What a deep and tricky chapter. Makes me want to read the chapter again, and tear it into pieces so I can find my answer.

I
almost woke the neighbors up, for laughing out
so loud when I saw Yamato's expression.
"You make it sound so easy"
Seriously, he's
one of my favorite characters, with that
creepy stare of his, and his
unimaginable facial expressions.
---
Yey! Our blonde hero was able to at least spend some
quality time with the woman he loves, especially when Sakura was wondering why she would
try to cheer up Naruto. Why is that? Because she has a soft side for him, and maybe feelings that will be confessed/expressed soon!

First NaruSaku hint, people.
---
The Inari and Tazuna appearance, when I read it in spoilers, seemed so random and had a bad timing of sorts, but I understand everything now!
---
I really loved pages 02-03, 06, 07, 09, 10, 11, and 12. This showed that Naruto really cares for Sakura's feelings. Second NaruSaku hint!
The way he looked at her when she was sad about hearing the taboo called Sasuke, the white lie and fake smile, made me smile myself. Some people might have said that Naruto had given up
once again for his feelings for Sakura, since he had to accept that Sakura really loves Sasuke, but not me! For me, it was another step forward for the NaruSaku couple, since it shows how much Naruto cares for Sakura, and how much he would
actually do to fullfill his promise of a lifetime. That was true love! They have this silent bond that is unbreakable, and so, that is why we NaruSaku'ers just fell in love with the pairing! It has the most potential among the others!

The '
love triangle' comment made by Tazuna, was priceless! XDDD There
is a love triangle/s going around here in Konoha,
there is! =33
Inari is so kawaii! :33 I also loved how he casually said that Sakura is so pretty, with his pre-teen blushes too. 8DDD

Another one of my favorite moments in this chapter was the determination of Naruto to just bring Sasuke back. What he meant by knowing revenge, wasn't even close with Sasuke's since he did not avenge Jiraiya at all, even when he was given the chance of confronting Nagato.

He could have killed him, since Nagato was already weakened, but Naruto did the right thing in the end, and embraced Jiraiya's words.
He demonstrated
PEACE so well. (0.0) That is why fans love him! He's so selfless, and has the best attitude among the other characters.

That really showed how mature he
really was, and how much he is different when comapred to Sasuke. Understanding him was another step for the Naruto-Sasuke brotherhood. Now that was a genuine and real smile, Naru-kun. Good job!

Though this is a shounen/action manga, Kishimoto-san has highlighted the
BONDS each ninja have with each other. There is a whole different side for this story, and that is what makes it enjoyable. >8D

The Cloud team was pretty hilarious, especially with the girl being relieved that she wasn't the one who destroyed the village. ROFL. ((XD
Did someone notice that one of the ninjas that greeted the Cloud team looked like he had the Byakugan? Weird. I think it was page 13.
And, why did Naruto say 'Tsunade' instead of Baa-chan in page 02-03? Does that show maturity, or just
plain weirdness.? :]]

I hate Danzou
more than Madara! D8< I don't like him as Hokage. Never did, never will. I hope his reign doesn't last long. I can't believe Tsunade
was already dismissed! DDDX She might wake up soon! Doesn't the Council consider that possibility? DDD: I'm so mad!

---
The look on Naruto's face when Kiba said that Danzou had ordered the termination of Sasuke almost made me cry. How cold-hearted of Danzou! Argh!
![rawr.gif](http://www.narusaku.com/style_emoticons/default/rawr.gif)
What will Naruto do now? >.> I can't wait for the Naruto vs. Sasuke confrontation! I wonder what will happen?
---
I'm ranting, so that's all. I
really want to read Chapter 452 soon!
