Obito takes Naruto's hand? Since when did Naruto offer his hand to Obito to come over to his side? That hand you saw in the panel was Obito. He raised it because that was the hand Rin grabbed him by. He was remembering back...What if Obito take Naruto's hand, Who will be the bad guy?
I knew the TnJ was coming and that Obito will submit to Naruto. When I said Naruto didn't offer his hand...I apparently stopped reading at page 18 when the bottom said No. 653 / End. I didn't know there was more afterwards...Naruto is offering his hand. The black cuff in the last 2 panels are from Naruto's jacket. Naruto told him he will have to compensate for what he has done. This TNJ has been foreshadowed for a long time. I don't see what all of the fuss is about. Did you really think he would kill Obito if given the chance to TNJ him instead? Nagato killed many people too and Naruto chose not to kill him. Nagato killed Juraiya whom Naruto loved like a parent and mentor. Naruto had no idea at the time that he could bring back the people he killed back before he decided not to kill him.
I enjoyed learning more about Obito and Rin. If this TNJ is successful Obito will probably die either by sacrificing himself to help the alliance or from Madara who will be upset that Obito is screwing with his plan. There is definetely still Madara as the villain and possibly even Oro if he finds the opportunity to get the tailed beasts away from Madara once the tree is destroyed. Can you see Orochimaru passing up an opportunity to experiment on tailed beasts?
I thought this TNJ taught us quite a bit about Obito and has also shown us how much Naruto has grown. He's not that angry little boy who used to yell all the time and who would do anything to get noticed. He is becoming a man who wants to try to make peace by finding common ground with his enemies instead of killing them. There are many adults in the face of so much death during a war would not be able to do that and would want revenge for their friends and loved ones.
4/5..simply great chapter...:bouncy:
Pros-
1. After this chapter, I am in love with 'Rin', now I understand why Obito had those feelings for her, her ' I am watching you', seriously is one of the best manga quotes from entire Naruto.
2. Obito and Naruto's talk was really good from the beginning..Naruto TNJ>everything, proved. XD
3. I loved the way Kishi worked on those dialogues, especially the way Kishi worked on the basic concept behind 'hokage' (from Itachi's statement about acknowledgement till today's Naruto and Obito's talk about it), is really fascinating...
Cons-
1. I know many people will criticize this chapter for being a TNJ chapter, and which was actually unavoidable, but I wanted to see some 'action panels' from SA, or some Kakashi reaction atleast..:yeah:
This chapter is an indication that Kishi will make Obito turn good. Actually, I want Obito to reject that Naruto 'offer', but don't know whether Kishi will listen to me...:vincent:
