We will just have to wait and see I guess...

I just hope he gets out of that damn barrel soon. He is my second favorite character in the manga and I am hoping him and Naruto team up on Kimimaro, if Naruto hasn't beaten him by the time Sasuke pops out.

We have to find out after all, which is is stronger, the Heaven Seal or Gaia Seal.

I don't think Kishimoto would leave this unanswered, so maybe Naruto might lose at first, then Kimimaro would fight Sasuke, then beat him. Then they would join forces against Kimi.
