Though i have to think for a min, their are a few things that are just way off in this chapter after careful expection. Certain things just do not add up and im not saying its a flaw in kishimoto direction of story telling and character development. Well for example i really don't think sasuske's role bout being hokage is entirely legitimate? What do you think. Don't get me wrong, as much as i love team 7 just kicking ass, together like the good ol days i still get that feeling that sasuske might be charading, putting on an act. It could still possibly be that he could still be on the side of evil. Kishimoto is kind of hinting towards this, very subtle, but neverless still hinting towards something about sasuske and what he really wants to achieve.That kind of got me a bit interested.
When jugo said "sasuske i wonder what your thinking right now"
One thing i clearly did not like is when kiba just spouted out "I want to be hokage" I mean really?? Come one man, what is everyone for the hokage candidate these days. That just seemed like an off ball response and just out of no where. I would almost possibly thing this would be a miss translation. I would say that has to be the worst piece of dialogue in this whole chapter.
Another thing that annoyed me was after all this time, sakura's character development, she still clings to sasuke, i mean what the fck this guy wanted to rip your throat out and now is suddenly reunited with naruto. But yeah she is like "SASUKE-KUN" and naruto was like i am here to sakura. Now i think kishi intended for that to happen but i really don't know why. You would think after so much time that sakura finally get a fcking clue and acknowledge naruto being their protecting her ass as well. So just what the hell is on your mind kishi?
This chapter just totally seemed off in so many different places its just, WOW! lol
Though its obvious that orichimaru not being present has some other motive. Their is no way in hell that orichimaru does not have a plan, another purpose, after all we are talking bout "ORICHIMARU" the most manipulative character in the whole naruto universe. So some how he is creeping behind the scenes, and honestly i can't wait to see what happens with him, also have you noticed that Sai, Karin, Suigetso have all not been present either? hmm weird.
