First thing I thought after reading the chapter was, and I quote, "Oh. My. Fuc*ing. FU*K!" beacuse - really! - isn't that a little too much?? O.o Corpse!Madara, the Sage of the Six Paths... how the hell are they supposed to fight him when nearly everyone has chakra exhaustion!
As for the masked man, at this point I'd say Madara's brother... I mean, who else could it be? I doubt there actually being TWO Madaras...
Yeah, I was thinking that. Having no chakra is really not a good way to begin a battle.
I think the chapter kinda implied it wasn't Madara. I agree that his brother is the best bet. (Although wouldn't that make him older than the Tsuchikage O.o)
The brother might be a fake trail: first there was the Obito hints, then the Madara hints. Since it's hinted that it could be Madara's younger brother it may be a wrong assumption too.
If it's not his brother, it's someone Madara seems to *know* so yeah, old folk indeed.
Also, did anyone else pick up on the fact that Sasuke and Naruto are probably related in that long-lost sixth cousin kind of way? And I'm cool with that. You go right ahead and make Sasuke Naruto's long-lost family, Kishi, as long as you make Gaara his boyfriend. XD
I think it is great that last week it was very apparent that we have the clones with the love interests. Sakura, Hinata, Gaara...tee-hee.
On a side bar, has anyone else noticed that fandom has had far less ship-wankery in the last year? I really like that fact, and that most of the people that are still deeply into Naruto seem to be getting along well despite which character they like, what characters they like together, and whatnot. We stay because we love the series.
and love_evil, I love your icon. I giggle at it every time I see it. Did you make it or did you get it from someone?
I have actually been enjoying the manga much more these days. But I think that is because Kishimoto is finally bringing all the old characters back in. I think this arc is really quite good.
Yeah, I actually hope we never get a straight answer on a pairing. That way the shipping wank can't come back and have one party be right.
As much as I love some of the new characters (Mizukages 2 and 5 <3) it is nice to see old favourites getting some action. I agree that that's probably why so many people are enjoying this arc more than previous ones.
Oh yeah! I forgot fake!Madara said Nagato was an Uzumaki. And if the Rinnigan is connected to the Uchihas...Lol, long-lost cousins.
(I'm not worried about Naruto since he's like, not really there, the Tsuchikage's old anyway and the rest are just red shirts)
I wonder who will save them from Madara... I don't think they really have the energy to fight, at this point. Maybe someone will creep up on Kabuchimaru and thus stop the Edo thingie jutsu?
Oh! Right, where's Itachi gone?? Wasn't he supposed to do just that - sneak up on Kabuchomaru and, possibly-pretty-please, slit his throat...? I also have a feeling Sasuke will show up shortly... not to save them obviously, just to cause even more chaos. ._.
I don't like Sasuke at all but wouldn't it be awesome to see an Itachi/Sasuke fight... To see them both fighting Madara "For the family honor"!?! I would love to see them actually fighting on the same side! Plus maybe it could redeem Saskue. Not that I really believe it's an option at this point. But I'm just really sick of Sasuke being... ... ... Sasuke. ^_^
I am kind of glad that Madara is fighting Gaara's camp though. I think it will give us a chance to see more awesome fighting from our favorite Kazekage. The more Gaara is in the manga, the happier the fangirl I am. I think this secures us more Gaara and Naruto action for chapters to come, and I CANNOT take another Gaara-less dry spell from Kishimoto. There were a lot of chapters without a certain sexy redhead, and I prefer my Naruto manga to be teeming with Gaara, not lacking.
It's just frustrating that the Uchiha have a counter move for *everything* and I really want to see one of them get their ass kicked for once! So here's hoping that Gaara beats the snot out of Madara :D
I'd say the chapters are getting more and more interesting. But dang, Madara's going all god-mode all over the 4th Division that it's becoming a little scary. O.o'''
On a side note, I'm really amused at the technique Oonoki did when he touched Gaara's gourd to make the sand lighter. XD

Maybe people are starting to realise that Kishimoto's never going to give a straight answer anyway?

I am so confused on the whole Tobi thing now!
Also I'm getting sick of Uchiha's and their uber hax moves. Fucking Susanoo.

Sorry that was a bit off topic.
But yes, I'm also sick of all these trump cards the Uchiha's seem to have!
