First battle with the ambush teams

Akatsuki loses Deidara (Who is awesome i.m.o) and Sasori while the ninja alliance loses a few scrub ninjas

Second battle Akatsuki loses Haku, Zabuza while the ninja alliance loses a few more scrub ninjas

I expect the 3rd battle to go the same. Gaara is pretty unstoppable no matter how strong this zombie ninja crap may be.

First two chapters will be Kishi pumping how bad ass the bad guys are. 3rd chapter will be Gaara and whoever else whipping their ass while having some cheesy 80's wrap up with emotions and feelings.

I assume after that each of the generals will get their own time.

Then Akatsuki will say something like "Just as we planned" and blow up some more scrub ninja and some semi minor ninja.

I miss the good old days when Pein would show up and people would die.
