Chapter was BOMB!
Liberation of the tailed beasts.
Sealing of the original mother, and her re-birth into a rabbit? (where did that bijuu rabbit thing go?)
Confirmation of the presence of an afterlife, confirming Itachi's critique of Kabuto and edo tensei. (This also opens up the possibility for dimension travel and Naruto becoming something on the scale of Goku.)
Everything is super unresolved, nuances of the past are not forthcoming and Sage is either uninterested or unwilling at this point to spill the beans about his father, brother and mother. Smells like guilt to me.
It only took Naruto, Sasuke and Sakura four years but team 7 used REAL teamwork and its results were badass!
Everyone is focused on Kaguya as a FV, did nobody notice Black Zetsu? Kaguya is a force, a demi-god or god who desires only to consume and control the worst quality in a parent.
Black Zetsu perpetuated a cycle of violence that has killed probably hundreds of thousands if not millions over the past generations, all for getting his Mom back, like an immortal Norman Bates/Hitler! (sounds like a pretty intense and total bad ass final villain.)
Kaguya is power and Zetsu cunning together they were a sort of a FV pair or relationship that created endless war and suffering.
FV as an idea may not be centrally important in a Buddhist heavy story, at least in a way we normally see these scenarios play out in other manga like DBZ or OP.
What may be more important are ending ideas of attachment (the true suffering of Kaguya and Zetsu that lead to so much more suffering) and with that in mind we have to wait and see what Hagoromo does.
Hag's admitted that he was part of the problem, wanting to return and to create conditions for his own ideas to manifest.
This might make him more of a Bodhisattva type, someone who refuses purification in order to help the world achieve enlightenment.
Or it could flip him into a villain somehow.
I think the only reason we should have a Kaguya back story is if she is manipulated into being a total ding dong.
Or that her evil is at its root is caused by loss, hatred or suffering.
It appears though that like Kakuzu and Hidan, Kaguya and Zetsu were pitiable. They were people only interested in impure and temporary gains and were out of control of themselves, really super sad.
I suppose I am wondering this: What will happen to the ninja world now that everyone has shown each other their guts?!?
How will the experience of the ninja differ from the feudal lords and will the political and economic powers (ninja being military and third pillar of power) of the world hinder peace?
Can this shared experience of defeating the mysterious other to save humanity be enough to bring humanity together?
Does this remind anyone of Gantz?
