"Yeh've forged a magnificent sword."

"This one's only practice. The real sword I intend to forge will be three times longer."

"Can there really be a sword as monstrous as that in this world?"

"Yes. I can see that sword... Somewhere out there..."

Dude, what the hell. That isn't just spoilers, that's a scene about half an hour away from the very end of the game. An important scene and a game which has nothing to do with this. Remove that.

The best ending possible would be for Sasuke to show up, for Naruto to run over and start to a friendship speech, and Sasuke to hold up his hand and say "No, I'm cool now. I just had some things to work out on my own. Orochimaru helped a lot. We're all going to help save the Leaf now."

Sasuke hasn't had any of his own agency between his fight with Itachi and him meeting up with Zombie Itachi.


The only reason he didn't go back to Konoha after killing Itachi is pretty much because Tobi/Madara lied to him and gave him a reason to hate Konoha by telling him the "truth". Which filled in enough of the holes in information that Sasuke had that he believed it.

And then Tobi/Madara proceeded to put Sasuke in enough fights(with Zetsu just funneling chakra to him so he had functionally infinite) where he had to spam his Sharingan to accelerate the rate at which Sasuke went blind and insane.

Sasuke's actions also make more sense now that we know that developing magic eyeballs messes with your head. Before, it seemed like he was simply on a power trip.

It's not that they mess with your head, its that Uchiha who are traumatized brooding assholes are rewarded with more powerful magic eyeballs, thus providing reinforcement for self-destructive behavior. You can get your magic eyeball fix if you just kill your best friend, maaaaan.

I kind of like Kakashi and Obito going off to fight in Kamui-land. It lets them have their little soul-to-soul without having it occur randomly in the middle of the Top Ten Most Powerful Beings Ever Free-For-All Showdown!!! that will be commencing shortly.

Oh hi Sakura.

Things getting worse was a given, otherwise the undead Kages plus Orochimaru plus Sasuke's plot shield would have ended the war. I was expecting something more specific than GAAAH UNLIMITED POWER but there you have it. I suppose next chapter will deal with the implications and will have more of Naruto's and Obito's TNJ rap battle, because clearly that never gets old.

Madara loses the smug, above-it-all attitude and goes completely nuts. We all know what that means; the countdown has begun. The only question is, if he and Hashirama fight alone and Kakashi will be dealing with Obito, what will Naruto, Sasuke and the rest do? Set up camp, roast marshmallows and sing kumbaya? The good guy / bad guy ratio is just completely lopsided. Kishi will have to either quickly get rid of some of the good guys (probably Orochimaru and the dead Kages) or turn them into mere fodder in front of Madara's new form.

Naruto says maybe he's just being selfish. Where have I heard that before

I think its just a one shot, for now at least. But Kishimoto has literally been planning on writing it since about as long as he has been doing Naruto. He mentioned the concept in one of the notes for an earlier volume. Wouldn't be surprised if he wants to do it as his next series.

Yeah I remember reading that he wanted to wrap up Naruto so he could get on with making some mafia series. This was a bit before the ninja war started, when the pace started picking back up.

Agreed, it was probably my favorite part of the chapter, even with Madara's reaction to sensing Hashirama and Obito and Kakashi screwing each other in to another dimension. Also, Obito's line that he should probably become the 10-tails jinchiruuki now makes me think Sasuke is going to redeem himself by becoming the 10-tails jinchiruuki and either bogging off on his own to tame it through the power of friendship on a journey together, talking it around to sacrificing itself to stop something or just plain letting Naruto kill him to off it.

I guess that's how Sasuke can match up with Naruto. Sasuke gets the 10 tails and instantly knows how to control it thus giving him the power up to match evenly with Naruto.
