maybe sasuke wants to be a sort of dictator of konoha, like danzou

[TouKen4Life3g]

I think it was smart to have Sakura to heal and stay behind because if Sasuke turns heel here, she will witness the turn and the drama between him and Naruto. Not to mention, since they are best friends/main piece of the story, it's fitting that Naruto and Sasuke is the only to stand by side-to-side. In short, no place for SS (maybe ever) and NS already got a good luck wish, so now, it's time for possible Naruto/Sasuke drama.

[Mistraal]

here's to hoping Kishi makes her play a more active role in the fight against the Juubi.

I want her to take a more active role in kicking Sasuke's ass..

[Hiraishin]

Perhaps, but given the fact that Madara seems to know more about the technique despite no real reason why he would know, why couldn't Tobirama do the same? This is one thing I find so startling where the creator of the technique barely knows anything about the technique, but people who are outside the know seem to know everything about.
Why are all villains granted with all this infinite knowledge, but the good guys know nothing? Can't we have like one smart hero for once? A hero who knows the ins and outs of things like Madara can.

True that. Tobirama seems like a smart person, how did Madara and all these other people figure things out about his technique that he himself didn't know?

Where exactly is Madara in all of this? Is he still just loafing about as one of the two critical components to his objectives is being incinerated before his eyes? Even if he's incapable of executing the genjutsu or sealing the Jubi inside of himself the fact that it has been expending such large amounts of chakra for so long must be a concern. What exactly is going to prevent Sasuke from attempting to assume control of the Jubi for his own ulterior purposes?

Keep in mind that Tobi's original intention was to synchronise Gedo Mazo with him (presumably it's the same procedure that Nagato, Tobi, and Madara underwent to control it). If Sasuke is aware on how to manipulate it then he could potentially become a very dangerous threat to everyone on that battlefield. Or perhaps his motivations involve favouring Madara in order to bring about the illusion world where he is automatically designated as the Hokage. It is one possible method that he could use to forcefully acquire the position. That is if he is even concerned with acquiring it in the first place.

Seriously though, what is up with Madara? He's just sitting there, waiting for Hashirama to get unoccupied while the key to his plans is being destroyed? Hashirama sure can rile him up.

And I'm beginning to think Sasuke declaring his desire to be Hokage was just a front. What I wonder is if Sasuke is even strong enough to take control of the Juubi...

[Nath0man]

I think Sakura is just crying tears of joy... before she started crying she looked happy.

 

I don't think the last page has to do with her crying. I think that face means she's suspicious of Sasuke.

Why push the idea for Hokage only for it to be a front? I'm really not buying that. I think he does have interest in the Hokage spot to be honest. It's just interesting to see what lengths he'd go for this particular spot. He doesn't give a damn what others think of him going for such a position. 

[TouKen4Life3g]

I am convinced that Sakura's tears is about the war is finally over or again, the main problem besides the others (Madara and Obito) is finally over. But her face changed completely because of Sasuke. Sad, because it really feels like SK do got more advantage but...........I digress.

[T XD]

Good or bad, I'm really wondering if Sasuke has any interest in the Ten Tails when it comes to becoming Hokage. Another I'm wondering is if even though he doesn't care what anyone thinks, why would he try to rule over Konoha with an iron fist considering he's heard what happened with Madara? I seriously doubt he'd follow in his footsteps when it comes to being the Hokage. Sure, his way of running things may be a bit different from Naruto, but I can't wrap my head around him wanting the Ten Tails, and thus ruling Konoha with an iron fist, and thus ruling over the Ninja World completely when you think about it. Who'd be able to stop him? 

 

Meh, I'm done thinking about it for now. lol 

I really don't know for now whether he wants to control the Juubi or not for sure. While it's very possible, like you said, he doesn't care what anyone thinks of him being Hokage, which is why I think it will all turn out in the Naruto vs Sasuke battle. Everything is resolved and cleared here regarding Sasuke. Sasuke will reveal his true self at the end of this battle.

 

Somehow, there's another thought in my head that maybe Sasuke wants to host the juubi or control it cause he wants to be able to fight well against Naruto. Sasuke knows Naruto won't step aside for him being Hokage.

 

 

Despite the riddles Kishi presented in this chapter that are bringing into question what certain characters' intentions actually are it's almost entirely unlikely that Orochimaru would assist Madara in creating what amounts to him being deprived of his goal of becoming as powerful as the Sot6P Even if Sasuke begins to fight alongside Madara I sincerely doubt Orochimaru would allow their plans to come to fruition like that. He'll assist the alliance in defeating Madara and Sasuke but will ultimately turn against them as well.

 

As for Madara if Sasuke attempts to acquire control of the Jubi then would he not intervene to prevent this child from destroying his lifelong desires? Yes, he wants to fight against Hashirama but as of yet his intention to execute the Moon's Eye Plan has not been placed in any significant jeopardy from his perspective it seems.

I don't think at all that Orochimaru or Sasuke would stand with or assist Madara. And, yes, Madara's plan is still on the table which the story will turn to it in the future chapters.

 

The thing is that, the situations right now need to be a bit more clear which is why I'm waiting for the upcoming chapters. There's Madara, there are Sasuke and Orochimaru plans, there's the Juubi if it's still alive or not which I think it's still is. So many directions which Kishi can continue his manga with.

I think Sakura's tears have to do with both Naruto and Sasuke working together to be honest. When it comes to the last panel of her. it could be suspicion since she did question his arrival before, but who knows. I don't think her suspicions are as huge as people are suggesting considering she was just genuinely smiling a couple of pages back. 

[Dkey]

Yup...Given the triad concept in Narutoverse, she tried 2 times to engage Sasuke, however, she failed Now, the third times a luck, as they say ;)

dap a treia oara e cu noroc.Third time's the charm.

we have 2 foreshadows. First as you said neo sannin fight like in the Tsunade arc or even better a Sakura menma fight like in rtn.

Sasuke gaining control of the Ten Tails will likely put a large gap between he and Naruto when it comes to overall strength/power. Since it's likely that the gift he'll be receiving is in fact the other half of the nine tails chakra, I wonder where Sasuke's boost will come from. 

 

As for the bolded, I feel the same. I'll just wait for more chapters because for me, it's pretty foggy right now. LOL

Yes I agree the reason her crying those tears are of joy because she finally feels like she's part of team seven. She's not on the side lines anymore, she's actually helping fighting with her team side by side. That's the feeling of acknowledgement like she's finally accepting herself as a full team member that strong character development right there. As for Sasuke I honestly don't know whether he's planning to betray Naruto or trying to find a way to make everyone betray Naruto so he gets the position of Hokage and Orochimaru must be plotting something he is a snake after all.

[T XD]

Sakura's tears was of joy for seeing Naruto and Sasuke doing a combo attack. Something that it was a long time since it's been and the other teams was feeling excited to see the attack too like we see in this chapter.

 

The last panel, I think it's her suspicion of Sasuke cause it's related to Sai's suspicion as well.

Or he doesn't actually want to be the Hokage, and he lied to gain their trust.

Yup yup, though I don't think he plans on having everyone betray Naruto. That's pretty much impossible considering his position in Konoha as the Hero pretty much. If anything, he plans to become Hokage regardless of anyone says but he makes it seem as though it's easier than it actually is... There's no telling how he's gonna come about gaining that position, but i definitely don't feel as though he plans on having anyone betray Naruto.

I think Sasuke's boost either will be a new power up or being the Juubi's host.

[TouKen4Life3g]

Before I go to sleep (it's almost 6 am!), I want to say few words.

 

First, I remember people tell me Sasuke is normal and Juugo was about seeing him enjoying himself with the alliance. WRONG. Now we know the whole point is the suspicious of Sasuke and the question is, will we get it in this volume? Maybe.

 

Lastly, I remember something. When it comes to overjoy victory, there's always a twist to follow. This one got that feeling with all rookies saying "This is it!" I remember Eyeshield 21 doing this and guess what, a twist happens and the guy got stop before making a touchdown. Shin Mazinger Z, the good guy won the battle, but a new and even more sinister evil unleashed to the point the overconfidence character admits defeat and when something like that happens, you know it's game over. In other words, yeah, it's highly possible that Kishi is following this format.

[Sakamaki Izayoi]

Well he didnt gain her trust, i think she knew it, her reaction was like i knew it would happen.
She had the feeling that something was wrong on 631 but put it aside because they had to fight, now we get this panel.
