Two things that caught my eyes in this chapter.
First, I thought Sasuke was suppose to be already a God. He defeated Itachi for sake! Yet, he didn’t look any ounce impressive this chapter. Guess it’s really hard to keep the expectation up throughout with fights after fights getting more and more ridiculous, no?
Second, think Zorro of One Piece is being mocked.
I definitely didn’t see this coming! Zet-Tai
Sasuke…
To have turned Itachi around from being the coolest to the worst back to God-like status character, I am definitely as surprise as I could ever be. When I was wondering what could happen, Sasuke turned super badass this time!
Believe the story is taking a good turn, just as I liked it! However, the most striking moment of this chapter, is not the last page, but the page where Sasuke shed tears! The frames on the pages were so great that I can see myself wanting to have it coloured, print it and paste it on the wall for decoration - albeit, for short term!
Anyway, now that the Snake has turned into a Hawk, coming should be very fun as this time round, there is really no going back. I could potentially see Sasuke leading Akatsuki. Then again, another question on hand was the conversation which Itachi had with Naruto. Wonder what information was given to Naruto and what would he do next.
But of course, one of the very ending that I am guessing is “Can Naruto turned Sasuke around? Can Sasuke really celebrate friendship?”
Man, how is the story going to be?
Sasuke - all renewed!
Now that Sasuke is such a renewed man, what does the Leaf Village mean to him? Madara ain’t that bad after all. Whose revenge will it be now? Seriously, this is getting very plausible for all sort of development. Without any hints a of the real bad guys; heck I don’t even really think Akatsuki is really the main antagonists now!
Itachi really must be awarded one of the best characters ever developed! He first came into the series like the very man that everyone should be afraid of. He even was the man where the readers thought was really God-like. Heck, he even paralyzed Kakashi by just looking at him; without lifting a finger! Ever! And to end his life this way, ending Orochimaru’s miserable ideology, Itachi definitely won me over by hundreds of yards!
Guess after all the slum Naruto series went through for the past one year, we’re finally seeing some light.
Guess the Leaf is not all that bright and beautiful at all.
Madara, Sasuke & Itachi - the Uchiha
It’s very surprising that only now we start to read on all the skeletons in the Leaf’s cupboard. But never did I knew that it might be THIS dark and evil. Still, really wonder how all these are going to fit together for a story that’s so fragmented at the moment. We’ve Akatsuki trying to do something - which by the way, is not really a known fact if they really want to just dominate the world (at least IMO) - and Sasuke who has just lost all that he had been living for, Naruto who seemed so obsessed with Sasuke that am not sure how the death of Jiraiya-sama will do to him, and of course, the presence of Kakashi as the sensei that saves the day every day! Complex? Think there are much more which I’ve yet to highlight.
Anyway, am definitely looking forward to next weekend and see how the story develops. At least it reads interesting now.
... are you dreaming with me?
