moar and moar new characters and we need moar right?
It's never ending, its all over the place

"Bloodline expansion"?

Next it will be revealed that Madara and the Fourth had Bloodline Expandedlimitationexpansion and we should all be very impressed.

Yeah, the chapter was all over the place. There's no clear direction for where the plot's going to go next, but we've sure got setup for a ton of different battles: Gaara & his father, Hyuuga smackdown, Raikage vs. Raikage, Tsuchikage vs. Tsuchikage, Tsunade & Dan--did I miss anyone?--and let's not forget, the Naruto-wannabe brothers, Asuma, Kakuzu, & the pompadour-wearing Mizukage. Oh! And it looks like all the feudal lords are about to be attacked.

All that military strategy stuff in the middle of the chapter was totally TL;DR. It doesn't matter to the plot anyway since Kishimoto will do as he always does and start a storyline but then get distracted by another one. 😛

This is gonna take forever.
It's like Kishimoto decided to show all of his scraped ninja ideas in one giant arc.

To be honest, I'm more interested in all these nostalgia fights (Sai vs. his brother, Kakashi vs. Zabuza and Haku, etc.) than the actual war. The only thing I don't like is that Kishimoto has stacked up so many of these potential fights in the past few chapters that some (If not most) of the fights are bound to start and finish off-screen.

I will admit, introducing new powers this late in the story seems kinda unneeded.

Just because someone's head was chopped off doesn't mean they're dead. That's just silly.

Yeah, I still don't know what that was about... they had the kyuubi chakra or whatever, but I thought the kyuubi had always been in Naruto's family... :/
