| My reaction to Sasuke's decision, Orochimaru's personality (or lack of it) and Karin coming back to Sasuke, even though he tried to kill her: |
| I kinda feel something is missing. I kinda think that this is not really Sasuke's decision. He seems to be planning something else. |
| Next battle will be undoubtedly the final as well, if Sasuke were to turn back at this point, it would ruin his character development completely. I dunno if people are just eager to see Naruto vs. Sasuke, but I'd rather see them fighting as a team. |
rkronin said: that was way too fast to change minds. there are 2 possibilities. He has a second agenda or that was the most big fail in naruto's manga scenario. That's how much his reunion with Itachi impacted him, and Hashirama made his decision a little easier. |
Mormegil said: Also, LOL @ Sasuke. With the way he's been handled throughout the series, it's almost like he has multiple personalities. Hahaha yeah its like at this point hes like fuck it Kishi, I'll do what ever you want me to do whats the point my whole life has been a cluster-fuck of flip-flopping. Its funny how people always give Tite Kubo shit about making up stuff as he goes along, at least his characters more or less stay the same. Kishimoto doesn't have a plan at all he's winging it this chapter shows that. Just like he totally didn't cave in to fan criticism during the pain arc cough...cough... At this point Naruto is going to have a shittier ending than Dragon Ball GT, but at least its ending. Looking back on the story writing for this manga its like it started off being written by a competent writer and then during the time-skip it deteriorated to "My Immortal" level. I still think this chapter deserves 5/5, at least by Naruto standards, because it did something the past 30 or so chapters hadn't done. IT MOVED FORWARD. At this point the conclusion is very near and we finally have everyone on the same page. |

Well, didn't know you're drawing the manga. |
| Karin drooling all over Sasuke was disgustingly bad;the dude tried to kill her ffs. Taka being reintroduced in the first place was pointless-they're essentially cardboard cut-outs which are designed to make a room look nice, but sadly have the opposite effect. Orochimaru.....the dude was a great villian in part 1, but this manga isn't limited to part 1-too bad for Oro... Hyping Sasuke up as a "villian" and then pulling this is hilarious. Reading some of these excuses is even more comical. Oh well, at least the upcoming battles should be entertaining; it'll be interesting to see how Minato reacts to Obito being the masked man. |

| HOLY FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU. I pretty much squee'd at Minato's excitement over finally getting to meet his son (he looked so HAPPY! -Minato feels-). And damn, I was actually expecting Sasuke to screw up but WHOA?!?!?! So freaking excited for next chappie like you wouldn't believe. Ajhasdkfjahskdjf. |
You should really just comment on my profile if you want me to see your reply. |
| It looks too perfect for me, something obviously is about to happen.A good chapter tho c: |
 |
| Tobirama is so awfully written and those damn flashbacks were just a plot device to bring the hokages into the fray, what they revealed should have had no influence on Sasuke's decision, he should have come to that conclusion beforehand. They barely did anything anyway but reveal that Kishimoto has no idea how to create a backstory that isn't the same as Naruto or Sasuke's. Also damn, Karin is stupid as hell. This and the previous chapters really frustrated me, but I guess I shouldn't be expecting anything from this. |

| HOLY SHIT, Minato's going to see Naruto again while he's trying his hardest to combat Madara! I wonder how Naruto's going to react, seeing his dad, and oji-san! sakjthawjgt I can hardly wait. That collage of memories broke my heart, and I thought it was funny that Suigetsu doesn't consider himself one of the "monsters" lol. Hashirama going to the battle field makes me think of Tsunade. Wonder if they'll come into contact ay any point (or if she's even still alive). |
| Same thoughts as many. 1.)Glad the story is moving forward. I'm not the type of naruto fan that needs to know every ounce of a backstory's backstory. 2.)Sasuke seemed to calm his rage down and change his mind somewhat fast. 3.)Karin is stupid (but for obvious plot reasons duh) |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| Best chapter in quite a while! ...Karin disgusts me though. |
| read the whole little flashback arc at once. great story. it's crazy, at times i read this manga and i ask myself: "why the hell am i still reading this?" then from time to time we get stories like this that are some of the best genre have to offer imo. but anyways, i'm kinda dissapointed in Sasuke's decision for 2 reasons: A) i wanna see him kill Sakura B) i dont really understand what part of that story made him change his mind. what did he learn that altered his perception of Konoha? to me, personally, all the flashback did was make Madara more empathatic of a villain, which i'd of assume would of had the opposite effect that it did on Sasuke. |
| This chapter is amazing! Sasuke's sweating when Karin hugs him. Omaguh, that's just the beginning of the resurgence of the Sasuke Shippings. btw. karin's dumb. did he just try and kill you some chapters ago... its true for sakura but sxs pairs win. |
| ZELO <3 |
| I liked this chapter. The plot is finally making a change and Sasuke is a better character now that he is a "good guy" again rather than the whiny loser. And IDK how people are saying he changed his mind so fast? Naruto and Co. have been begging him to comeback to their side all of Shippuden. Also, that was a long ass flashback. |
 |
| YEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS. I'm so excited! This is great! And just because Sasuke is helping take down Madara doesn't mean he is coming back to the village. Naruto and him will most likely fight. So chill. But yay, Sasuke! At least you are thinking clearly again! IM SO HAPPY. I've been waiting for this moment for so long! |
    |
| GREAT episode, dying in excitement for the next one :D |
| Wouldn't that be just a heart break if all the sudden sasuske and orichimaru sceme up a plan and kill minata just before he see's his son lol But no its going to happen for sure kishimoto would not bring him back otherwise. |
  |
| HOLY COW! I'M SO EXCITED! I'm really happy to see the plot move forward this fast now. It'll be really exciting to see the battle. Wonder what will happen between naruto and sasuke though... Will there be an epic battle or not? |
| Cool, cool... but will it blend? |
| Apparently their has been a leak bout the naruto chapter 628/629. Spoilers ahead this information was from a reliable source on the net or so says this person on youtube. But he won't give out the source for it I will spoil tag this though in any case. Their has also been a leaked image, but i think this is fake especially since it says 528 on it. https://sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash3/601792_138744479645059_48388191_n.jpg |

| This Chapter was a good one, left ALL of us clinging for mooree. But i have a question. Could any of the EdoTensei Kage's Use the Shiki Fujin? You know because they are technically "dead" so what would the demon take? would it just be their status as an edo tensei? |
| ZELO <3 |
| The chapter wasn't too bad since we're finally moving on with the present now. Sasuke's change of heart did seem a little to quick for me. |
| Things I want to see in future chapters: - Minato giving the other half of Kurama's chakra to Naruto, his bijuu mode becoming way larger (Kurama's full size was never really determined I think, if you compare the size of his head to Madara's in chapter 620 then in chapter 626, you'll be able to notice the difference) - Sasuke/Kakashi dies in battle and gives his eye(s) to Naruto, who then unlocks the Rinnegan - Hashirama's Shinsuusenju holds off the Juubi - Tobirama's full power - Minato showes us something other than the Rasengan and the Hiraishin (I mean, he's the Hokage, he's got to be able to do more than that and Fuuinjutsu right?) - SOMEONE opening the Eight gate - Naruto using sage mode and bijuu mode simultaneously - Shinra Tensei being used at a much larger scale than Nagato (by Madara or Naruto) - More Rinnegan awesomeness - Rikudou Sennin's life and his fight against the Juubi - Karin and Naruto bonding time (somehow) - A combination between the Rasenshuriken, the Planetary Rasengan and the Bijuudama - Hinata dying permanently That's pretty much all. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- About Karin, I think forgiving people who almost kill you is an Uzumaki trait, just look at Naruto! Besides, it's not like Sasuke did much, if someone almost killed me, as long as I made full recovery and the guy did not enjoy doing it I'll be fine, won't really care. |

thracias said: The chapter wasn't too bad since we're finally moving on with the present now. Sasuke's change of heart did seem a little to quick for me. Yeah, I thought the change of heart too easy, but then it's almost predictable. The story feels like it's starting to wind down so I doubt Kishimoto would allow for Sasuke to be a "bad guy" for much longer. This chapter at least moved things along better than the chapter that followed it. |
| Well that escalated quickly. Even though Sasuke is my favorite Naruto character I didn't expect him to become "good" so suddenly. With this turn of events I really can't predict what's gonna happen next. But what I liked the most about this chapter was the revelation of the past Uchihas. It's hilarious to me that Kagami turned out to be good, while he was my primary candidate for Tobi, back in the time. And Shisui is his son? Bithchin'! P.s. What about Orochimaru? Hmm... |
  |
| You disaapointed us all, Sasuke, Orochimaru, and KishiMasa. Poor Suigetsu. LOL@Karin&Orochimaru. the MONSTERs are on the move |
| Isayama Hajime should be awarded The Manga with The Highest Inconsistencies of Characters' Appearances. He keeps performing multiple plastic surgeries on those Shingeki No Kyojin characters in a SINGLE chapter. Yes, I've read up to the latest chapter of Shingeki No Kyojin manga. Forced myself to read through the kidsketching chapters after the anime's ended. At least from now on, I only have to go through the hell once a month. Patiently awaiting SNK TV/movie/OVA anime-sequel. The 2015 SNK live-action movie would probably suck. |
| I'm so glad we won't have to endure another Naruto vs Sasuke battle. I must admit I was surprised to see Sasuke side with the leaf, clearly he values his brother's ideals over his own now. |
 |
| Am I the only one who found Orochimaru's line about Sasuke sstabbing him as well hilarious? |
 |
| Sasuke will join the war and fight Madara! |
 |
| wow. That panel with sasuke and all the itachi's probably took kishi a long time to draw |
