Naruto is badass now. He needs to be, with Madara so powered. It sure looks like manga is slowly reaching its ending. Still, where is Sasuke? Not that I miss him, but I can't imagine that his inevitable battle with Naruto will happen after defeat of Madara. No matter what new powers he will get with his brother's eyes, old Tobi has it all and more. Not to mention much more experience. If Naruto beats him, I just don't see how Sasuke could give him any challenge.

On a different note, I can't wait for 4th Databook. I always like to see stats of various characters and how they grew more powerful over time. Not to mention we have so many new ones. And maybe, just maybe, we will finally see Minato's stats.

 

While his use of the not-so-ubiquitous-anymore Kage Bunshin will probably bring a much faster end to Kyuubi-mode, I think in this instance Naruto did it knowingly. Its the only way the Alliance has to find and defeat the White Zetsu clones and if Naruto doesn't take this risk now, the Zetsu clones'll probably have killed at least half the remaining 50k warriors before breakfast. Might make the entire battle pointless, if most/all the alliance ninja are dead.

Also, even without the Kyuubi-mode, Naruto'd be bloody hard to stop because he has unrestricted access to Sage-mode now. He's certainly able to call it on at a moment's notice.

 

Maybe the Kyuubi isn't eating his chakra... remember that gay little conversation they had? Something about him easing the Kyuubi's hatred, or some tripe like that...

Maybe the Kyuubi has decided to see what Naruto can do? He certainly knows that he can't handle Madara. Maybe he's decided to put his faith in Naruto...

 

It would be great if the Kyuubi is like, "Naruto I believe in you! Go face Madara and save the world!" So Naruto defeats Madara, then the Kyuubi consumes Narutos chakra killing him, reforms in a few years and with Naruto having defeated Sasuke and Madara, destorys the world.

 

I can tell you Minato's stats now.
Taijutsu: Will rape you
Ninjutsu: Will rape you
Genjutsu: Will rape your mind.
Seals: Will rape you so hard your ancestors will feel it.

Anything else that I forgot just apply the above ratings. Minato is forever the god of Shinobi. All others kinda pale in comparison.

 

Isn't Kyuubi trapped behind a new seal that makes the last one it was within look like Gaara's? On top of that Naruto ripped it's chakra from it...Technically the fox is trapped and powerless, so what's to stop syncing with the elder toads?

 

And promptly rage from the bullshit when, say, Sasuke's stats are higher than Minato's.

 

Exactly. Currently Itachi and Jiraiya have the highest stats at 35.5. I figure Minato, Naruto, Nagato, Madara, and unfortunately Sasuke; possibly Bee and A but I doubt it simply because I don't think either of them could have beat Itachi, much less Jiraiya. But other than those guys no one should be higher than 35.5. I see Minato as a solid 39.99 simply because no one is perfect.

But no one else should be much higher, if any, than Itachi and Jiraiya. Esspecially Sasuke who will always be Itachi's annoying little bitch of a brother.

 

We all know if Itachi had charged the 5 kage like that half of them would be dead.

 

What do people mean by this? Is the fact he has control over the Nine-Tails chakra make it easier for him to use Sage Mode or something?

 

And if he decided he didn't care about being blind or wanted to make it a suicide mission. He could have slaughtered everyone at the meeting.

 

Bullshit. Other than standing still and gathering it himself, he can make two clones to gather it for him. Thats it, two. No more.

 

@Republic and after he uses one of the kagebunshin to regain sage mode he can make another to start gathering more sage chakra.

 

And what makes you think he doesn't need, oh, thirty minutes to gather it? Or an hour?

 

It may but considering how long the fight against Madara would be it's probably worth it.

 

I'm thinking Goku's Keoken(?) attack...Remember when King Kai said he was using it in minute amounts just by stopping at minute instants? I don't remember which episode it was, but I had always felt sage mode was a fore-shadowing of that. And the latest proficiency has reinforced my belief that he'll somehow mold his taijutsu style to stop and gather sage chakra for small moments. \()/

 

Naruto has been training to turn on Sage Mode more quickly, or have you forgotten? It's pretty clear now that it doesn't take any significant time for him to gather it.

Deva had a five second window between using one ability. Naruto probably has a smaller window between 5 minute spans of uberness.

 

Methinks Sage Chakra is not even gonna be used in the endgame fight. Wait and see.

 

What makes you think he had access to the same amount of Sage Chakra? when he gathered it quickly vs the Konoha ninja he may not have had enough for a single FRS not to mention the double that the other clones were gathering for awhile.

 

Eh, at this point Naruto is leveling so quickly he must be hearing a constant 'ding' noise. I doubt Sage mode is going to have as big an effect as people assume. I think it will be used in the end fight, but I highly doubt Madara will be have any reaction to its use.
