Well, I thought that Madara in the end took a level in badassery. Those ex-Jinchûriki-paths of his are pretty intimidating. I like the idea.

Savior Naruto being recognized by the top brass of the Ninja World? I suppose it had to happen eventually, but it's still a mix beetween slightly awesome and awkwardly embarrassing.

 

So let me get this straight, Madara gave the bodies of the Jinchuuriki to Nagato to control? I though inhabiting a body was an entire process for Nagato. Well, whatever. More filler battles.
Edit@Clerith:Roger.
I remain unimpressed about Naruto's Kyuubi mode. I mean sure, we haven't seen him in action yet, but goddamn, he's been using it for a dozen chapters and all we're seen is some superspeed and getting smacked around.
I seriously hope Kyuubi mode doesn't fail to deliver.

 

What? Madara took Nagato's Rinnegan, so now he can use probably at least most of Nagato's abilities, apparently including the 'Six Paths' thingamajig. Nagato's resurrected by Kabuto's Edo Tensei, he doesn't have anything to do with Madara's six Jinchūriki bodies.

 

I confess to being slight confused about the new six paths created by Madara.

Are the Jinchūriki bodies those summoned by the Edo Tensei, or are they the actual bodies of the fallen vessels? If the former then I don't see Kabuto so willingly turning over control of them without something valuable in return...but if their the Edo Tensei summons then no matter what they'll regenerate, making sealing the only possibility.

 

I'm talking about this page. I still felt like punching someone when I looked at it again.

 

I get that Madara now has the ability to use multiple 'paths', but how in the fuck did he get that many Sharingan eyes. Pain's paths had the Rinnegan, so maybe thats just an effect of having 'rinnegan' chakra, or control rods in you or something, but just having 6 sharingan eyes lying around is a little dumb.

 

... Have you not been reading the manga? Did you really miss the room full of Sharingan inside of Madara's eye?

 

...it seems i did.

 

What the fuck are we reading, that this makes sense?

 

I ... I don't know.

 

We're reading this Manga called Naruto, where men have pocket dimensions tucked away behind their eyes.

And I was under the impression Minato recieved the name "Yellow Flash" because all you see is a flash of yellow - his hair - before he kills you, or whatever the case may be.

 

Which doesn't make sense. If he kills everyone with them only seeing his hair, how the fuck did the name get out? And if they see him, why do they only see the hair? Is he dressed in some sort of yellow body-suit?

 

SHUT UP, Kishimoto might be listening in and I want as little Minato in this as possible. Honestly, when this series started he kicked the nine-tails ass, was an all round amazing shinobi, made the Rasengan, was a sealing expert, and quite frankly demolished an entire army on his own. That was all I needed to know, all the 'personality' Kishimoto is giving him is ruining the untouchable ninja ideal we all had of him.

He's already tossed the main character in one of those, I don't need the dead badass popping up in one as well.

 

The Yellow Flash nickname really isn't that hard to figure out. With Minato telespamming around the battlefield, the most you'll see of him is for a split second. And what's going to catch your eye in that time? The drab shinobi uniform or a brief flicker of bright blond hair?

 

I think the Six Paths of Pain jutsu is just an advanced form of the jutsu that made copys of Itachi and Kisame. It isn't really that different as it was able to replicate the sharingan and also Samehade, it also allows the user to control the clone.

 

Funny, I thought the Six Paths had the eyes of their controller, Madara. No extra sharingan/rinnegan involved, just projected eyes thru chakra or something.

 

He's just been shown not killing everyone... come on son, this seems like blatant idiocy - you pullin' my leg boy?

Now do you see?!

... no, it isn't. He's been shown as both utterly ruthless, unfailingly honorable and scarily knowledgeable. He's the ultimate ninja, and he's been showcased as such - the ideal is being strengthened, constantly, in every showing he's had. And, really, nothing we've been shown goes against the original myth of "Kazama Arashi", as the fandom called him for years, save that he actually handled the Kyuubi quite well, as opposed to being terribly overwhelmed. Quite frankly, this manga needs moar Minato.

I especially want to know how he got so damned fast.

 

To be honest I got into Minato from Pokemon - when someone compared a Gym leader to Minato's image, and then I looked it up and went from there.

The post about six up (roughly)... Six paths of pain isn't a jutsu... it's an ability of the Rinnegan using dead bodies.

I'd like to see more Minato... we don't know much about him except general, we're lacking information on who his friends were (unless you count the fact that the fact that Chouji and Shika's dad seemed to know him quite well, and Shibi... the thing I'd like to know is if his teammates were actually important or just random characters, oh, and his age.

 

It is a jutsu, i.e, a technique... but is it the same one used by Pein? I don't think so. The chakra receivers are absent... I think, somehow, Edo Tensei has been incorporated.

 

Kabutomaru did show him how it worked. Not surprising.
