Forget the stone heads - Naruto's jacket is gone!...

Anyways, what about the next chapter? I'm curious as to what Sakura's going to do. She may or may not even be able to get to the Final Valley in time, since it's so far away, unless she woke up at some previous point in the battle and Kishi was only able to show that here. Even more so for Kakashi, who can barely stand. We all know Naruto isn't going to die. But we also know Sasuke isn't backing down. He backed down the last time not out of pity (which is the only thing that could stop him now) but because he didn't want the Mangekyo the way Itachi got it. It's no Naruto vs. Neji thing either, with the Shadow Clone at all, because the Shadow Clones don't have Kurama in them; only Naruto does. Maybe Naruto intercepts the attack, but he's too weak to do anything. The only thing I see happening is if Sakura buys Naruto time, despite how farfetch'd it is. After all, she can't possibly side with Sasuke now. It's over. Sasuke's probably gonna get captured in some way.
