What abut this chapter's structure? Maybe we'll just continue to get one or two pages of Sasuke per chapter.

I'm pretty sure this week's chapter will be moved to Sasuke, or Sakura if she did go to the kages (like a few of our members here have been predicting).

I sadly say that's a pretty stupid prediction....

Here's hoping that was just an unfortunate choice of words, and not intended to be as insulting as it comes across.

An unreasonable prediction would be that Madara bloomed into a flower and got absorbed by the earth. That's a "stupid" prediction; it just wouldn't seem right for that to happen.

LOL I'd pay cash money to see that.

That is exactly what I want to happen.

[FoolishYoungling]

That is exactly what I want to happen.

Why? I want to know where they are going. Who is this person/thing that knows everything. How will he/she/it affect Sasuke and the rest of the series? Is it someone we already know? The suspense is killing me.

How is that considered stupid? Those two predictions could very well happen. Maybe you're saying that because we've been so "dissapointed" from the lack of Sakura that we've ruled out that prediction.

Sorry, I wasn't thinking clearly as I was busying typing something completely unrelated to this

I meant I don't care for that theory much as there too many plot holes that likely would never be solved. And she said it herself that next time Naruto and her would fight together.... that can't really happen miles away from the battlefield

Really poor choice of words at the time... I meant I don't particularly care for the theory is all It sorta goes against her staying and fighting with Naruto

Must the two things be mutually exclusive? What I mean is... what if Sakura went to the Kage, gets some kind of power-up from Tsunade, is able to be with her when she dies, then returns to the main battlefield with the surviving Kage? Would that not be good enough? Would that not give Sakura some development AND give her a chance to fight with Naruto?

Does she necessarily have to fight alongside Naruto in this particular part of the battle? You don't think there's going to be any other chances?

The suspense of "where is sakura" is killing me more, I want to know where she is way more then where sasuke is, if I see sakura then I won't mind it switching to sasuke.

That's acceptable, but... part of me feels like it's sort of a free gift. Yeah I know that's really the only way Sasuke get's his power ups, but that's cause he's a (pseudo) villain with haxy eyes. Sakura being the heroin, although she's entitled to a power up by now, makes me feel she needs to earn it through training like Naruto. I don't know though, that's just my look at it. Anythings possible at this point and I'm just gonna have to suck it up and accept it

Well, nothing's been proven out yet, it's all just speculation to pass the time.

At this point, if Sakura got a power-up I personally wouldn't care how it happened. It's not as if Kishimoto has been a stickler for laying the groundwork before he gives other characters power-ups, or other story details. If he does do an asspull for Sakura it might be annoying -- an asspull is an asspull, after all -- but if any character is going to benefit from one I'd want it to be her. Just saying.

Like a lot of others, I really miss Sakura and want to see her get some significant panel time. I want something awesome to happen with her so then maybe we'll see Naruto's starry-eyed expression when he says, "Sakura-chan -- you're great!!!" Like he did when she healed Kankuro.

I couldn't agree with you more on that.

Thing is with this is that she hasn't been in a real battle since Sasori so IMO, it wouldn't be an asspull if she got a power up at all. It's also dependent on what type of power up she has. We've been shown that she's learned how to make poisons and sleeping gas and that happened off panel. There's a chance that she's learned a new jutsu or two off panel as well but she hasn't been able to use them as of yet.

The only character that actually goes through training as of now on panel is Naruto.

EDIT:

Mangareader

I actually understand where you're coming from with that. I too want her to have something that she's earned that's why I'm hoping she's already learned a new technique already. Though I wouldn't mind her gaining something from Tsunade though. Whatever the case she's still gonna do damage. If she's powered up by Naruto, her punches are gonna send targets flying at the speed of sound. LMAO I'm exaggerating but we know it's gonna be extremely powerful. If she's with the kages, she'll get development from Tsunade, and likely a new move. Not too bad, but as i've said before, hopefully she already has something.

Hey, if she learns something through flashback, I'm all for it. If it's a free gift, well I admit she had it coming now for a while. Either way I'm never gonna hate her development

I'm sure Tsunade taught her a couple of jutsu aside from medical ninjutsu, a power up must be one of them

Question is, what would be an ideal power up for Sakura. It's likely that it'll once again revolve around her chakra control as well...

[sushi.]

Sakura's next powerup must in my opinion be either Genjutsu or Slug summoning.

Genjutsu was foreshadowed since part 1, and I think that Kishi should've developed those abilities sooner. Kakashi even said that he had trained Sakura in Genjutsu back in the chuunin exams. She may have some Genjutsu skills, but Kishi has not given her time to show them. She just needs the right opponent.

I don't know that she will get one at this late stage, but if she does I think I'd pass on both of those. Summoning, while not completely irrelevant has already seen its best days as a power-up. If you're looking for a battle-type powerup she'd still be a step or two behind even with this.

As for Genjustu, I know why people hang on this: Kishimoto dropping that Part 1 thread. But really, when all your remaining opponents use the Sharingan, how useful will this be? I wonder if it would even be useful against a sensory type like Karin. That leaves Suigetsu and Juugo. Her taking on the cannon fodder of Team Not Seven. Meh. No thanks.

[T XD]

Can Tsunade give Sakura part of her powers like the slug summoning or something else even if she hadn't learned it ? Would it be like how Itachi gave Sasuke before he died, part of his power when he touched Sasuke's forehead ?

Somewhat probably, I see Sakura getting a power up only if she was with Tsunade. Unless, there's flashback of how she learned it, but that somewhat unlikely.
