The best part of the Madara-Kage fight will be the reaction of Madara to seeing Zombie-Hashirama. Finally someone worthy to fight!

Haha, If it were not such a great chapter in general, you would have been totally right. That was a particularly funny page, but tons of other stuff happened this week. It was pretty much distilled greatness in a chapter.

All that's missing is the ring.
I hope this entire thing was a giant nonsensical plot by Madara to fight Hashirama again when they were both in their prime because it was really fun and he lost the first time, and he turns around and tells Obito he's a loving idiot for thinking you could use a sharingan on the moon.

Well, physically, she is way up there. With Tsunade's training she is one of the physically strongest characters, and with a group battle, it's more likely that she'll be able to get some hits in. Even just a single punch or kick from her would wreck Madara's body, like we saw with Tsunade and Lee.

She mentioned being able to unleash her full power once she collects some more chakra. My guess is that she's got the stored chakra super-mode Tsunade has, and is about to let it loose.

Also, Mangastream's version is out.

This whole thing just reads like taking the least-effort path to wrapping this series up, writing wise. Sasuke's back! Give everyone a reaction shot and that should cover the 're-introduction after like forever' part. Oh and he's good now so I don't have to do any complicated or unorthodox solution between him and well anyone. And everyone can just react in half a page and then nod their head and that should cover the 'react to sasuke doing a 100% reversal' part.

Basically what i'm saying is this part has been built up for several years and was kind of the entire point of Sasuke's arc and now it's been flushed down the drain in like a few pages. Good show.

Oh and everyone is busting out powerups left and right because, well because they are just shut up and read my beautiful ninja trainwreck

No one has busted out a power-up out of nowhere. Sasuke issue was resolved kinda quickly then again the only thing keeping him from returning to Konoha after killing Itachi was Madara lying his rear end off to him. Once Sasuke had the truth it's pretty dumb for him to keep his grudge.

Plus keep in Mind it would be quite easy for Madara to say during any chapter "BTW I sharinganed the moon like 50 chapters ago, Sasuke is still evil and you all are caught in my genjutsu"

Sasuke, don't you realise that no one is gonna want you for Hokage the same reason no one wanted Madara? Namely that you are a crazy, murderous, unstable psycho who no one should trust further than they can spit?

I think I'm gonna stick with my prediction that Naruto will not become Hokage, but instead be nominated to some new leadership that encompass all five ninja nations. Like a Super-kage or something. Surpassing all the previous Hokage indeed.

It's really bizarre that Sasuke's character arc was resolved by someone other than Naruto after that was built up as the main conflict of the series literally chapter 3.

On the other hand, some of the worst parts of the manga were Kishimoto reaching for ways to keep Sasuke as an antagonist against all logic, so maybe one day he just decided to have the characters act reasonably even if it meant ditching that part of the overall narrative.

If they do that, then maybe they should let Sasuke be Hokage, just to gently caress with him. "You're now Hokage! Too bad it don't mean poo poo with Super-kage Naruto arround.:v:"

I'm hoping Sasuke will work hard to regain all that trust, he does have a number of extenuating circumstances assuming everyone hasn't be caught in mind control ninja magic; I wish that scene where Sasuke makes up his mind had him giving his internal thoughts on the matter.

Yea sure. Sasuke. We're gonna give one of the highest level of power and authority to a guy with a chemical imbalance that causes him to freak out whenever something bad happens. Because that's a sensible thing to do!

And that snarky remark about "letting bygones be bygones" loving rear end in a top hat. If anything this guy should be face down in the dirt BEGGING for the chance to fight together with them.

I'm pretty sure its "They get more powerful when something bad happens that forces them to freak out." Also Itachi was pretty stable and sensible acting aside.

The Second himself said it: The Uchiha can be incredibly loyal, dedicated and virtuous people, like Itachi was. But the Uchiha have an inbuilt reinforcement system that means that those who freak out and become emotionally unstable get rewarded for it, and Sasuke has already shown he has the emotional resilience of a wet paper bag, trusting him a stressful job like being leader of an entire nation's military would be a colossally stupid idea.
