what the fuck kissing?

it's pretty obvious that sasuke has no intentions at all of being an evil bastard like orochimaru was, we aren't sure of his intention right now but I don't see anything malicious in it..

we also have quite a few akatsuki members alive still, including the still unknown leader and probably the most powerful person in the storyline right now, itachi
 
I have a feeling that Sasuke is going to try and capture Naruto or Konoha, having learned of Sasuke's recent actions, will willingly help.. but anyways.. Naruto will be used to lure Itachi with Sasuke and others waiting to trap them. They'll fail, Naruto will be in trouble, queue team 8's appearance and Gaara (returning the favor) to get Naruto back. On the way they'll prolly kill 1-2 Akatsuki and so that means Naruto will take more time to have his bijuu extracted. The entire group going to rescue Naruto (team kakashi, team sasuke (who's after Itachi more), team 8, and Gaara) will probably come in time to see Naruto starting to have his bijuu extracted. I don't think they'll complete the extraction but some will be extracted and so the Kyuubi won't have such an influence over Naruto and then he'll be able to control the Kyuubi chakra. Anyways, there'll be some pwnage of Akatsuki. Maybe 1-2 or 3 or so will get away and then there'll be a battle later :P

That's my prediction of things to come. And don't forget about the blue hair akatsuki. I really wish Kishi would explain Hidan and Kazuku better to us as well as Deidara.. Actually give them a freakin back story a bit. I'll be pissed if he never does and he does the same to Tobi, Blue Haired, Akatsuki Leader, etc.
 
Tobi has a backstory.

Tobi is Obito.

Black spikey hair. Mask covering his crushed face and missing left eye. Clumsy.

Not exactly hiding his identity much. Also, he had to be tested to replace Sasori. Which most likely means he's not a big time S-Rank criminal. Do you think Itachi or Orochimaru had to be tested to join? Hell, all of Akatsuki seems like they'd be shoo-ins if they joined up later than they had.

The part where Sasuke was looking at the Great Naruto Bridge, then he smiled an did a "Vegeta Hmph" made me feel nostalgic. It also served well to show the reader what Sasuke's intentions really are. I loved that scene. ^^

Personally, until Kishi himself says Tobi is Obito, I won't believe it :P The hair is just a dumb argument to make as several have similar hair. I would actually, also, be far more impressed if Rin = Tobi. As in, Rin, feeling such guilt and loss for Obito goes insane and revives Obito sorta in herself and so she takes on Obito's personality and messed the name up a bit cause of insanity.

I can see that Tobi MIGHT be Obito but if it turns out to be a brand new person with no backstory like Kakuzu and Hidan.. I'll be annoyed :|

And that didn't look like a smile at all to me when he saw Naruto Bridge more like a "bah :\" and I would see him being more pissed at how much he failed that mission. After all, Naruto sorta succeeded where he failed (fighting Haku) though he didn't know at the time Naruto had a little help :P

What about the other tailed beasts though? so far Akatsuki has sealed 2 demons which were from jinchuriki, one wild demon which was defeated by Deidara and 3 other unknown demons, they have 3 left which includes Naruto's nine tailed fox demon and 2 other unknown demons. Maybe Team 7 will be sent with the other teams to help stop Akatsuki before they even get to the wild demons/jinchuriki and defeat Akatsuki when they encounter them.

Also, Sasuke will need to kill Itachi, so this new team maybe for going up against him.

Another question that popped in my mind was Danzo, what is he planning to do and what is Sai going to do if Danzo tries something drastic?

Plus, there are some Akatsuki members that need to be revealed such as the leader and that blue haired member.

The final chapters maybe facing off against the leader of Akatsuki himself (whether or not he has obtained 6/9 tailed beasts or 8/9 tailed beasts), we finally find out who the hell the leader is and maybe during the fight he tries to paralyze the team that faces off against him and tries extracting the kyubi himself as Naruto's comrades watch in horror, but the process is interrupted by someone (probably Sasuke, he did rescue Naruto in the chapters before Jiraiya helps Naruto control the kyubi's chakra) and Naruto will deliver the killing blow to the leader. The aftermath of the battle may have Sasuke and Naruto shake hands and become allies again.

And, maybe as an epilogue to the series, all the members of the Konoha teams have become Jonins/ANBU and maybe Sakura, or Sasuke if he returns to Konoha, or both Sasuke and Sakura will look up to the faces of the Hokages and Naruto will be there, looking over Konoha when the sun sets. (Naruto will have remained a Genin until he becomes Hokage as a reference to the 1st Chuunin exam he took saying that he doesn't care if he remains a Genin, as he will become Hokage one day).

This is just what I think though, the events may end up completely different to what we may or may not expect.
 
I don't see why naruto would have to stay a genin for the whole series. He said that he didn't care about his rank, but after the time skip he was concerned because he was the only genin of his age group. And while I'm sure you technically could go from genin straight to hokage, there's really no reason to not advance in rank, especially if you were going to reach such a lofty position anyways.

If Danzo tries something, Sai is going to side with/defend his friends. They helped him recover his emotions.

Well, unless you want to sit through another Chuunin Exam, and useless story of Naruto becoming a Jounin, I think it would be better off that he remains a Genin and becomes Hokage.

After all, increasing your rank as a ninja is completely optional. Ultimately, so is Hokage. But I don't see why Hokage would require being a Jounin, it's simply a title given to the Strongest/Wisest Ninja(or the one closest who accepts.) Naruto is already the strongest. Kakashi is more fit for Hokage than Tsunade, and he has admitted Naruto surpassing him. And it's obvious he's becoming much smarter with every arc.

Tsunade was merely chosen as a figurehead to keep the village safe from invasion after Orochimaru did in Sarutobi. It makes sense to put someone who was trained by the one most fit to hold the title than anyone else, from an intimidation point.

Well, being another of the sanin probably helped as well, she IS pretty strong herself.

They wouldn't have to go through another chunin exam for him, since they've already cut out 3 years of his training. Just have him leave to take the test while the rest of team 7 heads out to a mission, he shows up at some point(likely when the rest of the team is getting their ass kicked) and say he passed and was made a chunin, then proceeds to beat up the villain of the day. A jounin arc would be kind of interesting, I'm curious what they have to do for that; since they're considered what, a general at that point?

I think there are still 4 demons out there. So far we know, from Deidara, that before they even captured Gaara, Akatsuki had captured 2 other Jinchuuriken before where their villages were actually more on Akatsuki's side. Then they got Gaara, the two tailed woman who got a total of like.. 2 pages, the few panels of the three tailed monsters, and that's it. At least from the Manga being a source.. I only recall ever having there been 5 in Akatsuki's possessions.

By the way, is anyone else annoyed that Kishi seems to be slipping? The two tailed woman was a rather useless part really, she was added only to be quickly defeated and for what? We could have seen Hidan's abilities for the first time with Asuma and all woulda been fine. And then we don't even really get a back story for Hidan or Kakuzu (at most we know he fought the first Hokage and that's it), we still have none for Deidara, the latest chapters of pure Sasuke have been rather dull (come on.. he's so overpoweredly boring). I'm losing faith in Kishimoto >.> I hope he improves and deals with certain problems..
 
They have 6. Orochimaru is rumoured to be one. Naruto's another. And if you ask me, Kisame looks like he'd be one as well.
 
When did they get the 6th though? O.o where was it in the Manga they showed them having six? I don't remember seeing the statue with 6 eyes "activated"

As for Orochimaru being one? eh.. I think that's a silly rumor. We do know Naruto is one, ya. Kisame? I dunno.. the only thing that could justify that right now is when Neji said "I haven't seen this much chakra since Naruto" and even then, it isn't enough to say he has one. We'll just have to wait and see for what Kishi shows us. For all we know, we might never get to see the other Bijuu or Jinchuuriken (whatever state its in) because Kishi might just have Akatsuki defeated before doing so.

I wouldn't be suprised if Orochimaru comes out to be one. He's faced Four-Tail Kyuubi Naruto without much effort. Ibiki telling the watchmen about him and how he felt Orochimaru wasn't human, but rather something that took on the form. And how Jinchuuriki take on traits of their Bijuu. Naruto has whisker marks and the cat Jinchuuriki had cat-shaped eyes. Orochimaru has snake-like eyes, and his nose has the coloration on the side making it look more streamlined, like his face is supposed to be flat like the top of a snakes head. As for Kisame, he has tiny shark-like eyes and gill-like ridges on his cheeks, Hoshigake Kisame even means "Demon Shark."

His immortality technique could also be some sort of willful re-sealing of the bijuu, and the reason he looks the same body after body is because of how strong his true form actually is, and it just dominates the host. Like how Narutos appearance changes the more he taps in to Kyuubi's chakra. I honestly think he's a Bijuu imitating a human.

Also, as for Kisame being a Bijuu/Jinchuuriki, he had as much Chakra as Naruto when the Kisame being fought by Team Gai was a body double at 30% power. He has a lot more to him than just that. AL has even commented on how Kisame has immense chakra.

The feeling that Orochimaru isn't human might just have been that he's a giant snake now.

Well that would be truly interesting to me. If Orochimaru turned out to be a bijuu that appeared human. Though, Orochimaru had parents we still don't know if they were his real parents or anything. That would be really interesting, Orochimaru being a Bijuu that took on form of a human similar to how myths tend to have demons do :P I just think, right now, there isn't enough to say for sure that he and Kisame are Bijuu. I agree there are things hinting at a possibility and its better than the theories of "LOL THIS PERSON IS THIS PERSON PURELY CAUSE THEY HAVE THE SAME HAIR OUTLINE!".

And I still wanna know where it stated Akatsuki had 6 Bijuu already XD I can count 5 but I can't figure out where the 6th supposedly was shown to have been in their possession (be it 6 open/activated eyes on the statue or a member saying it or whatever).

Like I said, it's just a rumour. One that makes a ton of sense, but still just what it is. As for the whole parents thing, the bijuu could have taken over Orochimaru's body as a child. Or killed him and taken on his form.

Chapter 331. After sealing Sanbi, before sealing Nibi.

Ah, so that is before Nibi, I see.
 
Chapter 350

Generic chapter with fighting.

Sasuke and co get ganged up on by a bunch of stage 2 cursed seal people, Suigetsu chides sasuke for not wanting to kill them.

More hints at him going back to the good side.

Also it seems naruto and konoha has figured out orochimaru is dead, that's pretty interesting too.
 
I wonder if Konoha will send Naruto and such to go find Sasuke and learn his plans.. or.. hmm.. I hope Kishi makes it interesting :P And yes, Juugo gonna get pwned cause Sasuke is an overpowered whore XD
