I had not really thought of a time jump but since so many people think there's going to be one soon then I'm sure that there will be one. I hope the time jump is soon and that Naruto becomes the ultimate bad ass of the show because, Im really tired of seeing that arrogant, stuck up Sakuke being the tough cool guy. I cant wait to see the rematch fight of Naruto vs Sasuke, I want to see Naruto completely give in to Kyuubi and beat the crap out of Sasuke and make him realize that he's not as special as he thinks he is and of course Sakura will be right there to witness it since she did say that she would be going with him next time. I think the guy that will appear next to Naruto in the next chapter will be that mysterious akatsuki guy. I think Naruto will end up being trained again by Jiraiya but wouldn't be cool if akatsuki takes Naruto and trains him, then when he's finished training he goes back to the village and sees everyones shocked faces when the they see his new terrifying awesome fused(naruto chakra+kyuubi chakra)power. I think I speak for most people when I say it's about time they show a totally out of control berserk Naruto when he uses Kyuubi's chakra.
