What would make it great would be if Naruto actually followed Sasuke's movements when he put his arm around him, and then next chapter Sasuke moves to stab Naruto with the sword and Naruto uses the "yellow flash" technique to dodge it and Sasuke is unable to follow Naruto's movements, and even has trouble while using the Sharingan. That would spark new interest in the manga for me.
I really hope Naruto is not able to do the "yellow flash" because that was strictly the Fourth's technique and was infamous for using it.
