Re: Naruto Manga 561 Discussion and 562 Predictions
A few things come to mind in this chapter...
1st, Madara's enhanced edo... While indeed it seems plausible that either Zetsu or Yamato could have been a better vessal for Madara...it seems difficult in practice.
Kabuto had shown Tobi the body of Madara before he had access to either Zetsu or Yamato. Furthermore, Yamato is far more valuable alive then dead to them.
It could be a Zetsu, which might explain the Madara looking down his shirt thing, but I'm not really sure Zetsu's are edo compatible. Anyway, the looking down his shirt thing confuses me. At least, we know Oro had been experimenting with Senju DNA before (Yamato is the only living) subject.
2nd, the fake Madara...
Madara died when he got the rinnegan, and I'm thinking it was a slow and painful death while his body rejected the DNA. I think Tobi is part Zetsu, part dead Madara's body. And I still believe black Zetsu is a part of the 10 tailed demon. This means that Tobi actually IS Madara (or at least partly), even though Madara was dead (remember, Zetsu is known for eating the dead).
This explains the Kyuubi too. He has been controlled by Madara at the battle between him and Harashima, then again by Tobi (who as a Zetsu has identical chakra). Even the Kyuubi would not be able to sense this difference.
The whole plan to bring Madara back as the So6p is all for the cause of restoring the 10 tails, but I think Tobi doesn't need Madara for it anymore. I think he'll want to get rid of Madara asap.
3rd, Tsunade joining the fight. Well she'll do what she does best: Stall them.
At least long enough for Itachi to force Kabuto to stop the edo. They're not beating edo Madara, he's an undead so6p, and his power is through the roof!
I don't think Tsunade is going to kick the bucket quite yet. Naruto, as strong as he is, still isn't Hokage material. Maybe he'll realise this for himself at some point, but Naruto is not the type to sit through boring political issues and file work. He wants to be in the middle of the action, and the Hokage only joins the fray when things are getting desperate. Until then, they stay at the back row, coördinating and making tough calls. This is not the way of Naruto.
The main villain will imo be the 10 tails, and Naruto will have to work along with Sasuke (who needs a change of heart) to defeat it (Perfect body, Perfect eyes).
