Though it wasn't a super awesome chapter, it's a good (and definitely a needed) one after all.
I'm a Kakashi fan, and I was like, "OH MAN!" on the part when he's almost appointed but then it was cut short by the news that Tsunade's already conscious.
Well, it seems that her reign is not over yet. It would be interesting should she participate in the alliance as well. I think we haven't seen that much of Tsunade's full offensive power in fighting. I'm kind of interested on her slugs. lol.
Seems like Karin also detected the kyuubi's chakra, and comparing it to Sasuke's evil chakra.
I'm thinking there'd be much more of a meeting in Konoha on the succeeding chapter, mainly discussing about establishing a concrete leadership (hokage). OTOH, there might be a twist to this. It's either Tsunade will remain in her position, or she will actually step down and turn it over to Kakashi. Oh wow, this is something I can't wait to see!
Probably, all the kages (with or without the daimyos) will huddle up again. Naruto and company (his batch) will also talk and stuff--emotional talks and battle plans whatsoever.
I'm also thinking that Sasuke's EMS will finally be revealed.
On a sidenote: maybe Kisame's stealth mission will also be featured. I'm not sure about Kabuto. Perhaps, kishi will make a hint on Kabuto's real intention as well (as to why he's suddenly back in the picture).
Lol. Indeed. Maybe he's gonna have a comedic entrance on the next chapter???
