    Katsuyu would be the big slug.

    I agree that there's been nothing to indicate Sakura has any summoning ability or has even signed the slug contract, and as you mentioned her chakra reserves are fairly low while summoning is extremely chakra-intensive. Besides, judging from the Tsunade-Jiraya-Orochimaru fight in Part I Katsuyu's not that great in a fight anyway; Katsuyu's an amazing support summon (Pain would have killed pretty much everyone in Konoha if not for Katsuyu), but her combat ability isn't that great.

    He still killed pretty much everyone.

    Pain killed a lot of people, but there were still a fair number of survivors before Pain pulled his reincarnation move.

    Even discounting that, Katsuyu's role as a communication link and the ability to let Tsunade do long-range medical ninjutsu are incredibly useful abilities, although once again not designed for direct combat.

    ...Sharingarm. Well, at least I can't say I was expecting that.

    That's...

    :awesome

    Danzo can still kick some ass, huh. Nice cripple, there =p The chapter name was stupid. Madara's true power? All he did was phase around and use that vacuum thingy, as usual. But Danzo... hmm, completely disregarding the weird shell he used to shield the arm, imagine where else Danzo has implanted some sharingans. There were plenty to go around, after all.

    And they are all uber sharingan's.

    To think, how many jutsu does he have because of them all? And the individual eye jutsu?

    And some mega jutsu combining all the sharingan's.

    You know it will happen.

    And Sasuke will just shrug them all off with his evil chakra bullshit.

    That was precisely my reaction as well. Danzo's arm having a bunch a Sharingans implanted in it was not what I expected, though I suppose it does explain what happened to all the eyes left over after the Uchiha massacre. Someone like Danzo wouldn't have let that many Sharingans go to waste...

    This chapter was weird, definitely weird. One one hand it further introduces us to two very bad ass characters that are Fu and Torune who have both very cool techniques. Also I like to be proven wrong on one account, I always though that the Yamanaka clan was more an interrogation, assassination and information gathering type clan, and I still stand to that, but Fu proved us that they are amazing in combat too.

    Yeah, without a doubt those two were the highlight of the chapter, I just loved to see that the Yamanaka and Aburame clan getting more screentime and showing us why exactly they are prominent clans of Konoha. If anything I would like to see more of them.

    But on the other hand it gives us even MORE sharingans. Look, I get it,Sharingans are cool. I know, I think so myself. But right when we think there can't possibly be more Sharingans around, it turns out that Danzo has an arm full of them? What the hell?

    Ok, I am pretty curious on what purpose that brings him in this fight, I seriously doubt he has the MS techniques for those eyes (you know, no friends and all that shit). Does it serve as a way to see everything around him so that even attacks from behind can be seen?

    We also know how Kakashi is drained by one Sharingan that isn't his, how exactly is Danzo fighting with twenty or so? It also looks pretty stupid and until now Itachi and kakashi were the only ones to pull off the cool Sharingan look and Danzo is definitely not joining that list.

    It was an interesting chapter at least but, well besides his cool subordinates I was disappointed by every scene Danzo was in so far.

    I love the thought process he must have had:

    "Hey there are a bunch of sharingans, I can take take one for myself and give the rest to my extremely loyal subordinates to make them even stronger or I can put all of them in my fucking arm. yeah, that sounds like a good plan"

    You would think having a couple dozen Kakashis around would be more useful than one Sharingan filled arm.

    As mentioned, there are some definate questions to be asked about how he can effectively use that arm, not to mention that with all the detection-types around you'd think an arm with several dozen sharingan in it might have gotten noticed at some point...

    Yeah, you'd think Hiashi would've seen it in council meetings?

    Well, that guy from Hidden Mist who has the stolen Byakugan did look at him and he could not see the Sharingan's only that he had Shisui's chakra. Still you are right, it should have been suspicious enough that one of the dozen or so Hyuugas and chakra sensing types should have noticed that there was something wrong with Danzo or that he had robbed the Uchiha clans corpses.

    It also means that acquiring a bloodline limit is easy as fuck since you only need to kill one and take whatever ability they have into your body and you will be fine to go. Surprises me that there are not more guys running around with stolen Bloodlinelimits

    Well, that method probably only works for bloodline limits like dojutsu that are tied to a specific part of the body; things like the various combination elements (Wood, Ice, etc) couldn't be transferred so easily.

    There's also the fact that people with bloodline limits go to a lot of trouble to protect them; the Hyuuga's Caged Bird Seal is designed specifically to stop people from stealing Byakugan eyes off dead Branch members, and it seems entirely possible other families with powerful bloodlines take similar measures.

    They still can still the eyes easily from a Main branch member (best example that mist guy) from someone like Hinata and as much as I like her, she would not be able to stop someone of Orochimaru's caliber to stop him from killing her and taking the eyes. I never really understood why they simply don't brand every Hyuuga with it and simply leave out the pain inflecting part, wouldn't that have been more logical? It would have solved every problem the Hyuuga clan has like the rightful dislike of the branch members.

    But you are right about the other bloodlines but as seen with Yamato, those can be transferred as well, even though it takes longer and has a low success rate.

    I just would have thought that once a Uchiha is dead, their Sharingan's cease to work since there is no chakra anymore. And we know from Kakashi that he can't turn his eye off and on and has to keep it open 24/7. So how did Danzo get all those eyes who were not activated since Itachi's attack was most likely a surprise attack. Also how did Madara get Shisuis arm and eye and the Uchiha police still thought it may have been suicide?

    And the fact that bloodlines are seen are bad in other countries and the Leaf is one of the few which encourages them.

    So most other bloodlines would most likely be kept in secret in fear of people hunting them down to steal them or just plain kill them.

    I still say Danzo will be able to pull off some stupid MS jutsu with all those Sharingan's. Having all been stolen and then maybe pushed to MS by Danzo.

    I was expecting an extending arm kind of like a puppet. Wondering how others he has. I would've put them in the back of my head. Seeing out of the back of your head ftw.

    Also, it goes up for mention who actually has the medical skill to impant fucking eyes, sharingan eyes at that, into a fucking arm and hand? And god knows where else.

    the casing around Danzou's Sharingarm probably has seals that prevent any sensory methods.
