And to debunk the arguement that was on the last page, Sasuke isn't looking at Sakura, he's looking towards the reader, just like Naruto and Sakura are.

Something else that can used as evidence is establishing Sasuke's role as a villain; his colour scheme, black and purple (moreso the purple). Purple is considered in East Asian cultures like Japan and China to be the colour of death. Antagonists in anime series with superpowers and/or supernatural themes are popularly depicted with a dark purple aura. Sasuke's Susano'o is violet in colour.

Aaah, I am sooo curious about Sakura's costume and swooord! What could they possibly mean!

In china, black and white are associated with death.

This explains how I'm feeling right now:


That was beautiful. The hand holding was just to transfer chakra, like we all thought it was.
There wasn't any Sakura, but that color spread shows that Kishimoto hasn't forgotten about her, and still regards her as his heroine. Sorry, Hinata! Your feet are just too small to fill those shoes.

Ah I see! That's why! I was wondering why Sakura's costume was white. But come to think of it Sasuke is purple, like his snake summons, Naruto is green, like his toad summons. So probably her costume is referring to her animal summon, which is most probably a slug.

Another thing I'm wondering is Naruto has his uzumaki symbol, Sasuke has his fan symbol, where is Sakura's symbol? I thought it was a circle, or could it be that her symbol is actually a cherry blossom flower? Got to admit cherry blossom fits the family name "Haruno"(=of spring) more.

And am I the only one wanting to see a new manga from Kishi where Naruto, Sasuke, Sakura are warriors like the cover page? Looks totally awesome!

haruno's symbol is a maru, a circle... Maybe the symbol is inside of the blossom flowers? In each blossom flower there's a circle which is similar to the haruno's symbol, a maru..

btw we know that Sakura isn't from a true clan... His parents are pretty.. normale ones..

1st-nope. IMO it's a sad smile, like "how could I be so foolish"

2rd-2nd

3rd-you forget that if Sasuke dies, naruto will have THAT memory forever in his wound, the memory of failing to bring him back.

4th-I'm wondering what the kages could bring into the fight that would aid the shinobi alliance.

5th- fingers crossed.

at 5 : i think sakura will became a catalys for naruto tnj obito. just like "the book" to nagato

Excellent chapter, but I have to admit I am more taken with the cover compared to the chapter. XD

At the beinning when I saw Sasuke's face, I was about to freak out and throw my computer out of my first floor window *not really*. How could Kishi just switch to Sasuke like that! Luckily, that was not the case and all is well. XD He trolled me within the first few pages, wow.

I have a feeling we'll see Naruto give chakra to everyone else and Sakura next chapter. She'll probably be last afterall.

I was a bit... disappointed with Ino? Her love for Sasuke is not positive. But I guess that's what she was saying, her love is not positive her her father probably wanted. But then, her father mentions her positive love for her friends, and thats what he's proud of.

It actually seemed like a real smile to me.

If this series ends in sasuino, I will be almost as unhappy as sasusaku.

well, we can be sure that ino's love for Sasuke is certainly more positive than that's sakura for him....

that's because she didn't know what sasuke become, unlike sakura and karin

I soo want to see NH fans faces right now

The chapter was great and, finally, I saw InoShikaCho attack. Lee's reaction was expected but what I'm surprised about is Tenten's reaction, yes she's sad but Kishi showed us her concern to Lee, and as expected, there was some Hinata moments with her giving an attack to the Juubi.

Ino' s and Shikamaru's falshback of their fathers and the talk with them was great. I likes this part a lot.

The colored page of the Heroes and Heroines was beautiful. It shows that Kishi is emphasizing on them, the Heroes and Heroines XD

[Chucky-kun]

Didn't naruto and Sakura tell them about what happened after they got back to konoha?

[ramenanmitsu]

Unfortunately there is no evidence to support that Sakura has learned Slug summon. So for now I am going to infer that she has not learned it until proven otherwise.

It would also be more surprising that no one noticed the puff of smoke and the fact that she is gone?

Why is there a need for you to go all evidence or proof? I just listed that idea as one of the hundreds and thousands of possibilities out there. No need to try to act like L to just a mere daydream

And btw, just because there wasn't a panel of Sakura learning the slug summon it's still possible that she has it. It might appear suddenly, like how Sasuke summoned the hawk and the snake. Again, I'm just talking about possibilities.

The same goes for the lack of puff of smoke. It might just be shown later that she has indeed reverse summoned, without showing the process. Naruto might ask towards Kakashi, "Where did Sakura go?" and Kakashi may reply, "To her master's place" and that may be all the confirmation we need. Again just one of the hundreds of possibilities out there.

I can't wait to see Naruto tap Sakura next chapter, in every sense of the word.

Oh I'm with you on that, IMO sasuke doesn't really deserve to be with anyone, but all im saying is anything is possible at this point... I honestly don't know how Ino can say she is in "love" with sasuke, she barely knew the guy...

I can't wait to see Naruto tap Sakura next chapter, in every sense of the word.

Where do you think she is right now? He obviously had a clone take her to be alone with for a while

what has been tapped, cannot be untapped.

@rocci, but Ino definitely heard about it, after all they were talking about how naruto could've just taken Sasuke there and then.

1st: It seems that she's questioning about Sasuke. The "right ?" part proved it.

2nd: Seems that she's going to show up in the upcoming chapters for now.

3rd: No, I don't think so.

4th: Hopefully and I also want to see Tsunade's situation and what is happening with her.

5th: I can see that too from her disappearance in this chapter.
