Naruto Shippuden Chapter 642 - Breakthrough - Anime/Manga

                                          Naruto Shippuden Chapter 642 - Breakthrough
                                                        Story Arc - Ten-Tails Revival Arc
                                          Issue Link: http://narutobase.net/manga/Naruto/642

           So to start off, I plan on reviewing each new chapter of Naruto Shippuden each week. Spoilers are unfortunately going to be here, so be careful if your trying to not ruin reading the issue. This will mainly be my opinion of the issue and thoughts about the topics there in. I will try to keep it relatively brief and I will always include a link to http://narutobase.net/ as this is where I do all my manga reading and anime watching. Another excellent source of Naruto info is http://www.naruto.wikia.com/ a wonderful archive of all things Naruto.
           Since I am starting from what is most likely one of the last story arcs of this series I'll just jump right in. There is far to much story to catch you up on in one blog post and chances are if you've been drawn to read this you're already at least somewhat familiar with whats going on in the story line. Also please feel free to share your opinions and views on my blog. I'd love to hear from any and all Naruto fans!!!!
           Breakthrough continues with the 4th Ninja war and the massive battle between Uchiha Obito and Uchiha Madara versus pretty much the entire Naruto ninja world. For someone that been an avid reader of the series from the beginning It's exciting to see all the various characters of Naruto legend in battle. With this issue we are able to see more of not only Senju Tobirama but we also get even more of Namikaze Minato (pictured above). With each issue it becomes more and more clear as to why these particular ninja have become legend. Whilst the battle between a newly empowered Obito and Naruto, Sasuke, Tobirama, Minato and Killer Bee rages on, we also have Madara and Hashirama waging their own battle away from the others. 
           With Obito having sealed the Ten-Tails within himself, having become a new jinchuriki and gaining what seems to be control over this form. He has become, what he proudly proclaims, a god of ninja. Thus far it seems like his proclamation could be very close to correct. Having thus far managed to stave off everything thrown at him,...easily. The title "Breakthrough" comes from near the end of the issue. When Naruto, with the aid of Tobirama, manages to land a Sage Mode Rasengan attack on Obito. Up to this point any and all attacks whether ninjutsu, dojutsu or taijutsu have simply been absorbed, evaded or ignored by Obito. However Sage attacks seem to work just fine.
          Opinion time!!! First off Tobirama is AWESOME! As is Minato but lets be real we knew Minato was going to be cool. But everything about Tobirama screams AWESOME. His character design is by far one of the best. As is his overall persona. So count me in as a member of the Tobirama fan club. I truly believe a spin-off of Naruto that just started at square one, day one Konoha would sell just as well as Shippuden. It would even be nice for it to be a little darker, more serious. As any Naruto fan knows the writers get a little wonky with childish humor sometimes. 
           All in all this is a great issue and I am thoroughly excited for the next one. Which is always the hope of writers, to leave their fans wanting more. Mission Accomplished!
