There have been fan theories for years that Sasuke and Naruto would team up to beat Madara. Including the one theory alluding to Kublai Khan's invasion of Japan and how he was stopped by typhoons which point to naruto and sasukes chakra nature.

This chapter was somewhat better than the last couple, but I'm growing tired of this confrontation and hope it wraps up really soon. I would really like to get to some more actual content and plot; especially when the story finally switches over to Orochimaru and Sasuke. I feel that sub-plot has a great amount of potential and opportunity to introduce something very excitinng and simulaing as opposed to this this "great ninja war" which I consider to be a nearly complete let-down --I only really enjoyed Madara and Tobi's airtime. I really enjoyed the Tobi story, but it would've been much more enjoyable if it could be read in it's entirety, like Kakashi's story. These chapters really feel too short; it takes an entire chapter for him to do something like kill fodder ninja in a forest and officially accept a new ideology. It was a nice read, but frustrating to go through it in such small parts.
There has been alot of action this arc, yet what I find myself missing right now is actual plot content, such as Itachi turning out to be a double agent, or Tobi's suspensful story telling flashbacks full of dialogue and interesting information. I really hope Kishimoto will provide such elements when the story finally switches over from this giant monster fight; indeed, we should even expect as much from the ones who "know all" shouldn't we? ...Though unfortunately after contemplating the last few dozen chapters, I feel I am expecting too much. It is very frustrating to see such a great story full of potential go to waste though. |

Instead he dragged Orochimaru back so he could have Sasuke play detective getting to the bottom of questions we already sort of know the answers to. I don't think it will be as exciting or interesting as you are expecting. It is just something so Sasuke can be featured without affecting the war and engaging with Naruto for now. I can understand why Kishi wants to develop Sasuke. He couldn't stay a raving lunatic that wants to destroy Konoha. But there is really little he can do with him. He entered the war looking extremely sinister with the tagline saying he "would bring carnage to the battlefield." Then he immediately bumped into Itachi and acted like a normal 16 year old kid for most of the Kabuto fight. Now he wants to go on a vision quest. I believe Kishi knows where he wants Sasuke at the end. The troubling part is how do you get him there without it looking like an asspull? Monster fights suck when they are fighting other monsters. At least there are finally different characters. It got boring because we kept seeing the same six characters over and over again. Nothing could progress. And Obito's story was a total let-down. Now at least with the Alliance there we can move the main plot along and actually see some character development, destruction, and pathos. No more distractions. Outside of the Tsunade/Kage sub plot.

Truthfully, I am expecting Tobi to start the Matrix sometime soon only for Naruto or Sasuke (or for a twist, Sakura or Hinata) to break the illusion and end Tobi's plans permanently. Then the fight can finally reach its crescendo.
That being said, the army arriving is not only uninteresting to me (how Ino was able to divert the Jyuubi's blow is still mind boggling), but it is tactically stupid. They are fighting a monster that can destroy everything around it (for miles?) with relative ease, so there immediate formation is to literally group together in one place so that the Jyuubi (or Madara) can kill them all at once...it's just stupid. If they wanted to help, they should summon all the summon beasts and try to get them to make some sort of opening for Naruto and Kirabi. Otherwise, they are simply in the way and easy pickings for the Jyuubi. |

It's because we are so familiar with the story and characters and given their maturity we can predict with reasonable accuracy what will happen.
Kishimoto dragged out the story too long with manga filler, stuff that does not matter and reduced the economy of the story. It's become stale so to speak, but since we have invested so much of our lives into Naruto we want to know how it finishes or at least confirm our theories. It's not only the end goal but the execution. Sometimes these chapters are well written but more often they lack the dynamism and excitement of what first drew us into Naruto. |

Waaaait a minute... When Naruto fought Pain he told everyone to stay out of the way so he wont have to protect them, but now all these fodders that needed to be protected are somehow the ultimate weapon against a being that can destroy the planet. Ok.

Realistically, what has happened recently that many did not expect? The only thing I can think of is Rin being killed by Kakashi, but even then there was some speculation back when Kakashi revealed his MS that he had killed (or at least witnessed) Rin's death. Shh. Don't think about it... Last edited by james0246; 2012-11-29 at 10:14. |

True, but before he let out the Kyuubi he had already lost anyway. |

the other dimension doesnt exist in the real world right??
so the only thing that could defeat madara and ten tails right now is to suck them right into the other dimension using the kamui. obito is the only one that can defeat them

He can sacrifice himself to delay Madara, by sucking them into his special dimension he would only delay Madara until Madara find out how to return to the real world. But such a move would be enough to end this war story arc and then switch to the Naruto vs Sasuke story while Madara can prepare to be the final villain.

I guess the Jyuubi could tear that dimension apart and create a rip between dimensions. But I beg for Kishimoto not to use that method/idea because it's so DBZ, Bleach and whatever. In almost each shounen there is at some point someone who can do that.
Orochimaru is the one with all the experience concerning impure world resurrection. He may not be able to kill but rather bury Madara. Now that Obito is the masked man I guess everything can be expected again. In my opinion, even if I don't like it, maybe Orochimaru and Sasuke will be made heroes of Konoha and the ninja world. I still can see Naruto get Sasuke's eyes. He would then decide to kill himself by resurrecting all the ones who have died, including Sasuke, because he would not be able to stand Sakura crying and of course he was always ready to sacrifice himself for the good of the village. His face would then be carved into that mountain in Konoha or even somewhere else. He'd be the very legend who saved the ninja world or at least was the only victim of the war. Oh, and I'm back again.
