I was afraid Sakura's master plan would be something terrible like this - and she certainly didn't let my expectations down. Technically speaking the fight of Sai vs the rest was the weakest part, though. They fought like second year ninja academy kids, not like the kind of experiences (named) ninja they should already be. But I guess the studio didn't want to waste a single extra yen in that fight of utterly no meaning beyond serving as a plot device allowing Sakura to continue alone.

Naruto still being all emo and sleeping through this all was the funniest part, no doubt. Almost as funny was Yamato even bothering to suggest Naruto should obey the orders and return straight to Konoha. But I guess he just had to say it to be able to deny responsibility if questioned later.

Maybe Sasuke will take Kakashi's sharingan now? He should be in no condition to fight even against Kakashi, whom he would be able to beat using his left hand alone under optimal conditions, but who knows. That would be pretty interesting plot development and would surely build the pressure on Naruto's shoulders almost up to sanity breaking levels.
