well this was a good chapter anyways...

im wondering if and where this chidori has hit naruto...to me most likely around the right hand side of his torso...or even possibly he went inbetween his arm and chest and scraped his skin sending that blood you see on the last page...
making naruto not rely heavily on healing during the battle.
and it also makes some people happy naruto not being impaled and being healed instantaneously by kyubi...

well all shall be revealed next chapter...hopefully

NOW FOR CHAPTER 228!!! SPOILER!! not really

*******
or could it be sasuke's blood after naruto using his claws to slash his throat, leaving sasuke dead and grabing his head for the way back to konoha..
he didnt say he would bring him back in one piece did he? lolz
