Gah! Holy shit, things are beginning to heat up. I look forward to the next chapter and can only hope it comes out soon.
I am a little worried about several of Naruto's relationships though. My number one concern being Kiyomi. I'm really hoping you resolve the issues they have soon. Another concern is Anko. She hasn't appeared much recently and her distancing from Naruto has me worried.
Other than that, this was an excellent chapter and I can't wait for the next one.
