This is just another talk and talk chapter.  Now we have an idea what happened to Kisame and the Samehada.  Zetsu used his copycat skill and transformed into Kisame, tricking the 8th tail and his brother that they won the battle. So at least there is a surviving Akatsuki member. We all know that even when Sakura put on her best night cream, she did not get through Sasuke, but looks like Naruto is. After Naruto’s challenge, Sasuke is finally getting the eyes of his brother Itachi. There is no stopping the 4th Ninja World War.  This chapter seems to end the “Sasuke’s journey to the dark side” arc, so hopefully we will be in for more action in the coming chapters.  And yeah what a way to end the chapter by showing Kabuto’s new snakey look.

Now this is something! It’s been ages since we last saw Naruto and Sasuke fight, and now we finally see the Chidori and Rasenggan clash again. This chapter shows how much Sasuke has changed for the worse, and there is really no doubt in my mind that Sasuke will become the ultimate villain. I don’t see Naruto changing Sasuke’s mind anytime soon – so I expect to see the ultimate battle being done in the not so distant future. If you have seen the translated manga, go to page 11. Wouldn’t you want to print that picture of Naruto and Sasuke? I’d probably use online printing services to have it printed as a banner for my room .

This is another intense chapter. Kakashi saved Sakura only to find out that he is no longer a match for Sasuke and his Susano’o. Sasuke also proved that he is now part of the evil monkey squad when he tried to kill Sakura for the second time. Good thing my boy Naruto came to the rescue. Yes poor Sakura has done it again, rescued twice in just a short amount of time. So looks like an epic battle or chit chat between Sasuke and Naruto is coming up. Another “can’t wait” chapter coming up next week!
