Serious Frolicking posted:Edit: Please please please don't make them power-up demonstration fodder. That would suck so hard. What on earth would give you the idea that they won't go down like the previous 6 paths? Your best bet for that is to have B take them on while Naruto spreads his clones throughout the ninja army and ferrets out the white zetsus. Actually, given the way that Naruto's being paralleled hard core to Jesus there's pretty much no way he doesn't get killed at some point in the future as a sacrifice to save the ninja world. poo poo, I think you could make an argument that he's performed an analog of all Jesus' miracles except for turning water in to wine, reattaching a severed ear, and coming back from the dead. The only question is does Kikashi become Hokage after Tsunade does Chiyo's healing jutsu on Naruto, or does Naruto just leapfrog into the position.

Don't forget; unlimited eye hacks, unquenchable fire he can control, lightning sword bullshit, and an invulnerable shield/giant chakra god guy who can shoot arrows now or something? also a magic sword that seals anyone away into a parallel dimension Don't forget, he can also trade in an eye for a wish from a Genie. I wouldn't be surprised if he's carrying around a spare set or two of eyes with him now.

Serious Frolicking posted:People sometimes have hair, blood and other body parts before they die. It isn't that strange that there would be a bunch of bits and pieces floating around. Big O had that huge information network run by Kabuto and years with which to find said pieces. Plus, you know, dramatic license. Kabuto found all those body parts because otherwise there would be no army of undead ninja luminaries. There's a few ninjas in the zombie army from before Orochimaru went science mad, and a few more from soon enough after that finding extraneous blood or hair samples is super highly unlikely.

Teek posted:For Edo Tensei to work, all Kabuto needs is one cell to get the needed DNA. That gives him the key to pull their soul back. Kabuto was in Konoha for a long time, and being Mr. Spy, it was probably easy for him and Orochimaru to get whatever DNA they needed. And it's not like the needed a body to get it. "This is Nidaime Mizukage's legendary sword on display", all he has to do is break in and swab it to grab some cell samples. I wonder how many janitors and random cold sufferers by got zombified in horrible Edo Tensei accidents.

Why would he even need to implant the beasts when the host apparently retains the powers of the beast even when it's been extracted. Unless Gaara's sand control was innate and not Shikau's doing.

The fact that a one tailed beast is apparently the paraplegic monkey of the tailed beasts aside, the Sand would then lose their metaphoric nuclear deterrent with no guarantee of either getting it back or having it not fall into the hands of an enemy.

Angry Grimace posted:The problem is that Kishimoto never gave us any reason to actually buy into the theory that whatever the Uchiha were doing was actually sufficient grounds for brutally slaughtering them all, rather than, you know, sending them to another village or something. No, Kishimoto gave plenty of reason to buy into the idea that Uchiha had to die to prevent a coup. What still hasn't been established is why all the Uchiha had to die. I mean, Sasuke didn't know anything about the plot and he was the son of the Clan leader. Surely other kids, at the very least, didn't know and yet were brutally murdered. Wouldn't the better plan be to have Itachi "go crazy" and kill all the ring leaders and planned participants in the coup while leaving the rest of the clan intact? Leaving the blame on Itachi while still accomplishing the mission of stopping the coup while also maintaining your strategic eye hack reserve and not killing innocent people seems like a much better plan.

Angry Grimace posted:The other evidence is that he's wearing a mask at all. Why would Tobi wear a mask if he was just Madara Uchiha, who we've seen in a number of flashbacks? There isn't any narrative purpose if he's not someone we would know behind the mask. Until recently it served his purpose to both maintain the belief that Madara Uchiha was dead and to remain anonymous to his enemies and 90% of his allies. It's actually a little bit ninja.

Paper Lion posted:That's fair and all but, and this is my big gripe with him, he revealed himself. Why didn't any kages, especially that old fucker that probably personally MET madara at some point, say "oh you're madara, take off the mask and prove it." Or, if he wanted to prove he was madara (because seriously why would any of them just outright believe such an outlandish claim by someone that has been deceiving them the whole time and openly admits his entire world domination plot REVOLVES AROUND DECEPTION) he could just take the drat mask off during the reveal (or at least show up on a sherman come on bro Did he reveal himself to everyone, or just tell team Kakashi who then told Konoha who then told the allied nations? And as long as he's wearing a mask he can always play the Doombot card.

Cbouncerrun posted:^^^^I don't get what you're confused about, it's been explained pretty clearly. Jiraiya's about the only guy I don't think it could be. He's been specifically ruled out by Kabuto, who of course could be lying but had no real reason to do so. The 4th seems to be ruled out, but wasn't specifically ruled out by Kabuto so there's always some stupid loophole even though it would be dumb since Naruto already got closure with pops.

It's just one big argument between the 4th and the 3rd over whether Naruto is Konoha's up and coming star or it's biggest underachieving delinquent. The 1st and 2nd are really tired of it, especially since they have no idea who this Naruto kid even is.

I wouldn't be surprised if we didn't get a clone recall pretty soon since Itachi is apparently off to handle the zombie invasion. Especially the one in the current chapter, he's either going to get beaten and go poof or recalled right after winning.
