599: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!

I'M SO DISAPPOINTED!!!!!! Like, seriously Kishi? How could you do this to us??? 95% of the chapter was nothing but flashbacks with no dialogue! And then, the last page just killed it!!!! If you don't know what I mean, look below and feel disappointed:

AGHHHHHH! IT'S OBITO?!?!? Kishi, why? Sorry guys, i'm not in the mood for a full chapter discussion today :(.

Tobi's Missed Opportunities

Hey there! Now we all know that I personally just LOVED the previous two chapters, but I must say that I have felt a little disappointment, pertaining to Tobi. I feel like there were so many opportunities for Tobi to gain an upper hand in the war, albeit he might still have a chance thanks to the Ten Tails, but right now, his situation would not have to be so bad if it were not for his greatly missed opportunities.

First of all, let me get this through. Tobi already had seven Tailed Beasts and a tail of the eighth in the Gedo Mazo! With even a small portion of Gyuuki's (the Eight-Tailed Ox-Octopus) chakra, it was revealed that all Tobi needed now was Kurama's chakra. After Tobi's declaration of war, he formed an alliance with Kabuto.  What Tobi should have done at this point was ask Kabuto if he could take Ginkaku and Kinkaku, but no, he still goes through with the war.

Then, when Tobi invaded Darui's unit with the Gedo Mazo, he captured Ginkaku and Kinkaku. So, what would the smart thing to do have been?  At night, he should have just sealed the two Gold and Silver Brothers into the Gedo Mazo, but instead of that, he chooses to create his own Six Paths of Pain with the former dead Jinchuuriki, which is pretty cool I guess, and he decides to go after Naruto and Killer B. What the heck, Tobi? He should have just sealed the brothers in the Gedo Mazo after his little invasion. By doing so, he could have summoned the Ten Tails already, and he could have won the war on that night, instead of doing it the following night.  I mean, I get that he still wanted to capture Gyuuki and Kurama, so that he could recreate the Ten Tails in its perfect form, but he still went for the brothers beforehand. What was the point of going after Naruto and Killer B, and wasting all of that time? If he wanted to achieve his long-desired goal of illusory peace under the moon, then why didn't he just do it when he had the chance? Then, when he was fighting Naruto, Killer B, Kakashi, and Guy, why did Tobi just suddenly decide that the battle was pointless? Of all times, he decides to bring out the Ten Tails in the middle of this fight? That's just crazy.

This brings me to my next point. When Tobi was fighting with his four adversaries, why hasn't he used his full powers yet? Dude, you have the Rinnegan! Use it!!!!! There were so many times where if he used the Shinra Tensei or his summonings, he could have easily caused a great deal of damage to Naruto and the others. I just hope he hasn't been using it because he needs it for some other special purpose.

Finally, Tobi has the Gedo Mazo!!! We've seen a lot of the Gedo Mazo's powers, and it ain't a pushover! First of all, it can unleash an energy dragon from its mouth that can kill anyone in its range! It can also bring out shock waves powerful enough to send Choji and his dad, in their super huge forms, flying! A mountain sized attack could not hurt it. It is incredibly strong. It also has these crazy chakra lightning blasts that it can use from its protrusions, obliterating tons of people in one hit. With all of that power, the Gedo Mazo could have already killed Kakashi and Guy, as well as severely damaged Naruto and Killer B. I understand that it can't really fight right now because of its slow transformation into the Ten Tails, but still, before that it could have done a lot more damage than it did. I just hope that this isn't all some plot-induced stupidity.

That's all I have for now. See ya guys!

Naruto Chapter 598 Discussion

Hey guys! Whoever comes to read my stuff here on this blog, thank you! I know I probably haven't done many posts, and I've been delaying lately, but don't worry! Hopefully, I'll have tons more discussions from here on out. That being said, let's get on to this chapter.

OK, what can I say about this chapter to begin? I'll start by saying that this chapter is, without a doubt, the EPITOME of EPIC. Very few chapters in my opinion can achieve this high quality. Everything that I'm going to say about this chapter will be positive, as you can see, but I am going to leave a lot of room for discussion.

The chapter begins where we left off with Naruto in his Tailed Beast Mode still going after Tobi. Now I was certain that the full beast would have come out like it did last time, but it didn't. Instead, he kept using parts of Kurama's (the Nine Tailed Fox's) body to fight. It appears that he's gaining better control over Kurama as he was also able to create a shadow clone in this form (last time it was just a clone in Sage Mode), but I'll get to that part later. Also, it appears that Naruto can choose to go in either his Nine Tails Chakra Mode, or full Tailed Beast Mode now, but I think it makes more sense if he only goes in His Tailed Beast Mode since it's way more powerful. One of my personal favorite parts in this fight was when Naruto manifested the head of the fox Kurama and caught one of the giant shurikens that Tobi spewed out from the other dimension in his mouth, as seen below.

Another important point to address is Kakashi's almost psychological breakdown. While Naruto was still battling Tobi, Kakashi was thinking about a certain grave, whom I think is Obito's. He says, in his mind, "He... can't be..." which we all know means that Kakashi is also starting to think that Tobi just might be Obito, as many readers already have. We can also see that Kakashi's mind was far away from reality, and it took much effort from Guy to snap him out of it. What's also interesting to note in this scene is that Guy says "I know what you're thinking..." which can only mean that Guy does know Obito, which would be surprising, or that Kakashi told him about him, which wouldn't be too surprising. But as far as I know, all of this "evidence" supporting Obito theories is all just a red herring, which I've explained in a previous post, to give us a surprise twist.

With Guy's help, Kakashi is brought back to his senses, and goes on to help his former student in the fight. But before the fight resumes, Tobi says, "I'll show you the power of the real Kamui!" and he reveals that, all along, he has had the Mangekyou Sharingan!!! AMAZING. Not only is his Mangekyou the same as Kakashi's (we learned that Tobi has Obito's eye in the previous chapter, so it was assumable that he might have the Mangekyou, but now it's confirmed), but Tobi also has Kamui!!! Last week and a half ago, some fans suggested that Tobi was hiding a third eye, Obito's eye, in his bandaged forehead, but it turns out that his right eye always was Obito's. In the next discussion, I'll go into more detail about Tobi and his eyes.

So back in the fight, Tobi jumps once again, and this time, instead of giant shurikens, he sends these huge chakra stakes from the other dimension at Naruto and B. Most of the stakes hit B and damage him. Naruto takes cover under B, and summons a shadow clone in the same form. The real Naruto forms a Tailed Beast Ball. On the other hand, the clone just makes a standard Rasengan, and jumps toward Tobi. However, Tobi doesn't want to fall in the same trap a third time, so he sends a chakra stake at the clone, thinking that he destroyed it. Meanwhile, Kakashi falls as Guy tries to grab him. Then, the real Naruto sends his Tailed Beast Ball at Tobi, causing such a huge explosion that Tobi is forced to go into the other dimension, where he finds a little surprise: the Naruto clone holding his Rasengan. Kakashi, in fact, hadn't failed; he sent the entire clone into the other dimension! Finally, a surprised Tobi receives a Rasengan to the mask as Naruto poses the one  question that's in everyone's minds: "WHO ARE YOU?!?!" Sadly the chapter ends there :(.

However, before I leave, I would like to point something out, thanks to a comment that I read on Mangahere.com.  The last page of the chapter resembles a scene from the very first arc of Naruto, when he was owning Haku with the Fox's power!!! Don't believe me? See for yourself!!!

Wow. This is just amazing, and it makes the chapter even better. This is one of the most best of meaningful echoes and bookends that I have ever seen/read in a story. In the beginning, Naruto defeated a masked man, with a punch, in his Initial Jinchuuriki Form. Now, finally near the conclusion, Naruto is close to defeating another masked man, but with a Rasengan, and in possibly his final form. Also, they both have the same 3 panel structure,and Naruto in the exact same poses. It not only shows the growth in Naruto's strength and character, but it also shows that Kishi has not forgotten where all this began and he's ready to bring a conclusion just as powerful as the beginning of this series, if not WAY more powerful.

Hopefully, Tobi's identity will be revealed next week, in chapter 599. However, Kishi might just decide to cut back to Sasuke and them, or Madara and the Kage, which would be a horrible form of trolling. But it is also likely, since the big 600 is upon us. Well, that's all I have for this beastly chapter of Naruto. See you guys soon!

Naruto vs. Sasuke: The Final Battle and More

Hello, and welcome to another one of my Naruto discussions! Today, I will talk about the inevitable fight that will happen between Naruto and Sasuke, all of the possible outcomes, and related topics pertaining to the characters.

First, let us talk about the characters. This whole series has been about the growth of these two; when one grows, the other does as well. Even though They also appear to gain respective power-ups along the way.  When Sasuke had the Curse Mark, Naruto would let the Fox take over him. When Sasuke obtained the Mangekyou Sharingan, Naruto learned how to achieve the perfect Sage Mode. After Naruto obtained the Fox Chakra Mode, Sasuke got the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan. Now, Naruto has gained complete control of the Fox and has achieved the full Tailed Beast Mode, so it only makes sense for Sasuke to also get one final power-up, quite possibly the Rinnegan, or maybe, even Dragon Sage Mode. Who knows, he might even get the legs for his perfect Susanoo, but then again, maybe it requires the Rinnegan.

As characters, they have many parallels. Naruto grew up as a prankster at first, wanting acknowledgement from the rest of the villagers. Sasuke, on the other hand, was born into the famous Uchiha clan, and he was very popular with his whole stoic mood. They were like water and oil, having trouble mixing together, and yet, they were destined to be placed into the same team, leading to Naruto's first real bond with someone his age. However, after a certain incident, their bond became weaker and weaker until it finally just severed. Naruto has since been trying to rebuild the bond while Sasuke keeps drifting further and further from it. As time passed, Naruto went on to become an acknowledged hero, who believes in keeping the peace, while Sasuke became a criminal, fixed on the path of revenge. When you look at them from the beginning, and when you look at them now, they still retain many of the characteristics that they always had, but at the same time, they're so different.

Now let's talk about their upcoming battle. We know that they're going to battle either during the war, or after. The question is: will Sasuke be the last antagonist? Me, personally, I just don't see it. So far, everything that Sasuke has done and accomplished has not really caused an impact to the main story with Naruto, even though he has been getting just as much screen time as Naruto. If Sasuke turns out to be the boss of the endgame, it will feel sooo anticlimactic when the major villains have already been defeated. Hopefully, Tobi has some plans for Sasuke, so that Sasuke will have more of a connection to the main plot. If that happens, Naruto would also fight Sasuke before a final brawl with Tobi, because, well... let's face it: the battle going on right now between Tobi and Naruto with allies is definitely not going to be Tobi's last fight; so much more has to happen.

We can't really say how this battle is going to play out, but we can attempt to predict the outcomes, and I have many predictions. One of these possibilities is that Sasuke might die. I don't see Naruto killing Sasuke obviously, but he might do it accidentally Sasuke might decide that he's wrong and just kill himself as redemption. If Sasuke dies, then everything that Naruto has been working so hard for will have been for nothing. Although it's sort of realistic, I just don't think that's the best way to end their destiny together.

Then there's the possibility that Naruto dies. I'm not kidding. Now, I know that this series is called Naruto so you wouldn't think that the title character would die, right? But that would be a pretty cool and sad twist. Of course, if he dies, then the series shouldn't be called Naruto, or so you would think. However, it could then be about Naruto's legacy and what he left for everyone that he cared about. Then again, it kind of defeats the purpose of Naruto's dream to be Hokage, but I have a theory that could justify that, which I will explain in another discussion. Sasuke and Naruto could both die, but that's just everything I've already explained above.

Another possibility is that neither of them will die, but one of them will win. I can honestly see either one of them winning, but it will definitely require Sasuke to lose his ideals. If Sasuke wins, he will see that he was wrong, but his pride will prevent him from going to Naruto's side, but he'll decide not to kill him.

However, in my eyes, the most likely conclusion to the fight will be Naruto's victory. Naruto will probably bring Sasuke to the good side; however, it should not be done in a contrived way. Naruto must be able to give Sasuke an answer as to why revenge is not the right way; Naruto already knows what it feels like to want vengeance, so in a way, he knows how Sasuke feels. Naruto was confronted by Pain with a question about breaking the cycle of revenge and bringing peace, but Naruto could not give him a legitimate answer. He said that he would try to find the answer, but he has not done so yet. Even when asked by Tobi currently, he still couldn't answer him. Naruto must find the answer so that he can legitimately bring Sasuke to his senses.

Expect to see another Rasengan-Chidori clash again.  Maybe some fist bumps too. That's all I have to say about this fight. Bye guys. Expect another discussion soon!

Naruto Discussion: Taka, Orochimaru, and Everything

Hello readers! I'm really sorry about this delay! Now, I plan having a discussion about several different topics in the popular anime/manga series, Naruto. Topics in this discussion include Sasuke's team Taka, Orochimaru, and the "man" or "people" who know "everything." I'll start with a member of Taka: Suigetsu.

Not much importance is ever given to Suigetsu, and I doubt that there are even many fans of him. All we really know about him is that, in a sense, he likes to sever bonds (which is why he wants to split up Sasuke and Karin, even though they're not a couple), Zabuza was his hero, and he wants to recreate the Seven Swordsmen of the Mist. In the series, he really hasn't served a huge purpose, other than saving Sasuke and the rest from Killer Bee's Tailed Beast Ball. Recently, he has found the scroll that can "change the tide of the war." So that will have some use in the story as probably some hax jutsu. But he wants Sasuke to have it, so really, his role should be over right there. Honestly, all I can see him doing is tagging along with Sasuke on the big journey, and providing some help. But maybe, in the distant future, Suigetsu will be able to become the leader of a new Seven Swordsmen of the Mist someday.

Next, we have Karin, who has currently been trapped by the Leaf Village. She has provided help for Sasuke so much that, without her, Sasuke probably either wouldn't even be alive right now or he would never have even gotten as far as he did. Karin's goal was originally to be with Sasuke and accompany him, but I doubt she would want to now, since Sasuke betrayed her and almost killed her. But, she must have a purpose since Kishi spent three pages showing her again after all of this time. Her little act makes me believe that although she has resentment towards Sasuke, she still likes him and wants him, in a way resembling Sakura. For this reason, I believe that she just might go back to Sasuke, even though he wouldn't want her around. However, Sasuke might actually see a purpose for her thanks to the revelation that she is an Uzumaki. Why? Because, through Karin's flesh, Sasuke might just be able to obtain the Rinnegan. Other than that, she really serves no other purpose. If Sasuke turns good in the end, I can see her ending up with him and creating a clan with both Senju and Uchiha blood.

The last member of Taka, excluding Sasuke, is Jugo. Like Suigetsu, he is also with Sasuke now. He calls Sasuke a memento of Kimimaro, which is mainly why Jugo likes being around him. He has saved Sasuke from death by Killer B multiple times, but other than that, he also hasn't done much. Or so it seems... that is, until Kabuto reveals that Jugo's clan's power comes from something greater: the Dragon Sage Mode!!! If Jugo learns to harness his powers, he can become as big of a threat as some of the main villains right now!!!

Moving on from Taka, we have Orochimaru. That's right: the man does not simply die. Although he has not achieved immortality, it appears that he has since he keeps on coming back. The question remains: why does Sasuke need him? I guess he will lead the way to these people that know "everything." And if he's had a scroll that can "change the tide of the war," then he may quite possibly take away the final villain status away from Tobi, which I hope doesn't happen.

Now, who is this "man" or who are these "people" who know everything? They must be someone that we know. They can't just be some random people that we've never seen before. That would be dumb. They are obviously related to this super hax scroll, which isn't a very crucial detail in helping us understand everything, but I'm just throwing that out there. Now, I can really only guess upon two people that could know everything, and they are the two Leaf Elders, Homura and Koharu. There isn't much evidence to base this guess upon, but they appear to be the only other important characters left in this series, plus, they are on Sasuke's "to kill" list.

Finally, what exactly does Sasuke mean by "everything?" There are a few different topics that it could mean, in my opinion. One, being the Elder's perspectives of the Uchiha Clan Massacre. Another possibility is what really went down between the Sage of the Six Paths and the Ten-tailed Beast. But, personally, what I'm hoping for to see is the founding of the Leaf Village, and the final battle between Hashirama Senju and Madara Uchiha. It would be cool to see the Elders, Madara, and Tobi talking about it in an epic three-way flashback!

Well, that's all I have for tonight! Again, I'm really sorry about the delays! Hopefully, I'll be a lot quicker with the discussions tomorrow!!!

Naruto Speculation: Sasuke

Welcome to another Naruto speculation discussion. In this discussion, I will share my thoughts on Sasuke's character and what is to become of him.

Sasuke Uchiha: the Avenger. Sasuke started out as a peaceful, happy child who loved his older brother, Itachi... that is, until that night. When the Uchiha Clan Massacre happened, Sasuke was struck with confusion, fear, anger, sadness, and most of all, revenge. He wanted to kill his own brother as a way to avenge his clan. Since the very beginning, Sasuke was set on the path of darkness. Then, when Sasuke finally killed Itachi, things looked like they would turn around for the better, but really, everything just got worse. Sasuke was finally exposed to the truth by Tobi. Itachi was truly a hero, and the Leaf Village Elders were Sasuke's true enemies. Sasuke had now fallen into a deeper, darker hole than before. Originally, Sasuke had no intention of killing anyone but his brother. But after learning the truth, Sasuke had no regrets killing the samurais at the Five Kage Summit or when he killed Danzo at the bridge. At this point, it appeared that Sasuke had crossed the point of no return.

However, things seem to have taken a different turn since Sasuke reunited with Itachi. As expected, we wouldn't see the darkness in Sasuke when he's around Itachi. His hatred for the Leaf Village also increased after seeing Itachi again. So, it does look like he is still going for his goal, but he still seems different, even after Itachi left. He has started to question what a village is, what a clan is, what a shinobi is, and he even questions his own existence. Why? What has made Sasuke go into such philosophical contemplation? After being interrupted in his deep thought by Jugo and Suigetsu and given this special scroll, Sasuke started to reveal even stranger information. He wants to meet with the "man" or "people" (not sure due to the conflicting translations) who know "everything." What is meant by "everything" and who is this "man" or these "people?" I will save that for another discussion. Anyway, it appears that Sasuke wants to undergo a new mission before he fulfills his promise to Naruto.

Speaking of which, just when will Naruto and Sasuke have their final battle? Kishi has stated in an interview that they might meet in the war, which is confusing because you would expect them to meet in the war considering the fact that most of the Naruto fanbase believes this to be the final arc of the story. However, this arc has already spanned over eighty chapters, and Kishi has stated that Naruto may have two more years left, and that is approximately one hundred chapters more! Arcs usually don't go beyond one hundred chapters in any manga series, so, it is to my concern that the Fourth Shinobi World War Arc simply cannot be the final arc in the series, and Naruto and Sasuke's destined fight could possibly happen after the war.

So, will Sasuke obtain any more power-ups? As far as I can see, yes. Last year, possibly the biggest reveal after Madara Uchiha's resurrection was that the next stage after the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan is indeed the Rinnegan! Seeing as Madara is the only we know of who has achieved the Rinnegan through the EMS (short for Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan), Sasuke may also get the Rinnegan as a final power-up. But how did Madara get the Rinnegan? I have a theory: by taking some of Hashirama Senju's flesh during the final battle, Madara obtained the requirements for the Rinnegan, which appear to be the EMS and Senju DNA. When Sasuke battles Naruto, he may end up taking some of Naruto's flesh and then BAM! He'll pop out the purple eyes (possibly)!

Any more power-ups? Why, yes. Itachi revealed Izanami, the time loop forbidden jutsu, to be usable without Senju DNA. It, along with Izanagi, are supposed to remove the light in a person's eye once used. However, now that Sasuke'e eyes are "eternal," maybe even these jutsus won't cause him harm. And, if he does get some of Naruto's flesh, he'll be able to use Izanagi, the"real" genjutsu. Also, Itachi said that the two jutsus form a pair, so if Sasuke uses both abilities, he should be able to form an even greater eye technique of unbelievable proportions!

Finally, Sasuke might get an upgrade in his Susanoo. We have already seen Madara's perfect Susanoo with legs, multiple swords, and armor, which makes it resemble a Samurai. Madara was able to blow away mountains with this Susanoo! Sasuke could probably do the same. Madara has also stated that Susanoo was the perfect counter against the tailed beasts, so it makes perfect sense if Sasuke gets this form to counter Naruto's Tailed Beast Mode.

Another important point that I would like to address about Sasuke is his character development. The way things are going, Sasuke's ultimate goal should still be to take down the Leaf Village, even if he goes on another side quest. That being said, Sasuke made a promise to Naruto that Naruto would be the first Leaf Village shinobi that he would kill. Of course, the most likely thing that will happen is that Naruto will be able to change Sasuke, as Itachi has entrusted to him. However, how will Naruto do it? Naruto the character gets a lot of criticism from the fact that Naruto is able to change people's ways of thinking. This wouldn't be a bad thing, but the fact that he can do it to almost everyone is a little too much, especially when he changes characters that he shouldn't be able to with his talking. Now, thee question is: will Naruto be able to bring Sasuke to the good side in a satisfactory way, or will it be disappointing? But then again, Sasuke might even die. Who knows?

The last point that I would like to address  about Sasuke, at the moment, is his purpose with Tobi. At first, it seemed like Tobi had great plans for Sasuke, but now, it's like Sasuke isn't even important to Tobi anymore. When Tobi first met Sasuke, or rather, when he kidnapped him, Tobi easily manipulated him and got him to do his dirty work for him. He used him so that he could capture the Eight Tails, and although Sasuke failed, Tobi settled for the one tail that Taka was able to retrieve. Then, Tobi got Sasuke to invade the Five Kage Summit just so it would be easier for him to declare war on the Five Great Nations. However, it still appeared that Tobi had some interest in Sasuke considering that he stayed during the Danzo fight and onward. But really, what does Tobi want from Sasuke???

Well, that concludes my Sasuke discussion. Look forward to more discussions soon!!!

Naruto Speculation: Madara vs the Five Kage

Hello readers! I have just finished my "Who is Tobi?" discussion, and whew, there were a lot of identities to choose from! Now that I've finished, I would like to further discuss some more topics about Naruto. Now, we should all know that the manga is getting closer and closer to its end, so there is much less time left for speculation. This is why I would like to address some of the points in the manga and speculate upon them before it reaches it's conclusion. The first topic that I would like to address is Madara Uchiha's fight with the Five Kage.

First of all, this is definitely going to be one of the last fights in the manga. I would like to address its importance to the story line. Recently, Madara has stated that he has become bored of the fight, and he would rather go after the Nine-Tailed Fox. The problem with this is that if Madara leaves without even finishing off one Kage, then the the whole fight would have been pointless. How? Because it would just be a stalemate where neither party wins. In other words, this situation would be as bad as fillers!!! The fight needs to have an outcome in which one side wins. Obviously Madara isn't going anywhere anytime soon, so the only other option is to have Madara kill at least one of the kage, no matter how sad and painful it'll be to watch. I personally don't think Madara will be able to leave that easily. I'm sure that the kage will attempt to take him down.

One thing that worries me is this: Madara might be able to leave the battlefield very easily. Why? Because he might have space-time jutsu!!!!! You might be thinking, "You're crazy for coming to such a drastic conclusion!" But I have one very important reason to think this. You see, back in the fight between Tobi and Minato Namikaze, Minato speculated that Tobi might actually be Madara for a multitude of reasons, one of them being that he could use space-time jutsu! If this is true, then Madara might actually just vanish from the five kage! Also, if this is true, then that not only means that there is more to Madara than meets the eye, but he STILL hasn't fought the kage with his full potential!

So, if Madara doesn't leave the battle just yet, and he does kill at least one kage, who should it be? And why? Let us go through each of the kage one by one.

First, we'll start with the Kazekage, Gaara. Gaara is a very popular and well-developed character. If he dies, fans will be very mad, but it will be sad to see him go. We've grown up with him and his tough childhood, so it'll be hard to say goodbye to him, but that is exactly why he could be the one to go. However, Kishi has already killed him off once, so it really won't feel the same if he died again.

Next, we'll go to the Mizukage, Mei Terumi. Who is the Mizukage? Exactly. We know absolutely nothing about the Mizukage. We really have no reason to care about the Mizukage. So if she's the one to die, there won't be any emotional impact on us. It would just feel the same as if she was one of those thousands of fodder ninja that Madara already killed. Maybe if we get some backstory on her and some motives, we'll start to feel something for her, and her death would not be a waste. But still, unlikely.

Let's move on to the Raikage, A. We know somethings about A, like how far he's willing to go to protect Killer B. He was willing to go as far as killing Naruto to protect the world! We know that he's not a huge fan of Minato. We know that he's arrogant, gets mad a lot , and he isn't one to reason with, usually. But still, he's a good guy. As a supporter of the protagonist (sort of), you're supposed to like him. But he's not one of those guys that would really be easy to like. I don't like him that much, but he's still a good guy who cares about others, and I respect that. It won't impact me that much if he dies, but it might for others. Also, if he dies, it might lead to an interesting case where Killer B becomes the Fifth Raikage!

Tsunade vs Madara. This is where it gets personal. The granddaughter of the First Hokage vs his rival. Madara said that he would aim to kill Tsunade first, since he hates the Senju clan and its descendants. Being the granddaughter of the man that he most respected and despised, Madara has his own reasons to want to kill Tsunade. It would make sense if he kept true to his word, and showed that the Will of Fire is weak while the Curse of Hatred lives on. It would also be very emotional to see such an important character like Tsunade to die, and only make us hate Madara more. However, due to Dan's recent rescue of Tsunade, she regained her chakra back, and Dan told Tsunade that it wasn't her time to die yet, so now Tsunade has a much smaller chance of dying now.

Finally, we have the Third Tsuchikage, Onoki. This battle is also personal for Onoki as he knew Madara when he was a child and he fought with him in the past. When we first saw Onoki, he was just an old, decrepit man with aging ideals. But when Gaara spoke to him for the first time, he underwent a slow, gradual change, showing his growth as an understanding, wise man who believed in the younger generation. If he dies, we as viewers will feel something for him, and it will show that villains can be victorious when it comes to their messed up ideals. The series will have a different feel to it. Also, his death would have the most impact on the other kage, especially Gaara and Tsunade. In conclusion, Onoki would be the best person to kill.

That's all, folks!!!
