The chapter moved the story really fast...
Like others said, it only took a chapter for all of them to meet (which seems unlikely) and they happened to be in the same area. It looks like Kishi is trying to wrap this arc up in a hurry?
Karin gives me the impression that she doesnt really like Sasuke but acts like she does in order to try to take advantage of him somehow...
Sakura was the one who was worried the most about the safety about traveling alone...thats probably because she knows that she's pretty weak compared to the others?

Anyway good chapter, can't wait for next one
