Naruto 618: Revival of the Four Hokages

Recap and Comments of Naruto 618: The Ones Who Know Everything

The chapter starts with scene from a broken, abandoned house where Sasuke and his group (Including Orochimaru) have arrived. Sasuke goes inside and asks which one is it referring to wall full of masks which resemble "devils" with horns and everything.

Orochimaru takes the one they are apparently looking for with his snake hand and after that he says it's time to move on to the place where all the secrets slumber..

Sasuke and his group are walking in Konoha village which is a bit deserted, with only couple of people walking around the 'city'. Sasuke goes on top of a water tank to watch over the city and mentions this place having changed quite a bit. Orochimaru takes some time explaining what's going on with Sasuke to his group.

Sasuke goes beside a big slab of rock in the middle of some rumbles that has Uchicha mark on it and a apparent seal. Sasuke moves it with a jutsu. They make casual mentions how there's nothing left of the Uchiha Nakano shrine.

They go inside in front of a stone tablet and Orochimaru puts the mask on his face. Something happens to Orochimaru and we see a character (Shikifujin) appear, reaper familiar from a certain jutsu that the third hokage used to seal Orochimaru's hands.

We geat a flashback explaining about the reaper's mask which was the one Orochimaru used, it was found in the Uzumaki Clans mask temple on the outskirts of Konoha, after putting the mask on they must allow the Shikifujin (which means the basically the reaper that appeared) to possess you in order to release it.

To undo the jutsu, you need it to slice it's belly and Orochimaru needs to become a sacrifice in exchange so that way he will be able to regain his arms.

So Orochimaru gains his arms back and will be able to cast Edo Tensei. To summon "Those Four" they'll need to "donate" something for the jutsu: Juugo transfers the power of his cursed seal into Sasuke and doing that will force Tobi's spies, Zetsu clones to exit Sasuke's body.

The Zetsu clones then are used for donation to the Edo Tensei No Jutsu! As I expected, the ones who they revived are the previous Hokages, The First Hokage Hashirama Senju, The Second Hokage Tobirama Senju, The Third Hokage Hiruzen Sarutobi and The Fourth Hokage Minato Namikaze.

It was certainly a great chapter and it somewhat managed to keep my interest piqued. It's great to see that Sasuke is actually having a decent plan that he may execute either while the alliance is fighting against Madara and Obito. What I find interesting is that they revived the four hokages and as they themselves refer to them that they are the "ones that know it all" so they may get some important information regarding them and last but not least, they will be an invaluable fighting assett for them.

I think we should be really getting a conclusion regarding Obito, Madara and Juubi, since all that doesn't interest me somehow anymore: the mystery of Tobi has been revealed, Madara's best parts were seen already which were amazing, so at this point they don't have much to offer to the readers at this point. I'd like to see what Sasuke is going to do now, since he's a lot more interesting at this point than everyone revolving around Juubi.
