This is indeed a really good chapter. It sheds light to potential new ideas to bring into zoning.
1. Samehada: Before all we knew about this sword was that it can absorb visible chakra and insteading of cutting, it shaves/shreds off the surface of an object or being. . Now we know that he can also absorb visible elemental chakra and the more chakra it eats, the bigger it gets., turning into some scaly monster. >.> Also, there's a limit to his chakra eating as well, at least in 1 serving anyway. The chakra stole can recover the wielder's stamina. The hilt is able to stretch and bend.

http://www.onemanga.com/Naruto/471/04/Idea/Improvement: I know some ppl who use weapons that can absorb chakra. So now if some1 channels elemental chakra into their weapon, they can absorb that too. Also, wouldnt be kewl to have a sword where the blade turns into an animal of some kind? xD LIke a blade that turns into a bear! lmao xD jk jk That's kinda crazy.
2. Kisame and Samehada fusion: This is the most interesting and I think it's pretty kewl.
http://www.onemanga.com/Naruto/471/17/Idea: Fusing with your unique katana. I made a technique similar to this but never tried it in the zones, not bcuz I thought it was god-moddish but it required a few preps. in order for it to work for me. At least now I wont have to worry about ppl refuting against it if I do try it out in the near future.
Overall, I'm curious to see what Kisame is capable in that form and if he can still utilize ninja techs in it.
3. A new jutsu: Suiton: Dai Bakusui Shoha.
http://www.onemanga.com/Naruto/471/16/You can tell by the name alone that it's stronger than the regular Bakusui Shoha. (For ppl who dont know, Dai = Great)
Notice how high the waves are as they are even above the those tall trees. You can seriously kill ppl with this jutsu, having them drown to death, especially when the water turns into a giant water-filled dome. It's like a super sized water prison. o.o
4. This battle is very important. If Killer Bee dies, there's no one that can teach Naruto how to control his bijuu. Although when I look at the 8 tailed bijuu, he seems like a softie, nowhere near aggressive as the Kyuubi. >.>
Let me know if the links are annoying, I notice I put alot more than usual but they were only used as references.
