I warn you now: I haven't had coffee yet, and I just finished reading, so I'm going to be incoherent.
Yay Sai! I knew you were kickass! Heaven knows that team needs a voice of reason...
Well, Kakashi accepted that crap quickly. "I met the Fourth, and need to go talk to the Raikage." "Oh, okay then. When do we leave?"
So, who thinks one of those people guarding Danzo is Sai's older brother? Anyone? Anyone?
Speaking of Danzo: oh come on, now, Kishi! Are you kidding me? You're going with that cliche'd conspiracy theory? Granted, I still refuse to believe that Danzo is Madara. I'm starting to lean towards Madara's little brother, though. Nobody said that he had to be a good guy, you know? Alternatively, Danzo got a transplant like Kakashi did. Would I be a bad fan if I said I was hoping for that one? We've had enough Surprise Uchiha, I think...
Bad reveals aside, I rather liked the chapter, despite its distinct lack of Sasuke (well, in person. One could argue that Sasuke is actually one of the more prominent characters in it...). Chapters these days seem to be looking up! *knocks on wood*
