Minato is that dude. Guy put a seal on his wife, so he can teleport to tap that whenever. Mother fucker has his own jersey number. The Fourth >>>> whomever, and Kushina gets mom of the year award. She gave birth to naruto and the fucking nine tails two right after, and is still alive.
And, I still stand by the Fourth >> Madara. He had to take his kid hostage. :tdown:
Exactly. Remember when Naruto and the fourth were talking? And everyone in this thread decided that Madara>>Fourth? Over something the fourth said…i dont remember it exactly but everyone wrote him off.
So far only thing Madara has done is run around and phase(?) through shit…
We know he got worked by the first w/ 9tail assist
We know he didnt want to see the fourth straight up
We know he pissed his pants when Kabuto open up the casket
We know he has to rely on Sasukes power to carry out his plan
I mean, im just not buying Madara right now.
Edit: @Zeon
Cmon son…we both know if he was truly stronger than Minato he woulda just curbstomped his ass like he did the anbu. Also if he can get close enough to snatch the baby…why not just attack Minato??
Again, why get in a long drawn out battle with the 4th hokage. If each Hokage is supposed to be as powerful as the last, then the 4th wouldn’t be no walk in the park by all means. Hell, I would do the same damn thing. Even if I COULD curbstomp Minato, I wanna strike while the iron is hot. It’s the ultimate opportunity. Brute force would just get shit messed up.
Im sorry, but Pein didn’t have to worry about taking on Minato, and then Orochimaru pulled a bitch ass move…hell even Pain did! They JUMPED the nigga they was fighting WHILE they were destroying shit.
the same aizen thats trying to kill a lil schoolgirl? also it was madara vs the whole of konoha. sannin, third, 4th, uchihas and pretty much the entire village. he doesnt have unlimited chakra, thats where the kyuubi comes in to lend a paw with the destruction.
Remember, this IS supposed to be a manga about ninjas. Madara did that shit Itachi style - made a quick and efficient plan to get what he wanted, and bounced. No need to fight if he didn’t have to.
I like how, with all this shit going on - Madara unleashing the kyuubi, Minato heading out to his final battle, Kushina on the verge of death and baby Naruto just having escaped death, Kishi still manages to give us as the final panel of the manga - Sasuke. Nice to see the Uchiha Hardon hasn’t gotten any softer.
Frankly I think jacking the baby was a damn good idea. Looking at the panels is seems that Minato can teleport anywhere within a radius of his special kunai; not only to the Kunai itself. Thusly the Kunai in the room hanging up. He just pops up in different places near those shits. Fuck fighting that bullshit, jack a baby!
Hell the baby was more useful to him alive, he knew Minato would save it thusly removing him from the question.
It’s standard villain shit though. Gaara gets baited to protect the village, Sasuke gets baited to protect Naruto (wave arc), Naruto
gets baited trying to protect a friggin frog,
Gives his dying wife her last moments of holding her son, pulls on the pimp coat, and flying thunder gods to business even though he knows his girl is about to kark it, and probably knows he’s screwed too
Minato, ever the badass
So where’s Minato and Kushina buried again? I think Kishi uses a lot of Da Vinci Code jk style symbols. Minato was all about husband/father, then he puts on the pimp coat and he’s the 4th hokage - responsible for Konoha. Akatsuki takes off their coat, they’re dead. Minato puts his on, oh shit watch out.
Plan B: Fight a living legend to the death and then get the 9 tails assuming you aren’t dead or horrendously injured
I’m all for Madara’s plan here, I mean while Madara is supposed to be one of the strongest ninjas to ever live… so is Minato. He took the easy route which while maybe not noble or some crap here was easily the most ninja way of doing it. Which is what this story is supposed to be about past all the Sasuke love and peace nonsense.
