I swear to God too many long running series draw out battles to crazy lengths. Not the case here. Obito and Kakashi are still battling with genjutsu, but in this chapter they step out of that phase.
We are treated to some flashbacks to their time before the fateful mission that gave Kakashi is sharingan eye. Kakashi is clinging to his old friend's memory but accepting that to protect Naruto and his dream for Hokage and Sasuke's redemption, he must kill the man his friend has become.
The chapter does a very good job of mixing the flashback with the current action, a sparring fight plays an emotional counterpoint to the deadly battle on the pages. The result of the fight is not a surprise after all "Tobi" has done up to now.
Kakashi lands the definitive blow, but Obito uses his eyes to slip away.
We flash back to the all out battle of the newly resurrected Kage and the Allied Force against Madera. It appears the master mind behind all of the woes and tragedy of the world is tired of waiting for his new form.
We are left with Obito being betrayed by Madera and a last flash of the past for Obito of Rin as she was back then. What lies in wait may FINALLY be the end of this war. I hope the anime catches up to this because quite a bit of this I would love to see if it would translate well or not to animation.
I also really want to know if Sai's observation about Sakura means what I think it does...previous chapter.
