Hey guys. I've decided to do another review, after all. The main focus of this chapter was Team 7's reunion and Sakura's power-up which was incidentally MORE PHYSICAL STRENGTH and NOT SLUG SAGE MODE, as I predicted last week. So, the first page was pretty nice. Sasuke acknowledged Team 7's reunion instead of staying silent...like Juugo, I too wonder what he's thinking right now. Does he really feel like he's back in the ol' days? Or is it just an act? Anyways, the rest of the K11 is feeling all groovy and nostalgic 'cuz Sasuke's back...all I have to say is poor Neji. The guy just died and just because Sasuke came back everyone is all nostalgic and "oh, this feels like the Chuunin exams bla bla". WELL I GOT NEWS FOR YOU. NEJI IS A PART OF K12, SO DON'T YOU GUYS FORGET IT. I WON'T FORGIVE YOU THE NEXT TIME YOU FORGET NEJI! Oh yeah, and Kiba was a dumbass, with the "I'll become Hokage" crap. (tho it was funny seeing Hinata patronize him)

So this barrier of the four red suns is some pretty powerful stuff. It was able to stifle a bujuu dama and inflict damage back on the Juubi. For a second, I thought Tobirama was gonna do something awesome when I saw him make his face, but I still remain unimpressed by him -_-. Madara still does nothing this chapter, and he refuses to fight Hashi's wood clone...the guy sits down in the middle of the war, waiting for them to finish what they're doing with the Juubi? Seems a little too good to be true; but one fact still remains -- Madara is a boss, he can do anything he wants. Hashi creates an opening in the side of the barrier for the shinobi to enter...upon which the Juubi starts doing some Katsuyu-like splitting. Damn those little mongrels are ugly. They kinda look like the 3rd Mizukage's Joki boy (the one Gaara made into a golden egg).

And now the spotlight shifts its focus to...Sakura-chan. Her power-up. For the record, my prediction on that was correct. But anyways, we see a little flash back from her and also some of Tsunade's words...which states that she too, will inherit the power of a Sannin (it's official now, they're the new Sannin in charge). We see her get her forehead-diamond-mark-thingy and BAAMMM she starts kicking some major ass. She ain't wearing gloves tho, hope she doesn't hurt her hand making an earthquake like that >.< . Don't forget the signature "Hell yeah" (or whatever Shaannaro means) that comes with every superhuman punch! Of course, she gets praised...by Naruto, Hashirama, and Shizune-senpai (who admits that Sakura has surpassed her) -- and Sasuke acknowledges her as well?!

In the end, Naruto and Sasuke still had to defend her. Apparently superhuman strength was not enough...gotta use some ninjutsu :x. Of course Sakura's all like "Saasuuke-kuun" when that happens and acts like Naruto wasn't even there (bye bye NaruSaku pairing). The chapter ends with Sakura saying that she'll take the title of Hokage if Naruto is busy fighting...? That's a WTF moment but anywho. With all the people wanting to become Hokage lately, I must admit I was not surprised by that at all.

All in all, this was a pretty decent chapter. I'll give it a 4/5. I must admit I'm getting annoyed by everyone suddenly wanting to become Hokage. I mean like WTF, Naruto's been singing that song for 3 years and now all of a sudden no one cares about his dream and how hard he worked for it? Even Sakura used to show some concern back in the day, like when Ibiki threatened to make everyone Genins forever...she was actually worried about him not realizing his dream. I admit things are different now, but hot damn.


How would you rate this chapter and what were your favorite moments & facepalm moments? Thanks for reading my weekly review, see you guys next week.

I loved this chapter.
But people will still hate Sakura, sadly...

 

[ShishaMastah420]

I honestly feel like the chapter could have had more of a potential, if Kishi had not given Sakura a whole 3 pages.... GTFO SAKURA!

 

[jvega]

Naruto and sasuke didn't defend her. Naruto and sasuke are trying to beat each other at their own game as always, sakura was just not acknowledge. I give a 3/5, very disappointing. About 5 pages of just talking before any assault. I don't see any hope for sakura. If she could show her power when pain Destroyed kanoha, then what good is her power.

 

[Awesome G]

When they were talking about the chunin exams I think they were referring to the rookie nine not the k12.

[toph]

i cant seem to accept sasuke after all he's done. sakura, you go girl.

 

[Fanta]

sakura was teasing them when she said she was gonna snatch the hokage title. are you all really this DENSE??
and everyone is gonna be butthurt that it was mostly sakura in this chapter.

its the hinata fanboys, they're all borderline retarded lol

This guy has a point..

 

[dvmaz]

Well Kishi tried to develop Sakura's character. She got her power up but she still had to be saved at the end, I think Kishi stuffed up that part. He developed her to a certain extent.

However I am annoyed with the last 2 or so panels where Sasuke and Naruto save Sakura and then she say's "Sasuke-kun". It feels as though we are back to the time where Sakura only thinks about Sasuke only and forgets about Naruto.

Naruto had to say "I am here too Sakura-chan". Even though Naruto has saved her more times than I can count, she still seems to be the old Sasuke fangirl which is why I did not like her as a character in the first place.

So 4/5 for this chapter but I would have thought that by now she would also acknowledge Naruto given that he is stronger than her and has saved her quite a few times now. Maybe Kishi is just trying to undo the pairing situation he created in 631. Who knows?

I liked it but I didn't get a single page of it. What was that with Hashirama. He opened the door with the wood clones and Madara said no and than what happened ? Hashirama said something and then Team 7 basically ran towards the Juubi but what was this weeks chapter about ?

Still cool chapter with Sakura and the Team 7

 

[Naru2GT]

It was a great chapter. I think Tsunade might die very soon. Naruto making that face on pg.18 was funny.

With Orochimaru and Karin still missing, I have my doubts about that. :x

 

[jediknite2]

Sakura's power up was expected to be physical strength, but what I don't get was the thing abOut not needing it to stay young I don't understand that part....!!!

Tsunade use it to look younger too so her jutsu is less powerful when she do that also its shorten her life . But sakura doesnt .
