And we are once again subjected to an entire chapter of retcon

so after reading the chapter, everything was [insert Aizen voice] "part of the plan"

^&^^
...followed by 'deus-ex-machina no sealing-jutsu'... :eyebrow:

I really don't like this retcon. It makes me feel like none of this adventure was really worth it in the end. And that's the most depressing part.

I actually felt excited seeing a powered up Naruto and Sasuke (and potentially Sakura) take down Madara who had been established from very early on to be the main villain. I thought there was actually going to be a semi satisfying end...

EDIT: Retcon is the wrong word for this situation.

After reading the chapter, I think we seen this story or parts of it to be exact many times, but in different versions. I think what we should do after each chapter is ask ourselves: "Where have I seen this before?" What we read today is what mankind has done and experienced throughout its existence. In this case, we are making copies of events and living through them all over again in some way.

More flashbacks...

So I'm guessing Naruto and Sasuke are going to perform BL-no-Jutsu to give Kagura a fangasm, to allow enough time to seal her.

ok "that jutsu", is it the 1 from jiraya or i missed something else lol

Now we finally have an explanation of Zetsu's origins. Zetsu was basically the Aizen of this series considering the fact that we now know that he was behind basically everything. Hopefully this will be the last time Kishi shows us a flashback only to reveal someone else was behind everything.

My thoughts exactly! :heh:


IT'S COMING!!!! ^____^

o_o
ಠ_ಠ
~insert Kira laugh~
~sigh~
I was waiting for this moment.
For fucks sake, the second I looked at the title for this chapter, I knew it was going to be bad.
ARE YOU SATISFIED, KISHIMOTO???? For a shounen, this is intelligence insulting!!!!

Was about to ask the same thing..

5 chapter from now, we will find out that it was actually Aizen who traveled from the Bleach dimension to this one and set everything in motion since.

Uugggghhh. So now Black Zetsu is the big mastermind behind everything. This manga has gotten so retarded.

*facepalms" for this whole chapter , smh but let be real Madara was a boss to do what he did lol

Crap, now we have a mother who wants to become 'one' with her sons. The hell?

So awesome to see both Hagoromo and Hamura.

Chapter 681: Kaguya's Tears
As I said before, the Susanoo had no effect on Kaguya. Pointless.
Woau, Naruto & Sasuke look so cool with Black Zetsu implanted in them. Black Zetsu is draining chakra from them.
This chapter answered many questions and left many confused. Black Zetsu was a mystery from the beginning, the most mysterious from Akatsuki. Obito and Madara thought they knew everything about Zetsu, but not. They also thought he was under their control, but in fact they were controlled by Zetsu in order to fulfill his plan.
Hogoromo and Hashura sealed their own mother....and Kaguya is a part of the God Tree. We know Kaguya created the God Tree, in the beginning when the Sixth Paths Priest and his brother beat their mother Kaguya, she was the Shinju. Right?
Well, this Zetsu witnessed many battles...the battle with Hashirama VS. Madara (Madara lost), the battle with Sasuke VS. Naruto (Naruto lost) and many more. He has a lot of knowledge. I must say he is really EVIL. He even rewrote the Uchiha stone table wrote by Hogoromo, all this for war. He approached Kabuto just only to resurrect Madara to use Infinite Tsukuyomi and after that to invoke Kaguya to take over his body. Madara didn't know..

Also in this chapter, we got the story how Madara was able to survive the battle with Hashirama (he bite off a piece of flesh from Hashirama, he is a vampire, lol). Tobirama thought the body he had was the Real Madara, actually a clone. Probably, that's how he learned Resurrection techniques?!
Then it was only one Zetsu, but after the incident with Madara summoning the Gedou Mazou, White Zetsu was born accidentally. Nice product
I forgot, right now Sasuke is considered to be the only remaining Uchiha alive. With Madara and Obito presumed deceased. Some people say Obito he's dead, but Naruto will save him, just wait. As for Madara that's not the end for him...he will return.
Kaguya crying, why? She is evil, although she doesn't see that.
Next week chapter: I will be gone in vacation and no more reviews from me this summer. I will be back Back in September. Or October?! Pretty late huh? Long vacation!
Next week I will predict: the sealing jutsu Hogoromo gave to Naruto and Sasuke will save them and they will be able to counterattack. The counterattack begins! The Edo Kages will come to the battlefield to battle Kaguya.

ah... so confusing...

first it's all about Uchiha vs Senju
Madara Vs Hashirama
then spread out to Indra vs Ashura
now... it's about Hamura and Hagoromo...

what the heck is happening?? to put it simple, Uchiha is being used until the end...

Totally expected someone to call out "OMG, they're going to use that jutsu!" :heh:

Interesting chapter, but...
Couldn't have worded it better. Every new shocking disclosure serves to belittle generations upon generations of ninjas, only to focus on a figure that is not historical (since nobody knew about her) nor important (should be sealed forever!?). Damn black Zetsu...

Ever since Kaguya took over Madara's role as big bad, I've been enjoying Bleach more than Naruto.

That should be all I have to say about how bad these "twists" have gotten.
