Serenphoria Says:

You know, there have been times when I've wanted to say 'Bite me, Sasuke,' but I never ever meant it the way Karin meant it. I'm thinking those oval-shaped dashes on her arm are old bite marks. Ew.

(Sakura gets points for having a much more sophisticated and civilized medi-nin skills.)

Other than the vampire thing, many nice moments in this chapter:

First, very nice team work from Team Sasuke. And I'm very glad to see they are struggling against the eight-tails. It gives the Tailed Beasts the credibility they've been denied thus far because the Akatsuki seem to have such an easy time catching them.

Then there's more endearing froggy master and pupil moments. Whack-a-mole was exactly what I was thinking before Naruto said it! And Naruto gets another indirect bit of acknowledgment (I'm training you because only people who don't give up can become sages. Way to manipulate the boy Yoda Frog!)

Naruto threw himself into the frog oil! He's turning froggy just from the little bit on his arm, so this can't be good. I wonder what he's going to look like when he's using Sage skills and channeling Kyuubi. I'm thinking that his body will get really confused and turn him into a blob or implode or something.

Sigh, and he was growing up so well too.
