I believe Juugo was shown arriving with Sasuke. Where Orochimaru and Suigetsu scampered off to is anyone's guess.

I think Karin isn't there either...Me thinks perhaps a certain Snake Sannin and Sensor went to patch up the five beat to shit Kage.

juugo was shown arriving, didn't see anyone else.

The main thing that bothers me about this chapter was Naruto saying that Sakura was his girlfriend...

Since I'm a hardcore Hinata/Naruto shipper.

As a fellow hardcore Naruto/Hinata shipper, I'm honestly hoping that Naruto was playing the super dense idiot and meant it as Sakura being his friend who happens to be a girl; a female friend and not romantic partner.

I hope. Otherwise Kishimoto just trolled us Naruto/Hinata shippers hardcore.

Also, isn't Karin still in the Konoha Prison? Sure it showed her pulling lock pick tools from a picture of Sasuke (what the hell were the guards thinking of letting a ninja have anything that could be used as a tool or weapon in the first place?) but I can't recall if it was ever shown her escaping.

EDIT: Nevermind, I'm an idiot. I remember it did show her regrouping with Sasuke and gang. *facepalm*

Perhaps she has some sort of seal thing like Tsunade, only not in such a blatantly obvious area like the forehead?

So, turns out Sakura has managed the seal. This makes her the better of Tsunade's two apprentices, even though Shizune has been at it much longer.

Main character status must be alot of fun.

Ah, main character status. Something that I wish we had a way to implement into the game for the players when they wish to do something awesome like that. Personally, I just call it Gm fluff in game, and it usually only happens without going pear shaped once in a blue moon.

Prodigy to Paragon covers those moments of epic without being level 21 and higher. I suggest investing, if you haven't already.

Well, I called it. Wish it hadn't been such an obvious thing to call though. Also, Sasuke's face-turn is way to hard and fast. Going from vowing to burn the village to the ground to vowing to become it's leader...yeah, no. As much as I like Sasuke (say what you will about the guy), seems like a bad move.

Also, Naruto seems to have gotten stupid in Sasuke's presence, almost reverting to his 12 year old self. What happened to all his ferocity and such, standing up to Madara. Sasuke appears and he seems to start gushing about it.

Nice idea reuniting Team Seven, but it feels like a poor execution.

Eh, Sasuke flips pretty quick to begin with; look how quickly he reacted to anything Danzo, Obito and Itachi told him. Each time he made an immediate decision to do something different from his original plans. Then he talks to the founding fathers who hold all the information and learns that everything happening has pretty much been a plot by Madara and Obito. Wink

As for Naruto being giddy, well thats who he is. He was devastated the one guy who he could relate to in his village wanted to kill him and that he'd have to kill Sasuke. But Sasuke ended up making Team Seven again, bringing up the bad assery of what I believe was my last comment.

To be honest, something confuses me. Why does Minato have the same energy cloak as Naruto? Wasn't that gained after Naruto mastered the Kyuubi?

Might have somthing to do with the fact that he originally sealed half of the kyuubi chakra inside himself.

Did he seal it within himself before getting pulled into the Death God?

I thought he had just sealed inside the Death God and not himself.

Perhaps the half of chakra within Minato doesn't contain the sentience that is within Naruto, thus meaning that there was no back and forth struggle for control, much like Gold & Silver brothers (I forget which one it was that used the cloak). They simply had a very tiny fraction of the chakra, thus the Version 2 Cloak, while Minato and Naruto both have equal halves of the entirety of the Kyuubi.

That's my theory. I'm wondering on what's going to happen to the chakra within Minato if/when the Edo tensei is released. I'm willing to bet that at some important moment, Minato is going to transfer the chakra he contains into Naruto, thus making the Kyuubi whole and allowing Naruto to reach yet another stage of chakra cloak-ness and/or Tailed Beast Form.

Okay, so midway through all this, is it just me or has Kishimoto forgotten that Sasuke had the Hawk summons last time, not the Snake?

You know, it never said he lost his ability to summon snakes anywhere... He just took that feat to get a second blood pact.

Can we stop with all the nostalgia power ups... -.- the coolest thing that even happened was Inoshikacho, the rest was just "Yayayayayayaya we're the new sannin yaayyayayayayayya"

-.-
