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!
