Glad Kakashi is finally back in the picture. I know he won't be much of a game changer, in terms of strength, but I have a feeling that he'll either be able to come up with a strategy that, for some reason, no one else was able to come up with, or have another heart-to-heart conversation with Obito that might distract him long enough for an opening to be made.
Characters that Kishi needs to show more of:
Kakashi :kakashi:
Orochimaru
Naru-Hina moments ( <3 )
I also am still wondering what Madara's "ace in the hole" is. Remember? That thing he said he needed to hurry up and use when Obito first turned into Jubito? Yeah. We need a little bit more background on that. Like, I just don't know if he hasn't used it yet, or if he has tried to use it and it just hasn't worked. Either way, he's still fanboying pretty hard over Hashirama. Dare I say, he's getting wood? <-(Hahahah)
All in all, this chapter gets a 6/10 from me due to the surprise Kakashi appearance and Shikamaru's recovery. Didn't care too much for the build-up talking, seeing as the last chapter primarily consisted of that and then their (Naruto and Sasuke's) attack was just blocked. It does allow for a great outcome for next weeks chapter, but not if it turns out being pointless like last week's.
Shoutouts!
Ohnoki becoming Captain Planet
Kakashi, once again
The regular ninjas finally doing something other than being a part of the landscape

And finally, the great laugh I got when I saw Team Guy without Neji. Loved him, but still found it funny xD
