i don't know what to think about this chapter..... However kishi did a great job, playing with us: We don't know if anrusaku is going to happen,nor if sasuke is really goinig to die or be fought by sakura or naruto.....If the plot would continue like in previous naruto chapters,naruto is going to convince sasuke to stop this whole revenge-thing and come back,because violence is no answer in his eyes, cause it causes hate and will only be another part in the eternal circle of war and death (the whole blabla from pain...).It would also fit into the whole "naruto is saving everybody" stuff. But as far as kishi is a pretty good writer, he wouldn't make such an important thing this simple and obvious. So i think,that kishis real intent is,that sasuke is going to be killed by naruto,after sakura settled things with sasuke after a long talk about the whole past and how she and naruto were trying to get him back and how she loved him after all the pain he's caused her and everyone else. Sasuke will then tell her,that she is just getting in his way,cause all he wants is revenge.Then naruto arrives and stops sasuke from killing sakura. Now everything is prepaired for narusaku. So guys cheer up a little bit and don't let yourselve's get down by this chapter,cause nothing is going to happen as kishi is showing to us........

I'm pretty sure,that sasusaku won't happen........it just could if naruto really could convince sasuke to stop his revenge without fighting him to death, and this won't happen as explained above.

Kishi is just trying to let the whole narusaku stuff evolve (as if he hadn't had enough chapters to do so.......) slowly,which is only possible,if sakura settles things with sasuke.

So let's look forward to narusaku as we already did,when sakura used to only have eyes for sasuke.

it's obvious that sakura wasn't completley honest to Naruto, but i think,that she really loves him. She just realized as well as naruto,that she has been partially lying to herself,saying,that she doesn't care anymore about bringing sasuke back,which made her confession strange. As she realized this,she found out,that her feelings for sasuke only can be put to a rest,if she confronts him, so she can see the real grown up sasuke.
i think that kishi wanted to show us, that the relationship between sakura and naruto is deepening. this chapter shows us that from now on the friendship between the two is slowly turning into love:kishi dosn't want to make a soap opera out this manga, so he can't just let sakura confess to naruto her love after all what happened between the two,while naruto always wanted her to love him...
The reason why i think,that sakuras really loves him is, that she wouldn't tell naruto that she loves him,if she was his best friend,because she knows,that she would hurt him badly,if she told him he loved him and then told him, that she was lying to him about her feelngs.

kisame vs killerbee is going to be great!
