Again I am going out of my way to reply before reading any of the other replies. I don't want my opinion to be influenced by anyone else.
This chapter was...
Sorry I just had to pause for about a minute and just think about how to put it into words.
Still thinking.....
It's bad! I don't like it. Sasuke needs to die. I am more sure now than ever before. Ok, I can kind of understand him switching sides. Or at least doing it for now. But I can't see him now declaring that he's going to be HOKAGE and to be about as SMUG about it as... I don't even know what I can't compare him to anyone else. He has some balls. After the things hes done he should at most be able to save everyone here, but with the help of Naruto and everyone else. And beg that hes allowed to return to the village and support Naruto as the next Hokage seeing as hes the only one who never gave up on him. And also because Naruto has been sacrificing everything for his friends!
And Sasuke did nothing! Oro summoned the kage! Oro even was the one to bring them to the area and everything to do it. And sugetsu was the one who found the note. After Sasuke abandoned them! Sasuke even tried to kill or abandon most of his friends or allies even outside of the leaf. What experience does he have being a kage?
And shame on you Naruto for calling Sakura your girlfriend. I think it would have possibly made a more interesting and sweet moment if you said something like "shes more like my sister." or anything else. I know there probably not going to pair Naruto up with Sakura. But what more does Hinata have to do!?
And the whole Minato buzzing with Perfect Kyuubi mode has me a little confused and disappointed as well. Unless I don't understand the implications behind how or why he can do that? Is he pulling it from Naruto via the seal or something? Because last time I checked he did not have the Kyuubi sealed inside himself. And even if he did I thought Narutos form was extra special because he also had Uzumaki bloodline inside himself and you know the actual Kyuubi. Which I figured made Naruto even closer to the sage of the six paths. Because he would have the 9-Tails and the other beasts to make up his version of the juubi. But on top of that he has Uzumaki.
This chapter was like an onion it had layers to it. My brain automatically ignored segments of it because it was still trying to fathom the other parts. This is defiantly one I'm going to have to re-read in the near future when I'm less pissed off.
Now excuse me I'm going to go read Bleach to feel better! I NEVER thought I would have to say that. God if Bleach is just as bad and it might be. One Piece may be the only good thing this week.
Everyone is entitled to there own opinions. And okay I can kind of see how Minato can use the cloak. Still I dislike that it looks as powerful as Narutos. But Tsunade CAN'T show up and fight. If she does I will be mad. After the attack of pain she was out of commission for quite some time. I guess I would be alright if she showed up but so long as she can't fight all that much. Or if she shows up as a none combatant. Plus I also see this as a moment for Sakura to shine... or do something. Tsunade should be dead even by this series ways of doing things. But yes I agree with the others I don't like Minato using the cloak and Sakura should be extremely useless here.
Yeah I'm feeling sick right now. This may be my least favorite chapter of Naruto, or my least favorite in a LONG, LONG TIME! I would rather have Gaara be the Hokage! Yes not even the supreme kage or leader. I mean the Hokage that's how much I dislike the mere aspect of Sasuke being the Hokage.
I would rather have Gaara be like "Yo... I'm now a leaf Nin because I like leafs... they are pretty as they fall from trees." I don't know why I just made Gaara mentally handicap but that would be less offensive and stupid.
Ebisu is more deserving as the title Hokage than Sasuke. I think that turtle that Gai summons is more fitted as Kage than Sasuke. At least for the foreseeable future. Maybe 5-10 years down the road Sasuke may be able to function as kage. Maybe!!! Probably not though.
