Yeah.. It's to bad Naruto interupted Shikamaru.. The best thing would have been that Sakura had heard that it was because of Sasuke that everyone is in the hospital.. And that Sasuke personal put Naruto in that hospital..

But what i dont understand is, why oh why did not Shikamaru get that medical training?? All the things she said (well exept chakara control, witch we dont know and have not been proven wrong) that a medical ninja student needed, Shikamaru had.. Sure all those thing Sakura had to but Shikamaru was the first one to bring it up.. But i know it's better that Sakura becomes one, because Shikamaru at least have some talent and should probably keep train his family jutsus.. But i just though it was unfair..

I hope since Sakura is going to train under Tsunade that Jiraiya will visit Naruto and then continue training Naruto.. Maybe help him control that new Kyubi-state.. Or teach him some new high level jutsu.. Maybe some ninjutsu or genjutsu this time.. not something that you have to use in close combat.. Because right now everybody is a close combat fighter, exept Shikamaru.. Because it looks like medical ninjas is also close combat based on Tsunade and Kabuto's fight so Sakura will to become CC-fighter.. Oh and Shino is still to much of an mystery to know exaktly what he will do if faced with a hard opponent.. Or Kakashi is his original teacher and now Sasuke is gone.. Maybe he get's training from him now..

And for the next chapter.. I can only guess for ppl.. Itachi, if they mean that Naruto have seen him before.. Or the new guy (I think it's going to be him).. Because there is no reason to let him make an apperance like that and then he will not show up in the near chapters..

And i think he is going to show up beside Naruto in his hospital bed or if he have gone out, because i think he will introduce himself.. Or somethink before acually begin the hunt.. Or else he could just have attacked Kakashi when Kakashi was alone, far from backup and had to carry a injured Naruto.. That would have been childsplay for a guy like him (for anyone of them i think).. Sure Kakashi could put up some resistance but i think he is under the members in strenght.. And with those conditions he would have gone down.. Well it's going to be intresting to se what happens..
