Weekly! Naruto 669: Eight Gates Fighting Formation* (八門遁甲の陣…!! Hachi Mon Tonkō no Jin...!!)

Madara vs. Guy! No more flashbacks! This is it! Guy's Night Elephant attack is executed. Failing at first due to the pain inflicted by using such technique, Guy completely lands the 5 hits that complete Night Elephant. Of course, it wouldn't be completed without the support of Kakashi, Gaara, Rock Lee and the Fourth. Madara, with blood coming out of his mouth, still wants to fight and only got excited from the taijutsu Guy has showcased! Guy v. Madara part 2 coming soon! Meanwhile, Naruto regains consciousness.






*The title is kind of awkward. Yeah. I haven't found the right translation for this "遁甲" in Japanese but when I switch it to Chinese, it says "Fighters" so maybe it means something similar. Let's leave it at "Fighting" okay?

 Weekly Shounen Jump 17-2014
Previously on: Naruto 668: Guy-sensei releases the Eighth Gate: Gate of Death. Flashback to Guy's beginnings. His father, Might Dai is just like Guy today, outgoing and always in a good mood. He teaches Guy the "Eight Inner Gates" but suggests that he only use it when needed. Then back to reality, Guy-sensei closes the gap between him and Madara in an instant and attacks with his 夕象 (Night Elephant) attack.

Spoiler Alert! If you are gonna read this post, please read the actual manga first!

Summary: Guy executes his technique, Night Elephant, and hits Madara. Just about when he was trying to connect the hits, Guy feels the intense pain brought on by the opening of the Eighth Gate! Madara analyzes his opponent's attack while he lays stunned, covered in dust. He leaps through the towering dust clouds and faces his opponent.

Meanwhile, the support team has been planning an assist attack on Madara. Taking off Madara's black balls from his weapons cache is their priority. They come up with a plan using everyone's abilities. Rock Lee gets amped up and releases his Sixth Gate. Kakashi's vision is worsening and can not pull off Kamui unless he is near the target to be sent to the Kamui dimension.

Rock Lee is just too pumped for this.
Back to Guy and Madara, The first hit was deflected by two of Madara's balls. The balls, however, left an opening in Madara's back and thus he was hit by the fast connecting attack by Guy. The four hits of Night Elephant landed on Madara, and it looks like a barrage of giant elephants crushing him.

The hits look like Elephant feet right?
Stunned, Madara coughs up blood and takes a defensive position. The two balls that acted as a shield formed a sphere around Madara. The remaining balls were aimed at Guy but Minato blocked them (using Rock Lee's speed and his precision aim with the Kunai) with his body and presumably taken further away from their user. To break Madara's defenses, Gaara sent Kakashi near Madara to take away the barrier and give Guy an opening for the final hit of Night Elephant. Guy-sensei lands his fifth attack and Madara can only go along with the kinectic energy applied to his body. Sent flying as far as half a mile, Madara recovers quickly, wiping off the blood on his mouth and stands up. Guy-sensei's Night Elephant was not enough to weaken Madara and this only made him take his opponents seriously.

Yes, Naruto. It was all a dream.
Before the end of the chapter, a conscious Naruto appears. Awake and revived, what is going to happen in the next chapter?

Likes: We actually see a fight! Last chapter was a disappointment for a chapter as they just inserted a flashback and a meme. Night Elephant being executed is really awesome to see. Especially when the attacks that land look like an Elephant's foot.

Too much homo-butt stuff happening.
Dislikes: A certain video sharing site user commented about this chapter being "cute" because Guy was doing an effort to defeat "A GOD."  I agree with him. Madara is omnipotent at this point BUT remember that he is a mortal now and has a body of his own. A physical body which means, he's not invincible and can be injured. The only thing that will keep him from dying is his regenerative ability brought on by Hashirama's cells.

[Part I] Surprise,
Another thing that the video sharing site user commented about is the fact that Kakashi can still use Kamui. I agree, he should be depleted off of chakra. He shouldn't even be standing right now. He's used Kamui so many times now. Kakashi hasn't taken a break from the war and you would assume that he's pretty tired to even stand.

Say what? I can't hear you. Oh. That? Yeah! This whole war has only been for 3 days! Yes! First, we got the whole war going on, let's say that took 2 days. Then you have Obito coming, revealing himself and becoming the Jinchuuriki for the Juubi. After that, Obito is defeat in the same night he came. The same night, Madara became the new Jinchuuriki for the Juubi and that's where we are currently at. DBZ? Not quite.

[Part II] Balls and...
Quirks: How can Minato still move? Does he only need to think of going to point B to do the Thunder God technique?

Predictions: Naruto might be our saviour, or not. Well, I am looking forward for more taijutsu techniques from Guy-sensei. It won't do anything for Madara but it's entertaining anyway!

[Part III] Butt-intercourse
Past Prediction Result: I'm just about right when I said that Guy would only be stalling Madara. I never believed in Guy giving Madara a bruise anyway.

This review took about 8 hours to complete. While watching Genshiken for the third time. Also, replying to people's replies from a video sharing site. I still have to do the latest chapter of All you need is kill, Fuuka, and more now-reading posts! It never ends! Fear not! I do this for my readers! As long as someone gets here, even if by accident, I will still post reviews! それ じゃ! また 明日, 俺 の 友人! Sore ja! Mata ashita, ore no yūjin!
