I'd say shikamaru stands out the most. Chouji has improved but he's nowhere near as strong as when he was on pills. They really haven't shown too much of the other ones, which is too bad because I was really hoping Shino would get some action in this arc. Also, I'm am sick of sasuke. Really, he might as well be the main character because he's getting way more time than naruto. Oh, and Kabuto has gone crazy...er...
lol sasuke aint getting more attention lol it seems like it but comeon lol on manga he got a tottalla of what 1 2 volumes lol i mean its weird cause u wanna say naruto is classic. with having friends helpinng one another our their is a greater power blah blah but their are so many lose ends AND WE DONT KNOW WHAT THE HELL THEY GONNA DO
