Best part:
Bee: No~~ ...B- boobs!? A: Bee! How dare you stare at Hokage's breasts in front of me! Shikaku is panicking So the Zetsu clones are finally useful, it seems that the plan was to gather chakra of various alliance ninjas during the daytime fighting, then at night a part of the Zetsu army transforms into those ninjas (like Zetsu did with Kisame) and attack the alliance from inside, and it seems this internal attack will cause such a chaos that there is a good chance the alliance will fall apart. Finally we see Madara having a plan even without Kabuto's help. Furthermore the Zetsus cannot be detected by sensor ninjas because the chakra is completely identical to the original, so my guess is that Naruto will be the only one detect Zetsus by feeling the killer intent (as in case of Kisame). Kishimoto did it again, now Raikage can't stop Naruto because without his help the alliance won't survive this night |

It appears Sakura was thinking about Sasuke as her true love when talking to the love letter guy. And Hinata wants to protect Naruto-kun. Cue legions of shippers rampaging. The Naruto x Sakura fans are really in a mess since they thought Kishi would leave this open ended and it was Naruto.
What other kooky romance will be in this war? The most important thing about this chapter is that the White Zetsu were used just to clone the Alliance. So now we have to see just how screwed Kishi allows the Alliance to be. How many were cloned? Do we have 20,000 Zetsu clones among them? It opens up a number of possibilities including the Alliance turning on itself as they try to figure out the clones. But it shouldn't come to that. Shikaku will use his superior Nara intelligence to figure something out. Next chapter should be Naruto talk-no-jutsing A and Tsunade. It seems like Kirabi has now completely become a comic relief character.

Alright, things got better! Neji was a Zetsu, kind of expected, and from what I gather the evil duo was hoping to use the Itachi/Nagato combo as a diversion, while the Zetsus did the inside job. At least they're doing a good job, Sakura was lucky Tonton did her best in this war

Enjoyed the chapter. Really loved Bee's reaction to seeing Tsunade. I really wonder how Naruto is going talk his way past the Raikage in the next chapter.
As DragoZERO has stated, Sakura really lucked out with Zetsu not knowing who Tonton was. I found on how the girls thought about their guys were interesting. When Sakura thought about Sasuke, she could only see him being pissed off and that brought her mood down further. Hinata on the other hand thought of a serious Naruto then a smiling Naruto which motivated her more to protect him. As for Zetsu himself, it's going to be interesting to see how the alliance deals with the situation. |

Aside from that, I don't have much else to say on the chapter beyond how much of a low-blow I thought it was for zetsu to take out two guys while they're "draining the lizards". Despite that, I still have to give the guy credit. Because that tactic was very shinobi worthy. lol |

uuugh Bee, Hokage is an E ... how poetic ... actually her Es are A+ but whateva
gotta say I am surprised this is a lot better than I expected after last one. It's nice to see Itachi's and Nagato's chitchat being used to build the tension for whatever that slimy creature intends to spring on Madara - I wonder ... could Itachi's Mangeyko Sharingan and Nagato's Rinnegan joined together maybe be used to block Madara's final Genjutsu? Anways, Sakura had an ok humor scene there, and I was roflmao at the "lez discuss Hokage's cleavage intermezzo that's a new side to Bee which I like ... I still thing it's a bad sign that Hokage and Raikage get to them on the last page only though - we'll have another 20 pages of Naruto persuading them next chap - though I have some hope that will be intersected by Shikamaru comin up with something against the Zetsus... he sure looked like brain at work at IQ 250

Realistically, we've known for quite awhile that Kishimoto was going to go for the most obvious romantic choice (HinaNaru and SasuSaku), so I see no reason anyone should be too upset by this obvious development.
That being said, TonTon and Kirabi owned this chapter (TonTon singlehandedly owned last chapter as well). I expect we will be seeing KirabixTsunade pictures in the not too distant future... Oh yeah, and the chapter was pretty good as well. There is some actual tension after so long, and the idea that this could have been Madara's plan all along is quite interesting. |

I like how zombie Itachi and Nagato are so chill. They're just sitting there relaxing, talking about the insane situation around them like you talk about the weather.

I think Shikaku might recall Yamato's report like Sakura did. Yamato probably mentioned Naruto's ability to sense enemies despite them concealing their chakra. He'll realize that then contact A and Tsunade. Either that or he figures out something that forces the Zetsus to drop their disguises. Quote:

admitteldy surreal, yeah - but I guess its hinted pretty clearly that Itachi and Nagato are the wrench that that he intends to throw into Madara's plans .. the interesting part will be how far Madara anticipates the betrayal - anyways - the question remains what does Kabutomaro save them for?
on another note, small oversight this chap ...shouldn't there be a Gedomazo rampaging around somewhere? I'd have liked one panel to showcase the destruction in passing XD edit: oh and I totally ignored the next chapter title: Naruto vs Raikage? Ok so maybe no talk

Sakura did it well there... if Shikaku manages to find a nice counter to Zetsu's attack, it will be thanks to Sakura's intel.
I lol'd with Neji and Kiba, certainly Kiba is a comic relief No surprises there, Killerbee is a breast man... Nice chapter.

I was wondering about that too. Also, besides the oversize statue roaming around with Madara riding it, you have the remaining Swordmens of the Mist still fighting along with some other Edo Tensie warriors still roaming the area.
