I just hope the upcoming fight is truly epic. This series is begging for a non Naruto/Sasuke fight of epic proportions. Hopefully the 2 old characters die (Tsunade and midget kage) and Madara is sealed or something. Shifting the focus back to "that dude". While it would be cool to have zombie Madara roaming around, I just dont see it as part of the big plot.

Kinda sucks that Itachi vs kabutomaru/orochibuto will probably happen after this epic fight, if at all. I wonder where Kakashi fits in all that's currently going on. I'm sure we'll see him "almost" die as usual some time soon.
