Naruto 673: We Will...!!
Beware, thar be spoilers hidden beneath the links!
-We begin the chapter with Naruto standing beside a seriously injured Guy. He is alive, but for how long? Madara speculates on this.
-Borrowing chakra from Son Goku, Naruto unleashes a lava rasenshuriken. While Naruto is able to evade Madara's counterattack (limbo), Madara is not so lucky.
-Nearby, everyone watches in astonishment as Naruto's rasengan takes down the God Tree.
-Who is Madara talking to? The God Tree?
-Naruto carries Guy back to where Gaara and Lee are standing, leaving the injured man in their care.
-Sasuke having also returned to the world of the living, releases Tobirama from the black chakra rods that held him down and has him transport him away.
-Indeed, it does appear that Madara has absorbed the God Tree's chakra, but are these Madara’s thoughts or someone elses? I think I've seen something like this before.
-Back in Kamui Land, Obito asks Sakura for a favor.
-Naruto stands before Madara waiting...
for Sasuke's inevitable return.
-The stage is now set for the final battle of this epic war! Next up, Naruto and Sasuke VS Madara!
MIGHTY GUY WANTED DEAD OR ALIVE
Ok, so I was very sure last week he would die, but I'm not sure of anything now. If indeed Naruto did stop the death gate from being opened then it makes sense that Guy could survive. But for how long? He will stay alive long enough to have his last words with Kakashi and Lee, but how much longer after that? I will have more to say on this situation once Guy's fate is settled for sure. I don't want to comment on something that may never happen.
MADARA
That panel of Madara seemingly talking to the God Tree was odd. And the panel with the three eyed face reminded me of Kaguya. Does Madara have a third eye now? There is fan speculation that Kaguya was reincarnated into the God Tree somehow and now Madara has absorbed her chakra within himself. That so far is the best explanation I have read. If Ashura/Indra can be passed down one generation to the next why not? Honestly, I couldn't come up with a better explanation, doesn't meant there isn't one though.
"The time has come for everything to become one". What does that mean? It doesn't sound like the Moon Eye Plan to me or does it?
OBITO AND SAKURA
I think he is going to ask her to take his eye out and either damage it or transplant it into someone. But who? Sasuke? He already has one. Madara? I don’t think he needs it now that he seems to have gotten a serious power up from the God Tree. Kakashi? Possibly. And in a way it makes more sense given that it was Obito who gave him his sharingan. Regardless, Obito is not long for this world. Though I'm sure this isn't the first time I predicted he will die. Just how many cat's lives does he have left?
NARUTO AND SASUKE
Naruto has finally ditched the orange/black track suit for some serious looking sage duds while Sasuke is still stuck in his Team Taka uniform. Not that it matters because Sasuke is sporting something even more important....a newly acquired RINNEGAN in his left eye.
Can't wait to see them team up against Madara. One more chapter left before Golden Week. Expecting something amazing.
