Naruto 481

I'll be sure to root for you when you leave
Summary:
Sasuke hits it then quits it
In a flashback we learn that Danzo is actually a real Konoha patriot; unfortunately he is a crappy leader. During an ambush, Tobirama’s team was forced to have someone volunteer as a decoy/sacrifice to save the rest of the team. When Danzo hesitated to volunteer, his rival Hiruzen volunteered without missing a beat. Tobirama overruled both of them and volunteered himself, appointing Hiruzen as the 3rd hokage. Back in the present, a mortally wounded Danzo attempts to trap Madara (who moves in to take Shisui’s eye) in a Ura Shishou Fuuin jutsu (reverse four symbols seal). As expected, the jutsu merely eats away a big chunk of the bridge and is too slow to hurt Sasuke and Madara, who decide to move on to Konoha next.
Sakura is always trying to put me to sleep with her boring fights
Meanwhile, Kiba succeeds in tracking down Sasuke, and Sakura immediately tries to put everyone to sleep with a sleep bomb. Unfortunately for her, her reflexes are slow as hell, and Sai easily stops her. Kakashi actually ordered Sai to prevent the entire team from engaging Madara and Sasuke, so it looks like we might get a little bit of in-fighting (but probably not).
Reaction:
I didn’t think Sasuke would really sacrifice Karin, and for most of the chapter I figured he was just saying those harsh words to Karin so that Danzo would toss her away. After checking the panels a few times, however, it really looks like Karin would have been sucked into Danzo’s final jutsu, since the battle took place in the middle of the bridge. What a waste of a healer.
As for Sakura… she just makes my head hurt sometimes. She’s as dumb as Naruto when it comes to non-book stuff, and she really has a poor understanding of her mediocre (at best) combat abilities. Could she even beat Akamaru? He’d probably pee all over her and beat her up without breaking a sweat.
