Chapter Status: Confirmed Spoilers.

So evil Sasuke was a giant troll. Karin was fine all along. If Madara thinks she could thwart their plans by ratting on them, then her life was in no danger.

Sasuke gets a harem.
Sakura is a bitch.
Sai, Lee and Kiba suck completely.
databooks are garbage. Karin's backstory contradicts them openly

Shouldn't it be Chapter 482? Just checking. :)

Yes it should.

That's what I get for copying and pasting :).

edit: Fixed title.

Well, I wouldn't say having a giant whole in your chest is a good thing, but I understand what you mean. :)
And I honestly don't think that Sakura is a bitch, but is trying to trick Sasuke by trying to reconstruct their bond/trust so she can, in the end kill him. But, he'll probably guess that's her motive in the long run and kill her himself, but that's just what I think.

Well, she intended to free Naruto from his promise but made things way worse... Now he is forced to think only of Sasuke because Sakura's life is at stake too ...

And we know she'll fail. It's written in stone Naruto will be the one to defeat Sasuke, and the one to find the words to redeem him.
Sakura is either genuine and choosing Akatsuki / Sasuke (she doesn't know Sasuke's reasons yet) over Konoha / Naruto (unlikely) or a damsel in distress in disguise. I don't see anything good coming from her actions. (probable)

Konoha is Sasuke's next destination. Sakura wouldn't really be running away from Konoha with him, so something is going to happen on the bridge.
Kakashi is probably going to confront them and maybe a fight will start and force Sakura to open her eyes.

^Naruto is coming up behind them, so, presumably, Naruto will arrive while Sakura is pushing her feminine wiles onto Sasuke, only for Sasuke to immediately shove a Chidori through her heart in front of Naruto before being beamed away by Madara. Thus ends the story of Sakura, Kishimoto's special style of "Heroine"...

Kishimoto said the "main character" of this year would be Kakashi in the last Jump Festa interview.
It's obvious to me the reason Naruto fainted was so he wouldn't be involved in this mess ... Kakashi will be the one to confront Sasuke.

Beside, Madara just left according to spoiler.

Yeah, Sakura really hasn't been thinking things through. No matter what, Sakura is acting really stupid. Maybe she hopes to gain his trust, like I mentioned before, but as you said, I can't see anything good coming from her actions.

I really hope that this doesn't result in Kakashi pulling in Obi Wan Kenobi, but I can see him chasing after Sakura to end up in a fight with Sasuke/Madara. I don't think it will happen that way though, since he has Sai with him. I think Sai will end up stalling Sasuke while Kakashi tries to stall with Madara. Then they'll just start talking, Sasuke will see that Sakura never really planned on going with him but to kill him, scoffs, calls her a burden and he and Madara disappear. This leaves Sakura to get yelled at by Kakashi and Sai and then Naruto pops out of nowhere too late yet again. But that's my idea of how things are going to happen. :)

Kakashi or Naruto, all that matters is that Sasuke will kill Sakura...or Sasuke will force Sakura to beat on Kakashi...that actually sounds like a "fun" turn of events, even if it is stupid and completely OOC.

He didn't kill Karin and you think he'll kill Sakura ?

No chances ...

Sakura is just on a filler trip where she'll do nothing to Sasuke and where Sasuke will do nothing to her.

"A man can dream, right?"...or is it a fool's dream :D.

By the way, I complained about Danzou last week, but Madara is walking the same path of fail.

Not only did he fail to recover Shisui's eye, but he was also brushed off by Sasuke when he asked him to finish Karin off. Right after losing an arm to henchmen of someone Sasuke defeated.
I have rarely seen a major villains (probably final villain) so not threatening or intimidating.

Oh yes! Fill the empty spot!

Kishi better have something good planned. And yeah...spoiler sounds a bit too far fetched.

LOL, I knew episode 116 of the anime would turn into a plothole.

What bout 116? o.o I kinda forgot.

The chuunin exam was like out of nowhere, really :/ why not a different flashback.

But then, we couldn't scream RETCON !
(from an unconfirmed-because-anonymous-but-still-matching-exactly-NJA's spoiler, Karin was in a team from the Sound.

And we know Sound only had one team in the Exam (Kabuto even commented it was because it was the noob villages)

And it is ridiculous for Sasuke to play all friendly with Sound ninjas after the encounter with Oro and the Sound 3 ...
