That was another chapter that just proved that:

A) Naruto and Sakura, while trying to be determined can still be adorable.
B) Stealth plans=Plot Twist/Knew it was too easy
C) Sasuke is a self-absorbed nin with a one tracked mind

I got through on the first try, I have to say Sakura has taken a step (arguable the size) forward. As for Karin the only funny thing I could be seeing is the fact of comparisons to part I Sakura that she would argue with her about Naruto on the way home while he's sick, but we have Kiba and the others still asleep in the woods.

Zetsu is also proving himself to be a useful character, dopplegangers down to the chakra, split personalities, stealth, he's something.

I'm still going with we don't get back to Team 7 until chapters are in the 490's.

Final point: Kabutomaru didn't look as dumb as I thought, even though he's a walking 1980's tribute band.

[ShippudenGirl]

*Cough* I think Sakura's gonna be the one to beat Kabutomaru *cough* Hm? You say something? xD Oh you think Sakura's gonna beat up Kabutomaru? Me too! Kishimoto stated that Sakura's gonna be a heroine, why not prove it that way? Maybe a team battle, hm? That'd be epic ._.

I'm pretty sure Sakura couldn't take on Kisame, no offense. >.> Pff... Raikage better kick his fish tail, I'd miss Bee if he was killed or eight-tails "extracted"... M'kay then.

[dfammer]

Really not a bad chapter it gives out lot's of info it was just not all that exciting. But it will lead to more development type scenes pretty soon. Obviously Sasuke says he wants to kill Naruto and Madara won't let that happen. Also people settle down about Sakura she will get stronger as the story progresses and I think this chapter signals to that.

What I thought was cool was Karin. She really seemed interested in Naruto and I assume they will have some sort of talk as she obviously has heard of Naruto before. I guess she is now part of the Naruto fan club. Kisame is not dead.....Duh it seemed to easy and quick. It's cool to see Bee and company team back. Also it is obvious Zetsu is not as weak as is being let on. I don't see him as the kind of person to be like Karin and only be used all the time. Kabuto is incredibly determined isnt he o_O

All the girls that show up in the manga and the anime and movies all have a thing for Naruto,I would love to see jealous Sakura,staring daggers at Karin or Hinata:)

Kisame's alive?... YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY =D *someone slaps me*
Seriously, I didn't want Kisame to die yet! He's too awesome for that! lol
As for Zetsu... I think he might infiltrate the Leaf in order to get to Naruto. Kisame's on Bee's tail (quite literally XD) so what of the 9 tailed jinchuuriki? I don't think Zetsu will move in on Naruto for a while, but I think he'll take the form of someone else and kill them, then stick with the leaf to report data to Madara on what's happening. Kisame will take care of Bee (or it's planned as so) and once Madara has all the other 8 jinchuuriki they'll move in on number 9 with Zetsu making reports to them telling them the Leaf's moves. Just a theory *shrugs*

[KungFuTruffle]

I doubt Sakura could beat Kabuto. She's strong, sure, but Kabuto was already on the same level as Kakashi in Part 1. He's gotten Orochimaru's powers since then. There's no real way she'd be a match for him.

However, that doesn't mean Sakura won't take down another Akatsuki member. With all this talk about Zetsu not being as strong as the other enemies left, and Sakura not being as strong as the other good guys, it's a good bet those two will fight.

Edit: Removed some misinformation.

[FullmetalNinja25]

This was a good Chapter though I'm disappointed we didn't get Naruto vs. Sasuke 2 afterall Kishi is a ****ing tease.

[pinkheartsyellowstars]

Oh, one thing: You guys need to learn how to use Japanese suffixes correctly. The Kun suffix doesn't mean anything as far as romance goes. It's a polite way of referring to those around you, the same as San.

Oh, I was just surprised.

[ShippudenGirl]

Ewww the only problem with Zetsu vs. Sakura would be he EATS people, and didn't he say in this chapters it's time to feed-.... Oh my god O.O... *Thinks is the possibility if-* Nahh.

He-he, I still think that they should take Kabutomaru down as a team. *pouts like child*

-yawn beddy-bye soon x)

[AchikaMiyu]

Cute and comedic scene between Naruto and Sakura. Though I'm sad that Sakura didn't administer the antidote the way I wanted her to. I didn't mind her speech entrusting the hopes of Team 7 to Naruto and Sasuke. Naruto's bond with Sasuke is completely different from his bond with Sakura or even Sakura's bond with Sasuke. For Sasuke, it'll almost be like fighting Itachi all over again because they were bonded like brothers. It's something that Sakura can respect. Also, to me it seemed like she was also telling herself that she has a lot more to do to grow-up and mature mentally in order to be ready to help either support them after the battle or even during. I personally would like to see Naruto and Sakura team up against Sasuke, but as things stand now, Naruto and Sasuke will be going at it alone.

I hope that Kisame's hiding in the Sameheda doesn't ruin the chances of Sameheda/Killa Bee. Because Sameheda REALLY REALLY LOVES YOU! (a la Charlie the Unicorn) Man I hope I'm not the only one who thought that.

But on a more serious note about it, I'm not surprised that Kisame's not dead yet. It would seem a little off to me if in the final stages of the manga there were still two biju left to be captured. If and when they capture Killer Bee, it will reshift the final focus to Naruto. Because I believe that we are going to see the giant biju statue be used somehow and Madara is going to try and summon the Juubi. That can't happen with two biju running around, but if Naruto were the last one left, then things would shift towards the extraction and eventual summoning.

Just my thoughts.

Well I think that Sakura's biggest advantage has always been that she seems weaker then lots of people. Once you consider who Sasori was you really could not see her winning. He was an opponent that physically could not be hurt and her attack is all physical. He was part of a group of people that could be considered Kage level fighters. She really is like Naruto in the idea that she is put into the plot to overcome things as she progresses.

[ciardha]

It might not effect Sasuke, but it seems super effective on her XD;;

And moreso all the time- loving him with all her heart has basically made her able to be completely swayed by his "talk no jutsu". Heh, I knew he could charm her into anything with his words, too bad it wasn't some sort of romantic thing. Oh well, maybe since he's been told, by both Sakura and Sai, that Sakura is in love with him maybe he'll actually start being more open with his romantic feelings for her.

Are you refering to your one-shot?

Anyways, this is a good chapter. Though looks like Killer Bee Vs. Kisame part 2 is coming and hopefully, Omoi, Karui and Samui will be part of the action because they need some. Kabutomaru is going to pull something crazy soon? Hmm I wonder we will see some new characters (villians?)...

Yes! Remember he had to use puppets that he took a whole country out with to try to beat up an old lady and 16-year-old girl. Sakura's suppose to surpass Tsunade, she isn't as weak as people see her to be; she also could have new tech. she is a genjutsu type and almost has perfect chakra control. I'm sure she'd be fine with somone helping her, not to major so she gets the spotlight. Though, kinda hard to see her fighting someone without Kakashi or Naruto

Hope to see epic Kisame vs. Bee and/or Raikage fight; personally I love when Raikage fights, if you think about it he gotta punch, like Sakura does, he-he... And you said Sakura couldn't beat-up Sasuke if she tried

Oh, yeah... Night!

I don't think it will happen that way just because you have to consider that Hinata did confess her love for Naruto in mid battle she basically was willing to give her life for Naruto. Sakura traveled all the way to him and confessed her love to Naruto and went out to kill Sasuke even risking her own life. There is going to have to be some sort of trigger that will make Naruto show romantic feelings back and it will be incredibly dramatic I'm sure.

Yep you're right I did. But that's because I could not see them fighting at this point. Really it's kind of like Naruto said only he will be fighting Sasuke. If Sakura ever did fight Sasuke she would either be destroyed incredibly quickly or do incredibly well. But I think Kishi wants it to seem like nobody else can fight Sasuke I don't see him throwing Sakura into some fight to be destroyed but she cannot be the one to beat Sasuke so you're not left with much =)

Yeah, and well we know that he still likes Sakura. He probably won't pursue her anytime soon because bringing Sasuke back is his top priority. Much in the same way he feels he can't be hokage if he can't save his best friend, is the reasoning he used with Sai concerning Sakura. He most likely still believes Sakura likes Sasuke (even though we just saw her go out to kill him), and probably thinks once he brings Sasuke back she will want to be with Sasuke. I mean this is Naruto we are talking about, and hes a little dense, thats just him.

This was a pretty good chapter overall and I did love the scene between Naruto and Sakura, very cute, but now it's back to action as we get to see what the other characters have been up to.

I don't think it would work for him. How could he possibly hide and read his books with her? I think she'd always just detect him.
