But then they would actually be useful for something other than gasping at how strong old zombies are.
We can't have that.
They are not even doing that or doing their usual job as chearleaders.
So no sympathy for me to any of them.

Yeah, that's the problem with war arcs. We need to assume that everytime character vanishes, they are just staring into the air with empty, dead eyes.
It was the same at Marineford, really, altough Oda's arc is still many time superior to Kishimoto's.
"War Arc" I still find very difficult to attribute to this ninja battle. Also the Marineford one, but even moreso this one.
Main thing being is that you have at least the majority of the force right here at this focal point, and there really is only one combatant to focus your efforts on. The kages made this big uproar saying things along the lines of making an impact now that they've shown up, and suddenly, nothing.
There's a new REAL Naruto chapter, guys! And, as always, it's so much better than the crap we're trying to discuss in this thread!

Honey, I Shrunk the Ninjas.
Yep, another good chapter.

My biggest WHAT of recent years was "HOLY SHIT, THERE WERE SOLDIER PILLS IN NARUTO ONCE!"
"there are pills to decrease the size of akamichi clan"
small detail, can't remember if this part also mentioned in another naruto
The spinoff doesn't matter, as long as they exist in the main story it's okay.
I will never see the appeal of that series. you can't Chibi-polish a naruto-turd.

That's why no one tried to polish it. It's a series about Rock Lee - the best thing to come out of Kishimoto's series.

Naruto was good once upon a time.
The Rock Lee series exists in that period, and focuses on the best character. Where there were characters with distinct personalities, motivations, plots and comedy.
If it wasn't chibi style it would cause far too much competition to the main series, being clearly and radically better in every way, and basically, being what we wanted Naruto to be all along.

I like the idea of it to a certain degree, but when you consider just how much the whole chibi aspect of it holds it back from being awesome…well I can't help but feel bitter. (The disappointment I felt when I realised it totally removed the fitting aspects of the story)

and how is that a bad thing. Hehe
It could finish on the current events just fading away to darkness, and then eyes opening to reveal rock lee waking from a dream. Him looking out side to see naruto run past, being chased by the local konoha citizens. Sasuke and gaara totally alone, and no sai anywhere.
Why not just allow his brother to do the rock lee series? At first I was joking, until I couldn't find a legitimate reason why not.

Once you open your mind (and heart) to the series, you'll realize that the chibi aspect doesn't really hold anything back from it and pretty much helps accentuate the ridiculousness that happens in the chapters.

Because Kishimoto and his twin aren't involved at all in the writing of this? It's the main reason why this spinoff is so good lol. Remember, this bro is the one who wrote "666 Satan", and would you really want that person to handle Rock Lee and his ninja pals?
Tbh I'm getting rather bored of the war. Yeah it was exciting at first but now they're just dragging it out to make the series artifically longer. I've a strong gut feeling this is the last big hurrah for the series and they want to draw it out as long as possible. Just let Naruto/Sasuke kill Madara, have Naruto become Hokage and end it. The series has been quite long as is.

You write this as if any of us were excited by ninja vs zombies and plant men even initially.
We've been waiting for this to come to a conclusion for what feels like ages now.

Yeah. Its all just fluff now. They could have easily ended it with Obito. Madara is completely unnecessary. I do read the manga each week but I keep hoping they'll do something to speed it up.

Thank you. Stupid and poorly executed as Obito was, at least Kishi had some thematic and narrative weight behind him hat made him make sense as the climatic final boss (as opposed to Sasuke, who will be more of a cooldown fight at the end). Madara has nothing. He's just some absurdly powerful old dude, but outside of that, he is nothing. He represents nothing. He's just kind of there. There isn't a shred of importance to this fight from a narrative standpoint. No reason that it has to happen. Madara really should have been dealt with before Obito to be honest
Genjutsu or real?
!

Was there ?? I thought it was just a hissy fit thrown by a brat, who idiotically blamed the world because his secret fap material got killed in the line of duty for an occupation that both of them willingly signed up for knowing all the dangers that accompanied the job.
Then again, I don't have an IQ of 180, so maybe it's just me.
Genjutsu or real?
the girls are gonna sacrifice themselves good riddance
ive also read a theory that madara controlled obito with spiral and theres something inside his body??
wonder if hes gonna get screwed over again! :( lol
But that only means that Kishi will be spending several chapters to 'revive' them, further drawing out this piece of shit final battle.

Nardo and Bleh: WHO SHOT YA, MUTHAFUCKA GOT SMOKED
End it here Kishi, end it here!!!!
only way it could get more awesome is if he keeps them dead and has Rock Lee become the main character and clean shit up, and after a few chapters of Rock Lee being awesome names the series "Rock Lee: Why didn't we kill those fuckers sooner"
But who is going to say dattebayo every second, and be angsty? Who is going to pull powerups out of their ass? Who is going to be the object of annoying fangirls' affections "Sauce iz da kewlest and hautest!!!111"
Okay, I won't lie, that's probably one of the best color pages Kishi's put out in a long time.
I am dying at Hinata's faceplant. You go girl.
Why is the alliance in Kyubi mode again?
where da poop did spiral come from? i wonder if hes a perfect hashi clone?
Well, I might as well.
!
Why is the alliance is Kyubi mode again?
they still have what Naruto left them with perhaps….a fixed chakra...
very unusual color page from Kishi..i don't remember when did he draw such detailed cover last time...
And the color page is about all there was good about this chapter.
-Where did Spiral guy come from? Is that possessed Obito?
-Why did the Third Hokage counter the elemental attacks with the same elementals? Wouldn't it have made more sense to attack with the elementals that were strong against them?
-Did Hinata just trip and fall flat on her face? Jesus fuck Kishi.
-And this chapter mostly consists of people whining about how useless they are.
Okay, actually there was one other good thing about this chapter, and that was Sasuke going down like a punk bitch (though it's diminished by the fact that I know he's going to be revived and be back to his smug OP self soon enough).

Don't bring such negativity to the thread, if Naruto's taught us one thing over the years, besides pee jokes are funny, Black People are awesome, and if you write a dark series about genocidal ninjas it will ultimately deteriorate into giant pokemon battles with a watered down version of Jesus, it's that if you believe in something anythings possible
so if we just believe that Naruto and sasuke will die and this series will become good again it will….. won't it..... guys?
Q. Where the fuck did this new dude come from ??
A. Probably from Kishi's ass, just like everything else.
Also, I laughed at the part where that masked guy comments 'all jinchuuriki die when the bijuu is removed, that is an absolute rule'. Only when its not, and that rule just changes as Kishi sees fit.
Sakura and Karin's faces on the last page look SO BAD
That guy's black Zetsu (notice the overlapping speech bubbles.
But man that faceplant was so damn hilarious, what the hell's wrong with Kishi ?
the color page maybe a hint that naruto will get the 3rd part, robo-apocalypse
-Why did the Third Hokage counter the elemental attacks with the same elementals? Wouldn't it have made more sense to attack with the elementals that were strong against them?
Maybe the Third just forgot the element chart. At least I did. (Besides remembering that for some reason electro beats ground.)
And Madara has all the Bijuus, hasn't he? So Bee perishes as well, but no one cares…?
Everyone show Sakura's face to people you know and see if they can guess what emotion is being expressed.
So, we can all agree that in the end the black-haired chick that you can eat to get healed will give away her life to revive Sasuke and Sakura will pull out a bullshit jutsu that gives life to Naruto, but takes her life in the process?
What did I just read?! Bowl Movements? WHAT?!
Let them die then Kishi and let this manga be over already :pouty:
This chapter is hilarious.
http://www.mangapanda.com/naruto/662/7
Random Tobi thing:"I asked you how it feels to have a bowel movement. Well, i think it resembles how refeshed you feel…after killing a person."
That guy's black Zetsu (notice the overlapping speech bubbles.
thats spiral. the overlap was them speaking at the same time like they do.
also its personality seems more evileeee and hes standing like madara
What did I just read?! Bowl Movements? WHAT?!
Better don't give Kishi notions. Like in order to beat Madara, instead of another round of tug o' war you have to play a round of bowling with the Bijuus as pins.
@Aru:

May as well. We all know the inevitable revival jutsu is going to bring everyone back to life anyway.
And apparently no chapter next week. No Kishi! We simply must know what content you could possibly churn out that could pad this arc out even further!
My God! This story never ends! It just keeps going and going and going and going and going and going and going and going and going and going and going and going and going and going and going and going and going and going and going and going and going and going and going and going and going and going and going and going and going and going and going and going and going and going and going and going and going and going and going and going and going and going and going and going and going and going and going and going and going and going and going and going and going and going and going and going and going and going and going and going and going and going and going and going and going and going and going and going and going and going and going and going and going and going and going and going and going and going and going and going and going and going and going and going and going and going and going and going and going and going and going and going and going and going and going and going…
....and going.
