Sakura needs to go against Kabuto, I guess. Because of medical jutsu relationship. If they keep the partnership as is, then Naruto and Sai will go against Orochimaru. If Naruto has to be shown as a very good ninja to especially Sai, this is the right opportunity to show his skills.

Haven't read this yet, but from the sounds of it; it seems that Kabuto and Orochimaru were trying to mislead Akatsuki and found out it was Konoha ninjas which what I was saying for quite some time.
I just couldn't see how Sasori's jutsu could go for so long and unnoticed considering Sasori used to be Orochimaru's partner; and that Kabuto is one of the smartest people in the entire series. Can anyone give a summary of what happened? |

Neither Kabuto nor Oro saw through Yamato's disguise until Kabuto smashes the puppet. Evidently they were planning to ambush Sasori after all. Oro broke Kabuto's hypnosis early on and earned his loyalty(supposedly) the hard way. Apparently his medic skills allowed Oro to experiment on a corpse multiple times.
I think Sai and/or his brother have some involvement with Orochimaru. He thinks "Him..." after Oro shows up, and Oro indicates that all three of them are familiar faces. |

Cool chapter though... now we're getting to some good stuff. I really hope Naruto isn't as predictable as last time. I thought he was the #1 ninja at surprising people! |

Anyone mind explaining the ridiculousness of the Sasori costume? LOL why didn't they just henge? It look utterly stupid to see Yamato hiding in a Sasori Trash Can type puppet thingamabob. Oh, and about the two on one possibility of Oro Vs. Sai/Naruto. This is the perfect opportunity for Sasuke to show up and make it interesting.

Meanwhile, back at Orochimaru's lair.... And then show Sasuke eating some cheese puffs while watching Desperate Housewives. Last edited by tramadrama; 2005-12-30 at 16:02. |

For me this chapter is boring ( don't have the translation yet, so maybe there is some interesting info) simply because I was sure Kabuto was playing a trick. There were various facts about this, but the most clear is when Oro says to Kabuto he has to kill Sasuke if he want to prevent him getting sharingan. And all that was after Oro failed to take Itachi's body, so it's clear that Kabuto was there to prevent Oro getting stronger than the akatsuki are and that Sasori's jutsu on Kabuto was disspelled shortly after Oro left akatsuki. Edit: After reading the translation I think Naruto will finally use "that" jutsu. Also if Sasuke is there how is he hiding? Is Sasuke henged in that little bunny or where is he?

If Sasuke is there, then that means Oro was planning to use him against Sasori (alone or together with Kabuto)? Some kind of practice. But, in that case, he would have already appeared by now. Why continue hiding, when your master has already shown his face?
Naruto does not have any chance against Orochimaru without extracting his tails. So, we will most probably see that soon. If Yamato wasn't given the seal to stop his transformation, then it will become highly interesting to see how he can be stopped. Hopefully, we will also see some Jiraiya trademark techniques. I forgot to include that but there is another interesting choice in terms of a fighting scenario. Sakura against Kabuto and the other three against Oro. I guess, this will be a more balanced choice. |
