It can be accounted for with the Whole Uzumaki clan being related to the sharrinans and senjuu theory. Why cant a few genes that help with longevity be scattered about. Plus there's always Tsunade as a half example since despite being old she doesn't actually look the part most of the time.
Wasn't it mentioned that Tsunade uses a jutsu to keep her looking young? lol
Yeah, Tsunade's youthful bust is the result of a jutsu. Also, Sandaime was pushing eighty, so it's less than plausible his father'd still be around.
lol.
As mentioned before, the Tsuchikage doesnt use a jutsu and he was alive when Madara was.
We are also talking about a manga where people have done the following to stay alive;
Switched bodies, pray to some god and kill a shitload of people to literally become immortal, steal body parts, turn themselves into a puppet, gather chakra into a point on their forehead, come back from the dead.
Should this topic really be discussed?
mmmm titty jutsu
You know, out of all the speculation concerning who Tobidara is, I really want Souj to be right. Even if I didn't want him to end up being someone out of left field, for some reason, it all makes sense. Fuck.
Souj I'm gonna fucking hate you if you're right only cause you will make that reveal not be as awesome.
Not to derail the topic of my super awesome theory, but I think we have been ignoring something that hasn't been said yet;
Naruto somehow negates Tobi's space/time jutsu, but it apparently makes his hits a lot weaker than normal. Or Tobi was just mocking Naruto.
i think he was testing to see how strong he was.
except that on the 1st page Tobi says "I should have slipped through you."
unlessssssssssssss I'm misreading and saying "It would have been better to just slip through you, but it didn't matter cause you couldnt even break my mask"
Which actually makes more sense, so nvm! In fact I feel stupid for even bringing it up cause that is obviously what he meant.
We're left to assume Tobi got surprised by the attack (thus his space-time trickery wasn't active) and the mask commentary was just bullshit to leave us readers in suspense over who's behind the mask. Special materials designed for war? Isn't that everything in the ninja world, Tobi? lol
If the mask could take a direct hit from Naruto without taking any damage then why hasn't Tobi made a suit of armor out of this amazing material yet? We could even get an A-team montage going.
I was just talking about what he said in the bottom left panel on the first page.
