Nice to see Naruto again, even if only for a bit.
Thanks to Ino-Shika-Chou we get to see some more ninja tactics instead of powergaming, good chapter.
So there is some link between Naruto and Gin (or is it Kin?) using the Kyuubi chakra.
Now its time for Shikamaru to shine.
I dug this chapter
also, great to see naruto
antsy for next week.
I also really liked how they sealed they guy. That was some good writing I thought.
When man invented the bicycle he reached the peak of his attainments. Here was a machine of precision and balance for the convenience of man. And (unlike subsequent inventions for man's convenience) the more he used it, the fitter his body became. Here, for once, was a product of man's brain that was entirely beneficial to those who used it, and of no harm or irritation to others. Progress should have stopped when man invented the bicycle. ~Elizabeth West, Hovel in theHills
forgot naruto was still charging his kamehameha
Also, gourd is OP
can you buy some chakra-meat at the market?
Oh sure all kinds of flavors of chakra meat. Come in and have a look!
That was a good chapter, and it has been a long time coming. More thinking and strategy please.
They could have stretched that into a another chapter or two, seemed a bit forced. Funny how things they should stretch they don't and things they shouldn't they do...
I feel like shikamaru's dad reaching to the kids was like Kishimoto trying to reach into his own story and bring on board some ninjas that can actually utilize some clever strategies. Even if it still involves another cheesy as hell artifact.

on one hand, I'm impressed that a tactical strategy has actually worked (even if this was the only time their combination attack managed something, very much like the spirit bomb), and a victory was achieved without turning this into crap.
on the other hand, of course, there's the question of why build up the brothers so much, (unless it was to hint us that Madare has access to another bloodline of the 6sage), and the general problem that this arc doesn't seem to go anywhere soon.
other than that, Ninja magic is kinda buggy for me now, especially when mixed with science fiction super technology. they have ninja mind links that travel super far distance (despite the fact that earlier we have seen them using standard radio communications), super tools that suck out souls, shoot lasers and rebuild themselves. and worst of all, now they have a teleporter. what's stopping them from sending a big ball of bombs (like Konan's 6billion swans) into another village?
sig made by Itachi-y2k5, thanks, dude!
Currently Watching: probably a show directed at 9 years old girls, lets be honest.
You know the important distinction between Batman and me? Batman is fictional. In real life, there isn't always an alternative.
I literally could rage about every single page of this chapters. Kishimoto has officially given up. "Can send objects anywhere with the speed of light", "here´s the fifth mystical legendary item", ""chakra meat", "possibly descendants of rikudou sennin", "naruto feels a disturbance (of the force?!)", Darui keeping up with a multi-tails Jinchuuriki (he doesnt need sage mode or something like that, eh?), Shikaku talking to everyone exactly like Son Goku lol, and so on, and so on.
With each new piece of information, Kishimoto ruins this manga further.
I liked the chapter, and appreciate that the strategy was an effective surprise for the Kyuubi-eater, but the strategy was not clever. It was just a minor variation on what I-S-C have always done. Chouji starts off with a physical attack to distract the target. Shikamaru does the shadow bind to stop the target's movement. Ino does her mind swap. Didn't they try this plan on Hidan and again on Kakuzu? Naruto's usual plan of distracting the enemy with dozens/hundreds of clones doing taijutsu and then hitting the target with a rasengan is way better, even though we've seen it about 20 times now.Originally Posted by Assertn
We better see Madara actually do something soon, or this arc really is going nowhere. Killing off a few Kages is a start. Tsunade and the Raikage need to go if Naruto is going to lead the international unified army to victory.
"After all, I am strangely colored."
I liked this chapter for two reasons. It brought back some strategy to the mix of powers and magic, and I'm at a point in my manga reading life where I can suspend disbelief if there are enough good things to desperately cling to. I've made my piece quite some time ago with what this story has become. I dare not ever ask for a chapter better than this one.
"You are not free whose liberty is won by the rigour of other, more righteous souls. Your are merely protected. Your freedom is parasitic, you suck the honourable man dry and offer nothing in return. You who have enjoyed freedom, who have done nothing to earn it, your time has come. This time you will stand alone and fight for yourselves. Now you will pay for your freedom in the currency of honest toil and human blood."

Not to sound overly negative... but this whole chapter was fucking retarded
You sound rather positive to me
I'm not by any means a fan of the MFauli method of criticism but this time it just fit, i don't even feel like numerating all the idiotic aspects of the chapter since there were so many of them
Oh I'm not saying it hasn't been done before, but coupling the body swap with the artifact was still at least somewhat clever. I just think it's ridiculous that Shikamaru is the default go-to guy in the series any time a strategy that requires half a brain is necessary.

If anyone in the series could come up with simple stratagems then Kishimoto would have to rise the bar even higher every time Shikamaru sprung into action
And lets face it, this arc isn't well thought out, it's just fanservice. Hopefully though he'll use this time to work out the kinks on the plot that will soon follow.
I think Archangel is right. This Arc does just appear to be filler fanservice. Maybe the series is ending soon. There doesn't appear to be too much thought into it.
"Oh no! They have all the magic artifacts. What will we do?"
"It's impossible--but wait--aren't we forgetting the secret magic artifact?"
"Oh yeah, but how do we get it there?"
"Why don't we use plot device?"
"Cheers"
