[RECAP]

#599 finally revealed Tobi's identity. Even if you missed it, Kishimoto is such a genius that just by reading the title of the chapter (Obito Uchiha), you'll get to know that >.<

[REVIEW]

All those people who have their fingers crossed since the last chapter in the hopes that he isn't really Obito can now uncross them. Your wishes have NOT been granted. Sumimasen. The panel below confirms it. I know, most of you right now are preparing to write hate mails to Kishimoto but he doesn't mind (no, he doesn't mind).

Most of the remaining part of this chapter was a disappointment. I hoped since it was #600, it would have something cool in it for sure, maybe a Kakashi vs Obito fight or something else. But no, Kishi trolls us again and does what he's best at: Flashbacks.

Apart from the Kakashi Gaiden flashbacks, Rin's death is finally confirmed. Nobody knows the cause but when Kakashi asked Obito why has he turned so evil, Obito replies with:

In his last breaths, Obito asked Kakashi to promise that he'll take care of Rin after him. So the whole point of Obito coming back from the dead, killing several dozens of ninja's, starting a war between all the nations and capturing the tailed beasts is being FRIEND-ZONED.

Just when I thought this couldn't get any more worse, Madara arrives in the battle zone. This could mean two things: either it's a clone or he has DEFEATED THE FIVE KAGE'S!

If you don't know anything about it, some chapters back, the five great Kage's were trying to beat the reincarnated Madara, but didn't have much luck against him since he summoned twenty-five freakin' Susano-o's at once. It would be really sad if the latter is true, since we've missed an off-set fight due to some stupid flashbacks.

Let's hope for the best :)

Till then,

Arigato.
