Naruto 646 : God tree Summary +Manga Panda
Obito unleashes the Juubi which grows into a gigantic tree. The vines of the tree go after all of the shinobis are drain them of their chakra. Hashirama wonders what's going on, and Madara explains that the giant tree is the Shinju, the original form of the Juubi and all chakra had belonged to the Shinju. According to the secret Unchiha family stone tablets, people waged wars before they had access to chakra. The Shinju was worshiped as a god during that era. The tree bore a fruit which supposedly nobody should eat, but a princess ate it to gain the power to unite the people. The Shinju was angry and turned into the Juubi, but the Juubi was tamed by the Sage of the Six Paths who was the princess' son. Madara then states that introducing chakra to people changed nothing as shinobis still wage wars, and thus peace can only be achieved when the Shinju blooms and complete the Infinite Tsukuyomi.
Meanwhile, Naruto gets grabbed by the Shinju's vines and has his chakra drained, but he is saved by Sarutobi. The good guys then stare up at the giant Shinju tree and wonder what they can do about it.

This week on Naruto, the Infinite Tsukuyomi countdown has finally been activated, and the the final form of the Ten-Tails (Shinju) reveals itself. Interestingly enough, the reveal of this final form also gives us some other answers as well—the most important of which was what was written on the Uchiha tablet. And I gotta say, I didn’t expect this answer to come at this juncture, but it’s a pleasant surprise if I’ve ever seen one.
As it turns out, the tablet basically describes the creation of Shinobi and how the concept of chakra essentially came forth from mankind seeking a greater power. This power itself came from the consumption of a forbidden fruit of sorts—which was consumed by the mother of the person who would become the Sage of Six Paths—Ootsutsuki Kaguya. With that said, it suddenly becomes quite interesting to note that Kimimaro from a little while back was part of the Kaguya clan too… and the whole story ends up actually somewhat nice in terms of how it links to war and conflict repeating over time. Basically, the weapons change but the act of fighting amongst each other hasn’t, and it’s arguably something that can be applied readily to real life too.
Still, despite the interesting nature of the revelation, I can’t help but feel like it’s a bit of a hit and miss as well. For one, the large amount of references to other sources (Adam and Eve anyone?) makes it lose some of its novelty. Furthermore, the concept it brings up regarding fighting across history as a human thing isn’t exactly new either, and the fact it has been used or mentioned in many other previous works also takes away somewhat from the overall enjoyment. And while I personally did find this chapter a pleasant surprise, I reckon a fair amount of you out there probably didn’t feel the same, just because the revelations may or may not have had the same impact on you depending on who you are.
Either way, that’s about it I guess… and well, let’s just say time’s really ticking now that the “final countdown” is on. Admittedly, I’m wondering what exactly Madara’s going to try doing though, as his assertion that he’ll be the person to complete the Tsukiyomi could give us a very interesting twist in the future (perhaps he’ll end up taking down Obito himself somehow?). Guess we’ll see how that goes.
