after spending about 100 chapters just on sasuke's escape, do you really think kishimoto's suddenly gonna fast forward all the fights? i think if we're lucky, we'll see 2 fights per chapter. otherwise, i think kishi's gonna intersperse the whole sitch w/ naruto and co. w/ the clone fights (which are quite cliched, really =P)

well, whatever. we should be able to get a general idea of what direction kishimoto's gonna go in with this with the next chapter =P i'm guessing 3 or 4 more chapters of this. and that's being hopeful hahah
