Let's start with NaruSaku. It's goin strong. We've got that admiration and respect thing, that, you know, kinda is what relationships are based on...so there's that. Still, I'm holding out for Hinata + Sakura in hospital with Naruto. Both having confessed love, (but one real, one arguably false...for now)
Next, Sasuke going for Itachi's eyes. Will Mandara allow this? HELL NO. Or at least he'll add some failsafe. Mandara hasn't survived all this time by being a moron with loose ends. Sasuke is one HELL of a loose end. Hmmmm...Sasuke's current crazy rampage is all about restoring his clan. And Mandara is partially responcible for KILLING the clan. This is one double cross that everyone should see coming a mile away. To add to this double cross, Mandara NEEDS the Kyuubi. Kyuubi dies if Naruto is killed. Sasuke want's to kill Naruto. [cue audience] Ohhhhh...
And finally, the thing that I've been waiting for for ages, KABUTO!! I called this YEARS ago. Only questions: what is his endgame, and is HE in control...or Orochimaru? Can't wait to see how this goes!
I'm not worry about Hinata's confession at all it's been 49 chapters since her confession and Naruto hasn't even thought about it. Here's the thing he can't think about it because he doesn't remember Hinata's confession.
