@Yuugi's:
#459 was quite exciting this week. There's a lot of doubt being thrown around on all sides and and Danzô's reaction to being 'found out' wasn't as sour as you'd think. I wonder if this is a part of a greater scheme? Only time will tell.
On the Rookie Nine front we see an raising of arms against Sasuke and a terribly guilt-stricken Sakura make up her mind. While it's almost certain everything they plan to do will not wind up happening when they finally get there, it'll be interesting to see if ten (eleven including Sai) shinobi can make it there in such a short time, espicially with so many ninja. We might just wind up with a clustercluck of shinobi ala the current happenings in One Piece.
At this point I really don't think anything is going to stop Naruto from his goal. If anything the decision of the Rookies comes off as Kishimoto upping the stakes even further for him and in all likelyhood the next time Naruto meets Sasuke there will likely be a good ten chapters of back and forth talk, likely more monologing on Naruto's side.
You know, it's sort of ironic: Sasuke, the great elite Uchiha once had everyone's faith and admiration, while now it Naruto the boy once shunned as a demon with the love, faith, and admiration of the whole village, but even more importantly to him, the utter trust of his fallen beloved master.
