I liked this chapter. The seven swordsman is obviously there to show how awesome Kakashi and Gai are, though one of them may well die. It was Kakashi last time, so this time it might be Gai.

Can't wait to see zombie Itachi, it would be awesome if he had anticipated a potential resurection by Orochimaru and planned accordingly. Perhaps Naruto's crow is for this, and not for Sasuke as everyone has been thinking.
