I agree with Captain Commando. Enough with the Naruto power-ups! He can power up an entire army that could tear apart Sasuke or any threat. That is enough!

It is a given something will happen to him to free the Juubi. He won't die since he isn't fodder like Neji, but the Juubi has to get free. |

...And I never claimed you said they can't be deadly. I'm just saying that I wouldn't categorize the rinnegan as a utility power since it's abilities are quite obviously a superset of "utility". It's just capable of so many things, both deadly and supportive alike; hence me saying its more than a utility power. |

As it is, this whole powering up others tripe is just symbolic. This chapters massive attack is from Naruto and the Kyuubi. He could have just as easily done the exact same thing with an army of Kyuubi-powered Kage Bushins. Let's not pretend that the army actually matters beyond being the warm bodies that they are. |

Yeah, it's too early to judge how useful the powerups have been considering Obito and Madara haven't really done anything yet. I'm sure the next couple of chapters will answer that question one way or the other.
Also as an aside what do people here think of Kurama's emerging personality now that he's working with Naruto and not being so angry all the time? |

Just like the Hachibi predicted. He mentioned being previously very rude but became friends. The difference is that Kurama is more antisocial so when he was proud of Naruto he went "in your face Minato and Kushina."

madara can't amaterasu 'everyone'. we've seen A dodge it before so the few people with that speed (or barrier/summoning abilities) would avoid the attacks. and those few people are really the only ones madara needs to possibly strain himself when fighting. so he might as well just drop a meteor on the fodder ninja who couldn't avoid amaterasu like he already did a while back

I wouldn't like Naruto receiving the Rinnegan since he has Kurama's powers which was his objective ever since he met Jiraiya. Kurama and the other beasts mentioned that Naruto is the successor to the Rikudou Sennin but I hope it's just symbolic just like when the Beasts gave them their "strength." The Rinnegan would be more fitting to Sasuke. |

So I highly doubt he could of done the same things with an army of Kyuubi-powered Kage Bushins. At least he would of needed the Ino-Shika-Cho characters to stop the Juubi. Kishi wanted to showcase Naruto as a leader(although quite frankly, Shikaku is/was the real leader here) rather than a superhero. As for Madara? Sadly, an all too common character in shonen. The invincible bad guy who loses due to his hubris. *yawn* Since Shippuden started, we've seem villains be ridiculously overpowered compared to Part 1, and the heroes appearing to have zero chance against them. Only through changing their hearts, or by exploiting their arrogance, can they defeat them. Then fans all run to various message boards and scream, "asspull!" and "plot-no-jutsu!" when they finally lose. So now we have an immortal being with unlimited chakra. Kishi cannot have him spam meteors from god to solo the army; or just kill Naruto and take the Kyuubi. So he has to take his arrogance to almost comical levels to explain why he doesn't take any threat seriously. And this is how he will lose. This allows the Alliance to have a chance against him. When Madara finally gets serious, it will be too late for him, and he will be defeated. Largely to show what Sasuke could of become without Naruto and Itachi. Good riddance I hate these type of villains. That is why the Sound Four were the best villains in the manga. They were just slightly stronger than the heroes and overcoming them was believable. |

Madara could have amaterasu but it depends on Kishimoto as he hasn't fully explained if you need amaterasu to get susanoo, we know you need at least 2 MS eyes to use susanoo though. (maybe along with other requirements to use susanoo). Last edited by TimeMask; 2013-01-27 at 08:11. |

if either of the two will acquire the rinnegan it'll likely be sasuke, and if the true incarnation of the sage is to return to the story, imo it will be naruto and sasuke fighting together...

In the next chapter will the author switch to Sasuke's storyline?
That excellent battle seems to be close to the end. I really wonder if the Juubi will be defeated before Sasuke shows up on the battlefield. I mean the antagonists Madara and Tobi won't have any purpose, since their plan fail. Something can come up but I don't know what. Or maybe they will be able to launch the moon-eye genjutsu and the next step will be to stop this genjutsu. Madara's brother, Shodaime's wife, his parents, other? I really wonder who Sasuke will meet. The simplest connection is his parents to know why the Uchiha wanted to rebel. |

Orochimaru said that the people Sasuke wants to meet were "before his time" and is curious to know what he will say to them. Suigetsu said that the scroll could help them win the war. When Sasuke saw it he immediately wanted to use the scroll to contact someone and needed Orochimaru's help to do so. I think that Orochimaru is being enlisted to use Edo Tensei in order to retrieve the spirits of the 4 Hokage from their imprisonment within the Death God. This means we could see the return of the 3rd Hokage and the 4th Hokage! Possibly the 1st and 2nd as well. It makes sense. If you had Edo zombies of those Hokage you really would be dangerous and the 3rd and 4th Hokage can tell Sasuke things about the Uchiha Massacre and Kyuubi's attack on Leaf Village that no one else can. They alone have the answers that he seeks. Sasuke may even learn from the 4th Hokage that Naruto is his son which could play an interesting factor in their rivalry since Sasuke will know that Naruto is a descendant of someone great and not just the loser orphan who is inferior to an Uchiha genius like himself as he always perceived him to be.
