This thread is pretty dead... but I guess the chapters over the last months haven't exactly been all that interesting.
But anyway, just read the latest chapter and overall it was pretty meh. Naruto's little smack down at the end was nice to see, but that was about it. Well, at least we now know what the handshake Naruto and Sasuke did at the Valley of the End meant. But really, leave it to Kishimoto to have the fox be the voice of logic and reason in the world, for once, vocalizing the thoughts of just about everyone who reads the manga including myself, only to have Naruto shut it down.
