It felt like happened way more stuff in this chapter than in the last 12 of them.
Last 12:
Oro x Sarutobi fight resulting: dead of the 3rd and handicapped Oro.
Fight between Naruto and Gaara. Result: tie but Gaara apparently has a change of heart
Invasion of Konoha
Defeat of the Sand and Sound.
Last chapter:
Sasuke sulken, whining and cussing
Oro sulken, whining and cussing even more. Besides bitching and making death treats.
Naruto getting over it, ready for more trouble.
Kazekage found as dead meat or even carrion. Baki cussing and realizing they've been screwed by Oro.
Convo between Jiraiya and the two Hokage advisors.
Arrival of Itachi and associate.
Asuma and Kurenai on a date (finally)
Fight between Asuma/Kurenai/Itachi/Kisame.
