I'm kinda worried about how overwhelming the good guy force is now - either we'll see a lot of new power from the other side, or a lot of good guys are going to die.

That's my wonder as well, as it seems like the tide has so heavily turned in one direction. Maybe Madara's Rinnegan will give him the edge somehow. Perhaps somehow takeover the bodies of the four Hokage?

The tide has turned but Madara hasn't exactly shown his full force at the moment. We're talking multiple moon drops here. 10-tails is small beans compared to that.

After seeing Kabuto pull it off, and the reformed Orochimaru, I kind of want to see what shenanigans Orochimaru could cause in the war if he became the Dragon Sage.

Since Naruto and Hashirama will be there too we could have a Toad/Snake/Slug Sage trifecta!

I hope Naruto simultaneously destroys the Edo Tensei Hokages and says something along the lines of 'this is this generations fight, not yours.' I just feel that we could do with some more sass in this manga right now.

Basically this story should culminate in a DBZ-style tournament epilogue where Zombie 4th and Naruto meet in the semi-finals and Naruto goes on to fight Sasuke in the finals.

Orochimaru is probably going to sacrifice himself for Sasuke or something which will remove Edo Tensei. Since Jiraiya's already dead and Tsunade is cut in half.

Killing the caster doesn't undo Edo Tensei.

Another thing is, even if Orochimaru goes full evil on us and tries to stop the kages from doing anything, he can't control the First, and he'd have to physically paralyse them too, since if he just undoes the jutsu, Tobirama has enough time to cancel the summoning contract on himself like Madara did, and I'm willing to bet that Kishimoto could bullshit up some reason why Minato could do it too since the four things we know about his powers are that he's fast, can teleport, has rasengan and is boss at sealing jutsu.

I know, but Orochimaru will be forced to remove it for Sasuke or something and then Madara takes him out.

That was a great chapter ruined only by the fact that Kishimoto insists on remembering that Karin exists.

Though Sasuke's uncomfortable face almost made up for that.

Part of Sasuke's problem is that, dead family aside, everything has always come too easily for him. It's why nobody's approval means much to him - it was always freely given (by Sakura, Karin, Naruto, even Orochimaru to an extent, etc etc). So of course the only one whose opinion meant much was the guy who was consistently ahead of him - maybe the one person in this whole universe who was more brilliant than he is.

I think this is a much better manga than a lot of people give it credit for.

Rainbow Pony Deluxe posted:

Still don't understand why anyone would ever trust Orochimaru again. He's quite literally a snake. Also, someone needs to get Karin a psychologist because there's no way she's not going to stab either Naruto or Sasuke at some point.

Probably has more to do with the fact there's 6-8 people around right now that could gently caress up Orochimaru in a heartbeat if he tried something. He's still strong and all but he wouldn't stand a chance against most of the current zombies alive or Naruto / Sasuke / probably Tsunade or Bee etc.

With his arms he would wreck Tsunade.

He was able to fight Tsunade and Jiraiya(albeit weakened with no arms).

Orichimaru will decimate physical damage opponents due to his skill set.

He and the 4th are equal. If he not a bit stronger.

His problem is that he fucks with the clan that can counter his move set by just using genjutsu
