This cahapter has done so much in so little.
1. Made Kakashi look more bad ass then he already was.
2. Revealed Sakura's inner thoughts and her "intentions"
3. Sasuke and Sakura pairing is dead. Some still say "don't celebrate early," I am not celebrating, I am merely stating a fact. I don't see Sakura refalling for Sasuke because she learns about the uchiha massacre. Naruto went through a life not knowing a family, being shunned and hated by everyone else, but he still became a good guy. He still managed to save everyone and in essence he became what he wanted through love. If Naruto could do it, Sasuke could too...
She is not going to say "Oh his family was murdered? Well that's a different story,...come here Sasuke-kun." Past experiences never excuse present events. Does SS have a chance? If you consider the odds of a 0.0000000001% chance of happening a "chance." Not impossible, but very very very very very very VERY unlikely.
3. Sasuke and Karin? Dead. Even if Karin still loves Sasuke after this, Sasuke and Karin will not be together. In fact at this point in time, SasuKari has more of a chance than SasuSaku happening.
Only one thought comes to mind when when thinking of this chapter.....
"Please save us Kakashi you sexy sexy man"
