Nice chapter. Despite the lack of action we get some more insights into how Konoha as a village views Naruto. We get some nice development for Closet pervert, and I was very surprised to see him stand up to Pein of all people!

Another interesting technique pein showed off. Reminded me of the 3rd's death god technique he used with the whole soul sucking thing.

And Konohamaru vs pein? Man this is getting epic.
