Depends on when and if she finds them. Not that she can't, it's whether or not she's able to catch up to them before they leave.

As far as I know, Karin now hates Sasuke, she might try to avoid him from now on.

Nope, she's going in his direction. And there was absolutely nothing in the manga stating she "hated him now" Pretty much still the opposite. She has a far sight more positive feeling toward him than Sakura. Sakura thinks Sasuke is a monsterously bad person who is a direct threat to Naruto and the whole ninja world. The way Karin has been shown in her true feelings toward Sasuke is questioning on whether she should let her path and his diverge, even though she still has feelings and is concerned about him. Apparently the bond overcame the questioning feelings. I'm certainly not expecting Karin to be like she was before, despite the bond I think she'll be the most wary of Taka toward Sasuke, and I'm expecting a sort of odd vibe from Sasuke toward her. I think Kishimoto will have Sasuke swing back toward the hint of attraction toward her, especially now that he knows she's an Uzumaki.

I will remind people that I'm not a sasukar shipper, I'm just making an educated guess based on what Kishimoto has done in the manga.

Thatd be my guess as well. She will be highly wary of him and cautious.

Though Ill lay a bet she acts on the outside like nothing happened at all, even plays up the fangirly angle a little. But Karins very intelligent and very patient, what her specific actions and plan are Im not yet certian of.

Also to clarify something someone prior mentioned. Karin was never loyal to Orochimaru, she was always loyal to Sasuke in her own way. Her databook entries confirm this. Also im skeptical Sakura would be brought up as a topic of conversation save as a passing mention if anything.

Someone posted this theory at MH:

I think sasuke will reason the whole thing like this: Konoha did kill his clan but considering the risk it represented to the world and that even according to what he saw through itachi all that could be done was done to deal with things in another way was done he will see what itachi was aiming for here. He will actually see the big picture shisui and itachi were going for. Now, if he sees this then he will see war at large as the issue rather than just an uchiha vs senju thing, what went on here was an entire history of mistakes on both sides which continually resulted in wars. In this regard it will make sense to stop the fighting completely rather than continue fighting pointlessly. This is why the moons eye plan would appeal to him. Of course, he wouldn't let tobi do everything himself. Sasuke will attempt to take over and use his own genjutsu to complete the plan, he wouldn't give control of the world over to tobi, who helped kill his clan, or madara, someone who could be indirectly responsible for everything to a great degree.

It makes sense, if you think about it. If Kishi really intends for Sasuke to be the final villain, then this route seems to be the most likely.

^ I like that theory a lot. It establishes Sasuke as the villain, but one with purpose. The beauty of it is that the final fight of Naruto vs Sasuke would also represent a clash of ideas on how to solve the chaos that envelops the ninja world:

Peace through hard work (Naruto) vs Peace through forced illusions (Sasuke)

[Don-kun]

Kishi please make it happen.

A good theory because it's the closest thing Kishimoto could do to splitting the difference. It allows Sasuke to do something that would clearly place him in direct conflict with Naruto, but without having him stomp all over Itachi's sarcifice by ending the lives he sought to protect. Permanent mindless servitude is not what Itachi would have wanted, but the village and it's people will still be alive. Sasuke can't truly have both, but he could easily convince himself that this would be good enough.

I'm not sure how much I like from a personal preference standpoint, but it's a nice idea as to what may happen.

The only problem to me is, it lacks.......originality, for lack of a better word for Sasuke's development. Although it is pretty much the most possible route his character is heading to. Basically, it would just make Sasuke a Tobi V2. So, I'm not completely sold on it.

Neither is destroying Konoha. Tobi attempted it and Madara sought it.

Well, I find it amusing to see all these "cheaters" are about to get owned by Naruto, who is genuine. When I say cheaters, I mean that they have to steal eyes/body in order to obtain the final form (RS). Tobi has one eye of Rinnegan and think he's unstoppable. Madara will soon get that taste just because he knows has Senju body to work with. Naruto is genuine and it happens that he's possibly the new coming of god. That's just me, but I like Naruto put them in place. It helps that they're Uchiha and bout to get schooled by Naruto.

i dont think naruto will fight Edo Madara it's too much for him.
he already used a considerably amount of chakra to beat those bijuus and tobi is going to summon ten tails.

I still think the kages will beat madara, they made a promise to naruto i think they will hold their ground.

But how? He's currently invincible. If you cut him in pieces, no harm, if you burn him, he'll only heal himself. I am thinking that only someone who's more than human(Tobi) can defeat Madara. Maybe the'll go against eachother, heck they are arrogant and only following themselves. Tobi is probably more than one identity, Zetsu and maybe an Uchiha.

Well, right now, Tobi is pretty busy, and maybe exhausted. I don't know how he'll get over to Madara, or how they'll meet. It's a weak theory, you know. But I guess you need a really powerful ninja that can seal Madara with the Death God or something. (unavailable?)

But I don't think the Kage's can defeat Madara alone, they're already reached their limits. They can't become anymore powerful than now. Maybe Sasuke comes into the picture.

I mean he will come up top in the end. Not saying that he will fight him but the fact that these villains have ways to gain power by undergoing "shortcut." Naruto gone through hell and now hes about to become the new sage and it's all genuine. I know people are like tired of uchiha. Well I'm only tired of not seeing naruto since he's in the most interesting scenario. To be honest, I'm okay with the situation, because they're hyped to be the strongest and let's not forget, they all have rinnegan (except sasuke but he didn't do anything). I think at this point, it's best to read in a volume because weekly make it feel like forever. When you recap it, it is not as brutal.

Anyway, next couple of weeks should be interesting. Besides, we saw how much naruto kicks ass. So it's all good.

I suppose so...

next chapter will probably be out soon.... it seems quite anti climatic

With how fast they've been coming out the next chapter will probably be out in about 24-27 hours.

actually because Jump is released early this week (on Saturday instead of next Monday) I have seen the raws already and I am not impressed

[Kuraudo]

Hmm? Okay... To next one.
