I know this is pretty off topic or whatever, but everyone talking about Naruto showing up during kakashi's rampage reminded me.... Who in here has ever watched Dragon Ball (the original, not DBZ or GT)? There are tons of threads out there that say that ninja murasaki could take on Kakashi! Some people even say he can take on Naruto. If you guys know what i'm talking about, then we need to bring some justice to these threads!
Anyways, off-topic rant over. I personally think that the person in the coffin is either Izuna, Sage of Six paths, or someone we have never seen before. I can't think of anyone, living or dead, that would be able to spook madara like that besides the greatest and ultimate ninja of all time (could rewrite reality and spam izanagi like it was nothing while on his deathbed for pete's sake) or his brother who knows him more than anyone else. Even back in the day, Izuna may have been more powerful than Madara, plus if Madara was lying about the whole "he gave me his eyes cuz he loves me" deal, then i'm sure Izuna is gonna be pretty PO'd to see Madara there.
Is it just me, or is Naruto spamming QB mode just a liiiiiittle bit? I'm afraid that, right before he fights Sasuke, it's gonna flicker out, and he's gonna have to rely on Sage mode for a bit. THen, when all hope is lost, it comes back and he has the upper hand. and just before Naruto wins, Itachi shows up, Talk no Jutsu's Sasuke (that's the only person Sasuke actually cares about now, and I think it'll be a little weird seeing his brother again), and then they team up against Madara. Naruke tag-team on Madara, where Naruto combines Sage Mode and Kyubi Mode to enter Super Saiyan 4 and then Plot no Jutsu kills Madara once and for all. The final chapter is probably gonna end with Naruto donning the Hokage Hat, while everyone is cheering. Happy ending. I know it's a stupid prediction, but all we can do now is imagine, right?
Madara is practically a god now. Here is a list of his powers:
Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan
{assumed} Tsukuyomi
{assumed} Amaterasu
{assumed} Susano'o
{assumed} Kamui (he can already use other space/time jutsu, this one should be at least plausible)
Can warp reality (Izanagi, at the cost of his eye which is VERY unlikely)
Plus any other trollifying jutsu that comes with having hax eyes
Rinnegan
Can suck out your soul by touching you
Can absorb all forms of energy
Can summon various animals to aid in combat (including Gedo Statue)
Can control and create gravity
Transcends life and death
Can spawn weird mechanical body parts
Can use any and all elemental jutsu
Other
Teleport
Intangibility
Absorbing
Six paths of Pain (all of which have the abilities stated under EMS and Rinnegan)
Immortality
His Paths are also indestructible unless sealed
He can mysteriously regrow body parts
ANd i'm sure I missed something. I'm sure even Goku doesn't stand a chance. I am eagerly awaiting the final battles, but I don't want Kishi to rush too much and mess up the rest of the series. He's already rushing it now. I still gave this chapter a 5/5 mostly cuz of the way his new rasengan created that 3d spiral whirlpool thru Muu and how epic he looked when he landed in front of Temari just to interupt her. Stupid anime fillers are keeping us from watching this in real-time. Instead of fillers, can't they just drag out these fights a little longer? Gaara vs Daddy doesn't have to be one episode, u know. It could be 5 or six, instead of this lame One Piece - Ninja crossover junk.
