I apologize for jumping the gun. you were right. Jiraiya hadn't died in the last chapter. He has just died. The toad got away. The fight that almost everyone has been looking forward to has started!!!!! Sasuke VS Itachi!!!!!!! Naruto is being toyed with by Tobi. And i think that might just sum up the events of this chapter. . . i'm gonna miss the pervert hermit. . . crying
Damn it all the people refrenced to real people are dying/dead. Jiraiya, Hanzou who was a refrence to Hanzou Hattori, Pein's Fuma body witch Pein killing Hanzou was a refrence to Kotaro Fuma killing Hanzou, Orichimaru kinda and I'm sure everyone know's who's he refrenced to.

i hope that they wont kill off too many people to make way for a fresh batch of characters @_@
Well, if any of you has had the chance to read the translation of the questions fired at Kishimoto-sensei at Jump Festa 2008, the upcoming stuff in the story is going to be EPIC.
Rather interesting, but he described certain parts of what he's planning by using colors (how delightfully cryptic... but all good shinobi know how to "read the meanings within the hidden meanings").
From what he mentioned about Kakashi (using the color 'dark blue') and that something BIG is going to happen to him, a lot of ideas are flying around. Dark blue is a symbol of authority, and since Kishimoto-sensei mentioned about folks needing to grow up (which in his case often involves someone close to them getting killed), there's the notion that Tsunade is going to be next to die... and that Kakashi will temporarily become the next Hokage. Tsunade is Sakura's sensei, so it would make sense for her to die and that Sakura will overcome the tragedy and grow stronger from it.
Anways, I shall now raise a cup of sake in honor of Jiraiya-sama... he was one of my most favorite characters, and one hell of an awesome ninja (albeit a perverted one).
*drinks her sake and lets out a pleased sigh*
