So I take it that summoning a giant frog is less taxing. Well Gamakichi going from a frog that could sit on Naruto's head to a giant is pretty impressive though expected.
Also I like the idea of Sakura actually summoning Katsuya and dooming the Kages now 😐

Ino is all support, albeit one of the best support, so staying in B is probably good enough. Shikamaru should at least be even with Chouji though,
I don't think she's overall any weaker, though. Heck, she's been having more contribution than Shikamaru. I'll remind you her possessions of Kinkaku, of deflecting Juubi's blasts twice, of possessing two Zetsu at once, of fighting inside Choji....

It is certainly nicer to sit on the outside of an argument against you regarding the abilities of Naruto characters. 🙂
Spoiler:
That's a compliment regarding your knowledge, in case that did not come through.
Originally posted by Q99But her possession is very much a support move. Her body is vulnerable, and she gets hurt if the body she's fighting in gets hurt. She's can't go into a battle where she is outnumbered and use it unless she gets an ambush on someone. She has yet to do her fathers mind crush technique if I recall. If she had that then I'd say she should be moved up, but when her greatest techniques needs someone guarding her body I don't know.

Support is stuff like healing and sensory and communication. What she's got is a very powerful offensive move, with drawbacks. It's more akin to a heavy artillery move than a support move.
It worked on a *4 tailed out* Kinkaku.
And she can use her possessed body to protect her normal body, and she can do multiple bodies at once... and I will note, the 'snag two bodies' jutsu doesn't travel in a strait line, it can be aimed in a curve.
And she's been using it with split-second timing recently, I don't think she needs ambush so much any more. She's snagged Tobi twice.

Yes, but let's not act like she has been alone when she tagged Tobi. He was having to focus pretty hard to control the Juubi and worry about hundreds of other people besides Ino. If she were by herself, she is not doing that to Tobi twice. Besides, it seems he can break from it rather easily as it only lasted for a moment, as would all high level characters at the rating you are suggesting imo. Against chumps, it's a pretty good move.
The S-class Kinkaku *couldn't*, though. Meaning even powerful characters aren't protected.
Tobi's an Uchiha and tied to the Juubi- the Juubi link might've done it.
So it works on high-level people, it's just there are defenses.

It just occurred to me that Kishi probably introduced the absolutely astounding Foe Yay between Madara and Hashirama to try an eclipse the NaruSasu Foe Yay.
Yea. It went from, "Naruto and Sasuke are totally into each other..."
to
"Wow, yea, THAT'S what being totally into each other looks like!"
I don't care if you read these spoilers: just read the chapter before reading the next words in my post.
Looks like Sasuke is still being a biitch...maybe.
But Sakura appears to be on Tsunade's level with the healing shit. I still think Sakura is behind Tsunade in that she takes a lot longer to build up her chakra than Tsunade.
Well that and I'll hazard a guess that Sakura being cut in half wouldn't be helpful.
And I think that actually was Katsuya. Weird.
Spoiler:
Obviously the Juubi won't be stopped by that but it was a particular nice and I like how Jugo is just like "Sasuke is probably trying something but Idk bro."Fun action and the reveal of Orochimaru arriving at the Kages. If they're still alive and kicking. Then again they could have just left since Orochimaru only explicitly mentions Tsunade.
The chapter was alright but feels like something is missing.
So did Sakura just doom Tsunade and friends or what? Also I still think she's S- but only because she lack the full mastery of the seal like Tsunade: by that I mean she doesn't ap[ear to have the Part 2 version Tsunade showed us during the Madara fight.
The cricket momment of silence with Minato's goofy name for the combo attack was also funny.
Overall this chapter was okay. Not great but a good read.
Nice review Aura. I find it interesting that Karin is with Orochimaru as well. You'd think she'd want to be with Sasuke and that it would make more sense for her to go to the battlefield where her healing abilities would be useful. Does this suggest that Orochimaru's going to use her to heal Tsunade instead?
I guess he could have just used her as a sensor to find Tsunade but I still think its suspicious.
I agree with you two, Auraangel and Nephthys, something is up. as for Karin, well, it seemed like her fondness for Sasuke has gone down a bit and understandably so after being nearly killed by him so Orochimaru probably used her in this state to find Tsunade. as for the other kages, maybe Orochimaru could have just been ignoring them? it's not like he hasn't ignored others who were within the vicinity before sometimes.
LOL@Sakura ****ing things up for Tsunade and Orochimaru saving the day with the walking dat ass senzu bean.
I hope the absence of Gamabunta does not mean/imply/suggest/whatever the return of Ero Senin.
Jiraiya's death is one of the finest moments in this manga. I will drop this shit and go on a rampage if Kishi ruins it. uhuh
