627: Sasuke's Reply- Sasuke Will Fight Madara!

This is the best non- combative chapter ever. Hands down.  Sasuke is now my favorite character.  First Sasuke and the others discussed their options and reviewed Madara's plan.  Sasuke weighed his decision to destroy Konoha or fight Madara based on everything his brother ever said to him.  It seemed as though Itachi's final words lifted the pressure of "avenging" Itcahi off of Sasuke's shoulders.  Now that Sasuke is free  to carry out his own dreams, he decided to protect everything that Itachi and every other shinobi fought so hard top achieve.  Sasuke could not let the world be governed by Madara as one huge "perfect world." He realized that shinobi fight for true peace and work to achieve that goal.  Madara's method skips past that work and negates all of it.  Sasuke is better than that.

Since that decision the hogakes are ready to go.  Minato will get to fight alongside Naruto, the third will be able to repay some of his mistakes and fight alongside Orochimaru, the second will eliminate the Uchiha he never trusted, and the first will settle things with Madara once again.  Its great!  I heard someone mention the Minato-Obito relationship. That should be an interesting conversation.  Kakashi will be able to see his former sensei as well!

Of course, surrounded by heavyweight fighters, Shigetsu feels out of place and tries to escape.  However he is stopped by non other than Karin, who is flustered with Sasuke stabbing her. However everything goes back to normal because she still loves him.  She is surprised to see Orochimaru who says "yeah Sasuke stabbed me too, but I suggest you go with the flow." That was funny.  I also liked the look on Sasuke's face when Karin leaned on him.  He's like "Get of B***ch!"  There were quite a few humorous and quaint moments.  To cap it off, the four Hogakes stood on their four statues carved in the rock.  Stuff is about to go down!!! 

oops... ending flashbackception

Yeah i forgot last week.  oh well I have so much going on with school between choosing my college and studying for AP Exams. No time to blog.  But heres I is.  That last Naruto chapter was cool, but now I want to finally finish flashbackception (flashback of the young 1st Hokage in the middle of a flashback of the final fight with madara vs 1st Hokage).  I can't wait to see what Sasuke has to say.  He could become good or remain evil.  I feel like he will not answer this question until he goes to the battlefield himself.  If they all go, it would really help the alliance out.  They are really struggling.

During my hiatus from using this blog, I have read the Death Note manga, watched the original Yu-Gi-Oh! anime and the Bleach anime (skipping filler) and now I am reading bleach manga.  I'm still about 50 chapters behind the present. I have to say, Naruto is not the the and only awesome anime/manga.  I was ignorant before.  I can honestly say bleach does just as much better than Naruto as Naruto has some things better than bleach.  Death Note I see as on another level/genre and Yu-gi-oh was geared for young kids, but pulled at the heartstrings more than the others.  Some Anime I have seen is just bad.  But im happy to finally be a "wellrounded" anime fan, rather than a simple narutard.  That being said I still think Naruto is the best.  Out of 7, Naruto is a 7 (perfect), bleach is 6 (Excellent), Death Note 6, Yugioh 4 (good).

I'm back

Its been a while (half a year) but I'm going to start posting again since I have gained 768 page views!  I hope to entertain you people at least a little, and if you guys leave feedback in any way that would be cool.  Can't wait for the chapter tomorrow, but I also want to be over with this flashbackception already.  See ya tomorrow!

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.
