you guys are making me sick.
you are so far off that it makes me feel physically ill just reading your posts.
im gonna clarify a few things that you clearly arent getting.
1. Spiral Zetsu and Black Zetsu are not the same individual. they are clearly two different distinct entities...
bottom panel is black zetsu possessing obito.

lower right panel is spiral zetsu. obito is not in there.

clearly zetsu/obito and minato\kakashi have not ended their stalemate.
its obvious that spiral zetsu has joined in the fray to support madara, his true master, now that he has been revived.
im not surprised to see him using wood element, but i am surprised to see his level of mastery.
that statue is some of the epic level wood jutsu.
2. Naruto is not the main character because of his heritage or even because of the fox. dont be ridiculous...
Naruto is the main character because he never gives up.

I could go on and on, but if you dont already get it, you probably never will.
It has nothing to do with power, or jutsus, or chakra, or demons, or heritage or anything like that.
Its about love. Its about caring more for someone else than you do for yourself.

if you dont understand this, if you think "Naruto" is about something like power or victory, than i pity you.
because you live your life bereft of understanding and comprehension. you are in the shadows.
this is why naruto is the name of the series, this is why naruto is the main character, and this is what kishimoto is trying to tell you...
3. sasuke is a victim of the world. he has been tainted by it, and it surrounds him. like an evil aura he must disperse...
he is like anakin skywalker, he means well, but he has been tricked and deceived into seeing lies as truths.
this is not the real sasuke...this is just what the world has done to him...just like madara, and obito, and nagato.
all good men, just all went down the wrong path, all made the wrong choices, and all will regret it before the end.

the sad part is, the core of sasuke is a good man. he will redeem himself before the end. i believe it.
do you remember this? this is proof that deep down, sasuke is just like naruto, he is willing to die for a friend.

4. hiruzen sarutobi was hailed as the god of shinobi and that he knows and is able to use all jutsu in the entire village...

(heres orochimaru hailing him as the professor)
that means he would have to have every element available as well.
im not surprised to see him use all 5 elements so easily.
You must be registered for see links
(here he uses fire)
You must be registered for see links
(here he uses earth)
they dont show it, but tenzo/yamato can use water, so hiruzen must know that
they dont show it, but asuma, his son, uses wind, so hiruzen must know that
they dont show it, but kakashi uses lightning, so hiruzen must know that
lets not get this confused with the ability to use two elements in one or even three in one.
that is a bloodline limit, and they dont discuss him having one. although he very well may, and we just havent seen it.
though he does have one of the most amazing summons we've ever seen.

(monkey king enma probably wins my fav summon)
remember his lack of power stemmed from being a VERY old man whos chakra reserves were not what they once were.
now currently as an edo tensei his body is no longer holding him back, and his chakra reserves are no longer an issue.
he has infinite chakra to pull from and his frail skin and bones and muscles are no longer an issue.
this makes him a very dangerous opponent. massive experience and a large skill reserve.

. Hinata tripped...yes thats lame, but its not because shes a clown ninja...its because she is 100% exhausted beyond belief. she probably overexerted herself by using the byakugan to look at naruto, id assume she was already out of energy. its to show the futility in everyones actions at this point. all hope is to appear to have been lost.
hinata's fall, is a physical manifestation of that. i like her, so its hard to see her that way, but i get what kishi is saying.
6. Stop saying that Karin is going to heal Sasuke...she can't, Madara would kill her in an instant.
why do you think she is cowering behind a rock? whats she going to do? "um excuse me mr madara but im just gonna go ahead and heal sasuke so that he can attack you again. thats cool right? great..." yeah right. the metaphor is like his helpless body lying next to the devil. whats she gonna do? run over to him? no. shes gonna cower there crying and crap her pants.
7. orochimaru is a bad bad man. i dont like how he is hiding and not helping the alliance. thats not very boss.
however, i do like how calm he is. still calm and calculating. its good to see. i hope he does something really cool, again.
remember there are only 4 edo on the battlefield right now, and orochimaru is the one who summoned them.

also its important to note that orochimaru is currently in the body of a zetsu. this may come into play.
8. naruto is definitely in trouble. with kuramas extraction im not sure what they can do to save him.
some have mentioned a life trade jutsu...i dont think it will go that way.
some have mentioned minato giving naruto the other half of the kyuubi...i find this to be a somewhat suitable option.
theyve foreshadowed it earlier, so i would be ok with that. it makes the most sense.
9. im waiting for kabuto to show up. im waiting for yamato to show up. im waiting for anko to show up.
all 3 characters were left in a state of stasis and may or may not come back at all...
10. and i almost forgot...what the hell did tobirama blink to, in this frame?

did he have a seal on madara? or are they just trying to say he moved quickly?
honestly sometimes i get confused between them teleporting between placed seals, and simply moving quickly to a destination....i think the line there should be a little more defined...
11. does anyone find it disturbing that THIS thing exists...? :devil:

if shinigami is a REAL naruto element...then what the hell else are we not aware of?
like are there some REAL angels and stuff too?
anyways, thanks for reading.
feel free to complain about my post being too awesome.
