Namikaze Minato? Kushina Uzumaki...
well, Kishi has finally spilled the eggs, the cat's out of the bag, for I was blind but now I see, it's all coming toghther now, the pieces are connecting now, the great plan is revealed..

enough with with the mindless loop, for now.

Jirayas' frog jutsu - BEST thing in this chapter.
Sasukes' senseless fight with Itachi - STUPID.
Payne really does seem to be pretty Uber, I hope he shows some serious personnality motives to match that power. but I still think that the girl is controling him (more ahead).

the whole hertiage thing, even though much appriciated (finally, it was getting old to yell at each new charecter that it's Naruto's dad), is kinda out of the blue... can't understand what was going in Kishi's mind when he wrote this..
I wonder how many people of the village know about this thing, if Kushina was a member of the village (at least for a few years, from child to adult) then it should be a given, and people could still have evidence to match her and Nartuo (and since she was dating the 4th, match Naruto to Namikaze - if the apperaence isn't a enough giveaway).
yes. and as Hikyuu says (and as i've been suggesting for years), I really hope that the Akatsuki lady is Kushina, AKA - Naruto's mother.
maybe she believed Naruto was killed during the seal, and joined the Akatsuki get revenge on the village that got her man and her son killed, but now she's made a deal with the leader to serve him if he promises her that Naruto will be allowed to live (or at least given a fair chance to fight one akatsuki at a time).

anyways, am I the only one that feels Kishi is rushing stuff over?
Naruto's parents, Itachi and Sasuke, Sharingan master user, Roots... usually we would have waited at least a year for all that to be revealed, and now we got a month of concentrated plot... weird. do you think he aims to finish it soon, say, at 400+ chapters?
