Gaara is back in the picture for the summit (aaand because Kishi didn't have the nads to give him a good and proper death way back when)


Kishi: Hey guys guess what Gaara lives.
Fans: Yay
Kishi (thinking): Phew.. Now I can leave him out for 3 1/2 years. 172 chapters without that Gaara bloke sounds about right..
Fans: %#$%@%#$%@#

So Sakura is crying, Naruto with just one sentence has changed their minds like that, Gaara is back in the picture for the summit (aaaaand because Kishi didn't have the nads to give him a good and proper death way back when) and Sasuke gets his worf moment.

That basically the gist of what's going on here?
And

- Karui tells Sakura to Stfu
- Zetsu splits in two
- Madara says Sasuke will surpass Pain
- Sasuke tests his "new power"
- Kankuro is wearing Temari's old clothes
- Sai comes to defend Sakura
- 7th Bijuu revealed
- 7th Jinchruki is hot
- Samui is blonde, Karui is a red head and Omoi is blonde too
- Sasuke going to solo the 5 ******* kages

Well if killer bee could take sasuke on and make him look foolish even with help from taka, and sasuke is supposed to be as good as Pain. That would make killer bee at a level below madara and above naruto/sasuke/Pain/jaraiya, and etc. I dont think thats right, the whole balance of power has gotten way off. Plus if kisame was weaker than itachi then he should not stand a chance against killer bee. Unless itachi was truly stronger than Pain and only weaker than madara because of ems. That would make kisame on the level of killer bee and stronger than almost everyone. kishi has made things too confusing.

I don't think it says Sasuke is as strong as Pain. I think it says that he can become as strong and eventually surpass Pain.

Madara > EMS Sasuke > Pain > Itachi > Orochimaru >/=/< Naruto >/=/< Sasuke >/=/< Jiraiya > Kisame

I still don't understand why they think Kirabi is still alive. As far as they know, Akatsuki took him and extracted him already. Unless it's another one of those random faith things.

Hot damn! This is starting to get exciting. I wonder if Madara will be one of the Kages or if Kisame was speaking to him as some talk show host speak to former presidents by still refering to them as such. Will be interesting if Sasuke has no idea until he sees him there or if Madara wears some sort of disguise. Right about now, whether you like where the manga has been going, things are starting to heat up!

And I knew Sakura was still a big fangirl of Sasuke's. I'm glad she got reprimanded.

@Rising Burst: It's one thing to subdue someone and another to straight out try and kill them. I think Killer Bee and Sasuke were about on the same level. Same goes for Pain being stronger than Naruto and Sasuke. Pain was there taking on a whole Ninja village to try and subdue Naruto. If he had gone head to head with Pumpkin-boi to the death, I'm sure he would've won.

I don't get it either. Kumo is way further off from Konoha than Suna. It's already been the better part of a week since he got taken and they'd need at least another better part of a week to get back there add to that they don't have any leads.

Oh, yeah, interesting point: the people in the know about jinchuuriki and/or Akatsuki basically know Akatsuki's M.O. concerning the jinchuuriki, namely find them, grab 'em, suck out the bijuu, thereby killing the host, and run, right? So besides the author forgetting that the characters are not omniscient as he is, how would they know to assume that he's even alive at this point after all this time to go find him? Or are they being even more hopelessly optomistic than usual?

Damn, y'all type fast (aka ryukitsune beat me to it)

the seven tails looks like a mix of a rhinocerous beetle and a hornet with seven wings.

it will be interesting to see how tobi, zetsu and team hawk take on the other 4 kages and their body guards. i could see tobi taking on 2 kages at once. i mean he was giving orders to pain, a man who was able to take on an entire village.

From what I've seen killerbee do he is filed under the don't count him dead until you see a body kinda guy and I'm sure his students feel the same way

Didn't Itachi mention that Madara is a shadow of his former self and looking to restore his former power? If that is the case, Madara is more like Danzo, brains but not brawns. At least not yet. Of course, this is just speculation.

Actually Kumo doesn't know anything about what happens to captured jinchuriki. Naruto is just being an idiot again with his whole "saving people thing" (Oh my god he is Harry Potter)

I fail to see any indication whatsoever that Sakura is still a fangirl.

She could easily be crying for someone she considers a dear friend, just as Naruto has done the same during the Rescue Gaara and Sasuke and Sai Arcs.

Except Madara can barely be touched (and even when he is, he always cancels it out or escapes). That alone seem more powerful than anyone else, from my perspective anyhow.

@Twilight: as if Naruto wasn't a fanboi of Gaara's?

No, he wasn't.

I hate it when feelings of deep friendship and camaderie are blown immensely out of proportion into something they're not, but whatever.

My reaction to the Shichibi being an insect: O.o

If he had these powers when he fought the First Hokage, I wonder how he was defeated. I hope Kishi shows the full battle someday.

Oh come on. He loves Sasuke because he wants to be like him and thinks of him as a brother and he loves Gaara because they are the same, both were meant to be monsters but both have become Heroes. Plus, Gaara has already accomplished the goal Naruto so desires, he was pumpin' Gaara up to Iruka like he was a fangirl. Infact, I would wager that he loves Sasuke more than anyone else in his whole wide world. It's a non-sexual crush so he may not be a fangirl, but he most assuredly is a fanboi.

Join the club mate. I wonder if Kishi ever had any friends 'cause he obviously doesn't get it. Friendship is just a bunch a crap with a nice wrapper around it, once it unwraps it stinks.

Actually, I meant when some fans make deep friendship between characters out to be something it's not, especially in Naruto's case.

And people are even guilty of the same regarding Sakura.

And vick, this is Shonen. Power of Friendship is gonna be present. ;)

Not to mention it is a nice concept in real life.

On a spoiler comment, glad Naruto put retrieving Sasuke on the backseat to saving a fellow Jinchuuriki.

Dude I know it's shonen but some of these shonen heroes never seem to get the message that friendship is not unconditional. Once my friend always my friend is a stupid ideal that holds no ground even in fiction. It's certainly goes against what I feel power of friendship should be about. The whole turning rivals into friends ideal found in many shonen is a better reflection of the power of friendship card IMHO.
