Naruto 519 Review

I hope you will enjoy the review.
We are at the beginning of the 4th Great Shinobi World War. Even if this is shounen manga, the idea of a world war implies death and tragedy.


The chapter's title points us towards an entirely different direction. When we see Bijuu, we will definitely think: Naruto. So that means that the main focus of this chapter will be the actual main character.
From the looks of it, he might try to learn how to execute the Tailed Beast Bomb, or how readers call it Bijuu Blast. We've seen this move a few times, but the most detailed scene was when Naruto fought Orochimaru. We've seen Naruto, or Kyuubi releasing a huge amount of chakra(black and white), then compress it into a sphere and shoot it from the mouth. It was a devastating technique, a mass of pure chakra, which later Kakashi called Shape Manipulation.

But the beginning of the chapter, acts as the conclusion of the first skirmish of the war.

And this time it's Sasori's time to go. We have seen Sasori performing at his best, so as I have said in my previous review or previous posts, the main idea for having these people have their personalities is to serve as character development for the more important people of the support cast, in this case Kankuro.
I think this time the emotions were transmitted better, then with Shin. We have more panels of Sasori disintegrating, and even while at it, he still has things to say to Kankuro.

The main idea, or message in Sasori's death can be related to another important theme, that was introduced back in Part 1, and it was reformulated countless time since: to take care of the next generation, take care of the future of the village.
It starts with Kankuro explaining Sasori that controlling his real body means that he has lost as a puppeteer. Personally I thought last chapter, that Kankuro was thinking about Kabuto(pretty silly considering Sasori had his personality), but it turns out that he was thinking about himself. The moment Sasori became his puppet, he was no longer a puppeteer thus lost to him.

But the more outlined meaning of Kankuro's speech is the other interpretation of Sasori's form of art. Eternity in art means that the emotions that one have put in his creations will be transmitted to the next generation. He mentions the emotions that are put into a puppet, and considering that Sasori's first puppets were his parents, then we can see that the emotions are there. He also mentions the performance of the next generation another element in reaching eternity in creation. So by controlling Sasori's main creation, himself, it means that Kankuro is sure that he is a worthy successor of the legacy Sasori left behind.

Surprisingly enough Sasori accepts this, which is the trigger for unbinding his soul from Edo Tensei. In the end he refused to fight, and he acknowledged Kankuro as well. The reason why I'm saying surprising, because the influence of emotion wasn't something Sasori didn't consider when he took his own path to immortality. His conviction was that emotions weakens the shinobi, it brings hesitation, which is very detrimental. Kankuro's point of view on the other hand involves a lot of emotion, but not something frail. The thought for the next generation and the emotions put into creation helps people to strengthen themselves, thus eliminating that hesitation Sasori talked about.

This how Sasori strengthened his conviction in his art, and managed to free himself from Kabuto's grasp. In the end, by choosing emotions, Sasori was more artist, then shinobi. RIP.


But the war is not over. This was only the first fight, and Deidara has been captured, and Chuukichi is lurking somewhere to crush enemies. This way the focus on the ambush squad is maintained, and by having two enemies that can actually disturb they actions, the following events will be very interesting, since Kankuro and co. are marching directly towards the enemy, in order to ambush them. So that's why at some point in time they might found themselves pretty outnumbered, and maybe even outclassed.
The reason I mention outclassed is because we are witnessing a short conversation between the masterminds of the enemy side. Kabuto offers Madara to head towards the battlefield as he stays behind to concentrate on his jutsu. But Madara is not a fool and he quickly realizes that Kabuto led Anko to the hideout, but in the end he still claims that he is using him.
Nobody expected less from Madara, he is confident in his in abilities of manipulating others. But how will this play out? Let's assume that Madara will head out. Kabuto will remain at the hideout and he can have all the research materials he needs, he can interfere with Madara's ultimate goal as well, he might even try to take out the blind Sasuke. Maybe that's what Madara is hoping for? To match up Sasuke against Kabuto so that Sasuke would test his new eyes? I'm also wondering what Kabuto's plans are back there at the hideout, so I will ask you dear readers to share your thoughts about this. The mystery it's really at its peak, so it would be cool if anyone would actually crack the secret, before it's revealed.

Another important element in this first part of the chapter is the conclusion about Edo Tensei. Unfortunately this conclusion doesn't serve Kankuro very well, because they have limited knowledge about the jutsu. They have only encountered the zombies who had their personalities intact, so by defeating them, they arrived at the obvious conclusion that emotions are very hard to restrain. But the important question is if they arrived at this conclusion, why didn't Kabuto take the necessary measures to avoid such situations, because he is the user of the jutsu.


It's a really interesting progression of the war, though it kind of slowed down this chapter, but we had some character development going on, so it is a balanced, good chapter.

But the second part is where the party starts. We have Naruto on stage, and I think there's nothing better than having him as main character of a chapter. Bee is also great, but I think the most important thing is that they are in the middle of training, a very important one, and probably the last. As we've seen in the title, Naruto is on route to Bijuu Blast, but we've only seen fully transformed Jinchuurikis do that.

That's what I'm talking about. Fully transformed Jinchuuriki FTW. I'm not really into cute little cudly foxes, but I found this scene very funny, and which was better, it seemed like a little tribute to the early, prehistoric beginning of Naruto's story.

I also found the construction of the scenes that led to this panel very ingenious. First we have Bee introducing the last step of the training. To learn the most powerful move a Jinchuuriki can do. And the first step to achieve it is to fully transform into the Bijuu. Until now it's all cool, but Naruto expresses his concerns about this whole transformation thing. So he was worried, and frankly I was a bit worried as well, because I kind of expected Naruto to have some sort of agreement with Kyuubi first, then proceed to this whole transformation thingy. And even if Bee calmed down Naruto, the tension was rising, and Naruto began to transform, he even showed signs of chakra bubbles, which is Kyuubi's trademark, and then.

That's why I think this was one of the most funny scenes in a long time. Of course funny faces, and good ol' stupid Naruto can be fun from time to time, but this...oh man.

But as serious members that we are, we should take a look at the what that meant, and how will it influence Naruto's future...but that was funny as hell.

Ok, so actually what that meant is related to my reason of concern earlier, and that is the non-friendly relationship Naruto and Kyuubi is having. It's the conclusion of Bee, so it's official, Naruto will have to tame Kyuubi in order to fully use its power. What more, the chakra Naruto managed to steal from Kyuubi is limited, so basically Naruto as awesome as he may have been in that fight, didn't really manage to get Kyuubi's entire power.
Interestingly enough, this doesn't mean that Kyuubi has actually no say in the matter, and that he is completely sealed away behind those fancy bars.

The actual mechanism or let's say relationship between the Jinchuuriki and the Bijuu is described by Hachibi and it's like this. When the user is in basic, version 1 tailed mode, the chakra that is in use is the chakra of the bijuu. But this is an even trade. As the Jinchuuriki is permitted to use the Bijuu's chakra, the same goes for the Bijuu, who can use it's hosts chakra and consume it, making it its own, whatever. So that's why staying long enough in that mode, or even making Kage Bunshins is forbidden, because it's too risky.

The reason why Bee can stay in that mode and even switch between version is that Bee and Hachibi have a chakra deal. Bee managed to tame his beast, therefore he also succeeded in having a talk with the beast and reaching an agreement. The agreement is most likely a limit, maybe a percentage of the amount of chakra each party can use during a transformation. That seems fair, but it also seems impossible in Naruto's case. That's why the first step towards Bijuu Blast is already a failure, that's why Hachibi tells Naruto that he must use this transformation to further enhance or hone his own skills. Surprisingly Naruto understood everything from this explanation. I know this wasn't something hard to understand, but Naruto managed to follow the entire train of thought, and as a curious person that he is, he asks about Bijuu Bomb.

Notice that the fun we had earlier is already gone, we're stepping further into serious explanations, life threatening jutsus. This Bijuu Bomb is also something that's no joke either. Naruto recognizes the jutsu from Hachibi's description, as he had seen it when he fought Kyuubi. It's really powerful, and its shot from the mouth, but because it's a pure chakra blast, it meanst that the Bijuu is firing out something that's part of him, through his mouth, so it feels like vomiting.

I know I mentioned that Bijuu Bomb is no joke, but actually Naruto can turn anything into that. He is the type of guy who catches up on the easy to understand analogies, which are present in the ordinary life. That's why he only understood Pa's natural energy explanation, when Gamakichi used the icecream analogy for example. This situation is similar. The moment he heard that firing this blast is like vomiting, well guess what
What he didn't know, that when performing a blast of any kind through the mouth, there's always the need of pressure. When Fugaku taught Sasuke, he told him to gather as much chakra as he can, compress it and let it go in an instant.

So I considering Hachibi's description, and the actual description of a blast, I would compare the Bijuu Bomb to vomiting while being drunk. When someone drinks a lot, there's a lot of pressure building up in the stomach, so when the final drop of alcohol arrives the scene and it breaks the balance of food and alcohol, then the pressure goes wild, much like a Bijuu Bomb

So there's no need to exercise Bijuu Bomb, that's why Bee came back, and it has been decided to try Rasengan in Bijuu Mode. He also told Naruto not to worry about his inability to do Kage Bunshin. The mental image of the chakra around him, enables Naruto to use every bit of that chakra like he wants. He can transform his chakra into hands for example and use that to form the Rasengan.

This ability is a very versatile one. Naruto can grow multiple limbs for example, stretch them, and in the same time to make the Rasengan, and scratch his own back. The instant I read this part, I though that even if the Bijuu Bomb is compressed at first, after it's swallowed it should blow up, but the mental image of the ball remaining compressed inside enables the user the release it. So my mind went further, and after the manga mentioned vomiting, I thought I add an extra to it...now imagine that Naruto is forming the mental image of a Bijuu Bomb while something like this is happening, remembering that only a mental image is required, and the chakra can be manipulated all over the body.

 That's why I think this was one of the most funny scenes in a long time. Of course funny faces, and good ol' stupid Naruto can be fun from time to time, but this...oh man.

But as serious members that we are, we should take a look at the what that meant, and how will it influence Naruto's future...but that was funny as hell.

Predictions/Want to happen

I'm very sure that we won't see Naruto next week. Maybe 1 or 2 little scenes with him perfecting the new technique, but not anything relevant. Therefore the focus should be on the war, and I think it will be. Personally I don't really care which side, but I'm also pretty certain that there will be no confrontations. Kankuro needs to plan the ambush, Madara is still yet to head out, so I think the most we could get as action would be the cliffhangers. That's just the war I see it, though, and almost every time Kishi does something else, which is good though, because I'm caught by surprise, positive or negative(well at least it's not predictable

Please feel free to post outrageous stuff. Opinions of the review and the chapter are welcome

What fates await the Straw Hats in the end?



Straw Hats
Fate ??

When Luffy has become the pirate king. And they have reached Raftel

What fates await them afterwards?

Will they be hunted down? Or will the Will of D. and the truth about the void century overthrow the world government and pardon them all of their crimes?

Will Luffy keep on going on new adventures and visit the other islands and oceans that he didnt visit the first time he went thru the grand line?

Will Usopp go home a brave sea warrior and marry his princess?

Will Nami publish her map of the entire world?

Will Sanji start a new sea resturant and invent the magnicifigent yoghurt?

Will Zoro become a restless warrior like Mihawk? Sailing the ocean alone constantly awaiting new challenges?

Will Robin find peace and start a school or university?

Will Brook start living on the little island inside of the big whale?

Will Chopper find himself a female human that has eaten the Raindeer Raindeer fruit?!

Will Franky become so super his superness will be superwritten in to the superbooks of awesomeness for all eternity of super? Or will he just grab a coke and chill on the beach?

Whats your theory? How will the story end?

Kabuto's army

So...
It seems that Kabuto is making is whole army of great Shinobi...


The kind of conversation we can have here:
- Who else will Kabuto summon?
- Will someone get free, and who?
- What could be the match-ups?
- etc.

----------------

So far, here's the army we know of:

5

Akatsuki


- Deidera
- Sasori
- Kakuzu
- Itachi
- Nagato




6

former Jinchuriki


- Yugito Nii (2-tails)
- Yagura (3-tails)
- Roshi (4-tails)
- Han (5-tails)
- Utakata (6-tails)
- Fuu (7-tails)



3

former Kages


- Sandaime Raikage (Ee & Killerbee's father)
- Yondaime Kazekage (Gaara's father)
- Unknown Kage*

*Most likely from the Rock, since Kabuto already has one of each of the other country, except the Fire




-

Great Shinobi


From the Leaf:
- Hizachi Hyugga (Neji's father)
- Dan (Tsunade boyfriend)
- Asuma


From the Mist:
- Zabuza
- Haku



From elsewhere
- Chiyo (Sand)
- Hanzo (Rain)
- Kimmimaro (Sound)



So, in my opinion, who else are we likely to see brought back to life?

From the Leaf:

Surely we will see those ones:
- Jiraiya
- Sakumo (Kakashi's father)
- Danzou

It would also be nice to see those ones:
- Shusui Uchiha (He's been so hyped that we simply NEED to see him)
- Torune & Fuu (If they are dead... it would be a waste not to see them again)
- Nawaki (If Dan is not enough, her brother would certainly throw Tsunade off)
- Kushina
- Sasuke Sarotobi (Sandaime's father)
- Obito and Rin (That would surely throw off Kakashi)
- Sasuke's parents (Only if Kabuto wants to fight against Sasuke)
- Chiruku (Asuma's friend, the monk)

From the Sand:
For sure:
- Sandaime Mizukage (the one with the metal dust jutsu)

Maybe:
- Yashamaru (Gaara's uncle whom he killed when he was young, if he wants to throw Gaara off)

From the Rock:
- ...

From the Mist:
- All of the previous swordman of the mist, including:
- Kisame
- Suigetsu's brother

From the Cloud:
- Motoi's father

From elsewhere:
- Konan

And of course, there are still plenty of dead Kages available...

Possible Reasons you don't wanna die in One Piece!

Now when I talk about death in One Piece, I have to also list many things that should lead to death but never do. In fact it takes some serious wounds to die in One Piece, and even then you don't die instantly.

Reason #1 - We've seen Kizaru knock people into walls at the speed of light and cause explosions on contact. The person didn't die he just was in agonizing pain. We've seen the worse case scenarios of impossible survival and no matter what kind of pain you have to endure, Oda won't let these people die.

=======================================
10 Situations I'd choose death over Survival in One Piece:
=======================================

1 - Spandam vs. Robin, If I were him, I would have wanted to die instantly

2 - A Kizaru kick, I'd have rather been splattered and died instantly then to have to go through the after effects of that Kick

3 - WB's 10th Division Commander, He survived a full body hit by Akainu. There are so many reasons why I would not want to survive that

4 - Luffy surviving the poison, and then Iva's healing hormones - just hell no.

5 - Lucci surviving the JET Gattling, if you saw it, then yea, you know what I mean

6 - Taking Eneru's lightning without rubber abilities

7 - Zoro taking Luffy's pain, I'd cry like a little b*tch for 182 days straight

8 - Robin vs. Franky's Balls... Not as serious as the others, but I'd want to die still

9 - Usopp getting hit by Mr. 4's 4-Ton Hammer and simultaneously getting my skull cracked and launched several stories into the air and coming down to land on my nose. I don't see why people think Usopp can't take a hit, lol

10 - By working for Gedatsu... If you are dumb enough to work for him all I can say is " HOW CARELESS!!! "

=============================================

The only "Confirmed" Deaths we have in One Piece (Not Counting Non Relevant Fodder) are Ace and WB and even so, their deaths were horrendous and things I wouldn't wish on my worse enemy's greatest nightmare.

Ace - Charred Arm From Akainu's Magma, And then a hole that "Burnt up all his insides" -- The fact that he dies from this isn't the scary part, the fact that he died a couple of MINUTES after this is horrifying. Can you imagine that pain all the way up to your death. *Shudders*

And everybody knows all the damage WB had to take to die. I'll leave it to one of you guys to quote it exactly, but it is actually very horrible to think about. Not to mention half his face was ripped/burnt off, and the fact that BB got intimate with his dead body under cover is just wrong. But he wanted that forbidden fruit

=============================================

So with what all it takes just to pass away in the One Piece world, would you wanna die there. Would you even wanna get hurt there. Maybe the rapper 50 Cent would fit right in, besides Eminem's already here (Eneru)

Okay, I'd like some feed back on my little fun post right here, if you can call it fun.

Edo Tensei can be 'ended' by the souls coming to peace?

To speak frankly, I think how Sai's resurrected brother, Shin, was 'defeated' was pretty lame. His soul got some sort of closure from seeing that Sai finished the infamous 'I have bonds too!" book....and then Edo tensei ended???? Lame.

Granted, we have very little info about Edo Tensei as a whole...so I won't be able to completely defend that it doesn't make sense......but it doesn't make sense to me and here's why...

I don't understand how the soul itself that is resurrected could have any bearing on the technique itself that the user performs [Kabuto in this case]. If Kabuto is the one binding the soul to the living world, then how can the soul itself release that 'binding'. Now, I would be much more understanding if Shin did a sealing tech (or anti-sealing tech) or any technique for that matter (ninjutsu, genjutsu), but alls he did was reach peace and then his soul was not bound. That brings up the assumption that anyone who is resurrected is not at peace....while that is possible, it is not very probable.

It's just a weird situation now that it's happened. Could it be prevented if Kabuto takes 'full control' of the zombies so they don't have a personality to reach closure??? What about people who died 'in peace'??? Did all of the people that Kabuto resurrected not have any sort of peace or closure when they died? Did all of them die unexpectedly in battle? Didn't any of them die from natural causes where they could have reached peace on their own? What about if they did die in battle, but reached peace before they died (like Jiraiya).

So now with all the rest of the zombie battles are we gonna have to see a bunch of sappy "closure" speeches and all the zombies reaching 'peace'??? I could handle that for a couple zombies, but all of them...yuck! That's gonna be a lot of sappy speeches in addition to all of Naruto's sappiness that will have to come up to 'bring peace to the ninja world'.

I just think this is a cheesy way to deal with the 'undefeatable' zombies that we thought would bring cool revelations and cool techniques to seal them....not sappy words and speeches (like the one Kankuro is having with Sasori).

Am I the only one that thinks this is gonna be superbly lame if all teh zombies are going to be defeated in this manor? I shouldn't jump to conclusions, but I'll be disappointed if all these bad-ass zombies are defeated by hugs-no-jutsu.

Naruto 519 SPOILERSS

Sasori entrusted the Dad & Mom puppets to Kankurou, and asked him to pass them down the generations (because apparently, Sasori put a lot of “soul” in making those puppets, which was what made him strong). And after being convinced by Kankurou, Sasori disappeared in peace. Deidara was WTF and shouting to be released from the puppet which kept him prisoner. The ambush squad discussed on how they had found Edo-tensei’s weakness.

Madara grew suspicious about Kabuto leaking their whereabouts to the alliance, because Anko veered too close to their hideout, and Kabuto was able to trace her immediately. Madara thought to himself that the one who was “using” the other was himself, not the other way round.

The next jutsu of Naruto was indeed about Bijuu-mode. Naruto tried and failed in turning (?) into the Kyuubi and became a little fox instead (lol). Apparently it was because Naruto and the Kyuubi lacked in bonds. Hachibi came out and explained to Naruto about the huge risk of using the Bijuu-mode.

The Bijuu-mode had the Jinchuuriki and the Bijuu draw chakra from each other. If the Naruto-chakra was drained completely by the Kyuubi, Naruto would die. He was also reminded not to use Kagebunshin in Bijuu-mode, since Kyuubi would immediately draw on all the chakras of the bunshins as well, causing immediate death. The chakra trade was supposed to be negotiated between the two, but Kyuubi didn’t seem to be “that type” (figures). Hachibi told Naruto to give up on learning Bijuu-dama (the ultimate chakra blast of a Bijuu).

Naruto decided to use Rasengan on his usual mode instead (because he needed KBs for the jutsu), but his Rasengan split (!?). Bee was surprised seeing the jutsu, and asked who taught Naruto that. Naruto replied that it was taught by Jiraiya, and invented by the Fourth Hokage. Bee reacted upon the mention of the Fourth with excitement, and thought “What a coincidence!”. (! potential plot twist!?)

Naruto complained about the usual Rasengan not working, and Bee talked about how the Bijuu-chakra had + and – chakra. The white and black ratio should be 8:2 to form a sphere (Greek to me).

Naruto continued training…

part of the last part of the script by shounensuki:

because you’ll be dead before you know it! I actually negotiated with my bijū for the chakra exchange. The Kyūbi isn’t the type for that. Furthermore, the Kyūbi’s chakra is limited, because you took it from the Kyūbi in a tug of war.”
Naruto: “…Man, the risk is huge… And despite this, I cannot even use the jinchūriki’s supreme technique…?”
Hachibi: “Well, let’s just give up on the Bijū Ball… Training your special technique further is a better idea.”
Naruto: “Bijū Ball? What kind of technique is that?”
Hachibi: “It’s quite simple. You use shape transformation on your own chakra to accumulate it in your mouth and compress it, before firing it.”
Naruto: “That’s…”
Hachibi: “It feels just like vomiting”
Naruto: “The let’s try it in this mode.”
hachibi: “It’s impossible if you’re not changed into your bijū. Let me explain it first… Turn back B…”
B comes back out. “It’s no use… I’m giving up. Nothing left to do but try your special move in your Bijū Chakra mode… Diligently♪”
Naruto: “If I can’t use Kage Bunshin, the Rasengan isn’t suited for this mode. I have to concentrate on releasing the chakra and rotating and compressing it. I need two pairs of hands for the shape transformation…”
B: “The bijū chakra feels the same as your own hands and feet♪ They’re like illusionary versions of your real hands and feet♪”
Naruto: “I see… Like that, hm.”
Naruto makes a hand appear behind his back.
B: “That’s a nice performance♪ Now have a go at your special technique like this. You’re nearing success♪”
Naruto: “Alright!! Rasengan!! Eh?!”
B: “!?” (That’s…!!)
Naruto: “Uwa!!”
The Rasengan unravels and Naruto returns to his normal form.
B: (That technique! It’s just like a Bijū Ball! Fool!! Bastard!!)
“Hey, Naruto… That technique. What idiot taught you that?!!”
Naruto: “Eh?! Ehm… Ero-Sennin… Ah, right! Jiraiya-sensei… It was created by the Yondaime Hokage, though!”
B: “…!!” B’s shoulder trembles. (The Yondaime Hokage…!! How unexpected… Is this Fate?! A miracle♪)
B: “Rasengan! That’s just like performing a Bijū Ball! Commonness♪ A technique invented by referencing to the Bijū’s technique! That’s what Rasengan is! It’s as if the Bijū Ball was entrusted to you!! Lucky♪ It’s simple when you’re in Bijū form, but in human form, the shape transformation is so difficult, it’s nearly impossible. However, there’s a way to increase the stability while rotating the chakra!!”
Naruto: “But I didn’t even succeed in doing a Rasengan properly…”
B: “Bijū chakra is a combination of plus chakra and minus chakra… a balance! When you compress it, the balance between white and black should be 8:2, before turning it inro a sphere! Try it!”
Naruto: “Alright!”

Towards Naruto’s new technique!!

Sengoku

Sengoku1.png



Former Fleet Admiral Sengoku (Sengoku Gensui) was thesupreme commander of all the Marine forces in the world, his status apparent by the life-size seagull attached to his hat. He was one of the major figures along with Edward Newgate, Shiki, and Monkey D. Garp while Gol D. Roger was still alive, and still continues to be in the present, even after his resignation from the Marines.

Sengoku is a tall and muscular, yet spry, roughly middle-aged man with a long braided beard and a mustache. He is usually seen alongside his pet goat. He typically wears glasses and a full Marine Admiral uniform that is adorned with medals. The most distinctive features of this uniform are a life-size seagull on top of his cap and his oversized Marine coat, which he wears like a cape. His cap covers his hair, which is set in a large afro. When he uses his powers, his hat is knocked off, revealing his afro.

Twenty years before the present storyline, when Sengoku was already an Admiral, he did not cover his afro and had a beardless face. During his orders to Saul to bombard Ohara, he wore a less-regal attire than he does in the present storyline, a simple black tank top, blue jeans, and his glasses, which is unlike a typical Admiral's formal suit; the only Marine related attire he wore at the time apparently was his Marine coat, draped over like a cape. However, when he was fighting Shiki in Marineford, he was wearing a black suit under his coat.

Sengoku appears to be a proud man who is loyal to the World Government and, up until the cover-up of the Impel Down incident, never questioned orders. He also won't accept any reason for letting a criminal go and also has a habit of getting very irritated with failure. While it has not been revealed what kind of justice Sengoku follows, he certainly does not shy away from actions that falls under the code of Absolute Justice. From his view, the Shichibukai are just pirates, though he notes how valuable they can be when the time comes. However as the years went by, he appears to be losing his faith in the government, shown after the Whitebeard War when he was angry at the order from the government to cover up the break-out incident in Level 6 of Impel Down to save face and keep the faith of the people, thus placing nations in danger. This eventually led Sengoku to resign from the Marines.

As of late, it would seem that he has become concerned over the movements of the Straw Hat Pirates, and has followed their movements ever since they left Water 7, though at the time his current concern was about the upcoming war against Whitebeard, to the point that he brushed off the incident of the attack of a Tenryuubito and left it to the Admirals. Upon hearing about Luffy's break-in of Impel Down, Sengoku was so frustrated that he almost took it out on Garp, and had come close to losing his patience with the antics of the Monkey family in general.

Sengoku also believes that a person's birth (with the consideration of the parents' reputation) is enough to determine the potential impact they could bring to the world if left unchecked, such as Ace being Roger's son and Luffy being Dragon's son. This is shown at Ace's execution where one of the main reasons for Ace's execution was not because he was a pirate, but because he was the son of Gol D. Roger and he believed that Ace must be executed by any means necessary even if that meant an all out war with Whitebeard.

His epithet Sengoku the Buddha may seem ironic at best because through the course of the series, he has shown himself to be an extemely calm, composed, collected man, he has also shown himself to be quite capable of violence. Doflamingo remarked on this irony when the Shichibukai convened at Mariejois to chose a successor for Crocodile. However, with the revelation of his Devil Fruit, it would seem his epithet's origins come from his fruit's ability, exactly like the three current Admirals. He also appears to have some common sense, as shown when he ordered the Whitebeard War to be over and ordered for people to tend to the wounded. His Justice isn't as uncompromising as Akainu's; it seems to be more of a mix of both absolute and moral justice, as he did make a large speech about morality. He also called the war to an end upon Ace and Whitebeard's demises, after Shanks made his appearance. An another hint of Moral Justice is also shown when he got infuriated when the World Government decided to cover-up the break-out of the Level 6 Impel Down prisoners released by Blackbeard, although he once said not to question the World Government's orders.

Twenty two years ago, Sengoku was shown to be loyal to the World Government and did not like anyone questioning them, he was shown though to be losing his trust in them, especially the Gorousei, as the years went by. This was proven by showing how angry he was at the Government's decision not to put bounties on the many criminals who had escaped from Level 6 of Impel Down. This is also shown by his outburst at their decision to keep quiet about the breakout, even though any one of the escapees could potentially destroy a country.

As the commanding officer of the entire Marine force, Sengoku had absolute power over every action the Marines do, including summoning a Buster Call. The only ones that are above him and command him are the Gorousei and Commander-in-Chief Kong. However, with his resignation came the loss of such authorities.

24 years ago, when Shiki was causing havoc in Marineford hearing about the capture of Roger, Sengoku fought alongside Garp and together, they were powerful enough to subdue him, whilst destroying half the city in the process, and also keeping him imprisoned in Impel Down. Even without using his Devil Fruit powers, it is implied that Sengoku also has superhuman strength on his own, enough to hold down an enraged Garp.

He is also a military commander of the highest order, as demonstrated at Marineford. He is shown to have organizational and tactical skill, as his "Squardo plan" resulted in Squardo critically injuring Whitebeard and his "Siege Wall Plan" combined with Admiral Akainu's Meteor Volcano has succeeded in routing the Whitebeard Pirates and their allies, which led to the destruction of the crew's flagship, the Moby Dick. He was referred to as "Strategist Sengoku the Buddha", an apt name.

Sengoku ate the "Hito Hito no Mi, Model: Daibutsu", a rarer-than-LogiaJustify Full Mythical Zoan-class Devil Fruit which allows him to turn into almost like Buddha and becoming similar to a gigantic Daibutsu, which is probably the reason for his nickname. Nearby Marines claim that they have never seen him use this power before the war.

While enlarging, his Marine jacket, glasses, and pants enlarge with him; it is unclear what happens to the rest of his uniform. The color of his body (and uniform) seems to change to a dark color, appearing to be ominously shadowed at all times. In this form his body has different proportions, his torso and arms are much larger compared to the rest of his body.

This ability gives him a massive power boost to his already impressive strength, enough to cause the execution stand to collapse in one indirectly connecting punch, and that despite Luffy's Gomu Gomu no Gigant Fuusen which had absorbed the brunt of the attack.

Madara Uchiha


Madara Uchiha (Uchiha Madara) is a major antagonist of the series. He co-founded Konohagakure and Akatsuki, and was once the leader of the Uchiha clan.hen first introduced, he poses as Tobi, Deidara's partner in Akatsuki.

Before the era of ninja villages, Madara was the most gifted member of the Uchiha clan. Even by his clan's standards, Madara's chakra was unusually strong. He grew up in constant competition with his younger brother, Izuna Uchiha. In their efforts to surpass the other, each gained their own Mangekyō Sharingan. With the power of the Mangekyō the two brothers took control of the clan, with Madara acting as its leader. Under his leadership, the clan conquered all they came across. Because of the never-ending series of battles of the time, Madara eventually began to suffer from overuse of the Mangekyō Sharingan, leaving him blind. In order to regain his sight he took Izuna's eyes for himself, granting him an "eternal" Mangekyō Sharingan with which he led the Uchiha to prosperity. Madara insists Izuna consented to the act.

Over the years, the Uchiha had constantly fought with the equally powerful Senju clan. To bring an end to the constant fighting, the leader of the Senju, Hashirama Senju, approached the Uchiha with an offer of peace. Although Madara never wanted peace with the Senju, the rest of the Uchiha wished to end the fighting, and Madara had no choice but to accept. The Senju, the Uchiha, and all the clans they had conquered came together to form the village of Konohagakure. Against Madara's wishes, the villagers selected Hashirama as the village's First Hokage. Madara feared that Hashirama would oppress the Uchiha, and tried to rally support for challenging his leadership. Rather than help him, however, the Uchiha turned their backs on him, believing he only desired more power. Abandoned by his clan, Madara left the village, later returning in order to challenge Hashirama in battle. They fought at the site that would someday be called the Valley of the End, where Madara used the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox against Hashirama. Control of the Nine-Tails was ultimately taken from him and Madara was believed to have died.[5] Despite appearing to have been defeated and gravely weakened, he was somehow able to acquire a sample of Hashirama Senju's flesh to aid him in his future goals.[

Originally Madara's appearance bears long, spiky shoulder-length black hair with a blue tint. Unlike Izuna, Madara did not keep it tied in a ponytail. He also wore the standard Uchiha clan's outfit: a high collared black shirt with the clan's crest on his upper back and blue pants with bandages at the ends, though Madara tends to leave the collar of his shirt open. On his waist, he had a bandage belt that held a sack that presumably holds ninja tools.

After his fight with Konan, Madara's mask was changed to one that covers the entire upper-half of his head with a design that more resembles the Ten-Tailed Beast's single eye, consisting of a ripple-pattern with three tomoes around the center, two of which make out the mask's eye holes. He also returned to wearing his Uchiha black robes complete with Uchiha crest on its back, belt sash, gloves and a bandanna that tapers off down to his back, as well as wielding his war fan.

Madara is considered to be one of the most gifted ninja in history. He has been noted to have been born with particularly powerful chakra which the Nine-Tails claimed to be even more sinister than its own. Said to be the most powerful shinobi ever produced by the Uchiha clan, Madara possesses both formidable battle prowess and vast experience due to his advanced age. However, Madara has admitted that he is not as powerful as he was before his defeat by Hashirama Senju. The Nine-Tails' sealing into various jinchūriki also deprives him of a powerful weapon.

Madara had mastered his Sharingan at a young age, and received praise for this. With his Sharingan, Madara was able to apply a powerful genjutsu that allowed him to completely control the Fourth Mizukage, Yagura. Being of the Uchiha clan and somehow possessing the power of Hashirama Senju, Madara is able to use Izanagi: a technique his clan deemed a kinjutsu since the user's Sharingan is stricken with blindness and sealed away forever. His usage of the technique during his battle against Konan led to the sealing of his left eye.

After he stole Nagato's body, Madara removed his Rinnegan and implanted it into his left eye, replacing the Sharingan lost due to the usage of Izanagi.[16] The Rinnegan allows the user to use all six elemental natures as well as all the abilities of the Six Paths of Pain, since they are all Rinnegan abilities.

Naruto 518 Review - Abush vs Ambush

The status of the war.
Well the first fight begun between two ambush squads, everything was looking great for team Kabuto at the beginning but the role changed greatly in this chapter, however there's a big question... is this really over? or we are about to see a counterattack from the mist shinobi?. At this point Deidara and Sasori have been captured inside sanshouuo, however considering the experience of Sasori, we can expect a possible escape from this puppet or at least being released by mist shinobi.


There are thing that worries me about Kabuto, honestly I've never seen Kabuto being a genius as strategist, but as someone who can't be read and can be really tricky, we don't know yet what he is really after, neither what he is planning to do at the moment... why would he involve himself in a war that could last years like the previous shinobi wars, why would he wait quietly for Madara to hand over Sasuke, when it's clear that he can deal with Madara, or not?

Kankuro
Honestly I never expected Kankuro to become this good as character, this a clear sign of how good Kishimoto can makes character off-screen, he is good coordinating his troops and also did an amazing job with hiding Sanshouuo, still however the question remains, will it be enough against Edo Tensei?, are they just planning to restrain every ET till they find Kabuto?


Kankuro have done a great job, he have been reacting quickly to the situation and also performing greatly in this battle, not just as Captain, but also as fighter, however like in the Opera, is not over till the lady sings.

Sai
Sai is really an amazing fighter, maybe the best fighter in terms of techniques among the 12 current konoha rookies (and that's counting him in). I'm talking about hand to hand techniques, obviously you would say, what about lee?... well Sai is quite skilled in that area showing to deal properly with really powerful shinobi, like Sasuke.


However he was mentally affected by Shin's presence... in both ways positively and negatively. When he was fighting him he couldn't stop a second thinking that he was in fact fighting the real shin and that caused him to go into defensive mode, instead of offensive mode... but when Shin was gone, it cause him to show rage, maybe for first time ever in the manga, as most of the time he is expressionless.

Omoi's cloud style
Omoi has changed, there's not much time to think in war, at least no when you are in battle. I found the cloud style, like a reference to Konoha's wind style, the one used against Yuura... however it was quite cool that he was able to cut chakra threads.


The big question is here, is that a special knife, a chakra knife or something?, that should be explained in the next chapter.

Sasori and Deidara-ni
It was a bad day for Deidara and Sasori, they were doing really great in the previous chapter and had the control of the situation, for some of us maybe the fight were too quick (or at least it seems so far), but it was supposed to be like this when it comes about so many characters fighting at the same times, it had to be different.


Deidara and Sasori both had an advantage and a disadvantage. Their techniques and abilities are known... and so their weaknesses, but also they know how to deal with ET when Needed. The only advantage they have is the immortality granted by Edo Tensei.

Edo Tensei
So what we knew about Edo Tensei?, We knew that it:
  1. Requires dust from the tomb or place of death of the soul to be summoned
  2. It grants immortality to the summon as long the techniques remains active
  3. The only ways to totally defeat the technique is by extracting and sealing the summoned soul or by forcing the caster to release the jutsu.
  4. Edo Tensei can stay active even if the caster dies.



    However it seems that if you don't erase the personality of the summoned, it can actually release the jutsu by a strong emotions. This could be another weakness of Edo Tensei in general or maybe of the Talisman Kabuto is used. If is one on one battle leaving the feelings might result effective, but in squad vs squad situations like this could show up.

    This could happen again in scenarios like Tsunade vs Dan, Neji vs Hizashi, Sakura vs Chiyo, etc.

Eye of The Moon Plan

File:Infinite Tsukuyomi.jpg

The Eye of the Moon Plan is Madara Uchiha's ultimate plan for world domination, which seems to involve using Sasuke Uchiha to synchronize with the Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, which holds seven of the nine tailed beasts gathered by Akatsuki. Madara notes that after Sasuke has failed to capture Killer Bee and the Eight-Tailed Giant Ox, he has been cautious for too long, and that it is time to emerge from the shadows and commence with this plan. During his attack on Konoha, Madara named "starting a war to bring peace" as the reason for the attack, a poetic way to describe his ultimate plan.

After Madara revealed this plan to four of the five Kage at the Land of Iron, they responded in refusing to hand over the last two jinchūriki, Naruto Uzumaki and Killer Bee, and formed an Allied Shinobi Forces to prevent the Moon's Eye Plan from succeeding.

The Plan

Madara's plan is to gather all the tailed beasts in order to fuse them back into their original form, the Ten-Tailed Beast. He will then become jinchūriki to the Ten-Tails giving him immense power and the ability to project his Mangekyo Sharingan on to the moon. He intends to use the moon, the prison of the Ten-Tails body, to cover the world in an "Infinite Tsukuyomi", thereby letting him control every living being, creating a world in which no war or crime occurred.

Part of his plan was to have Zetsu attract the attention of the five Kage at the Kage Summit and lure them to fight against Sasuke Uchiha. In doing so, Madara hoped that the five would be weakened enough for him to take them as hostages to negotiate the capture of the Eight-Tailed Giant Ox and Nine-Tailed Demon Fox. This, however, ended in failure, due to Sasuke exhausting himself almost to the point of death after combating the combined forces of the Fourth Raikage and his bodyguards, the Fifth Kazekage and his bodyguards, Mifune, the Fifth Mizukage and one of her bodyguards, and the Third Tsuchikage. Danzō Shimura, the Candidate Sixth Hokage, escaped.

Let's wait for some updates, i will be updating this blog soon.. Spoilers will be coming soon.. thank you

Sichibukai

All Shichibukai.jpg



The Shichibukai the full title being Ōka Shichibukai (Royal Seven Military Seas), are seven (reduced to four after the Battle of Marineford) powerful and well-known pirate captains who have allied themselves with the World Government.

The Shichibukai is an organization of seven former pirates turned privateers in the service of the World Government. Although they work for the World Government, the Shichibukai do not care about or respect the Government (excluding Bartholomew Kuma, who was transformed into their puppet) or even other Shichibukai, and are often considered by the Marines to be no different from any other pirate. On the other hand, they are known as "government dogs" and are despised by other pirates, but are still feared and respected for their infamous reputation and strength before, and even after they become Shichibukai.

The Shichibukai seem to be a mixture of the more chaotic Yonkou and the more orderly Marines. There is an enormous range in the bounties between the members due to differences in circumstances under which they were recruited, with Donquixote Doflamingo, who has the highest known former bounty of the Shichibukai at 340,000,000, Hancock with a comparatively low bounty of 80,000,000 (however this was her starter bounty, so far the highest known) and Blackbeard, with no former bounty at all.

The majority of the Shichibukai are composed of New World veterans. Those who have met the Yonkou or even confronted them.

The terms that the Shichibukai are on with each other is best described as very unstable. They practically have very little (if any) respect for each other and will for the most part not accept help from one another, apparently from a firm sense of pride. During the battle meeting for the Shichibukai where only two members are absent (Hancock and Jinbe) it is even stated that the very notion of them working together as a team is entirely unthinkable. However Kuma and Doflamingo don’t disregard the notion of teaming up with another Shichibukai: Kuma offered Moriah help defeating the Straw Hats and Doflamingo offered Crocodile a chance to team up. Both offers were refused due to pride.

During Boa Hancock’s visit at Impel Down’s Level Six, Jinbe stated that he didn’t know much about her, possibly suggesting that only some of the Shichibukai are familiar with each other or even have personally met all the other members. Despite this as of chapter 575, all of the Shichibukai (including former) fought at the war between the Whitebeard Pirates and the Marines.

Most of the Shichibukai have a jaded attitude of the world, as their vast amounts of experience have disillusioned them. Crocodile and Moriah both disregard Luffy’s arrogant behavior, saying that he is too inexperienced to know what the world is truly like; Mihawk behaved in a similar fashion in his duel with Zoro. Doflamingo believes that there is no true justice in the world, and that both the Marines and Pirates are foolish if they think that they are upholding it. Hancock, through her horrid experience as a slave, considers all men of the world to be scum, outside of Luffy with whom she is in love, Rayleigh who is her "benefactor," and Fisher Tiger who was responsible for freeing her from slavery.
