It's seems to me you were in trouble the moment you let this fascination with pre-pubescent japanese boys get you. :p

I hate to resurrect an old thread but... called it.

Crap. I left off where
Naruto just found out that there was a fight breaking out and him and 8 tails rapping dude were headed towards the battlefield.

I guess I have some light reading to do at my desk today. I totally need to catch up.

how could it be him though? wasn't he supposed to be a kid during the time of his original attack on konoha? he summoned the kyuubi too (haven't read this weeks yet)

resurrection I imagine. I thought he died a long time ago. And no, Obito is supposed to be Kakashi's age. They were on the same team together.

Who knows? Nine Tails attacked when the 4th was married and had a kid so it had to be at least a couple to few years after the "death" of Obito. The way they treat teenagers like fully grown adults in manga, it's impossible to tell how old these jokers are.

For all we know, Kakashi could've just been weaned off of breast milk when Obito died and he's just 20 years old now. It's all good in the manga world where the oldest main characters are typically in their early to mid-twenties and the average character is 15. And they all talk about how they received their "killer" training years ago as if they picked that shit up in World War 2.

It was mentioned Kakashi is about 28 a while back... so as of this chapter, he's around 30. Naruto should be about 17 now.

I was being semi-facetious... but kinda not. The Japanese have a very unique view of fictional characters (especially comics) where apparently only extremely young people get anything done. The really old (well over 30) are generally treated as background characters or comic relief. It's like a manga version of Logan's Run.

I still dont think its actually Obito, how the hell can someone go from being crippled, with half his body being crushed and in one year, growing to be the size of the 4th and summoning the kyubi and fighting on par with the 4th. He couldnt even fight with gui but a year later being able to lolrofl over konoha? Someone had to have taken his body over or something imo.

There's ninja techniques for creating physical duplicates, resurrecting people from the dead, shooting bones from your body and you're worried about how a crippled, probably never really dead guy can recover from something as silly as being crushed by a 10 ton rock? I think you give shounen jump mangas a bit too much credit. They're meant for kids. Suspend disbelief (and the expectation for any kind of meaningful plot).

I am curious though now why he became this monster... someone had to have did something horrible to him unless he had planned this all along since childhood.

Orochimaru probably resurrected him... not a coincidence he is back as well with Sasuke and knows everything.

Ill skip over the obvious parts of impossible, and just assume that the white zetsu merged his body with obito so it works the instant he was rescued. The big issue I have is how the fuck does someone so weak and pathetic become as strong as the 4th hokage in 1 year, seriously he had no potential, barely any abilities and goes to being so ridiculously strong. He knows all the ins and outs of konoha and where naruto would be born, killed a bunch of high ranking anbu, kicked the shit out of the elders, and then summons the kyubi like it was nothing. Even the kyubi notices his charka. Something is fishy here. Think about it, no one at naruto's age minus maybe shikamaru knew anything about the secret shit going on in the town.

Rinnegan maybe? It controls dead people like puppets. I dunno. I just accept it and go with the flow and try not to overcomplicate things.

One piece was kinda lame this week, just a bunch of people running away from gas, no more progress than bleach and thats saying quite a lot.
