The Juubi rages a storm, and Madara Uchiha launches a catastrophic attack, but lucky Naruto's Chakra protected everyone once more. The Juubi seems to be making its first sounds, which is kind of awkward, it's almost like the Juubi was looking over Madara and thinking "Um, I'm supposed to be doing the eradication."
Joking aside, Naruto is definitely exhausted and is back to his regular self, and he's REALLY REALLY into what's happening right now. He's looking like he's pulling all that he can just to stay up, and him keeping a fierce demeanor makes me wonder what he has in mind.

The next panel depicts Naruto seemingly charging up, and there's all 9 of the Tailed Beasts' facade behind him as well. And we see another face in the shadows behind him as well that has the Rinnegan!
Definitely a reference to the SOTSP, and the Juubi is just randomly roaring, and it seems it's charging up for something, seeing as it looks like it has a testosterone boost or something hahaha. The Kyuubi's chakra that saturated and protected everyone is disappearing, and Madara states how he's finally found something else to enjoy, and he'll dispose of them real quick.
We all know who that person he wants to have fun time with, Hashirama. After the Madara "Rape Face" that became a meme, my whole perception of his whole demeanor changing completely bothers me a bit. It's like the Shinobi Alliance as a whole is his rebound boyfriend or something after his "break-up" with Hashirama (kidding, but seriously, watch any YouTube review video on Naruto Manga Chapters, and you'll know the constant jokes on Madara's attitude on Hashirama).
Madara is shocked, and the Shinobi Alliance step forward to help protect Naruto, and Sakura begins to heal him. Finally, after all this time, she's doing something useful for Naruto unconditionally for once. I think Hinata's demeanor and character overall is going to change from shy to someone who's more assertive. Who knows, maybe this could be hinting her being more confident around Naruto?
The scene immediately shifts to Obito and Kakashi entering the Kamui (finally, I almost thought this chapter would just be people staring and doing the whole friendship thing again...).
Kakashi does not waste ANY time seizing whatever chances he has to attack Obito, and he immediately dashes towards him with a Raikiri.

Just when things seem to be in Kakashi's favor, he becomes alert as, and it seems Kakashi just isn't able to make the blow towards Obito. Obito acknowledges how Kakashi had a few chances to kill Obito so far, and Kakashi stands there not saying anything, just letting Obito go on on how Kakashi has a guilty conscience and what have you.
Obito goes on with the mind games and asks if Kakashi feels guilty for not being able to sustain Obito's promise, and wonders if he's trying to convert him. At Obito is well aware of Kakashi's intentions, seeing how he hasn't killed him in when they figured out Obito's trick behind the Kamui Dimension.
Kakashi goes on to state how Naruto's dream is exactly like Obito's words when he dreamed of being Hokage, and that he's unconsciously overlapping his past self and Naruto to see if their ideologies are the same. Kakashi acknowledges that Obito must be able to empathize for Naruto's feelings, and how he can still go back to who he used to be in the past.
Suddenly, Obito's countenance alters, and for a split second there, it's like he's his normal self. He goes on to state how he understands all of Naruto's feelings, and is merely letting him talk so he can deny it all. Then he shifts back to a serious demeanor and enlightens Kakashi that this war was not started ONLY because of him and Rin.
There's a key difference here, and maybe there might be something shocking that we have yet to be aware of. Kakashi immediately pierces him with the Raikiri, but Obito plays mind games with him by using a Transformation Jutsu to imitate the Rin Death Scene.
That's really messed up, even for Obito, I would figure he would at least have the decency to keep even something like this out of his already degrading personality.

[/IMG]Obito is cognizant that Rin chose her own death by letting Kakashi pierce her with his Raikiri, and the reason being is that Rin had been kidnapped by the village of the mist and made her into the Jinchuuriki of the Sanbi.
The Hidden Mist Ninja had the intention to have Rin be carried back to the Village so that the Sanbi would wreak havoc in it, and Rin was well aware of all this. I'm really wondering at this point WHERE Obito got this kind of information. Most likely from Madara or some digging into the Mist Village or something like that.
Anyway, because of this, she stepped forward in front of the pursuers and let herself die by the hands of the one she loved in order to protect the village.
Now, we all know "love" is a powerful word at times here in the Naruto Universe, but I'm wondering if Obito meant that as her loving Kakashi as a best friend. But I'm beginning to think that maybe, just maybe, the whole triangle between them is similar to Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura.
Maybe Rin loved Kakashi like Sakura did for Sasuke, and Obito was like Naruto who tried to show his feelings for Rin, but ended up failing. While Naruto ends up having more to himself being worthy than worrying about Sakura's love (especially when she lied to him that she loved him in manga chapters long ago), Obito seems to be the one who probably has the most emotional impact from this.
Obito goes on to show his intolerance for Kakashi potentially changing him, since he blames that the Shinobi system is at fault for creating this pretentious world, and this made him lose all hope for it.
Kakashi tries to remind Obito how he told Naruto his words, but Obito goes on to state how he has nothing in his heart, therefore he doesn't need to worry about having any friends. He doesn't even feel pain, and he even states how Kakashi doesn't even need to feel guilty because the windhole was opened because of this cruel world.
The chapter ends with Kakashi in view with the pierced hole, and honestly, the pacing of this chapter seemed to be quite decent. I mean, I honestly didn't expect Rin out of all people to be a host for the Sanbi for the Hidden Mist Village. And the mere fact that the Hidden Mist had that much resentment for the Leaf Village must mean something went wrong at the time that it was responsible for.
Overall, I definitely look forward to seeing the next chapter, and I have a feeling it's going to be something mind-shattering, considering that most chapters ending in 10s has some significant impact after the climax in chapters ending in 9s.
