Ok so i guess that could actually refer to alot of chapters but more specifically these last 2.

So sasuke is startin to scare me with all the killing and stuff and then Raikage is all angry and stuff and tries to kill suigetsu and breaks his neck chopper and its all going crazy!

Who's gonna win? who's going to interfere if sasuke starts to win? Whats with that evil chakra inside sasuke that looks like the 9 tails? How long till juugo dies? how sweet was that guys use of water and lightning jutsu together?

how good am i when i made my raikage sig? the shuriken totally match raikage's tattoo.

Lol dang nice foresight on that sig. XD

Yeah, so the past couple chapters have been pretty good. Sasuke is starting to back up all his tough talk unlike how he's done the past 40 chapters since Itachi's death, and we're seeing a lot of jutsu combinations and teamwork and stuff and it's cool.

I really was looking forward to Sasuke soloing the Raikage, but the interference by teammates on both sides is ruining that. Oh well, I like Juugo's C2 form, and I hope it comes with some sweet abilities. I just want an entertaining fight at this point.

And I really want to go back to Madara and Naruto. It's weird. By this point, you'd think everyone would be tired of chapters devoted to talking and stuff since we've had a lot of those in both Naruto and Bleach, but I really love Tobi/Madara's character and i want to see how he interacts with Naruto. Because Naruto and Madara both see something that most shinobi don't, and that's the power of language. Madara isn't interested in sage mode, he doesn't care about the Rasenshuriken, he knows that neither of those things are what defeated Pain. He knows that Nagato was brought down by the power of persuasion, that Naruto's character wiped Nagato a clean slate, and THAT power is what Madara is truly interested in. I want to see more on that front. As well as Madara's interpretation of Sasuke's life. Maybe we'll get to see something previously not revealed. Afterall, if anyone were to know more about Sasuke's life, the Uchiha as a whole, and the night of the masacre, it would be Madara, who has been in Uchiha's shadow longer than anyone else has been alive.

Looking forward to what's next. I just wish more than one chapter a week was released.

At first i thought Juugo's CS2 looked alot like one of Davey Jones' crew. It looked very aquatic. Hopefully he isn't just a melle brawler.

I find it kind of funny that you would rather go back to the Naruto side of the story Will. You always cared more about what was going on with Sasuke.

So depending on how long Kishimoto drags this on, I see Danzo dieing pretty soon. Who do you think its going to be? Sasuke would be one possibility since he now has this personal vendetta against all the kages and as revenge for the Uchiha. Naruto or Kakashi might do i because he's evil and they know they want to. Tobi/Madara might but I don't see too much of a reason for him to do so. Or it might be his pupil Sai which could be very dramatic. I suppose it could also be one of the other kages or their guards too but I think it will be someone of more importance.

And once he is killed someone is going to have to take his place. Kakashi and Naruto are main candidates. I sort of get the feeling that Naruto is going to end up dieing to save Sasuke though, and they are going to give Naruto the title of kage because of everything he did for Konoha but he'll never actually get to serve the part.

Wouldn't it be amazing if Kishimoto just released like 10 chapters one week!? That would be AMAZING.

Eh, the Sasuke part of the story has been way too much about Taka as a whole and not enough about Sasuke accomplishing anything. It's like 3 steps forward, 4 steps back, 2 steps forward, 1 step back, 6 steps forwards, 8 steps back, etc etc etc. Sasuke's goal and the ends to which he'll go to complete his goal have changed so many times in the past 40 chapters, it's just annoying. I don't like how wishy-washy it's been as far as his relationship with Taka goes. At first they were just necessary for finding Itachi, then they were valuable comrades, then they are just people who get in his way... it's just not consistent and that annoys me. I just want them gone.

I don't know if Danzou will die, but I do know that it won't be Kakashi or Naruto doing the killing if he does. They are too morally upstanding guys to do something like that. Like it or not, Danzou is their Hokage, and they will swear fealty to him as shinobi of Konoha. They don't have to like him, but they will serve him.

If Danzou is killed, I think it will probably be Sasuke who does the job. After all, an eye for an eye, you need a Sharingan to beat a Sharingan. =p
And he's got the reason and the power, etc, to do it. Though after fighting the Raikage, he should be pressed for chakra, making it difficult to beat Danzou, and then he'd be even more drained, so I don't know how he would fight Naruto after that, but that has to happen soon. Sasuke needs to turn around, see the error of his ways and truly respect what Itachi did for him by working for Itachi's goal of peace, and then go with Naruto to save the ninja world.

I don't know when Kabutomaru will come into play, but Sasuke will have to fight him at some point too. Some people think that Kabuto will be the final villain, but I think that Madara is just in too right a place for anyone else to be the final villain, considering all the mastermind plots that Madara has enacted against all the protagonists as well as Konoha as a village, doubled up with the fact that Madara has serious connections to both of the main characters, Naruto and Sasuke. I mean, if you think about it, he actually sort of killed both of their fathers. Itachi may have brought the blade down, but Madara manipulated it from the very beginning. It's his fault that both Naruto and Sasuke were alone, so I see a team effort to defeating him being the end of the manga.

Denny was saying something similar to that about Naruto dying a long time ago, and I only really have one compelling argument against that: This is Shounen. The protagonist never dies, he only gets stronger in the face of adversity, rises to overcome all obstacles, and saves the world, being placed at the top of command in order to ensure that the peace lasts as long as his life does. Naruto won't die. I don't even think Sasuke will (though there's a higher possibility of that). I believe that in the end, the world will have peace thanks to the efforts of all the members of Team 7, with either Naruto acting as the Hokage, Sasuke as the Police Chief (or something else important) and Sakura pretty much with Tsunade's job of super-medic.

I give Naruto 462 a 10/10.

I don't know why, but I was just really satisfied with the chapter. Juugo's awesome super-cannon, Sasuke's friggin sweet genjutsu that raped Shii, and the lineage of the Rokudou Sennin breaking down into Uchiha and Senju, Sasuke and Naruto's fate... it just worked together well.

I'm hoping that Naruto and Sasuke are the ones to break fate. Yeah, they'll fight, but Sasuke will come around. And no one will be able to stop the combined powers of the Rokudou Sennin in Naruto and Sasuke. Not Madara, and certainly not Kabutomaru.
