That pretty much sums it up.
So what info might Anko learn that is so damning to Danzou that he's considering having her taken out? We know that Danzou is a shady character, but we don't have a lot of specifics on his dirty deeds. We're going to see a big revelation about Danzou's past by the time this is done.
I had my doubts before, but now that Kabuto has been mentioned I can see all the loose threads tying up. This might just be the last arc. I wouldn't believe that last week.

Like I said before, unless Kishi is planning on making Danzo hokage for like a month only, then it can't be. Keep in mind, from the very start his main goal has always been to make Naruto hokage. That hasn't changed.
His goal was to have naruto acknowledged by the village. This happened in the previous arc.

And since when was this a new arc? Because by your definition, even if when pein died, what marks the new arc? I mean what is this arc then? The kage arc? The sasuke retrieval arc?
I believe we are on thearc.
Seriously? Are you really going to debate where one arc ends and another begins and what it would be called? Really?
The previous arc ended when Naruto came back to the village after beating Pein and got his props. The current arc began with the words "Danzou, you are the 6th Hokage."
There's an election coming up and there is potentially damning information concerning Danzou and Orochimaru. Sounds like the perfect mix for a very short reign as Hokage. I hope we get an update on Tsunade's condition soon.

I'm surprised this came up because Suigetsu has mentioned this a couple of times before. Here for example, so yeah apparently there are seven swords that are passed down from generation to generation and Suigetsu was next in line to receive Zabuza's sword which is why he acquired it as soon as Sasuke freed him. It was also mentioned in other chapters that I can't be bothered to look for right now, that Suigetsu's goal is to collect all seven swords and he has an older brother who either currently is one of the seven or was one at one point. Something like that.

Sapphire is awesome!
Yeah i think something was mentioned when Sasuke battled Itachi and Suigetsu and Kisame waited outside. Remember Suigetsu wanted to battle Kisame. And then after Madara had convinced Sasuke of Itachis past and his love for his little brother, and Kisame and Madara stood in the way, Suigetsu pointed a sword at Kisame and said something like Kisame was his target.
I'm also surprised no one remembers. Mostly because it was mentioned in last weeks episode of Naruto Shippuuden. Infact it's the exact same thing that Abdula linked to that was brought up. Am i one of the few that started to watch Shippuuden again after the fillers where over(yeah yeah, i know it was a bit of filler in the episode to stretch the chapter out)?
And as for what Anko could find out about Danzo and Oro, Danzo ordered Sai to deliver that report on the ANBU operatives identitys (or whatever it was) which he did right after Naruto in Kubi-mode had weaken Oro enough for Sai to approach him. I think that would be the damaging information he was talking about. Kabuto probably knows all about it. He was Oro's right hand man. And even if Oro kept it a secret from his pet, can Danzo really take that chance? Also i would bet it would be alot harder to get the information on how the restore his arm and eye if Anko captured him, instead of Danzo's ANBU pets doing it and keeping it a secret so they can get whatever they want from him. Might even offer his freedom or something else in trade. Something i bet he could never do if he was officially captured. How would he explain that he let a key figure in Oro's organization free just for his own personal gain.
Personally i hope this isn't the beginning of the end. Maybe it ties up all the plots right now, but i hope that only mark the halfway, and after this we get to see Naruto's quest to stop the chain of hatred and his road to Hokage (still can't believe he can become Hokage at his age, but rather be in the same age that the 4th became one (i know Gaara became one, but they seemed to suffer from weakling Kage's to begin with, something Konoha have not)). Or maybe some new threat rise up in the horizon that will keep it going. And Nruto has not learned to control Kubi yet either. All the other seem to have almost full control over their tailed beasts, and Killerbee even constantly conversed with his beast, like they where true partners. I would like for Naruto to get to that stage before it ends. Or maybe that will be the next big threat. Akatsuki gets destroyed and Madara loose all control over the tailed beasts and they become the new threat, or Madara escapes and somehow managed to unseal Kubi to try and control it with his Sharingan to extract his revenge. And then we have Danzo and Kabuto left in the equation that could be the next big thing to delve deeper into. I think there are alot of things that we haven't even gotten in to yet and there are plenty of things to keep the manga going even after Akasuki is done for, and possibly even after they retrieve Sasuke.
Even though it can be some painful and boring parts where the author gets accused of not having an imagination, i still find the manga highly enjoyable and i still think there are not to many other that could run for this long and still have the potential to get great. I don't think we all sit here right now at 450+ chapter and continue to read it because it sucks. It might not be at the same level as it was when it started out, but it's still good/great with the potential for awesomeness.
Regarding Anko: Danzou is Hokage now, can't he just... oh, I don't know... order Anko back to the village? Make up some excuse why he needs her in the village, or just tell her he has his own people looking for Kabuto and doesn't want her to get in the way?
Thats seems a lot more logical and simpler than killing her.
Anyone think Chojiro looks like Obito? Atleast the spiky hair, earmuffs, and eye gear. He probably is an Uchiha, too, but can't activate his Sharingan.
Edit: A really smart person neg rep'd me because he or she took this comment in a serious tone. He or she is free to PM me any time so we can discuss all the nuances and idiosyncrasies of facetiousness and sarcasm.

With the Mizukage reveal, I had a split second thought where I thought Tobi was actually a hot woman, him being referred to as Mizukage and all. That really did a mindjob on me.
Damn Mizukage's hot!
The tall guy also has his right eye covered. How suspicious.
So I guess all 3 of those Mist nins are Madara.
Awesome.
<@Terra> he told me this, "man actually meeting terra is so fucking big", and he started crying. Then he bought me hot dogs
Yeah, that's probably why I didn't remember it. I find Suigetsu about as interesting as wallpaper.
Stop making so much sense. Danzou couldn't be an asshole if he just ordered her back.

Although Danzo has been named Hokage it appears that he wouldn't officially be recognized as Hokage until after the Jounins vote and since most of the village is already suspicious of him, ordering Anko back to the village won't help his cause. Ordering her back to the village when they are on the verge of possibly capturing Kabuto will raise a lot of eyebrows especially if he comes up with some bs excuse. If she dies though, then she was just another ninja who died on a very dangerous mission.

that chojiro fellow looked sweet. it'll be awesome seeing him fight.
ug the whole beating situation was annyoing..next in line, Naruto is top contender for the Jesus position, I think that his answer is somewhat correct. he's taking the hatred from the mist village and when time comes, he'll take all the hatred he gathered and turn it into positive hatred, which will allow him to cancel out the negative hatred that made Sasuke so strong.
it's like Naruto's trying to do this whole humbleness, take-all-the-hate-on-him approach, but in the end it's just seems so selfish.
if he really wanted to be humble, then he'd let them kill his friend. in stead of being extremely selfish and declaring that the hatred has to end at the cloud nins. seriously, he should take the responsibility of ending the hate on himself. let them kill sasuke, and then he should be the one who doesn't retaliate. while then also making sure that his friends don't retaliate. I'd say (well, if killabee was actually dead) that the cloud nins have every right to kill sasuke (if they could), and that naruto, being fair, shouldn't do a thing about it.

There has to be something wrong with this...if he really wanted to be humble, I guess he could wash their feet. I don't think he was going for humble, though. He realized he couldn't sell Sasuke out when it came down to it, but he understood their pain and frustration and was like "You can use me as a punching bag if that makes you feel any better." See, now he shared in their Pain and now they understand eachother *happy family* the end.
Actually, Pandadice brings up a valid point....
Although, I think Kishimoto's flashback to Jiraiya is meant to illustrate that Naruto already made a sacrifice to end the hatred, by choosing not to kill Nagato.

I think the Naruto beating is just a lame setup for a joke. The cloud nins will find out that naruto is one of the most powerful ninjas in Konoha and they'll flip out.

Fixed that for you.
Peace.
