Hopefully this gives Sumire and Nue time to shine. I imagine her knowledge of the Nue beast plus Kurama will help Himawari reach another level as a Shinobi.

Guarenteed she'll be the one to defeat Jura.

His story is perfect. Not like Jiraiya where we felt we didn't get a chance to see him in action. We got everything you could ask for from Itachi as a character. Let him rest.

This article is about a month ahead of schedule innit?

Personally if it's not a black hole I say it's a jutsu stealing eye. Not just copying but literally taking control of it from the attacker. Either way I'm excited.

She makes one move to trap him and suddenly he's a let down?

Great fight against Jugo, Kashin, Delta, and Hidari. Matsuri getting the upper hand at the start of the fight isn't making Konohamaru a "let down". It's finally giving him direct plot related screen time. We all gotta be more patient with the story.

I think Naruto's mastery of Sage mode has been purposefully overlooked. I expect it to make a difference some where soon. Especially since the authors know we're clamoring to see Naruto.

Last I checked Naruto supported Hinata when everyone thought she was too weak. Helped to train with her. Hinata went on multiple missions with him and bonded. She literally went up against Pain just to protect Naruto.

Like I know he dropped the ball on Neji but to say there was no romance or build up of the relationship with Hinata is wild. This ain't a shojo it ain't about to be kissy faces and cute dates.
