    Sure, she could have just killed herself. But that just wouldn't be dramatic enough, it has to be the love of her life that kills her.

    Well, yes, that explains it from the author's perspective. I don't think anyone is disputing that that is the reason why it was done that way. Author wants to make it dramatic.

    Ideally, however, it will also make sense in context. Otherwise you have a bunch of irritated readers because you didn't bother to plug in plot holes and set things up properly.

    Rin's obviously a romantic.

    Alternatively, she hasn't got any weapons on her (and Kakashi doesn't plan on giving her any) and it might not be possible to use chakra scalpels on yourself. At least no effectively enough for suicide. Plus it might have been easier for her to face it by having Kakashi do it rather than actually killing herself. Or Mist did something that would prevent her from doing it so she had to seek a roundabout method.

    It's too vague. I think we need Kakashi to expand on what happened but I'm not sure if it's gonna happen.

    Chapter was epic.

    http://www.mangapanda.com/naruto/630/1

    I get the feeling Naruto had a hint he was coming or something, maybe he can communicate with him due to Kyubi?

    Also, cue Sakura's "DAD!?" screech.

    The Juubi transformation references were over 9,000!

    Or was I the only one that noticed?

    Can't wait for everyone's reaction to the dad comment.

    Yeah, shit is about to get epic.

    Hah, I hope this is going to be as awesome as I hope it will be.


    Jyuubi looks like something out of pokemon. "Evolution."

    Just me, or does the Juubi's transformed form look like a Rafflesia?

    Yeah It looked like a cross of Vileplume's and Venasaurs's petal's with Slowbro's shell on its back.

    Well, the Jyubi looks no more or less silly than he did before, so, at this point, there is really nothing to be done about that.

    Ino and Shikamaru doing stuff made me happy.

    Sakura's speech was boring and lackluster and it seemed to me, that it should have come from a different person.

    Conversation between Obito and Kakashi felt pointless but that may be due to the fact that ever since it was revealed that it was Obito, I can't take him seriously any more. It is ridiculously obvious that Kakashi will lecture and beat him.

    Also, am apparently still a sucker for last second rescues if they are done by epic characters, so yeah, really liked Minato pretty much backhanding the Jyuubi's attack as if it was nothing. If there had been any tension, it would have disappeared with the unleashing of the four hokage's on the good side of the team. I just want to see them be epic and mess things up, at this point.

    Okay chapter, got better with its last page.

    Did I miss something? Why is Naruto unsurprised that his dead-and-gone, sealed forever in the stomach of the God of Death father is in front of him? I don't remember him being in Sage Mode, and as far as has been explained, KCM only allows him to sense negative emotions, not people.

    I was thinking Venusaur when reading the chapter.

    Anyways, chapter was preachy as fuck. The dialogue has been shitty terrible in the war part, I hope they get back into fighting.

    Im thinking it might be the same way he sensed the Gold/Silver brothers on turtle island because they had part of the nine-tails in them. Minato has the other half, so, maybe that?

    Lol. I just thought the Juubi turned around, enlarged and opened up its asshole, and finally shot a turd towards all the shinobi. Cause you know, Juubi doesn't give a complete shit.

    ...Yeah. My mind. The Devil is afraid to build a workshop inside it.

    This just shows how incredible Minato was, and without a doubt he is the fastest shinobi in the manga. Epic, epic entrance.

    Yay Kakashi for not angsting when confronted with his delusions.

    Also, Tobitos "reality sucks, thats why I'll Tsukuyomi everyone", I suppose that kind of makes sense, though if he isn't interested in the truth, he could just Tsukuyomi himself into believing he suceeded in Tsukuyomiing everyone ...

    Someone really should point that out to him. Why drag everyone into your fantasy when you can do it on your own?

    Naruto just plays it cool. Acting like he is unsuprised in the face of impossibility.

    Or He thinks of it as Yondaime Fucking Hokage can do whatever fuck he want and no shinigami will stop him so why should he suprised?

    It's nice to see that the Hokages are finally entering the battle. Should be interesting to see what Madara can do when he is actually fighting seriously. The First alone could give him a good challenge, but with other three also present he will need to step up his game considerably.

    I wonder if we will see other Kages back before the battle ends. Tsunade may not be able to completely heal them that quickly, but maybe Hashirama can.

    Agree that it was nice to see Kakashi deal with things instead of angst about them. enjoyed his scene.

    Jyuubi still looks stupid. Which reminds me, do we have a reason for why it mostly just stands around doing nothing, tossing out a super-powerful attack every so often? It seems to be on a wait-wait-wait-BIGATTACK-wait-wait-wait type of schedule. If it's so much of a BAMF why doesn't it just run around and hit people or something?

    It just feels a little ridiculous. What (if anything) am I missing?
