Naruto would like IV oranges plea-asthma attack

You reminded me, isn't Pein in there? Couldn't he just do his revival jutsu thing again?
No, because that requires use of the magic swirly eyeballs, which apparently weren't Pain's to begin with. They were his friend's, who died. He then transplanted into himself, one of which is now transplanted into Tobi.
-
Oh, that's right! There were a few chapters where Madara stole Pein's eyes weren't there? Just like how Itachi is missing his eyes now.
Wow, did Kishimoto just cover a potential plot hole? I'm blindsided.
-

Not really. That aspect was there back when Jiraiya was fighting him. He wondered even then why the eyes had switched kids.
Itachi however… should have his full natural sight back. He'll eventually go blind again I guess, but he should have his sharingans.
-
My God.
Kishimoto did a chapter I dare call "awesome"
Is this real life?
-
Is this real life?
Is this just fantasy?
Caught in a landslide–no escape from reality.The reality being, there's potential useage of stuff... and also major potential to go incredibly south with it all.

@RobbyBevard:

lol yeah, and I think the whole bringing them back to there former selves will make it so that both itachi and nagato will have there eyes even if someone else has them, kind of weird concept
I wonder if kishi will remember that the talismans are supposed to bring them back to the prime of their lives, chiyo should go back in age quite a bit
-
I'm gonna go with "Orange Naruto Asthma Attack" for this one…
-
My God.
Kishimoto did a chapter I dare call "awesome"
Awesome? So the fact that Kishi just recycled a bunch of characters by haxing them back to life because he wrote himself into a corner by having no villains other than 100,00 naked Zetsu clones is awesome to you?
-

Don't you see the possibilities of this?
This is like a crack dream come true. I can't stop laughing.

if it gives support characters time to shine then I have no problem with it, if not then I'll be just as upset as you are now
-

Complete illogicalities aside, yes, I believe this would be quite awesome in the hands of another author.
But I know Kishi is gonna flub this up.
-
This post is deleted!
-
This chapter reminds me of Watsuki at the end of Rurouni Kenshin, when he pulled those awfully bland quadruplets out of his ass just to give the secondary characters something to do…except on a much larger scale.
-
I'm expecting worst case scenario.
Full on zombie orgyNaruto taking all of the glory. ALL OF IT. -
I'm expecting worst case scenario.
Full on zombie orgyNaruto taking al of the glory. ALL OF IT.NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
this would be horrible totally awful, the series may become worse than bleach if that's the case
-
Worst case scenario: Sasuke/Fuckup actually survives this war.
Full on zombie orgyNaruto taking al of the glory.Why can't we have both.
-

I'm expecting everybody to be pwned and Naruto killing all the zombies with one hand. My expectations are as low as they can get.
However, the chapter had many lulzy moments - Yamato in that last panel my Go Kishi you are not even trying anymore - and seeing the rookies warms my heart.
So yeah, I'll enjoy it while it lasts.
-
Hmmm… Zetsu didn't find Jiraiya's body.
-
@Cyan:
Why can't we have both.
Because that isn't an orgy, it's a gangbang.
-
So we've seen Chiyo revive people. Orichimaru revive people. Pein revives people. And Kabuto revive people. Doesn't he realize that if he takes the risk of dying off the table it removes all tension. Not to mention that one army is made of a bunch of clones and the other is made from a bunch of side characters whose efforts will all amount to nothign anyway because of how grossly overpowered Madara and the other characters Kabuto revived are. It'll just be in the hands of Naruto.

So, in other words, it was only enjoyable ironically. That pretty much describes Naruto.
Except when Sasuke appears.

Well, Sasuke was present in the Kage arc and I had a lot of fun making fun of him.
-

Well, let's just agree that Naruto, for the most part, is great to make fun of, but when you great right down to it, it's just awful.
And I still stand by my decision that this chapter was Sharingan Red.
-
I think most of them will get their own unique battles, some will just be fodder clean up but that's simply how it is, I doubt ten ten or kiba will shine, he hates them
Nearly all will be fodder, the worst way to disrespect the good characters who already died. It's Kishi style. I mean, consider even Kisame is fair game, and he only died a few chapters ago.
The only characters off limits are the Fourth, First, Second and Third Hokage.
Here's some food for thought though - Chiyo will probably be hot. The Edo Tensei summons bring back the dead in the prime of their life, so there's no way old woman Chiyo is going to get summoned back.
So we've seen Chiyo revive people. Orichimaru revive people. Pein revives people. And Kabuto revive people. Doesn't he realize that if he takes the risk of dying off the table it removes all tension.

It'll just be in the hands of Naruto.
Chiyo's had limitations - life for a life, equivalent exchange. Pain was the next most broken in line, since he died in the process of reviving everyone, and he's using the original life jutsu of the Sage of the Six Paths, the ultimate being in Naruto's universe.
Only Orochimaru erred toward the broken - sacrifice a life of any age to create an immortal imitation that has all the skills of the original, with the only limitation being they draw on the summoner's chakra. The original restriction against it were social norms - enslaving the dead is unholy, so unholy that it says a lot about Orochimaru's grudge with the Third Hokage. It's not like he killed his entire village to bring forth undead summons, for instance.
Kabuto spamming them isn't very well written in respect to what I just said about Oro, so it's plainly clear the summons are just used to save Kishimoto the effort of inventing new villains or fleshing out the world more.
-
It would be hilarious if it was Naruto who had to defeat all those guys while the side characters get nothing but Zetsus numbers 1-13545464 (I'll give Kishi more credit than this and so I don't think this will happen). Though I do expect Naruto to find out about Madara reviving Nagato and jacking one of his eyes. Oh and one of those zombies looked like Tsunade a lot.
-
The resurrection thing peeved me a bit. The Akatsuki? Fine. The Kage, minus the Ho's for past reasons? OK. The past tailed beast containers? Eh, alright. Hanzo? Apparently, he was a badass, so whatever. Zabuza & Haku? Seems they were good mercenaries, so sure. Chiyo? …........They say she was tough in her prime, but really stretching it. But that one teacher and Tsunade's boyfriend? Come on, son.
And you think they would do it to Kisame for his complete loyalty, and Konan for being dangerous against Madara. Hell, might as well bring back the orange-haired guy that hung out with Konan and Pain to replace the apparently still-not-dead Hidan.
-
Though I am sure things will be bungled spectacularly, the potential of the spectacular bungling thrills me!
Brava, Kishimoto.
-
So this manga is over, right? There is no way he could continue this beyond this epic war. I mean, he brought back motherfukin' Zabuza! This shit is done.
Kabuto spamming them isn't very well written in respect to what I just said about Oro, so it's plainly clear the summons are just used to save Kishimoto the effort of inventing new villains or fleshing out the world more.
Kishi sucks at world expansion. Mass revival should been seen from a mile away.
-
Is it just me, or was this war just suddenly awkwardly jammed into the story?
But hey, Naruto is showing signs of ending, that can't be bad.Also that whole idea of "bringing back all the dead characters in the story back to life for a final showdown!" sounds stupid. It just gives me the impression that Naruto's struggles up to this point have all been futile, just a little bit.
-

okay quick annoyance now
Why is Sasuke still in wearing bandages on his eyes mode, when madara is out and showing off his new eye already? didn't sasuke get itachi's eye's like way before madara got his eye?
not onto this chapter. i used to think "hmm, naruto actually looks cool in his 9 tails mode shiny guy" but now i don't. he looks like shit
okay and anyone else getting some huge one piece feeling right now. this war and the war we just had seem very similar. we have ourselves clones in each. the pacifistas and the zetsu's. we have returning past villains from impel down and from the coffins. we have all these side characters in naruto, who will probably get about as much screen time as wb's commanders and those new world pirates did in the war.
oh and what the fuck is with him reviving coincidentally like only the people who have died that we saw ever. Like shikimaru's teacher? really? or haku and zabuza, the old granny, ect. i mean hell you revived all of akatsuki, who were like legends and the hokages of the past, are you really going to bring back people like haku? or especially shikimaru's teacher. that is the biggest bullcrap out of them all.
-
-
What's funny is One Piece is only halfway done, so once Naruto blows over and the narutards are like "…now what?" Some of 'em will discover One Piece, and still have a good decade of awesomeness left.
...
Unless kishi pulls a Kubo and starts a whole new arc after the war instead of wrapping everything up. >_>

I'm having similar feelings about this.
But yeah, if Naruto's war is actually handled epically in the anime; going at a fast pace, animated well, and actually having very crowded scenes- I'm gonna be so mad. >3> Looks at the current OP war
-
Heh, I hope it doesn't just end with naruto suddenly jumping to hokage, though at this point looks like hes just gonna die and that will be the end. I hope he atleast becomes chuunin but kishi missed his window for that a long time ago, filling it with stupid sasuke.

Naruto should NEVER EVER EVER be Hokage. He has never shown any hokage characteristics at all. Naruto is never leading anyone, never squad leader, never in charge, ect. he is always just the follow directions and fight guy.
he is in all sense of the word the villages secret weapon. If this story was good at all and wanted to show Naruto to be like a hokage, he woudl be in Gaara's shoes right now.
now showing up towards end of war and beating the final boss. that is not being a hokage, being hokage is being a leader, not some super powerful weapon that can beat a villain.
Oh and how come they have that Immortal guy coming out of casket? don't those caskets work by like having to have at least one part of the former body to make them? that immortal is still buried in the ground ALIVE, why is he being brought back from the dead if he is ALIVE?
-

Because lolnaruto.

Ugh -_- in a manga you are supposed to at least LIKE the main character. How come each time I see Naruto in a new chap I just think he's a bigger dumbass than in the chap before? Even with this new powerup he has, he gives off the same dumbass vibes that he did when he was talking big and getting his ass handed to him as a child.
Secondly, I like how the war lineup thingy was done. I hope Shikamaru gets some spotlight moments, his plans are always kickass.
Thirdly, oh crap. Asuma, man. Dammit, I genuinely liked him.
EDIT: I'm going to give this chapter a Green Incest Machine, because I liked seeing drawings of the rookies together again and Asuma. I'm nice like that.
-
Gaara is a former psycho and he has more kage potential than Naruto ever did.
-
Hmm. Does anyone else think that last panel with Yamato is….awkward? Or is it just me

unless this battle takes 10 years, don't expect anything more than the battles we saw in one piece. there are 3 ways this battle can go
1. the bleach way, takes 10 years to show all one on one fights
2. the naruto way, have everyone get taken out super quick and watch naruto beat all the bad guys while rest watch.
3. the one piece way, barely hint and show each persons fight while making it seem like a chaotic war, while concentrating on the main character.though 3 is kind of impossible since Naruto is NOT THERE.
-
Yo yo yo! Just got finished reading the chapter yo!
…
Naruto is getting progressively more retarded.
The war has me intrigued (the set up for who's doing what looks alright).
Kabuto's line up didn't seem too bad, but then the last set just made me face fault.
Everyone after Zabuza and Haku just stretched my suspension of disbelief to its breaking point. -
Hmm. Does anyone else think that last panel with Yamato is….awkward? Or is it just me
Not just you. Trust me.
-
I hope he atleast becomes chuunin but kishi missed his window for that a long time ago, filling it with stupid sasuke.
Naruto swore back in the exams he didn't care if failed the test, and that he would become Hokage without ever being chunin rank if that was the way it needed to be.
Post timeskip I kind of liked the fact that his gallavanting around and (not) training with Jiraiya meant he'd missed the test another 3 years straight, and so was the only one of the rookies that WASN'T a Chunin at that point. It was following up on that determination, and promise. Fun that way.
Of course, now he's getting dumber and dumber…
Really, it doesn't matter if during the war the others all get a fight or not. Its still irrelevant. Naruto was leagues beyond everyone during Pain, and he's had another power upgrade of leagues since then.
Still, its probably a good thing all these methods of ressurection are now available, since Naruto HAS to lose the 9 tails before its all said and done so the 10 tails can be summoned.
Oh, and a side note. WHile its neat to se all the kids in uniform, I'm guessing Kishi's playing the Toriyama card there... Dressing them all the same so he doesn't have to keep track of unique designs.
-
Not just you. Trust me.
I think Kishi is actually trying to put at least one awkward scene every chapter, and every once in a while just blatantly draw animal penises. Btw, I've been refreshing the Creativity Forum page for a while now. Waiting for ur review Gabz…. U know...just saying... no pressure though
<edit>Oh.. there it is. Sweet. Thanks Gabzy</edit>

The thing about One Piece is that, after the two-year timeskip, we saw the fruits of Luffy's (and the other Strawhats's) labor. In contrast to two years ago when all of the Strawhats (including Luffy) had to use all their combined strength to take down a single Pacifista, Luffy was now able to defeat one in a single punch.
Naruto? Well…he passed the bell test......using a cheap underhanded tactic.
