Naruto Shippuden 344 begins with Madara learning about how he’s not truly alive to which Naruto gets pissed off and begins his attack. Kakashi doesn’t understand why Obito would join forces with Madara to which we learn that after Obito was left at the boulder he slipped through to Madara’s caves and was saved by Hashirama’s cells. Madara mentions that Obito will have to return the favor for saving his life. Obito keeps on moving with his weak body mentioning that he’s alive and going to be with Kakashi and Rin!










Naruto Shippuden 344 begins as Madara’s arrival shocks everyone. Madara asks Obito why it too so long, after Naruto shouts why Madara is there Kakashi and Guy become more cautious. Naruto asks what had happened to everyone over there with the Kage’s. Madara mentions that they’re most likely not doing so well. We see that they’re all in a near dead position.
We see Tsunade wake up to get her summoning up to which she mentions that at this point she wants to save all the other Kage’s since there is still a chance. At this point she is literally cut in half by a tree, her body is split. Naruto removes the restriction on Bee and launches them towards Madara. To which Madara blocks it using the Gunbai.
Madara notices the Gedo Mazo and asks that he’s pushing the plan along without even taking the Eight and ninth powers. Nevertheless he knows he has some plan. Nevertheless he was supposed to be brought back using the Rinne Rebirth used by Nagato. Naruto is upset that Nagato was used in such a way. Nevertheless Madara is ready and will get the Ninth and Eight Tailed.
Naruto attacks using a Mini Bijuu Dama however the Gunbai absorbs it and reflects the attack towards the clone and that is gone. Madara is going to get the tailed beast while Obito will deal with Guy and Kakashi. Kakashi asks why he would even deal with Madara. We see Obito wake up seeing an old man who is Madara.
Obito notices that Madara has a Uchiha eye, Obito asks where he is and mentions that Madara looks like a Shinigami to which he’s upset to be judged in such a way and begs to go to heaven for helping the elderly. Madara is impressed that he wasn’t completely crushed, it’s as though he slipped through the boulders.
Madara mentions that he shouldn’t be thanking him as he wants him to do a few things including bathroom related things. Obito mentions that since his Sharingan has awakened he wants to go and help Kakashi and Rin. We see when Kakashi and Obito killed the invincible guy.
They go after Rin when they’re working in complete sync helping each other when they need it. They defeat the guy and save Rin. Madara tells him to wake up to reality, he mentions whenever there is light there is dark, there is so much he doesn’t understand. We see when Obito was hit by the boulder while saving Kakashi. We hear his last few words once again.
Obito tells Madara to shut up, he notices how this old man has a Sharingan and hasn’t been seen by Obito before, he mentions that he seems like a rogue ninja to which Madara goes to sit down on his chair and mentions that he’s an Uchiha ghost, Uchiha Madara! We then learn that he is really old that has been using chakra from the Gedo Mazo to just stay alive. We also see it creating Zetsu’s as well as using cells from Hashirama who seems to be trapped within the Gedo Mazo.
Obito is told that his been able to live because he’s been stitched with Hashirama’s cells and was able to create his other side which was crushed. Madara mentions that he wants to create a world for peace, victory and love. Obito mentions that he doesn’t care and that he only wants to go back to Kakashi and Rin. Madara tells him that he can go die if he wants but he’ll be taking his right eye, as his real eyes are with Nagato.
He then shows Obito that he currently doesn’t have any right eyes and thus will most likely take his if he dies. Obito keeps on moving towards an image he see’s of Kakashi and Rin, he mentions that he will definitely get to them and tells both of them that he is truly alive! Naruto Shippuden 344 ends here.
What an awesome chapter, we finally know that Madara has not died and did so much after Hashirama has passed on, he was even able to take his body and use it on the Gedo Mazo. Can’t wait to see what Obito does next during next week’s Naruto Shippuden 345, titled “I’m in Hell”, when we see much more ob Obito and how Rin and Kakashi ended up!
