Naruto 515

The good guys and the bad guys prepare for war.

You all knew this was coming.

Summary:
Tsuchikage flies the giant turtle back to the joint army HQ. Inside the turtle, Naruto has finished his biology mission, but Killer Bee keeps Naruto occupied by getting Naruto to manipulate blocks with his demon fox chakra. Having gotten the intel about the 100,000 Zetsus (thanks to the trail Kabuto left behind), the joint army organize their forces with Gaara as the head honcho and hand out matching headbands. Meanwhile at the evil lair, Madara puts Yamato into the Hashirama tree to strengthen the Zetsus. At the same time, Kabuto unleashes his collection of zombies, including the dead Akatsuki members, former jinchuuriki, dead Kages, and other famous deceased ninjas and notable characters in the series. With the army of zombies and Zetsus and intel extracted from Yamato, Madara and Kabuto march out to start the war.

Zombies!!!!!! Lol we all know Kabuto's zombie powers would be abused sooner or later, but it's still pretty hilarious that so many dead characters are being brought back. I guess it saves Kishi from having to create new villains, and the army of evil probably can use a ranking structure like the joint shinobi army has. Proper match-ups are important for these types of large scale conflicts in mangas, and having all the good guys (who are different individuals) all fight Zetsus would be kind of boring. The nameless masses from the joint shinobi army are still going to fight Zetsus, but at least the notable characters will get to fight zombies. With so many zombies, the chances of some of the zombies misbehaving is now higher, so lets see of any of them will manage to break free from Kabuto's control.

As for the joint shinobi army, I'm surprised that Gaara scored two general positions including including the highest brass, but perhaps the other Kages felt that it was better to let the youngest guy be the face of the army while they get to drive from the backseats. Also, I don't know if dividing up the main forces by their combat range is the best idea, but maybe they'll create groups with members from different divisions. Lastly, the matching headbands are a nice idea, but it's now hard to tell who is from which village anymore lol.
