** It's implied that he just heard his daughter's CatchPhrase from wherever he is.

*** Or the inverse of that, as a [[Franchise/HarryPotter Dumbledore-style]] MyDeathIsJustTheBeginning. "Those b*** ds made me kill my family, and I'm not getting any stronger, but my little bro has potential, so lets just let whoever's stronger in a while get the eternal mangekyo and [[KillEmAll slaughter 'em all]]."

** Please explain, in detail, how the Edo Tensei works? [[YouFailLogicForever You are making assumptions on how a technique works with absolutely no evidence, and is in fact contrary to the portrayal of how it works]].

** Plus, when has age mattered to how old a teenager appears to be in anime? [[Anime/EurekaSeven Gidget]] is 15, Goku is 14 and Bulma is 16 at the beginning of [[DragonBall Dragon Ball]], not to mention all of the [[ReallySevenHundredYearsOld Really Seven Hundred Years Old]] characters...

** Madara personally reminds me of the [[{{Hellsing}} Major]]. He likes combat and warfare, even if it's not a good idea for the long run. What, you think he wrote down, 'Wear a swirly mask and act like an idiot with ADHD for a little while' because it was a brilliant strategy?

** Shinobi parents who died before the attack? Traveller deciding to pass a jutsu on to a capable brat? Jiraiya did it. Or hell, she could have been reading books on astral projection, and wound up finding she could extend her chakra. What I'm interested in learning is why she didn't warn anyone ([[{{CassandraTruth}} although...]]), or why Orochimaru let her put [[{{FetishFuel}} short shorts]] on the Sound Budget.

** It's ending in Chapter 699, with the ''Naruto: The Last'' movie serving as an epilogue.

* Kaguya's plan for the people in the Shinju. Madara made a point of talking about how everyone would be locked in a LotusEaterMachine forever, sustained by the Shinju. Then along comes Kaguya, and after the entire population of the world, save for Team 7, have been turned into tree decorations, Black Zetsu reveals she's going to make them into her 'soldiers'. ''Why?'' This plan makes no sense! For what purpose is she going to use this army? There will be no-one to wage war against, because ''every single person in the world will be a fucking plant person''. Unless she's planning to do a [[Manga/SailorMoon Sailor Galaxia]] and conquer loads of planets or something, which would be extremely out of place in this manga. Madara's plan at least had a purpose; he was old and bitter and thought he could end all suffering by shoving everyone in the Matrix. I'm not getting exactly what Kaguya wants to achieve here.

* Two things that have been bothering me this week. Firstly, what is the deal with the White Zetsus? I thought they were spawned from Hashirama's cells, but then you've got Black Zetsu revealing that all the people assimilated into the tree are going to turn into White Zetsus. I think the cocoons in which they're wrapped will fuse with their bodies or something. Am I missing something here or is this a retcon? Secondly, we have Kaguya's plan for the people in the Shinju. Madara made a point of talking about how everyone would be locked in a LotusEaterMachine forever, sustained by the Shinju. Then along comes Kaguya, and after the entire population of the world, save for Team 7, have been turned into tree decorations, Black Zetsu reveals she's going to make them into her 'soldiers'.

** It has been team battles before [[spoiler: as shown in Obito's flashback]]. My theory is that, with the Rookie Nine's exams containing two Jinchuuriki, they decided to make it one-on-one fights to hopefully curtail damage if the Jinchuuriki lost it. Can you imagine if Shukaku or Kurama had gotten out in the midst of a three-on-three battle? Or Gaara in a three-on-three battle ''in general'' at that time? While the second stage could contradict that, it was also something that took place in a huge training field with lots of other dangers, a waiver, and no real guarantee that the Jinchuuriki would meet anyone during that time. Or it could just be that the selection of Genin that year involved so many heirs, bloodlines and other high ranking children (the Kazekage's kids, etc) that they decided that one-on-one fights would get a better showing at the matches because all attention would be on the last Uchiha/Hyuuga prodigy/Kazekage's son/etc instead of split between six fighters. Furthermore, this exam also contained an InoShikaCho combination - it's possible that the Hokage (and perhaps other village leaders) felt that it would be unfair to expect other teams to go up against a trio perfectly designed for team fights?

* Zetsu can travel great distances and sneak up on people so why isn't he used as an assasin or try abduct Kyubi whilst they sleep?

** Madara was the first to unlock Mangekyou. Neither Madara nor Izuna would have known beforehand that they should have kept Madara's blind eyes until Madara recovered from the surgery with new powers. By then, his eyes might have rotted, making them unsuitable for the transfer.
