wow great chaptrer(read it yesterday) shikamaru is badass his new jutsu was kind of cool and he is damn smart, he gotta have studied battle tacitcs or soemthign cause he wasnt this good in the chuunin exam.

i kind of think sasuke will fight naruto when naruto tells him to come back and sasuke discovers the powers he got form his new seal. if naruto says "orochimaru is gonna kill you he just lies to you" sasuke will probably say somethign like "you are just saying that cause you dont want me to be strogner than you" or something like that.
