Its for these reasons that I don't think Sasuke is giong to end up going after the eight tails at all. I think this is where he will attempt tp userp madara and get to the nine-tails first.

Or he may get the 8-tail very quickly and then sit on it as a sort of baragining chip . . .

Either way, Sasuke is going to have to confront Naruto again, but the whole point of this set up is to give both Naruto (And Sakura) an opertunity to show they can develop enough to at least have a reasonable chance against Sasuke.

Kishi can't do that if the village gets bum-rushed right off the bat.

I get that, but Akatsuki are only about to move. They are not anywhere near Konoha yet. They will probably wait for Naruto to leave the village and then strike. The risk is too high if they infiltrate the village.
Though if they do assault the village, Tsunade will probably die.
Kishi has it planned out, so don't worry. Maybe Sasuke won't even go that far as to reach the elders, maybe he changes his mind before or something.
I have faith that the next arc will be really good.

Naruto has to leave it's already set up i mean you got Gamabuntan,Sage toad,Sage Toads escort,and the Scroll Toad.. They already told Tsunade about the chosen thing meaning they already got plans for this kid... Notice how kishi didn't mention aka in his interview and was specific to say "naruto gotta wait" . That's because naruto will leave and akatsuki's plans will be on hold while kishi writes more about sasuke,kakashi,and sakura.... That doesn't mean we won't see aka and naruto at all just means they won't have any part of the story... It will be like when goku goes away basically.

I also have this thing in my head that kishi said sakura needs to grow up perhaps sasuke kills tsunade while trying to get to the other ups tells her to not interfere but as hokage she must she fights him and dies i mean let's face it both naruto and sasuke are equipped to beat her sasuke now even more with mks...

This way sakura gives up on sasuke ..... when naruto comes back it all changes and he too forgets sasuke.....


Anyways thats the way i see it for now...


Edit: it's actually sad now that the only way these kids grow up is when someone close to them dies i mean why like that i wouldn't mind having 1 sannin stick around we already lost 2 and 1 of them was most ppl's favorite sannin/character..

We've always seen a pretty weak naruto around sasuke,after he comes back from toad training,i believe they will face off .This time naruto a lot more confident with loads more power.Sort of like vegeta coming out of nowhere when he first ascended,and saving goku.

it's not that he is weak we never saw him in a 1 on 1 fully all his skill we never saw him 100% i mean if you look at it naruto hasn't been 100% since the timeskip started...

Deidara arc - he was chasing through the woods way to fast even kakashi said relax, and right before he met deidara he ended up fighting itachi's 30% self... then chasing deidara again then going 2 tails and drainign even more of his power..

Sasuke oro arc - he went 4 tails lost half his energy blacked out then kept going through a forest running even though yamato said you are in no shape to go on.. then he fought kabutoa bit using rasengan and kage bushinn
by the time he met sasuke he was trained fully it was even said actually

Kakuzu arc - was training non stop before ariving there already beat up from the training....


I mean this kid hasn't been at full power since the timeskip which is why it bugs me a lot when ppl say he is weak in comparison to sasuke actually currently i would say they are very = even before this they were evenly matched naruto just didn't have the chance to fight in a 1 on 1 like sasuke at his full power..

ToaD

I think they were even before the time skip but as of right now Sasuke is probably stronger becuase he learned forbidden jutsu with Orochimaru. And yea it really sucks that we can't see Naruto at his best but once hes done training it should be pretty sick.

Sharingan Lord

So, wait. When Sasuke says "elders", that's just Danzou and the other two who were teammates with the Sandaime, right?

Namikaze85

Most probably

Witchking

True true ! But at their first meeting,they made sasuke look way stronger.Im going with the flashy naruto coming in time and looking exactly like his father(in the personality/power/calmness sense,)

I can't wait for the next episode....hope naruto and the toads goin for special training ... sasuke and akatsuki will slash each other before they attack konoha...still dont get it what mandara really want...and by the way how is pain doin?

mrpiimpnn

The part about Madara being mizukage shocked me abit, and the fact that the toads just now go to Naruto is great because now he can get them to become one with him just like Jiraiya and he can get alot stronger and soon defeat his enemies .

team_seven

i wonder how will naruto looks like when he combines his body with the two toad like jiraya did in the fight with pain....ahahaha

Oh geez, I hope he doesn't get that far. It be sort of unlike him I think to just gather all the same techniques. I think even though Naruto may learn a few things from the toads, the most important thing-and maybe all he'll have time for in the series - is to learn about how to properly seal/control the chakra of the kyuubi.
