Naruto 489

Naruto is summoned to toad world to receive a special item.

This is why you should keep your eyes open when you eat.

Summary:
At Konoha, Karin is being questioned but she demands for some food before she'll spill the secrets. Meanwhile, Tsunade is gorging herself to recover her chakra. Kakashi drops in to thank Tsunade from preventing him from becoming Hokage, and the two start talking about the alliance and Madara's plans. A war meeting is quickly called, and Shikamaru is invited along.

Meanwhile, Naruto is at his favorite ramen stand when Sakura runs in and informs him that Tsunade is okay. After Sakura runs off to spread the news, Naruto gets ready to enjoy his ramen, but he is suddenly teleported to Myobokuzan and ends up eating a mouthful of worms. Fukasaku has summoned Naruto to appear before the Great Elder who gives Naruto a reading about his future. The Great Elder states that Naruto will meet an octopus and a guy with power in his eyes. Naruto understands what the second prediction means and is ready for it. The Great Elder orders another toad to hand Naruto the key to the Fourth's seal which will allow Naruto to fully release the nine-tails and is the key to completing some jutsu.

In some tunnels somewhere, Anko's team discover the bodies of a few ninjas who were murdered by Kabuto. Meanwhile, Kabuto greets Madara at Madara's secret base. Madara plans to take out Kabuto, but Kabuto convinces Madara to change his mind by using his resurrection technique to resurrect five dead Akatsuki members (Itachi, Saori, Deidara, Kakuzu (or Orochimaru? not sure), and Nagato). Kabuto then states that he wants to join forces with Madara.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The story of Naruto continues to move along at a brisk pace. I almost forgot the series was capable of moving this fast lol. There were some more interesting developments in this chapter. The biggest news is Kabuto showing off his resurrection technique and deciding to join forces with Madara. It seems Kabuto really did master Orochimaru's moves. If he could re. As for joining up with Madara, I think Kabuto might be trying to take advantage of Madara's resources for his own benefit. I would be very surprised if Kabuto and Madara didn't end up double-crossing each other by the end. It'll be fun to see how this arrangement works out. Probably won't be good new for the ninja alliance.

On to the other development, Naruto gets a special item from the toads. This is expected of course given that Sasuke now has Itachi's eyes, so Naruto has to receive an equivalent power up so the two will end up at the same level. I suppose it's good news that these two lover-boys have more techniques to beat the stuffing out of each other. As for the octopus prediction from the Great Elder, that probably means Naruto will run into Killer Bee soon.

    Kabuto was good looking guy before. Now... not so much.

  5. I originally thought that was Kakuzu, but it kind of looked like Orochimaru as well. I guess Kakuzu makes more sense.

  6. i really don't see why he needed to bring itachi back i mean the guy no longer has his eyes

  7. I think the zombies come with missing body parts, since many of their original body parts have decomposed. I doubt the zombies will be as powerful as the live versions.

    Yeah, the interrogation didn't make much sense. I guess Kishi thinks Karin has suffered enough.

    Kabuto's power doesn't come from his eyes though, so I still think the Great Sage is probably referring to Sasuke.

    The zombies probably have most or all the techniques, but to have the same amount of power as the live version... I don't know. If Kabuto can get zombie Itachi doing a full power Susanoo and zombie Nagato using his techniques at full power, Kabuto would be so powerful that he wouldn't need to care about Madara.

  9. I for one hope he is referring to Madara in this case since the guy probably has way more eye power that Sasuke (at least at this juncture) Unfortunately this is just wishful thinking since this is Naruto we're talking about.

    When it comes to Naruto, Sasuke is the immediate threat in any context or situation lol.

    As for the Madara-Kabuto alliance, I agree that there will be an infinite amount of backstabbing in the future. Maybe Kabuto will want revenge on Sasuke for killing off Orochimaru first?

  10. I'm not too mad about the zombies, since last time they busted the zombies out they didn't really talk or anything.

    Yeah, Naruto has met lots of people with power in their eyes. But it's probably Sasuke... probably.

    Sasuke will kill Kabuto for bringing out Itachi's zombie lol.

    @Kabitzin
    Well, if you are expecting Deidara to do his stand-up routine then you'll probably be disappointed.

  12. I like it when Shikamaru said that he will use every brain cells that he has to win the war. It's soo cool.
