Am I the only one who was hoping that absent his chakra eating, bootleg transplanted eye, Kakashi would have shown us why his father was more famous than the Sannin?

I'm glad Kakashi isn't useless anymore (he's my favorite character), but now he's basically Sasuke with a better attitude...

No.

The reason Kakashi is famous isn't because he has the sharingan - It's because he's a jack of all trades and makes use of every single skill at his disposal. And the way he incorporated the sharingan into his style of fighting perfectly embodies this; He uses it to amass a wide range of techniques which he then incorporates into his fighting style strategically, or tactically for special situations.

How do you deal with a ninja that is a better strategist than most strategists, better at taijutsu than most taijutsu specialists, better at genjutsu than most genjutsu users, better at ninjutsu than most ninjutsu specialists, and has more tools and experience at his disposal than probably any other ninja? You need to catch him off guard or be overwhelmingly skilled in some specialty to have a shot at winning.

years ago I predicted that naruto and sasuke would fushion-ha to defeat the final boss.

combine the eyes and body of the six paths ying and yang
 
Lol. Guess I have to catch up. Stopped around everyone getting 9tails boost.

anyone know if Hinata is confirmed for the movie?

if you are asking about Hinata you must be a fan, but our girl died a few chapters ago man you need to at least read her chapter

right now she is in paradise :p

I wanted that as well, to see him at his potential without the eyes but lets be real, I'm not disappointed because we are at the end. When would we see that? He's not going to suddenly become good for this fight. Even his dad would be useless in this fight. And there's probably no story arc after this so if the last we saw of kakashi was him sitting at the sidelines, THAT would have SUCKED for such an awesome character.

This whole Obito thing is even better when you realize Obito literally willed himself back to life as a ghost to ensure Kakashi wouldn't die and screw up his chances with Rin in the afterlife.

The things that dude does to get laid.

travelling to different dimensions is something Obito has done for kicks all series long :p. But yeah he had to ensure that the D went without interference.

I still don't see why he is still so paranoid about Rin and Kakashi, Rin seems to only have eyes for this fool but yeah that was some amazing reason for doing it even told him to become Hokage so he'll be too busy to RINblock

Obito did say something along the lines of "these won't last forever", but I can imagine Kakashi needing to just cover both eyes with his headband to cover the sharingan :p
 
Holy shit I marked out for Kakashi getting both sharingan. Badass. Why is any of that bullshit? That was awesome. I knew he'd have a moment sooner or later.

I do get the feel that Obito implied that it may be temporary? Not sure.

If it's not an Eternal Mangekyo, he will go blind if Kakashi uses it too much, but then again, I don't know if it's possible if Kakashi's eyes will evolve into an eternal since he lost his close friend for the second time.

Lol. So how will Obito see Rin in the afterlife with no eyes? Did he take Kakashi's instead?

The best part of this chapter is people wondering if Obito doesn't have his eyes now that he gave them to Kakashi and can't come back to Rin.

He's a ghost, god dammit.

Going blind? Naruto will fix you right up with his healing hax!
 
The reactions in this thread and everywhere else I look have been amazing, thanks for that guys.

The only explanation I can come up with for Kakashi is that, as Tobirama said, the Sharingan is awakened by special chakra possessed only by the Uchiha, and Obito, being the spirit he is, gave Kakashi some of his own actual chakra rather than an implant that wouldn't be accustomed to Kakashi's body as naturally as it would to that of an Uchiha.

This isn't the first time a spirit has done some crazy shit. Dan, Tsunade's former lover, had a jutsu to freely move his soul and was able to give her chakra. Madara similarly manipulated his soul to use a counter against the Edo Tensei cancel. Tobirama was said to have a similar ability to move his soul during this war arc but we didn't get to see it.

Obito also said his chakra wouldn't last, meaning this is a perhaps only a temporary powerup. It came out of left fucking field, and I would have even called BS at least a little if live Obito and Kakashi used it together, but fuck it, it's end of the line, I can deal with a temp boost since Kakashi wasn't doing shit. Fuck that if it's not temp.

And also fuck that if Kakashi becomes Hokage. He had his chance. Obito can endorse whoever the fuck he wants but he hasn't got shit all authority.

Alright, fuck it. I'm actually hoping Sakura gets Slug Sage Mode (maybe it's the same as Hashirama's) next chapter. idgaf, a power up for all.

Here's some sketches for Sakura, Shikamaru and Sai in the upcoming Naruto movie.

Tumblr being tumblr has been running wild with Sakura's design, which is actually pretty good imo.

I'm starting to think Sasuke's dead, or Kishi's just trying to hype up people's expectations.

I welcome this hotter Sakura.

Wait a minute.

If Obito could go from the afterlife to Kakashi... Does this mean Obito could've at any point go to Rin?!?

So all this could've been prevented if Obito just teleported to rin o________o

Why isn't Kishimoto moving on from this cringe inducing Obito-Rin bullshit?!!!!
It's so absurd, move the fuck on already!

And how does Kakashi have enough chakra to pull off BOTH MS and Perfect Susanoo?!

Why is Kaguya so useless?!

Why isn't Sakura receiving any power-ups?!

This is upsetting yo!
 
Damn Sakura most def lookin better in those sketches. Can't wait for this movie.

And here I was thinking this manga couldn't get any worse/convoluted following the Kaguya bullshit.

My god, Kishi.
how did it get more convoluted? Some people are really overthinking what they saw. All that happened was Obito was in the afterlife at deaths door, but he used his last ounce of life to transfer his sharingan to Kakashi either by way of chakra transfer or whatever, and then he finally let go and died. Nothing THAT crazy has happened here given the context of what's happening now and thing that have happened before.

Well it's one of the main character defining things for Obito. Kakashi could easily have been saving chakra and we still don't know whether or not Obito transferred his chakra to kakashi.

Kaguya useless? She has done more than any other villain in the shortest amount of time. She took Naruto's 2403289402 rasenshurikens in stride.

Who is going to give sakura a powerup lol. Networking is everything!

Come on, Naruto gets instant power boosts moments/minutes/hours after meeting bee, hagaromo, and each tailed beast.

Naruto: "Dawww his name is Kurama"
Tailed beasts: "TAKE OUR POWER, HUMAN!"

People are forgetting that transferring a Sharingan-based technique isn't new, Itachi transferred Amaterasu to Sasuke a long-ass time ago.

brah if you knew naruto IRL, a 3 min convo with him will make you into whatever he wants. TnJ is something he has perfected his whole life. It's his kekkei genkai.

Colour predictions for Kakashi's Susanno?

I'm going with silver/grey to match his hair.
Either this or black. I always imagined Obito's Susanoo being black (or orange, which I hope Kakashi's isn't) and since it's technically Obito's eyes he's using...

Or maybe they aren't his eyes? Maybe Obito magic ghost jutsu'd actual non-borrowed Sharingan into Kakashi? I don't know anymore!

Sasuke is gonna die I tell you. Redemption in this series seems to be you already dead

also did not save his girlfriend
"Golden boy" Sasuke has been one upped by just about everyone else in this arc. Madara almost killed him, and Naruto has clearly dwarfed him post-power up. He basically got whatever he wanted and won every fight he ever fought up until Sage Kabuto, but things have been all downhill from there. He's finally being humbled, and his latest reaction to Kakashi's Susanoo confirms that he's not used to this kind of thing at all. I think he's going to live and do some serious introspection.
 
I...just..but..

WHAT.

Kishi, please just end the series soon. These constant DBZ level asspulls are fucking ridiculous and it has soured the series to a point I didn't think would be possible.
For the love everything just. end. it.

This helps to prove that Kishi has a serious hard-on for the Uchiha clan in that you can get out of anything as long as you got dem eyes.
Kishi basically set up death as another dimension you can only access unless you either die or have access to that dimension teleport jutsu.

Transferring techniques yeah, transferring eyes through unknown means eh.

Well at least Kakashi won't be a running joke anymore, hopefully.

The easiest way to experience an end to Naruto is to stop reading it.

I'm plenty happy with it going on forever and getting increasingly wacky along the way. He's not hurting anybody, he should go nuts.

Well, technically one could argue it's the same type of transfer, as the Mangekyou that was shown when Sasuke used the technique was Itachi's, not his.

I suppose so but I was going off of the presumption that Sasuke at least had sharingan eyes while Kakashi did not. But I'm just dwelling on the matter a bit much.

His bottleneck was always chakra. If Kishi gave a shit anymore it would be ridiculous to think that adding another chakra drain and putting more emphasis on techniques that winds him would be an improvement.

Unfortunately I've invested too much time in this manga to stop reading it now. I'm staying with this til the bitter (eventual)end.

You have a point there, maybe Kishi will forget lol.
 
Yeah I don't really care about all of the technicalities of what goes on. As long as the manga isn't straight up boring me, then i'm fine. I'm not exactly excited by the plot, but it's more the character interactions that are keeping me entertained atm. I don't really care what wacky stuff he does with it. People who hate the manga that much have a choice, just stop reading it. If you hate it that much and keep reading it then that's your problem. I completely understand the complaints from people who do take the plot more seriously than I do and who need a coherent story to be entertained.... But I don't understand those who hate it and keep reading while desperately hoping it will end.

It became a habit. I used to read it as a shounen manga full of adventure and interesting characters, now I am read it as entertaining trash, because that is what Kishi made out of the manga.

You're describing the #1 jobber in the Narutoverse, you know that right?

HAHAHA! The share amazing meltdown over this Chapter. I love it :D
What an amazing chapter.

I think what is getting more and more clear about this is that the dreaded 'curse' of the Uchiha/Sharingan and needing to kill or hurt people to obtain greater power is lies, written on the stone by Zetsu.
Instead of hateful actions, loving and thoughtful ones are the key to it's real power. This is clear to me now with Shisui, Itachi and ultimately the combination of Obito realizing how wrong he has been and passing on his ultimate 'will' to Kakashi. Kakashi is able to weild this ultimate Sharingan because of how devoted he is to his Friends/Village and how much he loves them.

Obito is/was insanely powerful and made only more powerful and aware of the 'narutoverse' once he joined with the 10 tails. I can see that people will hate this, but this is a manga where the dead come back often, it's been shown that remnants of chakra are left in the 'real' world all the time. And of course, redemption is huge in this manga. What Obito did was simply amazing.

I hope this is a wake up call for Sasuke and shows him that hate and anger is not the way foward, as Kakashi/Obito just showed him what real power is.
 
Kakashi made his name for being the copycat ninja. Remember when one of the sharingan if not the biggest ability was thought to be able to copy an opponents jutsu by hand signs (?).
