I'm agreeing with devon on this one, I too though the fight was very disappointing considering most of the series had built up to that fight.
However, a good question to answer for this next week is, "Why did Sakura ask Kiba for help to look for Sasuke?"
Also if someone could clarify page 5 for me I was a bit confused as to what Kiba meant by, "Isn't it just better to tell him instead?"
