Naruto Chapter 664 Discussion

I honestly don't think Obito is dead.. He's dying because the Juubi was extracted but since Black Zetsu was able to steal the 9tails from Minato it might help revive Obito giving him the power to take control of his body again.. Then transferring the 9tails chakra to Naruto, redeeming himself before he dies.

I say it's Danzou who stayed out of Kabuto control like Itachi, and wasn't dismissed like Madara, and now he is trying to get Sasuke's eyes

I enjoyed this issue of the manga. Just when you thought it couldn't get worse for Naruto it did. In my opinion this is just setting up naruto to become the true reincarnation of the sage of the six paths. We know the Uzimaki clan is a direct descendent of the Senju clan, and although we do not know the true lineage of Minato it seems pretty clear to me that he is in some way related to Tobirama based on the fact that his (and Naruto's) jutsu are all based off of jutsus that Tobirama had invented. And we've all seen what happens when mix a Senju with a Uchiha, because of Madara, obito, and Nagato(pain). They all got stronger, and in some cases developed some of the sages powers. With that in mind I believe Sasuke must DIE! Although I love Sasuke, and think he's a total badass the manga is not called Sasuke. At this point he's a rival to Naruto's true dream of becoming the hokage. I think he's going to go out like a hero probably sacrificing himself to save Naruto, and with his final act he will give Naruto his eyes or something else that will allow Naruto to unlock his ultimate power... The sage of the six paths! All of the Kyuubi's are on Naruto's side too. We shall see how it all goes down, but I don't know any other way they are going to defeat Madara in his current form.

I felt it was a very odd chapter in some ways.  The Lee and Gai comedy felt like wasted panels at this point in the story.  Don't get me wrong I love those two but just not in this situation, they didn't contribute anything meaningful and whenever Tenten is shown you know it may as well be filler.  



Personally I did really like Naruto not being able to absorb the other half of Kurama from Minato as I didn't really see that coming.  I thought Naruto would get the chakra and then the reset button would be hit on the fight, only this time Madara is in super juiced Rikudou mode.  



Lastly, (more of a petty gripe than anything) I said to myself "there isn't a chance in hell we find out who approached Sasuke" and much to my own frustration I was obviously right.  I just feel that barely anything progressed and it was a "buying time" sort of chapter to further prolong this theme of Madara being untouchable.  I love the villain winning, and I like seeing Naruto finally getting his after talking his way out of so many situations, but these past 5-7 chapters to me really feel hollow.  It's like the manga tries to build towards something inch by inch and then falls off a cliff to start another new climb.



Anyway, I have no real theory as to who this man approached Sasuke might be, and I have no idea how Naruto will come back to life.  Although, I can just as easily see someone reviving Naruto with a "very dangerous and risky jutsu" they didn't want to use for whatever reason.  At this point I'm merely spouting off frustration though so I'll stop and wait for the next chapter to hopefully contain more intriguing contain than wasted panels on out of place comedy and a flashback we've seen already, there just isn't a need for that.

I like when Guy Team was showed, it bring a little comedy from intense moment.

The "Mysterious Figure" is the answer to everything.

Okay, I didn't expect that. I completely forgot about Lee and Gai.



Well it was nice to see team Guy again. They always bring comic relief, except that Tenten had to mention Neji.



I had the same feelings too. It felt inappropriate to crack jokes about your dead team mate so soon after his death...
