I could find a pirate site or subcribe to crunchyroll but I just don't care enough to.
This episode was good.  It had Shikamaru's dad (Shikaku?) convince the raikage to commit to his battle plan.  The way the anime used motion, actual figures, and showed the people from each force, really helped in understanding what was going on.  The fact that ninjas have giant iPads is pretty funny too (what else was that thing they used)?  The two Ninetailed brothers are pretty cool lokking too.  That's all I got.  Told you they would be short!

Naruto 591, The 1 Risk

Sorry this chapter review took so long.  I am very busy at the moment and had no time to write on here.This chapter took a happy ending and flipped it on its head.  My favorite part is actually the first page, when Itachi fades with the light.  The last panel was brilliant artwork by Kishimoto.  Saskue says "I'm..." and I can't wait to find out what he is.  Will he say "I'm going to kill everyone who made Itachi suffer" or "I'm so happy." Hopefully the latter, and he becomes at least a little less of a jerk than he is.  Don't get me wrong, I like Sasuke, but he's a jerk.
Next more people vanish. Dan is released from his barrier and uses a jutsu to save Tsunade from Madara's last ditch attempt to kill her. He gives her chakra, kisses her like she used to, and gave Tsunade motivation.  Heartwarming.
All too soon is the end of the chapter and, as per usual, the last page is the most important.  Madara is still chillin' without any plans to leave.  He claimed that there was a weakness to the edo tensei afterall.  If you were resurected and knew the hand signs, you could break the summoning contract attaching you to your master and roam free.  "Unlimited chakra, an undying body... quite a risk, with someone like that running around."  In the last panel Madara released his sunmmoning contract and is now free from Kabuto's control.  As such, Kabuto's release does not affect him.
As for my previous predictions, I at least got one part right.  Madara did try to kill a kage before his edo tensei ran out and his main target became Tsunade. For next time, I expect the Kages to retreat and Madara follwing.  Perhaps they will run into more people? There are four options.  Either they run into Naruto and Tobi's fight, the main shinobi army, Saskue, or a mix of all three converge.  I also wonder if Kabuto will turn to Saskue's side, and become his assistant like he was Orochimaru's.  Then the pair could attempt to stop Madara.
We will see on Wednesday!

Naruto 590, Itachi's Love

This is the only Naruto chapter that actually made me cry.  Not a lot, but it was very emotional.  First we see Naruto and company fighting Tobi.  This is the second time we have seen a glimpse of them which leads me to believe that the next chapter will focus on how that fight is evolving.

Next we find out that Madara is not immune to the limits of Edo Tensei.  His perfect form collapses just as the Kages were about to die/give up hope.  I believe that now Madara will make an attempt to kill at least one more Kage.  Tsunade will most likely end up dead from Madara or protecting another kage like Garra.  It would tie in nicely to the whole theme of protecting the next generation of ninja.  Tsunade's injuries are so severe I don't think she could make it out alive anyway.

The main part of the chapter was when Itachi showed Sasuke what happened before he left the village.  The most important part of this flashback was that we saw Itachi was given Shisui's eye and later Itachi talked to Tobi.  These two conversations force the conclusion that Tobi IS NOT Shisui.  The way they talked to each other and the death of Shisui before-hand confirm this.  I was surprised because Shisui was one of the few I suspected to be Tobi.  I think it is Madara's brother, but I will post why later.

The death of Itachi's parents is what started the waterworks in my eyes. Even now I just started up again.  Their acceptance of Itachi's path, the dad being proud of him, and the line "Our pain will only last an instant unlike yours," really got me going.  It was so sad but happy at the same time.  At least Itachi did not have to fight them and die without their approval. 

Lastly Itachi grabbed Sasuke and told him that no matter what he did, Itachi would love him forever.  I like this as it fits Itachi perfectly.  He cared about Sasuke more than anything and should allow him to do whatever made him happy.  Plus, he trusts Naruto to stop Sasuke from killing anyone else.

Next chapter will focus around Naruto's battle but should start with Sasuke.  What will he do now?  Head out immediately or deal with Kabuto first?  Will he kill Kabuto or let Itachi's jutsu contiue on him?  We will find out Wednesday!

Hello Internet!

Welcome to Positive Naruto Reviews.  There are many people out on the internet who like to review the latest Naruto chapters but am I the only one who hates all thier negativity?  We are Naruto fans not haters.  While it is not perfect, almost every manga chapter has been good and really should be looked at in perspective with the entire manga, not just the one chapter.

Here I will post reviews for each chapter, anime episode, and special when it comes out.  Please leave comments or whatever to show that someone is reading this.  I'm new to the whole blogging thing.
