There's just one thing that i don't like about this chapter, and maybe i can generalize to the whole manga. I'm not a feminist or something like that, on the contrary, but i have a problem with the manga: why are some girls/mothers almost never mentioned, not only they play no role in the plot but they aren't even mentioned when they definitely should be. In this chapter Naruto never asks about his mother, it's ok that he is happy about his father, but just like in the case of many other ninja it feels as if the characters don't even care about their mother. The same thing with Kakashi: mother and Rin were never mentioned. And so on with many other ninja. Whenever a mother plays some important role in the story she is already dead and is presented in half or at most one manga page. I hoped that at least Kushina will be an exception and we will get some information/story, but we won't get info right now, maybe in the future.

I'm guessing that kishi grew up in a patriarchal society, and so his values stem from that. Even if the mother was the inforcer, for many families during that era, the father was still the head of the house even if he wasn't home. I remember using my mom as a way to sway my father into letting me do things that if I were to ask directly would warrant a no. I guess also it realy inflates the cast, Narutoverse is not small at all, and I think since Yondaime/Minato is an already established character that is already quite popular with fans, it doesn't make sense if in the alloted one chapter you divide the time to show a character that is already rarley shown split it with a lesser known character. I really don't think he writes the stories in sexist way, you have strong women in the series, its just introducing characters that you don't plan on developing can only confuse the audience especially with a work that spans for this long.

Hes not , thats where the dumbass part comes from. The hormonal part comes from that even if hes remembering what the kyubi said, but he is not attempting to go after the guy who began the chain of events, he is totally hormonal, I mean, priority number one should be to destroy the roots of the problem first and then do his vengeance on Konoha thing afterwards if he feels so inclined. But he is simply taking the "feel good" approach and just going after the percieved direct cause without regards to the other problems that Madara has/will cause if he acts on his behalf, even if he plans to betray him in the future. But in anycase, that is the reason I would say that. |

so far we don't even know what's in his head, who knows, he could be going for easy targets such as silently dispatching the elders after getting the necessary info and then deal with Madara for last (after all why join a man who aided your brother in slaughtering your clan!??? after all Madara could've killed his parents not itachi) so far we don't what the hell is Sasuke's hidden agenda, after all he did state that Hawk is using Ataksuki just as much as Ataksuki is using them. PS: Madara did tell him he & itachi were responsible for the clan's genocide after the order was given |

^^ I doubt they'll fight, that might just be a halfway fight cuz Naruto gotta tell him the truth, the choice is up for sasuke to believe or not. I doubt a spiritual witness such as Naruto dad could tell him personally, Naruto's gonna need Konoha History 101

I dont dislike Sasuke, but after the things with his bro and then his new angle with regards to Konoha, the attitude just got stale, up to that point I wouldve defended him.
I suggested Sasuke might intend to betray him, but I never said Sasuke wouldnt get ownt in the process. |

Senjutsu is probably the most haxx ability in the entire series (it heals, it gives Naruto an unknown/non-observable chakra supply, it gives him extra strength, extra speed, et cetera, et cetera). About the only problem with Senjutsu is the fact that it has a time limit, but adequate planning gets rid of said time limit.

I don't get why he only sealed one half of the kyubi. Even that wasn't properly explained
Perhaps someone here knows the answer for that. As i understood it the 4th will never come back and it is the last time he could restore the kyubi seal. If only half of the kyubi is inside naruto does that mean that the kyubi is only half that powerfull than he was before? How was Killerbees sealing done? Has he only half of the eight tails inside him too?(i doubt that) IMO killerbee will be narutos final teacher after that there will be probably no one who could teach him anything.
