Review: Naruto Manga 575: Stone Will

This chapter was very exciting, although, there wasn't any movement plot wise and Madara use of forest, susanoo and giant fireball is starting to get old. The only thing that is keeping me interested in the fight is  Madara's arrogance and put down of the Kages. 

This chapter the focus jumps back to Madara vs. The 5 Kages. Madara is still whopping butt and shows a glimpse of the sages power. The Kages haven't landed a decent hit on Madara nor attempted at any strategic planning in order to defeat Madara. On the other hand Madara hold the EMS + Rinnegan so the Kages beating is warranted, but as per shonen bosses, I fear that all this building up will lead to a very sad and  embarrassing defeat for the Legendary Madara by method of "will power". (In fact, we saw a glimpse of this "will power" from Onooki after his flash back.)

Notes: I noticed alot of people missed the symbolism in Oonoki's flashback, so I have posted it here. 

The revelation of the First Hokages face attached to Madara's chest was not that much of a shocker, especially after seeing a sharingan-arm.  (Remember Danzo...).I find it a bit frustrating that all you need are a couple cells and you able to steal a blood line limit. 

Note: I find the stealing of justu's in Naruto border line ridiculous, from the cultivation of sharingan's to the robbing of the Hokages cells, I think it sends the wrong message. The majority of powerful people in Naruto have had some type of transplant to achieve greatness. Naruto (the fox), sasuke (itachi's eyes), madara (hokages cells), kakashi (obito's eyes), etc.

Towards, the end of the chapter we see Sasuke running into the forest. He FINALLY passes by itachi, who seems to be in a rush to stop Kabuto. Although Sasuke seems surprised, it looks as if Itachi has totally ignored Sasuke, which was heartbreaking and hilarious. 

Note: I'm hoping in the following chapters, Sasuke and Itachi have an actually conversation regarding the truth about Itachi and whether Tobi is telling the truth.

Question for the readers: How did Madara gain the First Hokage's DNA and Rinnegan?

Post your comments below! 

Note: When Madara was first resurrected, he asked Kabuto "do you know the secret of my body", as if he had already had the First Hokages cells before death. Secondly, Madara stated that he had acquired his Rinnegan before his death. This could be possible because, Madara never said that he died at the valley of the end. But then what killed him and who would have performed the experiment on him?
