chuunin_archive | The greatest chapter spoiler ever

WOW, this place looks all spiffy now. Multiple mods too, rock on(Are you still taking applications? That's my dream job). I haven't visited LJ since that Harry Potter book came out(fear of spoiler bitches, y'know?). Anyways, this summary sounded fake at first, but there have been multiple confirmations and discussions on Japanese boards, so I'm now a believer. It will make you come.

So, uh, culled from multiple posts:

Chapter is called "Clue", bringing to mind the classic board game, and has Kakashi and Naruto on the cover. Chiyo and Sakura are both alive. Sakura wants to go back to the village and and make more antidote for Chiyo(she never took hers), but she refuses. Sasori dies(:_:), but gives some info about Orochimaru-sama first. Orochimaru is raising a student in the Sound Village who will become his new container and who will also be the next Eight-tails Jinchuuriki. Sasori also has a spy working for Orochimaru, who will be waiting for him at the Bridge Of Heaven And Earth in Hidden Grass Village. Kakashi's eye is changing into a ring shape, neither the regular Sharingan or the Mangekyou. Next chapter will reveal his new technique.

Go to this thread to read all the posts and discussion.

My thoughts:

Fuck yes, Chiyo lives! She and Sakura are so sweet and kickass together. ^_^ I hope she starts training Kankuro to become an uber-badass with those ten puppets. She'll probably just give her lifeforce to revive Gaara, though. :/

OroOroOroOroOroOroOroOroOroOroOroOro! Please return soon! Kabuto too, I've been in withdrawal.

Is Orochimaru-sama currently a Jinchuuriki? Is Kabuto? Oro seems believable(lots of past info supporting that theory drug up in the thread), but that would mean Itachi is stronger than a Sannin with a Bijuu inside? Kabuto is also possible, but that would mean he's basically expected to sacrifice himself alongside Sasuke to create Uber-Oro.

Hidden Grass Village! Spies! Possible Zetsu tie-in?

Kakashi's eye...there's been some speculation that it could be the same swirly-shit as Akatsuki Leader has. Deidara's time is running out.

Anyways...glad this arc is wrapping up, and looking forward to where they're heading next.
