Obito already resolved that reality couldn't possibly be real, and thus there was nothing wrong with substituting a happier fake. To a mind that busted any stimulus sufficiently potent will make SOMETHING happen, but lets be real it's a fucking roulette wheel.
Well... Obito going fully delusional is something we expected to happen. Now question is what he will do, because while he can't defeat Daisuke, he has a really good teleporting ability that may really fuck things over if he stops holding back and his own specific personal dimension.
Also lack of foreknowledge in this case when it goes to Daisuke hurts, because like revival of Jyuubi out of nowhere could be something that can ruin lots of plans. And from Naruto we do know that you only need 7 Bijuu to really pull this off, so Naruto may not even be needed to be touched in this case (and this plan is completely reckless idea, so yeah).
Also Obito sounds like a perfect Jashin target. If Jashin decides to boost up this guy... things may escalate indeed.
Itachi... Saner than Obito, but one does not simply genocide their entire clan without developing Problems. Still, he never stopped trying to protect Konoha, and his brother. With him I predict ultimately a decent end with a bumpy road getting there.
True, but I think he reached a point where he is
simply done. Like he wanted Sasuke to kill him to get some
rest. At this point I expect him to be suicidal and his agreement to 'kidnap Naruto' is him pretty much going rambo and hoping he gets himself killed.
I think in the end it depends on timing of some people trying to talk to him. He may either die in the line of 'duty' trying to do something stupid or someone like Minato catches him and orders him to stay or send him on a different mission. Because while Itachi is simply
done, his loyalty towards the village and his brother is simply stronger as long as
someone tells him to do so. Which may make a whole difference.
Personally I expect him to get bad end in fact, because things rarely go well for tragic characters like him. But in the end I also agree that Itachi more or less is indeed content and whatever will happen, he will simply accept it.
There's our collective musings on characters from the threads themselves which are a separate pile from direct canon depiction, because interpretation, persuasion of just how correct interpretation is, and your direct reactions factor in. This is a very large factor, because you are very social in the thread, and we muse on things nigh constantly.
Indeed. Unfortunately many characters aren't described in detail in canon story, so lots of this characterization is based on analyses of what we have access to and creating additional character profiling from that, while also lots of personal creativity. So far I'm fine with how everyone is present in this story, which is good.
The problem is that, well...Minato and Kushina didn't see that. And I guess Jiraiya didn't either, since he said yes to their insane demand.
It's not really surprising. Jiraiya is a godfather here. Shinobi really, REALLY don't trust easily. They are a paranoid bunch. Taking into how important Naruto is in this situation, no wonder they trusted someone who is pretty much the closest person they can believe in. In such situation shinobi (and well... let's be honest, most of us) will pick someone who is close to the family even if that person may not be competent over most reliable stranger.
Their choice is completely natural, it's just... Jiraiya simply wasn't a good choice for this pick. It's like demanding from a serial killer to be a good caretaker. And well, it didn't work out in the end.
But yes, village was indeed the safest pick, but of course Danzo imbecile needed to screw it over. Because it's such a good idea to reveal identity of the Jinchuuriki, knowing enemy ninja may pick up the truth from
talking on the fucking streets about it. Honestly other villages not learning about it is for me SoD breaking plot hole.
Also sending Naruto outside of Konoha could backfire for one very simple reason - his 'whiskers' on his cheeks. Yep, that's it. This is for any competent Ninja a sign that this kid may be special, like carry specific bloodline or something. Because only Konoha was reasonably safe place to keep him untouched. If he looked normal, I would say they could pull it off. But such an obvious blonde hair (reasonably common, but we very rarely see it in civilian population in Naruto and well... Yamanaka connection or something) and those 'whiskers' make him pretty eye-catching.
Yeah...in your guy's opinion, what does Daisuke stand to gain from Sage Mode? Just in your opinion.
I don't see why he can't learn it on his own? He is like literal walking bullshit. But I guess main thing is that Daisuke may understand Nature Chakra/Nature Energy closer in detail. Maybe it will unlock something like complete control over Elemental Nations nature or something.
Also well... Nature Energy/Chakra is literally the one way to counter attacks like
Truth-Seeking Ball. Yes, NOTHING else counters those outside of nature energy/chakra.
What if I told you...that Zetsu was crazy enough to go up to Daisuke and ask him to bring Kaguya back?
Taking into account brute force won't work and he knows it... he may in fact try it.
Also in the story he is depicted as a good manipulator, who orchestrated whole Uchiha x Senju rivalry and controlled the way timeline would proceed. Personally I really don't like this part of canon, but it is canon.
Maybe he may be resistant to Ninshu, to hide this fact and somewhat use his manipulator skills to get what he wants.
