CLOSING "MOTHER" By MUCC​

Last Time on NARUTO SHIPPUDEN

Spoiler

A and Tsunade intercept Naruto and B to force them back into Paradise (or die- A's choice). B let's A look into his thoughts and the origin of their relationship.

Although the Manga & Anime are finished, please no spoilers. A will probably rationalize your upcoming death as being for the good of the Alliance.

Time for a test of will, lariat vs lariat.

Can't help but wonder if Masashi Kishimoto was ever a fan of wrestling? I don't remember any mention of that in the author notes of the manga volumes.

"Missed me, missed me! Now you gotta LET ME BE AND TURN THE TIDE IN THIS WAR, ALREADY, FOOL, YA FOOL!!!"

lol, they used a JoJo card for a return from a commercial break.

Had a feeling Raikage would let Naruto go. Makes sense if would have been after Naruto dodged his punch.

Uh oh, Madara has another curve ball.

Episode 283: Two Suns!
Based on Naruto Chapters 543-544

Lord First!
After getting outrun by Naruto, A allowed Naruto and B to fight in the war, putting an end to the ‘Confining the Jinchikuri’ plotline.

Shikaku deduces that Naruto can detect the White Zetsu Imposters, and spread his doppelgangers to go after all of them.

The Second Day of Battle begins.

Madara assembles Edo-Tenseis of the six Jinchikris, all with a Sharingan and Rinnegan.

The Plot Thickens…
Tsunade stands by Naruto and B against A, ruling that even if they remove Nine Tails from the enemy they can’t guarantee naruto’s successor will control Nine Tails so effectively. She further confirms her belief that the Jinchikuri will prove beneficial for the war.

The Tag Team's partnership ended when A became Raikage. He began to see B as a weapon and less as a brother/partner, confining him to the village.

Naruto tells A and Tsunade his experiences with his mother and his duty to stop Madara. A realizes Madara’s culpability in the Nine-Tails Village Rampage.

Love, Family, and Friendship.
In the flashback, A is so grief-stricken by his father’s death that he smashes a path through several walls.

Naruto and B tell A the importance of their loved ones giving them strength. B views A as his Sun. Naruto says his father and mother are his two Suns.

Tsunade respects Minato’s cleverness in sealing the Nine Tails inside Naruto, realizing he was planning for the future.

Remember When (or Not)
Tsunade remembers Naruto getting his hand stabbed by Kabuto.

There is a flashback of the mourning A setting up his new relationship with B.

A remembers their brotherly promise to get stronger for their teamwork, Blue B’s words, and his oath of affection at the Waterfall of Truth.

Sakura defeating Zetsu-Neji is recounted.

Naruto transforming into Nine-Tails and regaining control in the Pain battle is recounted.

A remembers Madara rescuing Sasuke at the Kage Summit.

Minato’s fight with the Tag Team is recounted.

But in the Manga…
The Anime adds Katsuya noting to Tsunade her inability to detect their speed.

When B calls his brother a fool, the Manga has him spitting out blood. The Anime omits this.

The Anime is more specific of B learning where to find his brother.

The Anime adds B walking through A’s path of destruction.

The Anime adds Minato’s fight.

Anime Shikaku is less frustrated about his fear that A will not allow Naruto to contribute.

Not that I agreed, but I distinctly remember someone I knew who claimed that when Madara brought out the Jinchikri (who each had one Sharingan and one Rinnegan), that was his "Jump the Shark" moment.

I feel that, well, of course the villain would bring out big guns like this. It didn't feel unnatural to me.

I think I get it, like "how the hell does he have some many Rinnegan eyes all of a sudden?"

Admittedly, that was something that was never explained well in the series, but from what I understand...

A lot of people assume that all the Pain bodies had their own Rinnegan. That isn't technically true; only Nagato had the Rinnegan, but the "Six Paths of Pain" power let the other bodies under his control "mirror" the Rinnegan. So Madara was able to do the same thing as long as he had Nagato's original Rinnegan.

This page explains it better than I do, I think. I wouldn't go past the first answer just in case of spoilers, though.
