Naruto 484 - Team 7

-->Summary<-- The chapter starts with Sakura using her medical jutsu on Karin, who while fighting for her life is also fighting the urge to cry with her healer. The scene switches to the encounter between sensei and student, which to no one's surprise results in the re-emergence of Susanoo. Sasuke's dialog as always comprised of bashing his opponent quoting his Clan while Kakashi attempts to give him a final lecture on changing his ways before its too late. This further enraged Sasuke whose Susanoo morphed/evolved into a form much alike the appearance it had when Itachi was it's wielder.

Susanoo fires one of the mystical arrows at Kakashi, who to no one's surprise uses his sharingan to warp the arrow away. Sasuke's only thought of the action is that Kakashi should thank the Uchiha for his powers. About to attack again, we see the battles and the constant use of Susanoo taking its toll on Sasuke, whose sharingan is deactivated by force.

Switching to Naruto, we see him hurrying to catch up but more importantly, he is going over all the things people told him about Sasuke and his unchanging simplistic view of the world.

Sakura attempting to finish the job again sneaks up on her former teammate only to hesitate at the final moment allowing Sasuke to grab her and try again to finish HIS attempt to end his former teammates life. Which led to one of the biggest surprises with Naruto arriving in tremendous speed, swiping Sukara away from Sasuke's hand mid swipe!

Team 7 complete......!

---------------------------------------

Kakashi - Being the accomplished shinobi he is, he attempts to plead one last time with his lost student. Interestingly here is that his last encounter with his students showed him having to use more and more of his power to come out on top. At this point, he needs to go all out to keep up. All this just after 3 - 4 years. He seems prepared to do what is necessary for the safety of Konoha.

Sakura - One of the most conflicted characters (ever!) continues her attempt and failure to complete the task mainly due to her lack of resolve. Where she goes from here is anyone's guess. Like the other female featured in this chapter, their feelings for Sasuke keeps them blinds them from seeing what he really thinks of them.

Sasuke - Continuing his rant about the Uchiha, he descends further into hatred as his eyes go with him. Its clear to anyone who's been following the series that he will eventually take his brother's eyes to 'see' his mission to its completion. It's evident that his clan is all he is concerned with, for instance, mention of the smiling faces of the rookie 9 led straight back to hate on his clan. If that's not confused, I don't know what is.

Karin - Even after nearly killed by her unrequited love interest, she still regarded Sakura as the enemy, who was in the process of HEALING her. Since she may survive, it would be interesting to see what happens to her now as she has been revealed as one of Konoha's lost children.

Naruto - 10 points for his arrival in this one. No one thought he would arrive while Sasuke was still there. Most thought Kishi would continue his cat and mouse game with the meeting of the 2 main characters. Where he goes from here is another toss up but one thing is for certain, his attempt on Sakura's life should not go unpunished.
