My overall questions for this chapter.

[Dribbles]

Well i'm just going to ask a few things, I was sick of making multiple threads for each question so I just decided to throw them all in one thread, lol.

1. How in the hell did Orochimaru and Taka make it to Konoha so quickly?

Think about it; compared to the weeks it took Naruto to get to the Turtle Island by boat ( Which is close to the Land of Lightning, but still closer to Konoha then where Sasuke and the others left from. ) and the mere hours it took Orochimaru and Taka to travel on foot to Konoha.

The distance they had to travel was even longer then Naruto's. The only way I see them possibly getting there in a day at minimum is flying on Sasuke's hawk. This is either a massive timeline screw up from Kishi or something hasn't been explained yet.

2. Is Tobirama going to be able to lift the seal?

As we know, Tobirama is the creator of the jutsu. Even though he is not in control of his own actions and can not cast the seal, he could have easily devised ways to escape the jutsu if he were to ever fall under it himself. Although I don't feel Tobirama could contribute much by being in control of his own actions, as he's only there to spout information to Sasuke.

3. Has the Kyuubi's chakra returned to Naruto?

From what I'm seeing, one of two things could have happened when the seal was released:

A: The only things that were released from the seal were only the things of Orochimaru's choosing. He doesn't know about the Kyuubi's chakra being sealed inside the Death God so he wouldn't summon it. We know he doesn't know about it because he has no idea about the events that took place during Minato's death; otherwise he wouldn't have tried to summon him during the fight with the Third Hokage.

B: Everything that was sealed within the Death God was returned to their respective owners. This means that Naruto would have received his chakra the same way Orochimaru got his arms. They sort of just appeared there for Orochimaru to use the Edo Tensei jutsu.

4. What does Orochimaru plan to do with the Hokage's afterwards?

Surely he's not going to just throw them back into the underworld and forget about them; he defiantly plans to use them for something. Maybe he plans to turn on Sasuke and take his body with the power of four of the greatest kage's in history? Maybe he will rush off with Sasuke to the battlefield to confront Madara, Obito and the Ten-Tails.

The Ten-Tails still hasn't reached it's final transformation, which means that the alliance are in for another beatdown until they get another powerup or backup. This will either be Naruto's full Kyuubi form as the powerup, or Orochimaru and Taka as the backup.

5. And my final question; which side will Taka and Orochimaru take in the war afterwards, or will they stay neutral?

It's obvious that whatever the Hokage's say now is going to effect Sasuke's decision. I really don't see him running back to Obito, especially since I highly doubt he will support the dream world plan.

I could see him siding with Naruto and the alliance, it all depends on what the Hokage's say to him, as well as the decision of being neutral.

What are your answers?

1.im pretty sure they went there as fast as possible but im sure thats something shouldnt matter
2.if he can control his body then sure im sure he can but i doubt oro will give him control of his own body
3.im pretty sure it has but it should still be in minato
4.i think he will use them to destroy konoha
5.neutral

Piece of cake

1) You don't know if they were that far from Konoha in the first place. That coward Kabuto wasn't too close to the battlefield. Remember how comrade Itachi traveled for ages to get there?

2) Most probably not because neither Orochimaru nor Sasuke are morons.

3) No because it was sealed inside his father who has now unlimited chakra so we don't know where that chakra is right now.

4) Orochimaru can't do much as Sasuke knows how to unleash the Edo Tensei.

5) Sasuke is unpredictable so there is no answer to that. It will depend on what is gonna be said during the chitchat.

1. Dude, Orochimaru was revived in the cave Sasuke and Itachi fought Kabutomaru. This cave is located inside the Mountain's Graveyard (Kabuto and Tobi's hideout). This hideout is located between the Sound and Waterfall villages which are all bordered by Konoha. It's not far AT ALL. Look at the map.

If oro takes sasukes body then he would have the power of 2 senju including the best healer of all time, hiruzen who knows all jutsus, minato who knows sealing and space time techs, and he would have uchiha powers from sasuke. No way anybody would be able to beat him

The chakra was not sealed within Minato, he took it into himself but it was sealed within the Death God. If it was sealed within him he would have made himself a jinchuuriki. Also what does Sasuke and Ororchimaru being morons or not have to do with Tobirama knowing how to counter Edo Tensei..? Half assed answer tbh. ...? How the hell is Sasuke going to get Orochimaru to stand still to stop the Edo Tensei. Orochimaru isn't stupid enough to fall for Sharingan genjutsu.I'm limited to how much I can reply now though, I'll answers everyone's posts in the morning.

All good questions, and since Kishi is always full of surprises, I am not going to speculate about the future. As for the distance, Sasuke wasn't very far from Konoha in the first place, and therefore it didn't take him very long to get there. Plus, Orochimaru probably knows some shortcuts in and out of the village.

 

[BREAKD]

1. Sasuke has a hawk, you're argument is invalid
2. Tobirama invented the jutsu, but not perfected it. thus i doubt he can counter it somehow
3. i Think the chakra of the nine tails remains in the reaper. Dont have facts to support this, but i just do
4. I gues that depends on what the kage's tell Sasuke, and what Sasuke says to Oro
5. See point 4

1. Of course it's an overlooked detail, but even with the map the guy provided above, I still find it impossible that they got there in a matter of hours. Like seriously, compare the WEEKS to HOURS. I still find it heavily impossible how they managed to get there so quickly.

2. Even though Kabuto and Orochimaru perfected the jutsu, it still doesn't change the way it works. Tobirama never used it because it was an abomination of a jutsu; he still had to sacrifice people to use it. Although i DO doubt it's going to happen, he could have devised a way to escape the jutsu himself.

3. I really don't think Kishi would seal the chakra inside the reaper if we weren't going to see it again as a powerup. It would just be rather pointless to throw something so important away without bringing it back into the story somehow, you'd have to see my point here.

4. Can't be sure.

5. Still can't be sure.

1. See my answer above ^

2. What does Sasuke and Orochimaru being morons have to do with Tobirama's ability to escape the jutsu..?

3. It was never sealed inside Minato; he used the jutsu to pull it into himself, but it was sealed inside the Death God the same way Hiruzen pulled Orochimaru's arms into himself but the chakra was sealed inside the Death God seal.

4. How is Sasuke going to stop Orochimaru for long enough to stop the Edo Tensei? Will he sacrifice one of his hard-earned eyes to use Izanami? Orochimaru ain't gonna fall for Sharingan genjutsu again.

5. Yep I agree.

Although I agree with what you're saying, still compare the weeks it to Naruto and the mere hours it took Taka and Orochimaru. The ratio of the distance just doesn't make sense.

If oro takes sasukes body then he would have the power of 2 senju including the best healer of all time, hiruzen who knows all jutsus, minato who knows sealing and space time techs, and he would have uchiha powers from sasuke. No way anybody would be able to beat him

You're right, i'm really starting to see Orochimaru as the final villain of the manga.

All good questions, and since Kishi is always full of surprises, I am not going to speculate about the future. As for the distance, Sasuke wasn't very far from Konoha in the first place, and therefore it didn't take him very long to get there.

5. See point 4

1. Sasuke screwed over the world's timeline, yes my argument is invalid.

2. See my first answer to this above ^

3. We're still going to have to wait for the next chapter to figure this part out.

4. Yep.

5. I agree.
