@Kirin-san, I always kind of liked Sakura's and sasuke's relationship (mostly because Sasuke kept trying to get Sakura to hate him--- which is my interpretation of all the horrible things he did to her, to cut off their bonds, even though some of the things he did are pretty horrid--- but she stuck it through and didn't let him screw off even more), but Karin's and Sasuke's just isn't quite my cup of tea, unfortunately.

Karin herself is a pretty awesome chick, but her actions (whatever she was going to do to sasuke/seemingly not even having one bit of hesitation towards sasuke when he returns) speak for themselves. I wish she was shown just leaving Konoha with Suigetsu (coughcoughsuikarin=otpcoughcough) and Jugo or something. Too bad Taka just dissapeared, they were a cute team.

Anyways, the final battle, although it was pretty slow during the first part, was so incredibly horribly real during the last of it. It wasn't just interaction based on watery dialogue or something like that, but actually them speaking to each other. If there was any moment in the series that the characters felt truly real, it was 697 & 698 (although I like the ending).
