Final Sage Madara with 3 Rinnegan was unstoppable, Naruto & Sasuke would stand no chance. Thats why Kishi removed him. And replaced him with a weak asspull godess.
The Hokages and SO6P will revive Madara. Hashirama will give away his Hokage title to Madara, as a show of respect and to make him apart the team. Madara will accept this and help the team defeat Kaguya. He will see that his plan had failed and that mankind is better without the likes of Kaguya...
This is how it works, lets say Madara & Hashirama became best friends :)
Madara awakens Rinnegan with the help of his pal Hashirama. He then gives Hashirama both his Rinnegan (like he did with Nagato). And then kills himself. Hashirama revives him as Edo and uses outer path samsara of heavenly...
This guy forced the forth Hokage to kill himself and his wife.... He unleashed the 9 tails in Konoha and killed thousands... He brutaly killed Konan.... And he tried to kill everyone at some point....
And now... He's suddenly a ****ing hero!!???? Dude, your the reason there is a war to begin...
Yes, Kaguya is using it to create dimentions, HOW LAME! This is the ability to create anything, there is no limit. And yet she is wasting this fantastic power. Imagine someone like Itachi with Creation of all things? He would rule the world.
At the beginning if the year i said the manga would en in the fall, and that chapter 700 would be the last one, i think i was right. It looks like things are wrapping up.
Why did Kishi substitute a stronger villain for a weaker villain? It's clear that Sage Madara would have owned team 7. While Kaguya is getting her ass kicked?
Why Kishi, why?
By this i mean NO BORROWED powers, NO GIVEN powers, NO EYE TRANSPLANT, NO cheating with EDO, NO ASSISTANCE or help of any kind, NO EXPERIMENTS, NO jinchuuriki etc, you get the idea.
I think the answer is 8th gate Might Guy or Hashirama.
Orochimaru could easily have Edo Tensei Itachi & Nagato if Sasuke wanted to, this would have helped them help fight Madara & Obito. If i had to choose a team to fight Madara & Obito i would choose Itachi & Nagato over Tobirama & Hiruzen ANYDAY.
Only reason is plot.
And dont say you cant Edo...
Not the amount of kills, but the amount of important kills. This is only counting their time as "villains" not after they somehow turned and became good again.
Madara killed Shikaku (via 10 tails) and the rest are only fodders. (although he technically could have killed all the Kage with...
