I'm sure there are more angles from which Obito can remember her.

i think jiraiya is still alive, and he is taking a vacation, my clue here is that he is not in the 4th ninja war

Obito reveal is the worst thing to happen in this manga. Every chapter proves it.

Took a four month hiatus from the manga, and just now caught up to it. From someone who didn't have to wait weeks on end for this, one would think that I could find these chapters more tolerable than others. Well, no, the last four chapter may have been some of the most boring, and nonsensical chapters that I have ever read in any manga. This is so baddd, I couldn't stop shaking my head, and I am not a Naruto basher, I love the manga, story and what the show has meant to me in my personal life, but this is just bad.

What made Naruto manga different than the pack was it's ability to make other characters be the focus of an arc, and letting us to know every character in a deep way. If you weren't relating to Naruto, than maybe you could make a connection with Rock lee, if not him, then maybe Neji and his background...the point is..the show was about characters as well as the action we all like.

However, this theme has now gone out the window, this is all about Naruto and him trying to talk sense into everybody. This chapter should have been Kakashi themed but this was ruined by Naruto being extremely redundant and all these terrible Rin flashbacks that NOBODY cares about.

Well to end my rant, I will say that I think Naruto manga can still redeem itself, it will take some effort but it can be done.

Hopefully the anime will be able to make all these chapters semi interesting

I'm still waiting to find out what the heck happened to Anko.

And Yamato. Don't forget Yamato. Also Samui and Atsui.

[iBeast]

I'm never ever starting another Shonen again. Going to stick to the 30+ max episodes anime only.

That was a long, long, long, long, long, long, long time ago, man...

Yeah, the guy appeared in only one chapter. I am shocked that anyone could remember his name or what he looked like.

Samui is considered to be still alive by Darui, although that was before she was fed to the demon statue. Technically, she should be freed once the biju were released. She and Ginkaku were both sealed in gourd, then absorbed by the demon statue, then the demon statue was used to form the Juubi. Now the Juubi is split once again. Of course she could just be dead due to Kishi's indifference or not caring.

Just think about the reason a bit more. He is linked to something that for most of the readers is a very positive thing That helps a lot to remember things and people.

my money is on her being found with yamato at akatsuki's hideout. kishi could actually make a girl be useful and have her rescue yamato but that's a long shot of course

[JustRob]

Well, I was just stoked to have a chick that's actually sexy. I mean, Ino, Tenten, Sakura, Temari... Blegh. Tsunade is too much of the good stuff, plus she always wears that stupid coat. At least Samui showed her stuff.

Poor Yamato, he's rotting somewhere in a large cavern missing the entire war.

Had to google Samui, glad I did.

Yep. It was too predictable and too stupid. Sometime's it's worth letting characters die.

[HasuMasu]

Isn't Yamato immortal now?

[SoloPanda]

Spoiler for 656:

Obito: "Well, I got nothin' else. Maybe I'll give Madara one last 'fuck you' and do a good-guy thing for once in my l-"

Madara: "Lol, nope."
