Great chapter. I was quite sure that Sakura's seal would still be intact. Since she spent the last three years gathering chakra for the jutsu, it would have made no sense for it to be released off screen. That would be an insult to Sakura, and from Kishimoto himself, no less... like saying she spent three years on the technique only for it to turn out completely useless. Trust me people: if and when Sakura releases the seal, Kishimoto will highlight the moment.
It's nice to see that the Kage are back. I'm looking forward to seeing what they'll do. And Karin! You weird, crazy girl. You're back and you freak me out! 
I really hope that Sasuke doesn't change his mind about fighting/killing Naruto, just because he got to see Naruto's "heart". Naruto vs. Sasuke should happen before the end! I've been waiting for that last confrontation ever since shippuden started.
I have a feeling that Shikamaru will survive. Anyone else see a pattern here? Neji was the first friend of Naruto's to die on battlefield. It caused him to despair and he almost gave up. Then Hinata did her thing. Rookie 9's faith was restored. Now Shikamaru is about to die. Although we get to see both Neji's and Shika's last moments, the atmosphere and Naruto's way of handling the situation are completely different. Naruto is enraged and continues to fight. And Sakura (or Karin) should be able to save Shikamaru. There is no need for him to die, I think.
I wish for Naruto's feelings concerning Sakura to be mentioned (this would be as good a chance as any), but I guess it's not too likely to happen in this volume.
But I finally know what I want to see! Hashirama can have Madara to himself. I want Naruto and Sasuke to take on Obito...while Sakura releases her seal and punches God Tree to splinters. Do it Kishi! Make Team 7 save the world 
And the Kage can just hang out in the background...yeah.
Nah, who am I kidding? It won't happen...*sob*
