Long awaited manga discussion

[nazonatte69.livejournal.com]

Sooooooooooooooooo......sorry folks for not updating so regularly, I had some personal issues to take care of, but I am back. SOOO here's what's happened in the manga thus far:

-Kakashi and Co. meetup with Itachi clone (which is actually a Sand Nin)
-Gai and Co. meetup with Kisame clone (which is actually a Sand Nin)
-Both clones are defeated by Konoha and then discovered by Zetsu, who eats them
-Gai uses the 6th gate
-Naruto is trapped in Itachi's genjutsu and imagines Lvl. 2 Sasuke taking over his body
-Obaasan is revealed as the one who sealed Shukaku in Gaara
-Naruto has a flashback about Gaara's past and his past.....very sad and lonely
-Gai and Co. reach the barrier first
-Kakashi and Co. meet up with them eventually
-Neji believe what's happening within the walls
-Abstracting the Shukaku is ALMOST done

Predictions:

-Akatsuki member(s) will come out of hiding and attack them all
-Sasuke will appear, after following one of the two groups
-2 or more Akatsuki members will be taken down
-Gaara will come to and not die
-Obaasan will die in the process of defeating Sasori
-Jiraiya will show up
-Asuma and Co. will show up
