I feel sorry for Sai, He's been reduced to a pitiful 'me too' character on the sidelines compared to how he was when Shippuden first started.
Tried to showcase his usefulness in this chapter but failed spectacularly. it's almost like a parody to be honest at this point.

Sasuke is worse. he's good but wants to kill his brother. Then he's evil cause Oro gave him the power to kill his brother. Then he kills Oro now he finally kills his brother and after who we now know is Obito explains it all he wants to kill danzo now he kills danzo and all of the sudden he wants to destroy the leaf. Now not only does he want to protect the leaf just like Oro he wants to be Hokage. To add insult to injury this entire time it seemed as though the final battle would be Naruto vs Sasuke now everythings hunky dory. I'm with the other leaf shinobi this is total bull |

Wait. A chapter that highlighted side characters? Am I reading the right manga? Kudos to Kishi for at least trying to show why Naruto's class was so special.
Team 10's attack stole the show though. A Shikamaru controlled giant yo-yo while Ino links the three and transfers targets to Shikamaru. They took out 30-40 of the Juubi spawn and they admitted they could go a lot bigger. Team 8's attack came off lame by comparison because they were individual attacks that we basically saw before. Kiba gets another dog head. Hinata can match Neji. And Shino gets another bug. Meh. Sai's appearance was random, and basically done to setup the real Team 7, but nice to see Kishi still remembers him. A very enjoyable chapter that showcased teamwork. |

Wow, I didn't know Neji was that ahead of the game. Hinata just managed to reach 64 strikes in this chapter by pushing her self to the limit here, and Neji was doing 128 strike in 8 trigram way back in part I as a little kid, with no formal training. What a waste of really a cool character.
Anyway, the last page of the manga should've been the first page to me. I think its cool to give the other teams camera time and let them in on the action, but he had the whole war for that. Instead of having Naruto jump around helping everyone to show "teamwork"(which was really just Naruto jumping in and taking the final shot), he could have had the rookie teams have better fights and show some of the creative tactics they're showing now. Team 7 has just reunited and its time to show that off, and finally see them fight together; especially Naruto and Sasuke. Having the other teams do their thing at this point feels like an annoyance and a delay --similar to when Kabuto's back story was introduced. It was a good story, just like these are interesting teactics, but the timing isn't ideal imo. |

Neji died so that Hinata could have no one to overshadow her for the rest of the story. I hope we finally get to see the Twin Lion Fists connect in the next chapter.
Kiba has always been boring. He'd be more interesting if he bred Akamaru and trained his pups. That will probably happen eventually. Shino is damn scary. I've always thought he was among the most powerful of his generation just on his own. The great parasite could kill just about anybody in a horrid fashion. Ino-Shika-Cho continues to be the best ninja team. They actually practice teamwork, a concept Kakashi drilled into his students, better than Team 7 ever has and will. I thought that was always an ironic feature of this story. However, I guess when your team consists of three sannin-trained powerhouses, you don't need to come up with a careful plan to assassinate targets. They just do it. Sakura can summon slugs, as predicted. I wonder when she was able to do so and why she never has before. It looks like Katsuyu, but without any color, it could be a different slug. |

Give Shino some unmatched speed and his foes will meet an horrible death.
Ino-Shika-Cho shows why this is the best team of the series. Hinata seems less shy and more assertive thanks to Neji's tips. Oh well, and Sakura got a slug. I guess Sasuke couldn't find a big hawk so he stick with some random snake. |

yea i think that's a little off. i would have preferred to see sasuke summon a hawk instead and actually it would have been nice to see sakura have her own animal too. not really sure what it should be, but i just dont see why it has to be the exact same set of summonings as the sannin. sometimes mirroring the past works, other times it's boring. 3 giant summons would still provide the mirror effect anyway, it just wouldn't be exact and unoriginal

No it makes sense that they summon their former masters' pets.
Kish is saying they are the New Sanin and have surpassed their masters. The frog boss never died. Katsuyu is the name of the slug. Its Tsunade's slug. Hasn't died either Sasuke's snake- another snake. Manda died a long time ago. Kabuto's Manda is a clone. While Naruto was in Mount Myoboku, we all saw how there are many frogs. He as summoned others as well. He summoned 3 big ones at the start of the Pain fight. It's the same for Sasuke.
