Full spoilers released...

Naruto chapter.

Iruka tries to lie to Naruto to keep him from going outside.
Naruto doesn't believe him and pushes his way through Shino's dad and the others.
Naruto use Sennin Mode and then RS Mode
He knocks the two Akimichi away like bowling pins.
When the Nara guy uses the shadow binding on Naruto, he has a vision of his friends fighting from the shadow. Sakura healing people. Kakashi and Gai fighting. Shikamaru now fighting Kakuzu.
Iruka tells him the truth and tries to persuade him to return to Kirabi, but Naruto wants to go to his friends. Iruka uses a barrier jutsu to stop him, but Naruto goes RS and destroys it. No one can stop him. Iruka also wrote Naruto a letter and placed it in his forehead protector.
Naruto has now joined the war and is going to save all his friends and end the war. Even though they are kicking everyone's arse.

The preview for the next chapter is "Madara makes an unexpected move by himself. Next issue: 'Negotiations' (Here comes the plot twist)

Depending on what Madara's move is, Naruto might just be needed. Don't lose tact now boyo!

Whatever the twist is, I hope it doesn't put an end to the war. Things have gone way too smoothly until now.

This is the mofo to end all mofos in this manga, I doubt it will be as simple as kyuubi power charge. I'm expecting great twists, Naruto mindf***ery, etc.

The end of chap liner seems to say that Madara is going to propose a negotiation.

"Naruto, give yourself up or I'm going to blow everyone up."

Or it can be about holding the feudal lords hostage.

pretty sure zetsu wasn't looking for the feudal lords.

Why are they trying to have Naruto jump into the war to end everything when they haven't even shown 10% of the fighters (on both sides) in action yet? Let him finish his training and let the other characters get their time in the sun.

On a positive note, it's nice to see that Madara will do something.

I can't see the war ending anytime soon, it just doesn't make any sense unless all of the sudden the enemy pops up on Turtle Island and capture the Hachibi.

They still have too many loose ends; most of the zombie nin still have not had a scene. Gaara and company haven't fought the dead Kage's. Nagato needs to return to screw with Konoha and Sasuke needs to see his brother's body being used, not to mention Sasuke joining the fight as well.

Don't forget we also have Itachi's crown inside of Naruto that will play a part in this battle (possibly). Truth be told I want the rest of them to fight then Madara pull out all the stops, unleash the Bijuu to cause havick THEN have Naruto save the day.

The only thing that might be interesting is if he capture the Hachibi and is willing to give up his plans if they hand ove rnaruto, then it woul dbe Kanoha and the Sand against everyone else (the Sand would be the only other village not willing to give him up because even though Gaara is really logical about Sasuke, he wouldn't do that to Naruto). I still do not see any of them handing Naruto over though because of Madara's moon plan, it would just be idiotic.

Last time I checked, he was.

Handing Naruto over? Are you guys seriously considering that? The villagers let Pain annihilate Konoha and still didn't hand Naruto over. I doubt they'd do it now.

If Madara anticipated the alliance's plan then he assumes that both 8 and 9 tails are kept at a secret place, so if he tricks the alliance and finds the place he will be angry that Naruto unexpectedly ruined his plans again :)
And if Madara wants a Sasuke vs Naruto that would mean he will appear at KillerBee's place with Sasuke, knowing that Kabuto is in a safe distance. But his plan fails because Naruto went to fight Kabuto and his zombies and Madara must keep Sasuke away from Kabuto.
The funny part in this scenario would be that Naruto has again done something foolish that turns out to be a good move. In shonen manga authors like when the logical/smart decisions turn out to be failures while the emotional/stupid decisions turn out to be good :D

No I disagree,
It is too early for this show to end and what you described would be the beginning of the end.
No I think this will be a hard learned lesson for naruto and exactly what madara is after. Remember he (madara) is a master in manipulating people and their actions, he probably knew naruto would lash out eventually and so has everything set up for it.
What seems more troublesome to beat? 1 jinchuuriki or 2?
Thus having them seperated is way more usefull. Also though naruto is powerfull he still has his limits. Draining his stamina would make him easier to beat and fighting a war is pretty draining.

My guess is that kishi wants naruto and the kyuubi split.
We have recently learned that kushina after giving birth and having the fully powered kyuubi extracted was able to stay alive. Thus by default naruto should be able to survive the extraction as well. This would make it possible for him to host the juubi, like the sage of the 6 paths before him (his ancestor).
Also by losing after being overconfident in his own abilities naruto again learns a valuable lesson, you can not do it all on your own.

Atleast this is what I think will happen:).

Yes Finally!!! Go kick some ass Naruto!

Excellent chapter. I guess Naruto has mastered Sage Mode since he turned it on just by standing and talking. It was awesome how once he stepped out, he sensed every thing. Good stuff.

My complaint is all of a sudden he was using the fox's chakra. I figured there'd be a panel, even a small one, indicating that he is transforming.

Yes, this is going to be fun. Let's hope he stays determined and doesn't get all wishy washy when he sees everyone, those alive and dead.

And that's why i like Iruka... that's was a nice move...

Yes... please don't die Naruto.

Kishi pulled a good one too, the way how Naruto sensed everything was awesome, it's like your radar is off and you turned on and a thousand fighters are on your screen.

I think that scene will look cool on screen in animated version.

Though I really hope that Naruto won't steal all screen time and will get his ass kicked as well at some point.

-Ok, this was a nice chapter. Naruto's finally back and putting all of his conviction to the test, whilst smacking some shinobi like flies. Seriously, all he needed was to say "Datte-fuckin'-bayo bitches" on that last panel and he'd have earned himself the title of badass this chapter. Well, let;s see where this goes then.
