Hmph, that's why I always reply out of my mail client. It always pops out, so I always have the original comment to resend. ^^
I think pretty much they do have to have a negotiation of some sort. Like they said, there is the three year thing, and Sasuke thus is safe until then. So I figure there will be an apprenticeship of some sort. (The internship of eeeeevil)
Oh, I don't think Naruto is dealing with it much at all. I felt it was very mature of Sakura to tell him that she didn't hold him responsible because damn it, Naruto tried, he gave it his all, and ultimately it was Sasuke's choice to make, not Naruto's. Now, I think Sasuke will probably come back, so Naruto doesn't need to write him off, but in my opinion, I just think it's unfortunate that Naruto so strongly feels that it's his responsibility to *make* Sasuke come back. He pretty much told Sasuke as strongly as he could, but Sasuke still said no. And at that point I think that's all one could have reasonably expected Naruto to do. But it's probably because I get all existentialist here that I basically believe it's 'disrespectful' of Sasuke's responsibility for Naruto to feel so responsible for him, if that makes any sense.
Hmm, now where does Kabuto fit into that little scenario? XD
Time Jump: If he is going to do it, I'd like to see it start off with an intro of the aged characters, and then go to a flashback of the important events in the intervening years. To me that would be a good compromise.
