Efra we don't have to be a rocket scientist to realize that Sakura loves Naruto more than the crush she used to have for Sasuke. She knows very well she loves him.

Exactly, it showed how intensely she loves Naruto. She cries when Naruto says to Sasuke "If we really do take this all the way to the end, and we both die... we won't be Uchiha, Jinchuurikis or anything. There'll be no more burdens to bear. We'll come to understand one another in the next world!"

^^ Like I said a 100 times.. Xxx HaPPy! Naruto isn't suicidal ;D *dances*

On a more serious note, I must say, Kishimoto made Naruto look epically hot with the wind blowing in his hair. Until the last panel, his face freakin' scared me. Also, I didn't see much of an NS moment but heck, I'll play along ^_• Yeah..

I actually kinda thought Naruto was going crazy for a minute when reading the chapter and was talking about his rant O.o goodness gracious he didn't.

Okay, Sasuke needs to leave now so Naruto can starting traing and *cough* NS=Canon *cough* so move Sasuke so we can get the show on the road!

[Evil Potato]

All in all, I'm happy, next chapter I think that Naruto and Sakura will have a nice talk about things, maybe, hope so.

Naruto vs. Sasuke, the battle with no victor, a tragic ending -----> like I've said b4, I think Naruto will die in the end, permanent death or not.

[ShippudenGirl]

I still truely hope Naruto doesn't die. Seriously, I just can't see him dead T_T Ohh... Poor Sakura-chan..

[Evil Potato]

Maybe we will get a happy ending

And thus a new couple was born: Naruto's Fist x Sasuke's Fist. Yakatsu is it's first fan

[Serenity Namikaze]

Let not worry about the ending for now. There is a lot that can happen and even if it isn't much, we could see doubt in Sasuke's eyes for a moment. If he no longer care as he want us to believe, he wouldn't have said 'wait' to Madara , he wanted to hear what Naruto had to say and when he asked why Naruto care so much, that alone it a proof that Naruto isn't insignificant to Sasuke ( even if he say otherwise) and let not forget the look after Naruto gave him the answer. Maybe it will end with both of them dead but I still believe that Sasuke can be save...not necessarily alive but redeem.

nice one

Owh Sakura... she tearing up hearing Naruto's resolution... Sad chapter for me

Yeah, when Naruto said that to Sasuke I felt the sadness of Naruto trying one last time to reach Sasuke. And Sakura's tears over Naruto almost made me tear up. I think we might see even more tender expressions of Sakura's feelings for Naruto after this.

And again, instead of a grande climax we have a yet another build up. We're building a scene for a massive battle of two friends and enemies. Those two will cross blades, the question is what will be result of the confrontation. We know who (Sasuke v. Naruto) we know where (Konoha) all we need to know is when and what will be the ending. Will we have a yet another VotE with two statues of Naruto and Sasuke in the middle of New Konoha. Or will we have the triumph of the blond fox? Also, what next? Naruto, Sakura and Kakashi will have to go back to the village with their 7th Hokage(Kakashi). They will not only have to rebuild their shattered nation, but also wage war against three major opponents the Godly Madara, Mad Sasuke and invisible Zetsu... Its going to be interesting...

[Insurrection]

You have to say this chapter kind of puts this in perspective for Sakura, hopefully. It would make all her feelings for Sasuke insignificant in comparison to what Naruto's are. I know Kishi isn't the one to look with detail but from my point of view the past 4 or 5 chapters were a way to show who Naruto and Sasuke truly are. Sakura should have a clear idea on who they truly are now.

Naruto even admits the preachiness is a little long for him.

Now that that's settled I'm sorry, I have to get this out of the way....I know some people don't like the Obitobi theory but the possibility to transfer essence of one's soul into a Sharingan, the one eye, youthful appearance, bandaged and damaged front face. The fact it's Kakashi's year? Guys this is clearly another one of those manerisms from Kishi. Remember how everyone said the Fourth Hokage was Naruto's dad and pointed to everything obvious even though Kishi didn't spill it until halfway into Shippuden, c'mon it's looking like Madara implanted his soul into Obito. One more question to prove my point, how come only Madara and Kakashi are the only two Sharingan users that can warp places?

Edit: I needed to make another point, this theory seems to look more plausable recently because when you think about it being Kakashi's year and Naruto's constant reminders of how he couldn't save one friend, you have to think Kakashi has suffered through the same thing with Obito. Everyone wanted to know how Kakashi got his Sharingan so they tell the story of his team. We don't really know much about Rin other than she's Sakura-ish, but we focus on Obito, I would have more than one motive to make that story. If I were Kishi I would find a way to use it later on in the story otherwise why release Kakashi Gaiden before Shippuden?

[Evil Potato]

Man, its funny how I can just keep reading this chapter and it never gets old.

@ Insurrection ---> Yeah I guess that the Obi/tobi theories do make alot of sense. The right side of Obito's body was smashed and the right side of Madara's face is messed up, plus his right arm was a fake I think, I mean he just popped it off in one fight, and his hair is just like Obito's. Plus they have similar warm hole abilities, except Kakashi uses it like an attack and Madara uses it as traveling purposes. So I guess there is a lot of evidence for said theory.

[Codus N]

And having Madara possess Obito would make a great plot for Kakashi. Because, he'll have to kill "Obito" if he wants to help bring peace to the world with Naruto. This will no doubt give an emotional conflict for Kakashi when he finds out....

[Denim88]

Aha! There's Naruto! I was wondering where he was hiding, lol

Kishi's managed to bring Naruto's in-your-face attitude back out into the open. Definitely a big moment here; Naruto's basically calling their battle an inevitability (which was an obvious fact since the moment Sasuke left for Orochimaru).

I guess Naruto's come to terms with the situation; either he manages to convince Sasuke to let go of his hatred, or he becomes the target of that hatred. Truly showing the big heart Naruto has, in my opinion. Seeing as Sasuke's hellbent on his revenge on Konoha, I don't think there's going to be any way out of this 'final battle' between the two. Not only that, but it looks like Madara's going to try and convince Sasuke to hunt down Naruto for him.

Man, I was hoping for a bit more of a battle, but I guess we wouldn't have a fair fight, seeing as Sasuke's running on exhaust right now, and Naruto's still a bit shaken by all the crap happening around him right now. They need time to prepare.

Well, not much else to say. Naruto's declared that he's the one who'll take on Sasuke, and no one else. Bold and spoken as he sees it. I expect that this won't fly with some of Naruto's friends (namely Sakura and Kakashi), but once the blond has his mind set on something, there's not ifs, ands, or buts.

Only time will tell how the fight will, I suppose.

Danzou never was officially elected as Hokege and I have my doubts Kakashi will accept the title of Rokudaime Hokage. He may propose a temporary fill in for Tsunade.

Good Chapter turned out much better than the spoilers made it seem.

I'm glad Naruto finally has some resolve.

(Sasuke showed hes still human? possible first step to redemption shown here)

Madara was seemingly melting in one of the Panels.

Possible foreshawdowning to 3 v 3 in Future (NvS KvM and SvZ)

Okay i am going to bring up the Poison again. I am certain it is in his body. Hasnt anyone else noticed the cut is still there. If Narutos healing powers were working correctly he should have been healed by now.

[Froot]

I could be wrong, but does the end seem near?

I think this next arc is going to cover Naruto's training. Is that right? Kishi said he'd be training, right?

Then after that, I can't imagine anything but the ultimate battle.

Froot you're forgetting the fourth ninja war that could take a whole arc, I say that Naruto could end by 2011. I just hope that it doesn't turn like Inuyasha.
