Hey everyone! Sorry for my late post. I just wanted to make sure that I organized my thoughts as clearly and methodically as possible. Ironically this chapter was sort of light on new content. Truth be told it was light on content period. The first page begins with Itachi’s spirit vacating to ninja heaven while leaving behind the body needed to bring him to this world.
I was hyped for this week’s chapter for a multitude of reasons. The first one was Sasuke’s reaction to Itachi’s lasts words. He’s been through quite an emotional roller-coaster throughout this battle. A lot of us expected this though and have asked one single question. What will he decide to do pertaining to Konoha? I believe that Itach has somewhat moved him but not completely. If anything I think he’ll decide to help the shnobi alliance but only to the extent of preserving the ninja world long enough for him to burn it down. Next we’re shown some nice reaction shots of the Edo Tensei being released. As much as I love kishi’s illustrations I’m more interested in the dialog between the characters. Especially at this point in the war. The next panel shows us the Kages on what they have decided is the aftermath of their battle with one of the founders of Konoha. I read some of the comments from last week and it looks like the general conesus was that Madara would sustain himself through some unusual means. But we’ll get back to that later. The battlefield shifts to Dan realizing that he is no longer bound by the user’s will and can move on his own accord. 
Understanding this he convinces Chōza to release the barrier so he can go to Tsunade. His timing couldn’t be better because just as he possesses Tsunade he ends up saving her life from Madara’s continuing onslaught. We are treated to a conversation between the two former lovers that, in my opinion, was nothing we didn’t already know. I honestly thought she was going to mention Naruto or how she believes he is going to be the next Hokage or maybe even be treated to a previous experience that Dan had with Tobi; Anything to give us some insight into the story. Seeing dan helps to re ignite Tsunade’s resolve which is shown through the next panel showing her reinvigorated and sporting some new charka. It is implied that Dan gave her some of his before he left which would kind of explain why he left in such a hurry. After witnessing the “tear-jerker” The chapter’s story climaxes on Madara’s Outrageous boast. Not only is there a way to completely break Edo Tensei on his end (other than the method used by Itachi) but he can keep ALL the benefits of it. 
Ok I was ready to swallow the Army of Susanoo, The near perfect Justus, Obtaining the Rinnegan in this form, but come on this is getting seriously ridiculous. I once thought that one Kage was going to die but it’s shaping up to look like ALL of them could be knocking on death’s door. Unless we are introduced to a twist that Madara was like Itachi and he has been watching over Konoha from the shadows. Highly unlikely but It could be possible. Or he has a grudge against Tobi and wants to take him out before them. How cool would that twist be? Madara kills Tobi and takes his spot as the ultimate antagonist while resurrecting an army of dead Uchiha while making the last of them (Sasuke) his general to continue the devastation of the ninja world. Here’s hoping that were working up to a twist like that. All in all this chapter was just padding. From reaction shot to reaction shot I was just waiting for a full meal but all I was treated to was a bit sized candy bar. Luckily I have a huge sweet tooth so it’ll satisfy me until the next chapter.
P.S The latest installment to VS. is up guys/girls so feel free to check it out. The voting will close next Wednesday so hurry over to that article to voice your opinions and take a peek at the shocking results of the poll!

SHANNARO!!! 
FIRST
Awesome Chapter review…..i wonder if Dan is the only one capable of using that spirit jutsu? is it a Bloodline?
Hat exactly is so great about Dan jutsu. And what happens to his body when he does soul switch
Dan’s ghostbusters technique has so much potential but doubt we’ll see it again!
Madara raising the dead uchiha’s with general sasuke would be the 5th ninja war an very unlikely however it is possible that we’ll get Team Uchiha – Madara, Tobi an Sasuke vs Kages, Naruto, Bee and Ninja Jonin an by some weird twist – the 1st an maybe 4th hokage if they can somehow get them from the belly of thee beast!!
Yeah I agree with Tensa.
If DAN can fuse with the frogs and gather Nature Chakra and then Dan will transfer it to Naruto..
Then that would be infinite SAGE CHAKRA for naruto. 🙂
Dans jutsu just reminds of an more advance Ino Yamanska mind jutsu
@sylloge: I agree with you 100%! This suped up Madara is just ridiculous. But honestly, this is Tsunade’s fight. She is the only Kage with chakra at this point to do anything, and as the 1st’s daughter (and the most underrated kage) this is probably her opportunity to redeem herself in the eyes of the readers. But as I mentioned, this is all Aizen -syndrome and to be honest, it is just plain annoying
I only have this to say about BIG MAGNUM and his powers. Are they getting a little out if hand…Yes, but people are saying he’s just randomly pulling these jutsu. Let’s get one hing straight, no ninja that I can remember in this whole Naruto story has invented a jutsu in the heat of battle. They may have invented one, practiced it and then debuted it in battle but not create one in the heat of battle. So this means all these suped up jutsu BIG MAGNUM has been displaying is something he practiced during the time he had the rinnegan when he was alive or he read it from the Uchiha tablets(but this still would require practice to learn them). In my opion that’s not called hacked powers or random pulls, that’s doing your homework and putting the knowledge gained to good use. So in conclusion, BIG MAGNUM had to have the rinnegan long enough to practice all these jutsu when he was alive. We. never saw Nagato pull a random jutsu out, and he had the rinnegan. Even when he revived everyone,he knew he could do that because he had studied the powers of the rinnegan and knew what all he could do. That is all.
@ uchiha, it is a hack because he keeps getting power up from his ars with reasons that contradict the original story. So far every edo got pawned but him and the all had kabuto power up. Before this war I dont think to many people would of gave mardara a chance to beat 2 kages, let alone all of them and it’s because before the war he couldn’t. Then lush does some major ars pull and now mardara is the this monster. To be honest I’m growing tired of kish changing his mind and being inconsistent as I’m sure others are. On a separate note I’m curious to see what happens between mardara and tobi. I don’t think the Nina world is big enough for both of them and I don’t see sauske teaming up with mardara since he killed the uchiha and sauske want to redeem them
@Team
Normally I would agree with Kishi pulling some pretty random loopholes, but this timei don’t really consider this being one. Now is BIG MAGNUM really overpowered……yes, but so was the Raikage’s father when they brought him back(still one of Kishi’s lamest wins for Naruto), is BIG MAGNUM going beyond his normal means because of the rinnegan and senju dna…yes, but take this for example…Look at the power boost Naruto got from the nine tai’s chakra, but he had to learn how to control his power. All I’m saying is I think BIG MAGNUM had learned all these jutsu when he got the rinnegan. He just didn’t have the body or chakra to use them to their fullest. Which may be how he died, by practicing his new rinnegan powers and depleted all his chakra, but I also believe some things he learned on his on, like the meteor thing someone knew already when they saw that tech that I was the real Madara’s. His were bigger than Nagato’s I believe he was strong enough to create them that big without the senju chakra.
@uchiha he is pulling stuff out his ass cause He lets be real; AFTER the battle with the first madara had enough time to master the rinnengan techs, wood release,perfect sussanno, an o btw he knows how to use edo tensei or at least dispell it (which btw is odd seeing as how kabuto didnt control him for much the battle as he had no talismen an kabuo himself told madara to demonstrate wht he could do. So how come madara didn’t release than?)And people aren’t mad at him using them in battle they r mad that he is CONSTANTLY getting more. Yea u can say o he know how to use them but let’s say he also had some of the Kyuubi chakra to call on. Yea it’s plausible he could but again it’s too much. Kishi needs to tone down his uchiha love….. I’m done with madara honestly. Seeing him with the rinnengan sure I see that. Wood jutsus is punching it but I said fine I can kind of see that. But now a perfect susanno AND knows edo tensei that’s a little too much
And uchiha the meteors r bigger probaby cause madara was infused with senju chakra. Don’t forget the firsts face on his chest
1) It’s possible madara released the jutsu only when kabuto released control completely by dispellin it. Or perhaps he just wanted to keep an element of surprise(not that he needs it)or maybe he simply released the jutsu a while back without kabuto’s knowledge.
2) Did the 1st hokage really won the fight between them? He obtained all this abilities if he died shortly after his fight, and I don’t believe the first hokage would’ve walked away if he had these abilities beforehand. Was he expected to be ressurrected by someone, if he knew edo tensei as well has having the rinnegan? Did He plan all this?
wow, really need to proofread what i type sometimes…………..nah 😛
Madara planned to be resurrected by Nagato using the Rinnegan. That being said, he must have knew what the Rinnegan could do. As for Hashirama’s wood techs, Madara fought him on several occasions, so even though he didn’t plan on ever using those techs, because I don’t think he did, it doesn’t mean he couldn’t use them if he had the chance to. He has the sharingan and he saw Hashirama use those techs against him many times. Perfect Susanoo came with his EMS (I THINK) and he had plenty of time to learn Edo Tensei, because he did live in the same time as the 2nd Hokage and most likely longer than that considering he knew who Nagato was…
We should wait for the upcoming chapters and maybe Kishi would provide the fill for the missing parts/loopholes in the story.
I really like your review keep up the good work.
As for comments on Naruto, well I will just say I’ll wait for the next chapter. 🙂
@Token
Madara couldn’t break out of edo before Kabuto releases it. Kabuto doesn’t have to be in control the whole time to stop the edo bodies from misbehaving. He can place restriction on the edo bodies beforehand. http://manga.animea.net/naruto-chapter-525-page-17.html
You can see there that Kabuto wasn’t controlling the kages but the kages couldn’t exactly control their own body as if their body has a mind of its own. This is part of the reason why Madara couldn’t release edo before kabuto canceled it. It’s not a loophole.
I don’t think there is a loophole or he’s overated c’mon… it’s madara we’re talking about here
1)a true badass legend
2)creator of konaha
3)first person to acquire MS
4)the only person who could take head on with a man who tamed the 9 bijuu(first hokage)
5)a man who could could control the kyubi
6)
7)
perharps you could fill the empty space,i mean he should greater than any ninja living,dead or in the ninja heaven,infact the jutsu he has shown isn’t enough we haven’t exactly seen his full biography(like naruto) he may have worked hard while young and learn these jutsu
Outside the wood jutsu, and now having suped up chakra there is no proof that BIG MAGNUM hadn’t learned all these jutsu when he obtained the rinnegan. In fact there is prob more evidence of him living a pretty good while after their fight. Like how he new Nagato, like how he learned edo, like him developing this whole plan to be brought back one day. This is how I see it happened, he read enough of the scroll to know he needed some seju/uzumaki dna to obtain the rinnegan. He got it, and started training and learning the new jutsu, but then because he had the rinnegan he read more of the tablet and realized just like kabuto and orochinaru and tobi, that you need a full body of an senju/uzumaki to take full advantage of the rinnegan not just a little dna and then he started a plan to get one over many years of planning, but over this time he kept training with the rinnegan, but the effects on his uchiha body were to great until he began to die but he developed a second plan by creating tobi to give his eyes to a young uzumaki child (i.e) nagato and he had learned that the rinnegan could bring people back by practicing with it or reading the tablet. So tobi gave his eyes to nagatto bring him back at a later time,that’s why tobi said that technique was for him, because he was created out of BIG MAGNUM’s and the 1sts dna, and he still remembered the original plan, but tobi got greedy, and then kabuto and oro came along and thwarted tobi’s plan of using the rinnegan and put BIG MAGNUM’s pla back into effect, so tobi has been rushing to complete his plan before kabuto brought the original back, but now has failed at that. Just my theory also another theory could be BIG MAGNUM used the rinnegan to bring his brother back and before he died, he gave his brothers eyes back to him and told him to formulate a plan using a uzuamki child to bring him back as well, so tobi could be his revived brother, and because tobi helped kill all the uchiha he got a whole lot of eyes and implanted them in himself and gave the original set to nagato until the time came to take them back bu that never happened. Just some theories that could explain a lot, and both of which are very plausible.
Madara didn’t have the chance to train using his renningan. He died before he could do that. He clearly stated that he achieve renningan at the brink of death when he lost against the 1st hokage. His severely injured body would’ve died shortly after that fight before getting the chance to use his new renningan powers. This is why Madara had to have achieved perfect Susanoo way before getting the renningan.
@nss
If he died right after how did he know about Nagato?
You can be at the brink of death without actually dying, that’s how saiyans got stronger quickly, lol. But seriously you can be at the brink of death without dying.
meh, based from two uchihas we know most about, Uchihas requires little training to gain power an knowing how to use it.
If we are going to look the war on a high level perspective, it seems that it is a war of Uchiha.
Tobi started a war which he calls himself an Uchiha, Sasuke is an Uchiha, Itachi who defeated Kabuto which in turns releases the EDO ZOMBIES and here we are , the great UCHIHA leader, MADARA.
I like to interuppt this blog to bring to you this important video:
@darthuchiha My friend went to the expo to see this live when Rivenx3i presented it. It’s things like this that gives me hope for live action anime. Then i realize that hollywood probably wouldn’t let people like this have full control over their projects…..
Sylloge? What happened to good ol’ Bob?
he is dead
I knew those laser cats of his would get him someday. May our tyrannical overlord rest in peace.
