Well, THAT was unexpected.
Three kage (not sure what to think about Tsunade though she seems to be giving the second most intense effort of the five) that are whining and criticizing each other - and the criticizing one gets caught in a "simple genjutsu." Pathetic. They do a sloppy seal job and then Madara saves the best for last while proclaiming that his opponents are "worthy" of the kage title. What arrogance. I can't wait for this guy (ok, zombie) to go back to Oblivion (Sorry for the Elder Scrolls reference).
So much for Sasuke joining the cause. He's still mentally stuck at age 7 or so when his family was butchered under orders from the Konoha crones and proclaiming vengeance for the pain caused to his brother. Itachi showed the real class by finally, FINALLY letting go of everything and realizing that there was nothing more he could do other than make the war settle down to a dull roar by trying to end the edo tensei. But, sheesh! How long does it take to get hand signs from a captive? Last I checked there were only four of them. It's not rocket science. At least he ended the mystery and announced to Sasuke that Naruto would be the one he (Sasuke) would be dealing with next...
Now, we get this "perfect form" of evil called Susanoo. Get a good look at her. She's ugly. She's bad ass. But...she won't be around for long - probably only another chapter, if that. Then....POOF! We're back to mangled landscapes, tree bark and roots everywhere, dead bodies NOT under edo tensei and lots of bumps, bruises and scrapes.
I wonder what they'll do with Kabuto? Snakeskin boots? Maybe make HIM the next experiment? And, SOMEone please rescue Yamato. That guy's been an experiment long enough! He's given more than his all to the war already. There's only so long anyone can handle the inverted position.
And, then there's Tobi and that ugly statue. This edo tensei was the LONGEST most drug out part of the whole damn war. Man, I'm glad it's almost over with. Enough and let's move on, I say. That ugly statue is not looking so ugly right now...
