This story actually sums up how I sympathized with Madara fairly well — in fact, this story places it in words more eloquent than I could come up with — and it could make those of you who hate Madara see him in a different light.

383	* Recommended by: winternightingale
384	* ''Status'': Complete
385	* Synopsis: The Sage of the Six Paths had planned his Grand Entrance to perfection. That plan had not involved arriving early and getting lost on the outer perimeters of Naruto and Sasuke's Minds. Since neither Mind wants to die any time soon, guides have been sent to help the Sage get back on schedule.
386	* Comments: One of those rare fics where your brain instantly goes "canon freaking accepted". Also very very funny. I love everything in this fic, including the fact that [[spoiler: Itachi's crow shitted all over Naruto's mind]].

394	** An old Kage has a discussion with a new one and HilarityEnsues. Peace through superior firepower taken to its utmost conclusion; it's a beautiful thing. --[=RazorSmile=]
395	** I don't see what's hilarious about it, but it's well-written. It's interesting how (to me, at least) neither side is completely wrong in the scenario that's laid out. --@/{{Pastykake}}
