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!
