Hopefully something meaningful is revealed between Naruto and Sasuke during their encounter. I don't just want some teary eyed fighting, hopefully they have some awesome drawing to complement the fights to ensue.
Also it's about time that they go beyond Manga chapter 238 in the Anime. They have no excuses to add in so much filler, and should retify that with goof manga based episodes.

Does anyone think that Akatsuki are going to jump in the invasion of Konoha?

i hope so,other wise it would be too similar to the first konoha invasion. Plus, watching Akatsuki vs Oroshimaru vs the Leaf should be a nice battle. Maybe now we'll be able to see the rest of Akatsuki's members.

As much as I love me some Akatsuki, I can't really see them jumping into the invasion. It'd draw too much attention to themselves, moreso than they already have.

It's time for the rest of the Rookie 9 to shine again.

How intresting, I am guessing Sai or what ever he calls himself will be joining Naruto and all. Or get killing while helping Naruto/Sasukara

i really wouldn't mind Akatsuki invading konoha for their own personal reason. Akatsuki only lost one guy (sasori's death) . I'm just saying that it would be a shock if both parties wanted to take over the villiage but then have to defeat this one and the other. There's still like 3-4 more unknown akatsuki's.

As for Sai, I still have my doubts about him. The next chapter is called Beyond Betrayal .

Akatsuki as party poopers? Seeing Deidara in action again would rule, but I don't know how Kishimoto would write the Akatsuki into the current arc when there is too much focus on Orochimaru and Sasuke.

I wouldnt mind if they used Diedara and Tobi to show up in Konoha. That would also be a bigger shock (since every fan thinks tobi is Obito. the meeting with him and Kakashi would be a huge turning point in the arc) for the Konoha Rookies who haven't met with Diedara or Tobi. If not Tobi then maybe Zetu (Zetsu) We have yet to see the venus fly trap king show his moves

These last few chapters have been dumb. Espcially 303, we don't even learn anything new, besides like 1 thing. The next issue is supposed to be colored, hopefully we'll get a colored Sasuke but I kind of doubt it. Also the next arc better have the other rookies as someone else said. I don't like how the pat 60 chapters focus pretty much only on Naruto. Those fights with Neji/Gai/Lee don't count. Sorry.

I guess this means Sakura/Yamato will be fighting Sasuke, right?

I Sai kicks the gaylord's fucking ass. Not to mention I am kinda pumped up for the fights for next couple chapters. Maybe on these chapters Sai will reveil his full skills. And wtf? Naruto's Kage bun Shin no Jut su + Ransengan is... countered just like that?
