Howdy, fandomers! I am SO excited after reading this weeks chapter! The previous chapter of Naruto (ch. 514) definitely left me wanting more T_T;;; and if things couldn’t be any worse, there would not be a chapter released the following week which created a dry period for people like myself who anticipate Naruto every Wednesday. But on a positive note, our dear frands at Mangastream released a translation for us much sooner than expected, yay!  This weeks chapter was epic on so many levels and made it worth the wait! Chiaki, who ALWAYS beats me when it comes to reading the manga first, said that this weeks chapter blew his socks off into the corner. I thought he was exaggerating, but after I finished reading it, I could see how that was possible lol. I have always been into Naruto, but this weeks chapter has made Naruto much more interesting than I could have ever anticipated. It was so good, I found myself jumping around my room, fist pumping, and then slapping myself because I didn’t read it sooner lol. But enough of my blathering, get your coffee and get ready because there is sooo much to talk about so let’s hop right into this weeks review!
As soon as Naruto’s attention is on the island, Aoba appears in a timely fashion to redirect his attention. Is it just me or did Kabuto and Aoba’s reaction seem a bit strange when they noticed eachother? Plus, I cant help but to wonder what Kabuto meant when he told Aoba “You’ve fallen farther than I have.”

Showing Sasuke was a very nice tease by Kishimoto. I am sure he knows that many of us would love to see Sasuke and his new pair of eyes, but I have the feeling we will just have to wait. ;__; Personally, I want to see them asap just so that I can add them to the current collection of Sharingan desktop icons that I created. But in time I’m sure we’ll get to see them. Sasuke seems pretty eager to unwrap his bandages but Zetsu tells him to be patient. At that very moment, there is a team of Leaf ninja above ground who have discovered the large army of Zetsu clones under ground thanks to Kabuto.  I am only speculating, but at this point I feel that Kabuto led the leaf to Madaras hideout so and so that he can play both sides and use the leaf (again) to take out Madara similar to the way he and Orochimaru used the Leaf in the past to take out a common enemy: Akatsuki. Isnt it interesting that all the members of Akatsuki that have been resurrected via Edo Tensi have ALL died to Leaf ninja.  But whatever, sorry for the derail. >_>

Inside the island, Killerbee starts training Naruto with his new form. And special thanks to Kishimoto who showed us what Naruto’s new form looks like in color! THANKS!! It will be exciting to see how strong Naruto becomes after his training session with Bee. ^.^ Narutos (chakra?) claw looks pretty darn cool. But for some strange reason, it reminds me of Susanoo lol. Outside of the island, Tsuchikage met with the Mizukage and filled her in on the events that just happened. Did you see Onoki moving the island?! Omgawdz haxx.  He was able to carry an entire island despite issued surrounding his back and hips. At Madaras hideout, Kabuto starts the process of extracting information from Yamato but notes that he does not want to kill him because he would also like to use him to make the Zetsu stronger. I think leaving Yamato at Madaras hideout ALIVE is even more of a reason to have the Leaf invade their hideout. Not only have the discovered the location of the hideout, but they also found the large amount of Zetsu clones, PLUS their comrade, Yamato, is prisoner there AND he’s still alive, so I think we can expect to see the Leaf make a move in the coming chapter. Another thing that should be noted is when Madara reveals that he could use the Rinnegan to learn everything that Yamato knows within an instant, but it would kill him. Haax? Well, I thought that was ubar until Kabuto said that none of that was even necessary because he created a truth serum and a special drug that will nullify Hashirama’s powers! Uhm, wow? When Kabuto injected Orochimaru’s cells into his body and went into hiding, he sure did his homework! I am only speculating, but what if it was Kabuto that worked on Danzo’s arm and not Orochimaru? Kabuto found a way to nullify the First Hokage’s cells which is pretty darn impressive. In that aspect, it seems he has surpassed Madara.

Thoughts?
