They said Sakuras knowledge on genjutsu is the highest so yeah.. If anyone could disspell it, its gonna be her. Also with how lazy Shik is maybe he just thought "hmm, I was in the mood for a nap either way might aswell just let the jutsu get me"

I wish Gaara had finished his little evolution. Naruto got to do his while fighting Neji. Gaara should have been able to do his too.

As for Akamaru fainting... its like a shockgun or something it spreads and akamaru was ontop of kiba.

I Hope we get to see Gai or some of the other jounins in action for a change.
