Bad news fanboys... Sasuke is not a god. He's not a Marvel Super Hero. He's a Genin, just as Naruto is. I don't feel the tension of threatening loss of life that Kabuto gave Naruto from Aoi. This arc for me was better for character development. But seriously, the Rasengan variety was neat. That is what Naruto does with his techniques, he takes something he has learned and gives it a new spin. Hell, I'm waiting to see him do something like take a Rasengan and just throw it, given the way he gives twists to techniques. Maybe even have multiple ones going and just juggle some folks around, even.

As for the fight everyone is waiting on here, I have three words for you:

Guy vs. Kakashi.

Don't get your hopes up. This show has a bad way of getting you excited for fights that don't ever come around. All of the cool "scenes" could be flashbacks instead of an intense fight. I'm sure it'll have good character to it, which this show has, but I'm keeping my expectations low for the fight.
