What Madara’s believes to be Kenzentai is unclear at the moment. Cell from DBZ wanted to attain the perfect body – Kenzentai – because he believed it is the ultimate form. Why else would he bother collecting all the Bijuu if his only goal is to destroy Konoha and make a name for the Uchiha clan again? Madara’s wishes to attain Kenzentai, but what is it? If you read Binktopia’s scanlation of chapter 463, you’d see that the editor made note of Kenzentai as a Dragonball Z reference (Kishi’s is a big DBZ fan). However, revenge is not Madara’s only motive, and Kakashi suspected this all along.

This, in a way, Madara’s attempt to atone for his own defeat at Sanju Hashirama’s hands in the past by having the last of the Uchiha triumph over Konoha’s newest Hokage. Madara knows there’s something special in Naruto (maybe he used his trans-dimensional powers to take a peek at the title of this manga) and is bidding his time to allow Naruto to grow, probably into a kage before letting Sasuke bring him down. For one thing, although Naruto’s name is becoming more well known in other lands, he is still a genin with little official status in the Ninja World. But I don’t think the stage for that epic fight will be ready for a while yet. For his first goal, Madara claims he will send Sasuke to fight Naruto in the “long destined battle.” And if he wants that battle to prove anything, he’ll need to let the entire world be aware of it and accept it as a crucial event. One is to use Sasuke to prove the Uchiha’s existence to the world and the second is to achieve a Kenzentai – the perfect body.

It seems Madara has two objectives he wishes to accomplish. He does reveal his ultimate agenda, but it just raises more questions than provide answers. Madara’s talk in this chapter wasn’t nearly as revealing as last chapter’s topics. No need for my editing this week, this is hilarious as it is.
