I must agree with Suigetsu. That was an ugly slugs, augh, shivers.
Anyway a little . . . annoyed with the chapters. I liked Orochimaru and Tsunade moments of talking but to continue for about 13 pages? Even I was getting impatient.
Like everyone I don't really understand how Tsunade lived, I wanted her alive but I want the sudden unexpected to happen. For Kishi to give us the blow that Orochimaru kills her but no it has to be predictable. Maybe there is a solid reason for Kishi to keep Tsunade alive, I hope there is.
I couldn't stop laughing at Karin's and Suigetsu's reactions to Orochimaru's tongue and neck expanding. That was the only moment I could seriously laugh at. xD
And, to get to point, people, Orochimaru is still forever evil. He is just curious of the path Sasuke takes in which he possibly presumes will be the evil side and is waiting for him to do all the dirty work for him. Orochimaru becoming good is cliche as Sasuke becoming good. He has no reason to or even showing desire to. And I don't know if I'm really disappointed that Tsunade easily trusted him or not . . . depends I suppose on later chapters for me to decide.
I'm quiet curious why the panel directed from Tsunade to Sakura. Currently, we all know Sakura is thinking of Sasuke's motives . . . perhaps Tsunade is doing the same about Orochimaru? Something along with that.
And I think its clear now Sasuke wants to become hokage, in his own way. In a very dark way. Defiantly going to be a fight of Naruto vs Sasuke just like Hashirama and Madara.
And, ladies and gentleman clap you're hands. Sakura has finally matured. She has gained new power, and knows Sasuke is up to something. She is no longer the naive thirteen year old fangirl. She has grown up just as the rest. But she still loves Sasuke obviously, that will never change no matter how much Sasuke hurts her - like nearly killing her -.
But honestly, that smile did freak me out x_x People who believe her to be possessed, I nearly though that, but its just a beat up smile.
And, oh my god. Someone pointed out many times Shikamaru interfered with SasuSaku. Like, when Sasuke left the village, he knew that Sakura was the first person to know of him leaving. And he was the one that wanted to tell Sakura of Sasuke having to be killed. He is the one that seems to understand Sakura more than even Naruto possibly, and him looking towards Sai and Sakura ( Even though may not look it ) is just another classic example. He knows that Sakura knows what Sasuke is up to. Again, Sakura knew Sasuke was leaving the village extra and extra as said in last few chapters. Fair chance she may know what he is up to.
And....Kakashi and Obito....no comment. Got to wait next chapter. But I give this 4/5 because Karin and Suigetsu took up too much panels and was boring.
