So much love for Hinata. I'm...not happy that she went down so quickly, but this was a pretty epic moment of awesome anyway, since she, out of the entire population of Konoha, full of badass ninjas, got her ass out there to help Naruto out.

Exactly. I wish we'd had a chapter of her fighting (because her powers looked freaking badass) but what we got was damn good.

Personally, I'm hoping for Sasuke to die in that semi-lame 'my death redeems my honor!' sort of way.

Yes. That would be bad. However, Uchiha Sakura would be SO MUCH worse.
