Minato and Kakashi are about to fight Black Zetsu, that's why they aren't there.

 

Chapter up.

And before all the "ooh power hax" comments come pouring in, I'd like to point out that this is the guy (Madara) who was the equal of the guy that leashed and leased out all the Bijuus (Hashirama) to all the villages of today. He's become more powerful after the other guy went dead for a while.

So, frankly anything Madara can do is actually acceptable to me.

And I lulz hard everytime people keep expecting and applying real-life scenarios/science to freakin Naruto Manga. If he can pop in an eye and reattach an arm, its just Magic. Or Chakra. As long as it vaguely complies to the rules within the manga, its totally cool. Even in cases that don't, exceptions are totally acceptable since we're talking about God-Level characters within the manga.

 

Nah, that was retarded. Power creep is fucking annoying. Getting tired of this, honestly. Can the fucking Manga just end now and release us all from this torture?

 

Meh Hashirama pulled this off too, although if Naruto loses his status as Jinchuuriki at the end of the manga I will rage >.>

 

I doubt Hashirama did it all at once.

 

Bah, I expect we still have another 50 chapters or so to go. Madara hasn't actually reformed the Juubi or become it's Jinchuuriki yet, and Naruto hasn't come close to giving up completely yet at the (apparent) loss of Kurama only to reaffirm his beliefs and unlock his eleventh hour superpower and have a showdown with Madara.

And then of course, after Madara seems to be beaten, he comes back with a twisted/corrupted mega-form.

/done channeling inner syed

 

Probably not, but considering the stuff we've seen him do at this point I wouldn't be shocked if he could.

 

Thus my point about power creep being bullshit.

 

Somewhat. The explanation that Orochimaru's Edo was incomplete was enough for me. I mean, Nagato soloed the Leaf Village, and his ancestors who grew up in a time of constant war being able to do the same makes sense to me.

 

Nagato soloing the Leaf Village is one thing. He had the Rinnegan, was taught by Jiraiya, had surprise, and opened with one massive attack that decimated their forces. Doing so also severely restricted his power for some time after the fact. That was, in my mind, the highest level of power creep that didn't fall into 'retarded'. Everything after "I solo entire Ninja Villages" is just beyond the pale, as far as I'm concerned. Even that is iffy.

At this point, Madara could probably solo the entire combined might of the Shinobi Allied forces PRE War if there was no Mega-Shinobi like Hashirama or Naruto (to a degree) to stand up to him.

Its tolerable only because I've dedicated years and years to this series. If it was a new series I'd be rolling my eyes and writing it off a hundred chapters ago.

 

My point was along the lines that the power creep is Nagato's fault. But yeah, Part 1 never hinted at any of the ridiculous shit that is happening now.

 

THANK YOU! Finally some explanation as to why the second strongest Ninja ever fights like pre time-skip Naruto. It's good to know that he actually CAN be ninja like, but simply says 'fuck it'.

Meh. Bijuu are nothing right now. Less than nothing, they actually have a negative influence by being the bad guys' goal but useless for the good guys.

 

I hope Kishi would explain where the fuck all other Senju? Did they die or what?

 

Does it really matter? They all sucked anyway (except the nidaime and Tsunade), since they didn't have mokuton like haxirama.

 

Chapter Up.

Somebody pet the cute raccoon.
:3

 

Wow! To be honest, I didn't expect Kishi to take Kyuubi from Naruto. Next chapters should be interesting...

 

Is it too much to ask for the guy who says "chapter up" to also provide a fucking link?

 

New chapter with a side-order of new news.

 

Kishimoto also goes on to say: ...and “From the beginning of the series I always thought about Sasuke becoming Hokage”

WTF?!

 

That news is worrying. "I've always wanted Sasuke to be Hokage!"...
