Neat chapter, kinda boring besides that part where Itachi's Dad basically just lets his son kill him. That was cool. The bromance was ok, not really my thing.
The last chapter affirmed my belief that Sasuke was still evil, that talking to Itachi made him want to destory Kohana more. However this chapter agains scares me. If Sasuke is somehow saved, at the end and doesn't die, I'll chalk this whole series up to another fairy tale ending, which I find lame. Sorry to the Sasuke lovers out there.
I still can't see how Sasuke can be forgiven, He made the Riakage lose his arm, killed Danzo, almost killed Karien, killed several Samurai, almost killed Kakashi and Sakura, this emo needs to die, and i'll be a happy Naruto fan.
Hopefully either Lee or Gai dies, not because I want them too, just because I want to see the eight gates!!!
Prediction: I'd say either Tobi releases a trump card of some sort such as combo sharigan and rinnigan move or he resummons Madara since he knows how to do edo-tensi.
But a more likely scenario, is that he's going to retreat. Find Sasuke, make him fight Naruto, if team 7 backs up Naruto, I have strange feeling, Naruto won't be the one to finish off Sasuke, they'll sorta stalemate, and Kakashi or Sakura will make the finishing blow because they don't want to see Naruto die, and not fulfill his dream but thats only if Team 7 decides to join Naruto. Then Sasuke will fail, tobi will be defeated by the kages or the army or something. End of Naruto, besides epilogue stuff.
