Ok, well after reading the chapter and some of everyone's predictions, I got a few ideas/questions in my head. First off is Sasuke's decision. He decided the village wasn't a waste and to go to the battlefield. Now everybody is thinking he is redeemed, however there might be the argument that he's going to go and fight for Madara's ideal, for a reality that's to his own liking. (Maybe Konoha being run by Uchiha, er something.) my point is, (and I'm playing devil's advocate here) that he still has a big arrogant chunk in him still and it's not going to be defeated with Talk No Justu. My money is on Naruto beating it out of him.
Second thing I observed is that everyone is talking about Minato's "Gift". If it is the other half of the Kyuubi's Chakra, as I admittedly hope it is, I wonder how Naruto is going to handle DOUBLING his demonic Chakra reserves. Hopefully Kishimoto won't overlook it and we can have some interesting side affects or mood swings.
Third of all, to all you who are saying "zOMG! Orochi iz my favorite bed-time hero! Hez a good guy naoghw!"... Don't underestimate Orochimaru. He's snakes Incarnate, a deceiver at heart. If you don't think he has ulterior motives, than I think you are kidding yourself.
Lastly, with the seires coming to a climax, you really got to wonder if Kishimoto will stick to this universe that we all enjoy, and create a spinoff or something to that effect, or retire it and move on with a new premise. Hopefully it's the former, because I can't get enough of this Ninja world he's created.
