I guess we can hope for Kabuto's death in the future chapters since that is how Kishimoto writes.

Kabuto means helmet. :) nice flashback. he was lonely from the beginning and following orochimaru like his everything, i wonder how they met. let's see if this flashback will go more. I think it's time over for Kabuto, after all he's against two strong characters, there is really nothing he can do unless he escape after losing this match. which is unlikely as he already escaped few times.

I wonder how five kages are doing with each fighting against 5 madara clones. Their last hope is itachi. that's why kishi is trying to finish this fight first. if suddenly madara and all other zombies become dead again, there will be a huge storm of complaints.

Why the hell did Sasuke have blood come out his eye while using Amaterasu!? I thought he had the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan? Doesn't so much strain that blood leaks from your eye kinda, oh, idk, DEFEAT THE PURPOSE OF THE ETERNAL PART!?

Surprised nobody else said anything about this. Completely illogical on Kishi's part.

Kabuto says he can't imagine himself losing - whilst in the company of an Uchia.
He is then told he'll lose - by an Uchia.
I'm sure we can all see where this is going, but who knows, maybe it's possible Kishi' will pull a Gaara style U-turn (doubt it though)?

I quite like Kabuto's backstory - at the moment, it's not too much of a sob story, which makes a nice change.

Pretty much^.
I hope Kishi suprises us and doesn't bump off Kabuto - too many half decent characters who establish themselves (those who are either competition, in the way of or grounds for a highly useful ally of a main/popular character) forever get killed off - no exaggeration.

I didn't even noticed that. I wonder if he forgot about his EMS and make a mistake otherwise it really defeat the purpose. Blood looks ugly and it should've been weakness of mangekyou sharingan.

It's not really the "ugly" part that should be of concern. I mean, the only way blood can leak from someone's eye like that is if the blood vessels burst, which makes sense since you can see the eye straining heavily whenever Amaterasu is used. But that kind of damage shouldn't be accompanied with a perfect Mangekyou. Anyways, this makes sense with the Mangekyou's eventual fall into blindness, as blood vessels bursting will RUIN your eyes, but it's completely illogical for Sasuke, who has the EMS, to be experiencing that. So like you, I'm hoping this is just a mistake on Kishi's part. If I recall correctly, Kishi also forgot to draw glasses on Kabuto in the past, so he does have a history of occasional error.

That's probably the point... first, make him seem insane and evil, then, make him the readers start to sympathize with him, then... KILL HIM!! .... ahh, but seriously... But who knows, Kishi-sensei might be trollling us...

The first half of the chapter was too overkill with Kabuto's powers... he keeps pulling one thing after another out of his ass, first it's with Sasuke's buddies, then the Dragon Sage thing, now this cave manipulation... oh, but the 'heat from the flames made the cave go back to normal"... the hell? too much talk-no-jutsu, not that I dislike the information, but it could be done much better.

I think the backstory is good, Kishimoto is finally going to SHOW us something, rather than explaining it with lengthy dialogue and expecting us to buy it.

Anyway, hurry it up with that Izanami technique, Itachi... but I've gotta say, I'm getting sick of the all these power-ups... same with in Bleach... It's all talk-no-jutsu and power-ups nowadays.. =.=

Same here never liked him. He is the number 1 troll in the series. I mean damn we got a flashback with him last week now this BS. I bet we get another damn flashback next week.

For this to be Kishi 10 year anniversary he is doing a shitty job.

Kishi needs to understand that slapping together some half-assed backstory this late in the game isn't going to suddenly endear people to a character. Character development doesn't work that way! I was so bored with the amount of chitchat and Kabuto's asspull jutsus...2/5.

I really liked this chapter...

It wasn't the best but if Kabuto was killed off without his backstory being revealed, I would've been pissed. And on top of that, Kabuto's backstory was interesting as well.

But then again, I'm not the biggest fan of this fight, I wish Kabuto would just die already...

There was no doubt that Kabuto would have a multi-chapter flashback since like 400 chapters ago or more, funny how the people who don't like Kabuto are the ones surprised, the placement could been better though, I was getting tired of susanoo already but I want to go back to Tobi's and Madara's fight!

And what was happening with Itachi? All that talk about knowing what you can do and what can not? He won't be able to turn Kabuto to the good side but could do it to Sasuke, yet, he chooses to do the other way around?

I got a "Please Save my Earth" feeling out of this chapter. His past might indeed turn sad. Or maybe he just didn't feel like fitting in and wanted UNLIMITED POWER. We'll see next chapters.

if you like characters coming back after dying or fatal wounds then you should read bleach. characters come back all the time :)

Trololol, I wouldn't be disappointed if he became like Shinpachi...

when he's not wearing glasses, his existence is mute! And that would explain why he still needs to wear glasses even though he's a sage. mhm, mhm. It's not that he cannot see without his glasses, he cannot EXIST without them! or rather, he entire existence IS his glasses!!!! Ah, Gintama logic saves the day again.

Kabuto's flashback is one of the few reasons I have for still reading Naruto. But after Tousen was ruined in Bleach, I don't have high hopes for Kabuto in Naruto. Actually, it might already be too late.

Oh well, I quess my next reason for still reading will be to see the Tobito theory ruined once and for all.

Tobito theory was weak to begin with and then ruined completely long ago.
Obito can't survive under a rock and then become so dang strong with one eye in just a year or two. attack konoha for no reason whatsoever, can control kyubi and fight with fourth hokage and his teacher on par.. It's impossible.
