What's the point of giving Kankuro more puppets, he already got the Sasori one

About Naruto's training: while I don't like the "training of the week" panels, they will justify the power he will be using later on, you can't just kyuubihameha Kabuto without a reference being made beforehand. |

So all Sai has to do is tell Deidara that he really admires his art and then he'll go join Sasori in ninja heaven. Or should it be hell?
I was hoping the war meant we wouldn't have to see Naruto again until Madara attacked the Kages. Didn't we just have training? There is nothing more boring than training, so of course Kishimoto gives us more of it instead of padding the battles the one time he has an excuse to do it. Remember when we were complaining about Sasuke hogging the manga? The dude has wisely stayed in the background for a long time. Naruto should take a hint. And now the manga has turned into the movies where everything is solved with bigger rasengan! We at least Madara now knows Kabuto is probably trolling him. Maybe that Mist guy does something next week to the Ambush squad and Madara/Kabuto don't look like losers. Eh, probably not. |

Like most said, Sasori's death was rushed and felt forced. I guess it's expected that the zombie Akatsuki wouldn't be the threats they were when first introduced, but I was hoping more tension would be built up. Despite that, I'm still sure Kishi won't have every single zombie defeated by getting talked to death (maybe).
Naruto's training is 'meh' as usual. It pretty much kills the theory that Kyuubi and Naruto could work together on friendly terms. The only interesting thing to me was that the fact Yondaime developed Rasengan seemed to interest Killer Bee (he's mentioned Yondaime before, so maybe they have history? ), but then again that could lead to nothing. Which is funny... didn't he do that instinctively against Sasuke at VoTE?

The pace of Naruto's training is similar in design to what we experienced during the Pain arc. So I imagine that we will be getting several updates during the course of the war effort, until Naruto is forced to enter the fray.
Whatever the case, I am very interested in the possible development between Madara and Kabuto next chapter. |

That's not the case, he never trusted Kabuto. But he did think Kabuto's betrayal would begin only if Madara lets B&W-Zetsu or Sasuke near him, so Madara simply keeps Sasuke and Zetsu in a secret place to avoid Kabuto's betrayal. But right now he realizes that Kabuto has some secret plan that is more complicated than just stealing Sasuke or Zetsu. Kabuto forced this cooperation with his secret zombie summon that for some reason scared Madara.

Hopefully Kabuto is trying to resurrect Orochimaru. If we're going to see recycled villians, might as well bring back the best even for a short time.
I kinda want to see if anything more than a blip comes from Kimimaru's appearance. It could easily be a Rock Lee rematch but he's insane loyalty to Orochimaru could could come into play if Kabuto betrayal blossoms into something meaningful. |

Rather, I was referring to what will happen when both stop pretending that they can work together and confront each other, hopefully leading to further revelations concerning Madara (like what's in the box). |

So Sasori dies again, but this time by talking... typical sequels
Though I guess this comes as the biggest concern with bringing back the old akatsuki. While we may not have liked how everyone of them died, they at the very least got a really epic battle first. They had a really good high point before they died. Now they've been brought back, but even so it seems unlikely they will ever reach the same heights that made us like them so much as villains. Seeing them again got us excited but it seems we really overestimated how they would be used... frankly might aswell forget about the Akatsuki zombies and focus more on the former kages and former hosts; not really expecting much after sasori and deidara's performance, but at the very least they may be able to show us some new moves |

I recall Grandma even saying that Sasori let himself be trapped, as in he couldn't have been trapped if he hadn't been willingly careless. Out of all the resurrected Akatsuki, I think he was possibly the easiest to defeat in this fashion, something Kabuto couldn't have known about. It's more than likely he trusted all of Akatsuki to be 'hardcore' as Gaara put it. |

^The full form was always about cooperation with the Kyuubi. We've known that sicne Kirabi was introduced. That doesn't mean Naruto will ever attain that form. Specifically, much the same as he taught himself Rasegan assbackwards, and never fully completed Sage Training, Naruto will most likely never complete Kyuubi Mode training. Instead, he'll do what he can with the options he has available, just like he always has done.

-But getting back to the point, alright so he cannot use the Kyuubi full form at the moment so he's settling on using the Chakra Blast Sphere for now. But I don't think its unreasonable to believe he will never achieve the full form as well. There is bound to be some loophole that Kishimoto hasn't made us aware of yet. After all, Naruto is all about surpassing his own limitations so I don't see how this isn't just another hill for him to conquer.

The kyuubi is probably the last creature that could be affected by friendship no jutsu...but submission through force isn't Naruto's style, so I'm not so anxious to see it happening, like, ever. I will agree that Naruto is more than capable of taking on anyone and anything right now, more grinding is unnecessary.
