OMG, I just had an awesome thought. Since part of the EMS power is to actually control the Kyuubi, and even though I really don't like Sasuke's recent mega powerups, I thought, wouldn't it be awesome if Sasuke actually destroyed Konoha even worse than Orochimaru and Pain, by actually controlling a fully released Kyuubi/Naruto. Basically a "history repeats itself" attack on Konoha by the Kyuubi, only this time, it's actually Naruto being controlled by Sasuke, instead of just the Kyuubi and Madara.
I just think it would be full of epicness. How would the tables turn after that, lol, I dunno.
Couple of good tidbits on this chapter. Karin interrogation was cool, and hopefully something comes out of that. They pretty much spoiled us from a Naruto and KB encounter, but oh well. The ability to finally use the whole Kyuubi power. And finally, the 5 dead dudes. I'm not a fan of rehashing dead characters, but for some reason, I just felt like.. "OMG, this could actually be interesting!". I guess it could be by the fact it was done by Kabuto and not Madara.
Good chapter all around IMO. Although Naruto is beginning to look like he's maxing out on power already. Can't think of any other powerup after the Kyuubi is fully unleashed. Maybe the series is really winding down to a conclusion?
