Awesome episode. Everything inside Naruto was great stuff. Very moving.
I just realized how much Rasenshuriken is basically a Destructo Disk. Naruto's next upgrade needs to be to learn how to control it in midflight. I'm sure a 4th clone will be required.
Anway, looks like Madara WAS lying when he told Sasuke that the Kyuubi attacking Konoha was just a natural disaster. Which means it IS Madara's fault that the Uchiha got wiped out since Konoha suspected(rightfully) that an Uchiha was controlling the Kyuubi.
Also, not sure I follow the Sage mode math used in this episode. Previously, Naruto summons his first clone, then proceeds to use a Rasenshuriken and Rasengan Barrage against Pain. He then loses Sage mode. Then he goes Kyuubi. And when he comes out of Kyuubi, he's in Sage mode?
He said he lost his other clone due to the Kyuubi disrupting his chakra, so where did that Sage chakra come from?
Or....did the sage chakra from his clone return to him when it was destroyed even though it was far away?
...I guess that would make sense...
They showed that she was alive in the previous episode.
As expected, since only Naruto's teachers die. *sage nod*
Huh...now that you mention it, that is kind of a broken Aesop...
Nobody tell Neji, he might go back to being an ass.
