You forgot Sasuke whose cursed seal is also a form of Sage mode and since he is being revived by Kabuto he may have a complete sage mode also. I dont think Kabuto will involve himself with Madara's fight. Tsunade and Raikage cant keep up at all.

I do wonder why the two toads have been forgotten. Can't they come on their own? Although this has happened all in one day.

Why did no one revive an Edo Tensei Jiraiya?

 

Sasuke has to rely on Senjutsu from Juugo. He no longer has a curse mark thanks to Itachi. Jiraiya would definately work, and I think the Elder Toads are useless unless one needs someone to collect NE for them.

 

Wasn't it because Jiraiya's body was inaccessible, so Kabuto didn't have his DNA? Why he didn't visit the local brothel for it, though...

 

a) Cursed Seal is not Sage Mode. Its a poor copy. You need to actually TRAIN in order to get Sage mode. Even Kabuto, who infused himself with Juugos cells (which are the basis of the cursed seals) had to practise with that snake to master true SM.

b) Sasuke does not have a cursed seal anymore. Itachi removed it. When Sasuke used a cursed seal!susanoo earlier, Juugo was the one who supplied it with natural energy. And I did list Juugo.

Sasuke alone cannot hurt Madara. He needs someone (either Juugo or Naruto) to imbue his attacks with Natural Energy.

Well, Hashirama did give him some technique to screw up with the Sage-chakra Madara was stealing from Hashirama. Its possible that Hashiramas technique allows Sasuke to steal Hashiramas Sage-chakra and take it for himself. That might potentially also give Sasuke a short NE boost.

Unless Kabuto is also transferring memories to Sasukes head, then no. Remember, Sage Mode is not somekind of trait like sharingan or Senju DNA. It is an actual SKILL.

Madara only came back because of Kabuto. Since Kabuto seems to be trying to redeem himself after being brainwashed by Itachi, it would be quite plausible for Kabuto to try and fix his previous mistake by helping against Madara.

They probably don't even know for sure whats happening. In order to come to help, someone would have to summon them. Minato cannot do it since he has no arms to form handseals, and Naruto is still half-dead.

Earlier, both Naruto and Minato could have summoned them, but neither did. Presumably due to PIS.

The official in-world explanation is that Kabuto could not reach Jiraiyas body to get DNA, because its so deep in the ocean. However this explanation is nonsense, since Orochimaru would surely have had DNA samples from Jiraiya. Not to mention all the blood from when Pain sliced off Jiraiyas arm.

The real explanation is probably that Kishi realised that Jiraiya had a good death scene, and bringing him back as a zombie would have ruined that.

wow...

 

wtf happened with Hagoromo's brother? And with part of Juubi that was sealed in him?

 

I know a lot of people are gonna rage about this, as usual. But I kinda liked this chapter. Not sure why though, lol.

 

I liked it myself. That was some interesting stuff.

 

My question exactly. And the sage of six paths sealed the Jyubi because it wanted its fruit back?

From the story I would think that First was a reincarnation of Ashuura then Madara was the other one. So if Naruto is the reincarnation again I think Sasuke would be the brother and this time they may fight together and break the cycle. Just a thought.

 

Shit, Kishi actually went there. :O

 

Maybe Hagoromo's brother transformed into Shinigami. The Death God looks like someone from their family. lol. And what happened with his children? Any connection with Uzumaki?

On the other note, Hashirama with his Mokuton is more badass than Ashura.

 

I bet you anything Sasuke is the older brother.

 

I really liked this chapter. The best part was Kaguya the moon alien MILF.

I'm fairly certain that Hashirama and Madara were the last reincarnations before Naruto and Sasuke. Apparently Ashura's soul hung around for a long time waiting for Madara to die before 'possessing' Naruto.

Oh, and Kaguya's eyes... Byakugan? Hagoromo's unnamed brother, Hyuuga ancestor?

 

This chapter made me think that Kishi likes to read some fanfiction.

 

Huh.

So that's why Naruto always sucked balls, he's the reincarnation of the no-good idiot.

 

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

 

Oh look, just when it you thought Kishimoto couldn't throw more pants-shit stupid curve-balls he goes and outdoes himself. Pat yourself on the back Kishi, because honestly we should be used to it but somehow you trump yourself.

 

It would put a name to that thing that was sensed in him back when he crashed the Kage Summit.

 

Wow, really that's it? I don't know why I expected more from that but I'm really dissapointed.

Also does no one in Naruto have an original thought? everyone is doing what someone else did in the past. Its frustrating.

 

Really, the genius vs dropout horse was not beaten enough already?
