that's kind of my point. we dont know what kushina knew or what minato knows about them. with hashirama and tobirama dead at the time of their destruction only hiruzen and minato should be able to know everything. and i'd lean toward minato given his ties to the clan

Regarding whatever Kushina may or may not know about the Uzumakis, we know for a fact that she was on speaking terms with Mito.
That alone doesn't really mean anything, but if she did know something she wouldn't be pulling it out of thin air. |

I don't discount the possibility that it is something, I just don't really see a reason for it to need to be something... Quote:
Not really. We already have Naruto, the Kyuubi, whatever the Bijuu gave him, Sage Mode, and his two armies of clones and actual soldiers; the living Kages are coming back for Round 2 (3?); plus Sasuke is going to do something. There are already enough living characters that can be used to take down Madara is a sufficient enough manner (and only Kakashi and a good teammate are needed to take down Obito). If a zombie is the one to defeat Madara, then what's the point of the story of Naruto? Madara, Hashirama, Obito and Sasuke are all representations of the failure of the current systems. They all have their own little solutions and ideas, and all are wrong. Naruto, for better or worse, is the only one who can lead the characters into the bright future (sickening, but true). He need not necessarily strike the final blow (though he probably will), but it is his will that is creating the fundamental existential discussion at the root of this entire encounter. His answers are trite and uninspired, but damn if Kishimoto hasn't bent over backwards to validate Naruto's answers in every possible way. |

I don't mind more flashbacks as long as it's good stuff.
Madara could use a few more flashbacks as well. What has he been doing from his fight with Hashirama up until the end of his life? In Obito's flashback he was already an old man, surely he hasn't just been sitting still next to the Gedo Mazo doing nothing?

Another possibility is that Madara used a fission technique similar to the one performed by the 2nd Tsuchikage Muu. It would have left Madara alive, but at half his normal strength.

just adding: another possibility is that madara awakens the rinnegan after he integrated hashirama's dna into himself after the VotE fight we just saw. so he could either control life and death or absorb chakra to rejuvenate himself. we saw jiraiya will himself back to life for a short amount of time, so if madara did that with rinnegan it should be enough to justify him living on Last edited by itachi-san314; 2013-04-04 at 12:17. |

Also, Madara said he awakened Rinnegan right before he died. So he couldn't have awakened it right after the battle.

also if madara awakened rinnegan and then died at that time like hashirama thought and then was brought back to life somehow, then he did in fact gain the rinnegan right before he died. there are many ways kishi can explain it |

Am I the only one who finds Madara pathetic?
I still don't get why he decided to destroy Konoha that he himself build. If he was a psycho who enjoyed destruction, yes. But sadly he is not and his motivations are pretty dumb. He also didn't seem like big shot if Hashirama took him down alone. Though it makes current Kage's look even worse but then again Madara is immortal now. However, if he did die that day. Then how did he ended up old in a cave with Obito?
