Now that 660 has finally come out in Japan (and America for those who read Viz), 661 could come out any day this week or the next. But I think I still have time to present a new theory to think about.

Remember how Kisame explained that the Gedo Mazo is so fragile, the Akatsuki leaders decided that the Ninetails would be sealed last?

There is a possibility that this could be a chekov's gun -- the fact that the statue has this particular weakness -- or just a convenient device for explaining why Naruto was left alone until last. Deidara did go after him, but only opportunistically.

Here are the important points of my theory:

  • If Kurama was indeed extracted, he can independently try to force-feed himself to the Gedo Mazo out of order to it absorbing all of the other beasts first. Forget that Madara has no weaknesses. Target the components he needs for his plan to happen.
  • Gyuki chopped off a piece of his own tentacle. Maybe Gyuki has the same idea. Since he hasn't been extracted, performing the same maneuver alongside Kurama would drag Killer Bee to his doom. So he's going to settle for a piece of himself instead.
  • Kurama's message to Gaara could possibly be to try to make absolutely sure that Shukaku does not get absorbed first. This makes sense, since Shukaku is a tailed beast that is early in line to get absorbed, and the only tailed beast in a position to delay Madara's progress.

Not a bad theory, i do understand where your coming from, but i think you should have linked the manga images in so trolls do not try and screw with you bro

Lol "come out any day this week"? I'm pretty sure it'll come out late Tuesday night, or on Wednesday like every other chapter ever

I will try to edit a couple in before I go to sleep. But I'm not worried about trolls, trolls do not like to mess with me. They're welcome to counter with their own images.

Well I guess that means that my theory has two days at the very shortest to be pondered.

Please, also try to consider how Killer B survived against Taka.

:) the Hachibi cut off a tentacle that turned out to be B.

But now would Kurama know of that weakness?

I don't really have an answer to that. The only one I can give is that Kurama already has a whole lot of knowledge about the Gedo Mazo so I'm going to have to just bank on that.

Actually, there is a high chance of Kurama having intel about that, since part of him is already inside the Mazou... yes, that's the share of Ginkaku/Kinkaku brothers.

Your theory may be correct if what Kisame said still remains true. However, the Juubi has already been revived recently and this might have been enough to break a trail for Madara. Look at it this way:

The shell (Gedo Mazo) was a container for the Juubi that had not been used previously, since the Juubi had never been revived ever since the So6P placed the shell of the Juubi's body on the moon. Obito was choosing to tread on land that had never been broken before; his journey was unprecedented. Because of this, he needed a certain formation to break this trail, and this meant sealing away the Bijuus in order. Obito went through this arduous and lengthy process because, like I said, this was a path that had not been traversed before. However, Madara has the shell now and the path has already been broken through by Obito. He might not need to use the correct formation because Obito has already laid the groundwork for him. If this is true, then what Kisame said would not be applicable anymore, and Madara could seal the Hachibi and Kyuubi first without consequence.

By the way, I actually liked your old signature. It was pretty weird but iconic of one of the few posters on this forum with some actual sense in their head >.>
