LOL! XD
I think it also is just how Sasuke goes to becoming evil itself, and being basically what the Uchiha was seen as for a long time... nothing but full of arrogance due to their own power.

Sure I thought that Danzo putting Sasuke in his place a bit was kinda awesome, but the fact that more randomly new, conveniently-inserted jutsus keep popping up everywhere kinda put me to sleep at how overrated this whole chapter was. Not to mention, it was another Sasuke-oriented chapter.
I get Kishimoto is trying to set up the scenario of having Sasuke be the main villain in the story, but two chapters into the New Year and not even a little glimpse of NARUTO somewhere in there.... well, let's just say Kishi might as well just name this manga SASUKE since that's all we ever see nowadays anyway :\
Sorry for the little rant here, but I'm just sick of Sasuke atm pfft

Let's hope we get some more development on our secondary character, Naruto!

An excellent point there ciardha I always wanted to know more of Sakura. I mean she's a genjutsu type but she's a medic she has only shown her super strength and her medical skills from training with Tsunade but she hasn't done a single genjutsu. Has anyone taught her genjutsu??? I know Kakashi didn't because he only taught team seven walking on trees. Sakura's mother is not an important character I think Kishi made it clear when he said that she's just a normal girl so I think that's why he doesn't focus on Sakura's personal life heck we don't even know if Sakura's mother was all right or dead when Pain destroyed the village. I also would like to know if her mother has pink hair too proving where Sakura got her hair color even if Kishi said that he wasn't good at making heroine I think he wanted to make Sakura look unique her hair resembling the color of the cheery blossoms (a very famous tree in Japan) not to mention her name Sakura Haruno means" spring field cherry blossom"
I would like to see more of her skills too perhaps we will finally see with Kishi focusing more on her heroine role (which I wonder if he did that because of the angry N/H fan mail he received? )

Hopefully is just a name, and doesn't have anything significant to it, because the cherry blossom tree ounce they matured...they die.

Some types cherry trees live fairly long, the ones Japan sent the US in Washington DC in 1914 still bloom beautifully every year. The tart type (much closer to the natural type) live much longer than the sweet as well. I'd say Sakura Haruno is a strong willed young woman, so she's more like a tart cherry tree. The chinese attribute for the cherry tree is a fiesty girl. I think Kishimoto was thinking of that when he created Sakura's character.

I'm about as disgusted with the way the manga's turned out as anyone, but let's be fair. Part 1 was far more balanced and about Naruto. The first few arcs of Part 2 felt like his story as well. It wasn't until halfway through Part 2 (of what we have so far) that things went off the deep end. The manga feels like Sasuke's show now, but for most of it's life it's felt like Naruto's story.
Perhaps at some point Kishi just decided he wanted to write more Sasuke than anyone else - who knows, maybe he got bored with where the manga was going - and everything went downhill from there.

hope you all realize its not about Panel time, which by the wya Naruto still out does Sasuke in.
its quality over quantity and in Shonen this type of development is not unusual. Sasuke is a very important part of the manga. he is the focus for Naruto and Sakura the main characters as both antagonist and goal.
He represents the very notion that naruto is fighting against, the notion of hatred and revenge. he is the antithesis of the themes of the manga which is hard work and protecting your precious people as most important.
he is the base point of the romantic V that Naruto and Sakura are in. he was Sakuras focus for the first part and was the motivation for her to change that focus to Naruto in the second half.
Equally he was Narutos motivation for his promise to Sakura which has driven him to such extremes which by proxy have caused Sakura to notice him further.
Additionally he is the focus for Naruto as a brother and rival and a key stone fo his promise to Sakura that has caused him to change so drastically.
in the end Sasuke is a vital piece of the manga and is a strong motivation of the heroes in it.
when this parts done well see naruto and company.

After a well slept night (I was half an hour late from work) I started to think that this goes pretty much among the lines what Kishi said in one of his interviews, so I went thru them and actually found a topic on that: Naruto in 2008 thread. But it seems that a year of Sasuke turned out to be a bit more than that, so going on in these lines it could be a very educated guess that Sakura and Kakashis screen time is on our hands pretty soon...
Also in the Jump fiesta 2008 interview there are somethings that really make me think about what is going to come soon...

Yeah. It's also kind of interesting to me that the "no" kanji Kishimoto chose (there's more than one, even for the field meaning) is the same "no" kanji that is part of Yoko Ono's name. Yoko, along with Takako Doi, played a strong role in changing the image of what a Japanese girl and woman should be like for the age group now 30-50- especially for women but influentual for guys of that generation too (Kishimoto is 35). Yoko's first name means "ocean child" and what we've seen of Sakura's element ability it's water.... Takako Doi seems to be an influence on Tsunade's character, so Yoko for Sakura? Don't know, but it's an interesting thought. Certainly John Lennon and Yoko Ono were the prime influence on the creation of the equal partnership romantic couple in both American and Japanese fiction. No creative couples before so publically stated they were equal partners in everything- period.

they both have and in part 2 retain a somewhat chinese motif. the part 1 outfit was a loose battle dress done in a chinese styling.
her part 2 outfit retain that feel in the top area.
I dont think yoko was a precise influence. But i do think the notion of an equal was a very strong influence on Sakura and Narutos themes for relationship.
the heaven and Earth analogy was brought up several times both in part 1 and in part 2 and as weve seen when separate the two hold their own ok, but when together they become nearly unstoppable and capapable of supportinge ahc other through the worst times.

And now Sasuke gets another powerful technique... well this wasn't much of a surprise I guess...
Dang, too bad this manga couldn't have a cool main character like Naruto........................... oh wait.
Sorry for the anger
i was thinking, if this was sasuke's year and next is kakashi's year so then for 2010 it's going to be all kakashi instead of sasuke but still no naruto????
come to think of it, i've never seen naruto and sakura actually fight together....maybe ur right.

So if Danzou has the power of the Sharingan and Senju, does that make him a warped version of the Sage of the sixth paths? If so maybe he's the child of prophesy...lol Somebody should tell Kishi that nobody cares for this battle when the hero of the show is dying....wonder what it will say on his Gravestone 'Here lies Uzumaki Naruto, The undefeatable Hero, died from a panic attack.'
