Wow just when we think Sasuke can't get any more crazy, he pulls another epic evil laugh of doom panel out of his hat!

I'm sooo relieved how this chapter turned out. I mean I wasn't totally freaking out about the whole possilble Sasuke/Sakura stuff, but to me this was written perfectly. Everything is coming full circle (now if only Naruto could show up!)

And yay! Now we know that SasuSaku is DEAD. I mean really, I don't see any hope of this pairing and we now know that Sakura has been over him for a long while. And I love Kakashi Put Sasuke in his place!

Even though we've had way too many Sasuke fights, I'm gonna forgive Kishi since Kakashi is involved. Not sure if Kakashi can actually beat him as of now unless he has some awesome new justus he hasn't shown anyone- since Sasuke gets one with every new fight

Overall this is definitely one of the best chapters we've had in a good while

So I just read this chap and all I can say is this: I honestly don't think this is anything to worry about at all.

I mean we all figured they'd meet up, and Sakura knows she can't fight him one on one. So she does the logical thing: tries to join him, and eventually earn his trust to kill him/stop him however she has to.

I seriously doubt it's gonna be any romantic obligation or anything like thatxD I mean we've had all this Narusaku development for so long-it just wouldn't make sense for Sakura to suddenly forget about Naruto and turn all fangirly for Sasuke again. Not to mention majorly OOC. We know that she truly cares for Naruto-most recently her "confession" when she says sorry to him(even the confession part was somewhat fake you can't deny there's feelings there and she meant it when she said sorry) and when she decides to go after Sasuke herself. It wasn't because she "had to see her true love again", it was because she wants to protect Naruto and the village. And we know that yes, she does still care for Sasuke-but we know she wants to stop him from hurting everyone, especially Naruto. She is doing this for the village's sake, but mostly for Naruto, IMO.

As for Sasuke accepting her offer,I think two things could happen here.One- He accepts. He's in bad shape and needs a good medic ninja, so makes sense to me.It'll be interesting storywise, and it makes me wonder how she's gonna follow through with her mission.

On the other hand, if he doesn't accept her offer I think a fight will ensue between the two. Either way, I think Naruto will also catch up to them and either try to stop Sakura or help her fight, depending on how the story goes.

Either way I can't wait to see the next chappie! And hang in there NaruSaku fans, I think we'll get some awesome NaruSaku moments soon!

I personally won't believe anything until I see it in the manga itself

To me it wouldn't make sense to have NaruSaku development all this time, only to have it end in NaruHina or SasuSaku. I still think NaruSaku will happan, it just may take longer than we thought. Even if she does still love Sasuke, there's no denying she has more than "just friends" feelings for Naruto,love or not.

And hmm I wonder what he's gonna do with Kakashi? Let's hope he doesn't try to kill him off again or something.

Gah Itachi and Jiraya make me Especially after you learn the truth about Itachi.

Naruto's attitude change is really dragging me down. All the things he's known for (his confidence, spirit, determination) are being thrown out the window. I know he has a lot going on, but really, passing out and all the dramatics? That's not like him at all. Normally he just gets upset, thinks about it, and then finds the will to do something about it. I want funny, confident Naruto back

This chapter does look cool, but I wanna see more of what's gonna happan to Sakura and co. I hope they meet up soon and we get some interesting fights
