Naruto Chapter 589 - The Edo Tensei Jutsu, Released - Review / Thoughts

Oh damn, what a chapter this was! After all this waiting, Naruto 589 finally deals with the Edo Tensei, plus Madara once again shows why he is the most badass character in the Manga.

Well, not including Hashirama since we haven't got to see him, but Madara is definitely the most badass atm.

I love these Madara chapters though, they are always fantastic and never disappoint. Perfect Susanoo already has me massively impressed, and he has only made it do one thing so far (albeit slicing a mountain in half, which of course is pretty damn amazing). Perfect Susanoo is the most interesting technique in a long time, and to me certainly seems to be the most powerful as well, so the Kage can thank their lucky stars Itachi was around to save the day by undoing Edo Tensei.

Though that does bring me to a different point, as I felt so bad for Sasuke in this chapter. It's like he finally came to realise that Itachi would never change, and that all he could do was accept what his brother was doing. It was good to see he still hasn't forgiven Konoha to be honest, as otherwise it would have been a pretty lacklustre end to the Manga as far as Sasuke goes.

I personally would now like to see Sasuke arrive at the other battlefield and cause some major damage, and thinking about it, it could be one of the few outcomes that would make the loss of Madara (if he is forced to go, which would be a big shame and I am hoping won't happen) more tolerable. It has been Madara vs the Kage that has kept me interested in the war arc in all honesty, as Tobi's stuff has been long and drawn out, as has Sasuke and Itachi's sections.

What would be pretty awesome would be if /when Madara is taken out of things, Sasuke showed up to fight the Kage himself. Since he has an EMS of his own, there is a chance he could have his own Perfect Susanoo (which would be beyond amazing, plus would be a fair power up to rival Naruto's Kyuubi powers) and start destroying things then.

Aside from whether he gets to kill anyone or not, that would also set up nicely for Naruto to arrive to save the day. It would also be almost like Madara vs Hashirama in the sense that it would be two eternal rivals fighting it out, both of them with insane powers and going all out, and I could even see maybe a new VotE style path of destruction from the two colliding, thus setting a new legend for the future.

Of course Tobi still has his role to play though, and the above was just a possible scenario somewhere down the road. But back to the present chapter, all I can really say is that once again the chapter was fantastic, I honestly can't wait for the next one, and lastly that I am really hoping Madara finds a way of staying for a while longer to conclude his battle.
