Is that the final plot twist of the series? Sasuke was a scroll all along.
I would love to believe that the image hints that Naruto and Sakura are going to fight Sasuke together but I can't. Everything has lead up to a Naruto vs Sasuke fight. But if Tsunade dies I'd accept Naruto and Sakura vs Orochimaru, the students of Jiraiya and Tsunade finishing their conflict for them.
Oh no, I totally wasn't suggesting that Sakura should fight with Naruto against Sasuke. That wouldn't feel right for me. I just wanted to point out that the cover page actually has Naruto and Sakura side by side. At the beginning I didn't notice at all so you can imagine how pleasantly surprised I was when
Canadian_DJ pointed it out.
I actually thought that Sasuke was actually looking back at Sakura, which I found weird since it would make more sense for him to look at Naruto. Now that I know he's a scroll I see that he's looking right to the front, and even if he was looking at Sakura it doesn't matter, he's a scroll.
By the way, I really like your idea of Naruto and Sakura fighting Orochimaru. If they don't team up in the juubi fight that could be a reasonable scenario in which it could happen. Let's see. Although I'd rather it happened now.
