A bad cleaning job by scanslators can make the manga look particularly crappy. I remember a couple of scanned releases in early pt II that made certain scenes look horrible, but the art looked fine in the original version. The point of that wasn't so much Zabuza's actions as it was Haku's. Haku's still instinctually protecting Zabuza even though his emotions were supposed to have been killed. Kabuto pointed this out, even though he doesn't seem too concerned by it...yet.

^ Zabuza was part of the last generation along with Ameyuri, Kushimaru, Mangetsu, Jinpachi, Fubuki, and Jinin. Kisame killed Fubuki and replaced him. There is no current generation outside of Chojuro.
We have to remember, as powerful as these ninja are, they were still defeated by someone and killed. Kakashi and Gai, and groups like the Hyuuga and Ino-Shika-Cho were probably as feared in other villages as the Mist Swordsmen were. It's their immortality that makes them really dangerous. Otherwise the Alliance would rape the hell out of them due to sheer numbers. Hell, Kakashi with just a Nara and Yamanaka was able to make a simple plan and nearly trapped Zabuza and at least would have "killed" Haku. It seems some are saying that Kakashi screwed up by setting up raikiri before the mind transfer. It makes a loud noise and gave him away. While he was fast enough to get the jump on Zabuza, Kabuto was able to react to Kakashi. If other Nara can do shadow sewing, then I expect Kishimoto to give a new epic shadow jutsu to Shikamaru. |

I duno if this zombies can feel pain though... but if they can? Not the best experience that's for sure... To get it better just watch Baccano, it has the whole immortal issue covered really well.

Nice to see that Kishi is killing a good amount noname ninja in this war. And the Zetsus didnt even begin to fight. And after all that we can assume this whole war is just a diversion so that Madara with his new rinnegan can go behind the front lines and capture the 2 demons there. This story line is looking good, adding Kabuto's zombies to the evil army of Madara was a good idea, looking at 100,000 Zetsus would become quite boring after a few chapters, but these zombies are all different, they represent the best of the old ninja world which was all about wars and fighting.

hmmm...just thought this chapter could have been written without having suigetsu relaying stuff about the seven swordsmen and their swords' abilities. i kind of wanted to find out about them as they fought. we don't really need suigetsu to explain things. the swordsmen could do it themselves. instead of getting excited about them, i felt that it spoiled things for me a bit. but that's just me.

It does n't neccessarly have to be Kabuto that collected all of them. He might have collected some of them (which would explain what he was doing the entire time) and Orochimaru might have collected most of them, with it all being Orochimaru's idea in the first place.

So how does Kakashi get saved next week? I mean it's not like he is in any real danger since he can't die.
A) Zabuza stops mid way because of Haku. Even though he wouldn't kill him anyway. Kabuto loses it. B) Kakashi dodges the attack. C) The Nara shadow sewing stops Zabuza. D) Kakashi warps Zabuza. This is the least likely since Kakashi needs time to prepare kamui. E) Kakashi gets backup. Sai and Omoi said they were backing him up. F) He doesn't and gets cut. |

^Here's hoping Zabuza kills Kakashi next chapter, then the 7 and the Others will kill all the Alliance forces and move on to fight some opponents more interesting (or at least more powerful)...
Or Gai will save Kakashi...which ever comes first... |

If Zabuza and Mangetsu are the strongest swordsmen, then they aren't that great to begin with. Kakashi's division will rally and find a way to win. We still have much stronger opponents like Akatsuki, Hanzou, Jinchuuriki, Kages, and whatever Kabuto pulls out of his butt behind them. Even the Konoha group are probably individually stronger than each swordsmen. So the 7 swordsmen are more of a Quirky Mini boss Squad. I wouldn't be shocked if Kishimoto drags out a few more groups like this to pad the manga. Plot protected from death. But not injury. I could see Kakashi dodging and getting cut. It wouldn't be a true Kakashi fight without him being in peril. |

The first fight of the war was against Sasori without his puppets, Shin who did nothing, and a scatterbrained Deidara. Each fight will step up from that until Naruto and Sasuke take the field. So that said, I don't consider the Swordsmen to be anything special. Kakashi and group should be able to handle them, before their boss fights start.
