What the hell is the point of that. Thats like the same thing he did with itachi if he went against kohono. If he doesn't learn his lesson from this then it would be the same thing all over again. Which would be a waste of time.

 

This will give a perfect opportunity for Sasuke to go against Konoha and forcing Naruto and Sakura to consider him an enemy.

 

God I hope so. I, like most, was surprised with the direction this chapter took. I'm remaining very, very skeptical though. It is mildly interesting to see how the Valley of the End or whatever it was called, originated, same with Konoha.

 

Easy, Sasuke's whole life has been to kill the man he hates with his whole being. Sasuke has also made it clear he will kill those who helped or were involved with the massacre (e.g. Madara).

Now, if Sasuke were to find out that Itachi was ordered to kill the clan or have some hand in it by Konoha he will come to find that all that rage was misdirected. He may find himself raging against Konoha blaming them for the massacre, Itachi's defection, etc etc.

Anyone else think Shodai looks like Orochimaru?

 

What the hell?! He has always considered those two his enemy. He almost killed Sakura and almost used his ultimate attack on them before Oro stopped him. Sasuke did the same thing as Itachi did. Force his mind and throw away his sense of self to get his goals.

And we all know the power of the sharingan. But from the looks of it, the forest clan seemed to be the equal or possibly more powerful. Not to mention Madara admired the leader for his powers and greatness. Thats a sign of respect meaning, he knew he was weaker than the Shodai.

Also, Sasuke's mind is very fragile. It's obvious. He's really fucked in the head. And i now realize why Danzo wanted Sai to assassinate Sasuke when he sided with Oro. Itachi was suppose to kill everyone, including Sasuke. However from the looks of it, he spared Sasuke. Forcing the four elders an ultimatum.

But what i want to know is what does the sacrifice mean. Itachi is a sacrifice for something. It's going to be interesting in the next few chapters.

Kishi impressed me when i had low expectations. Hopefully he'd keep that up from this chapter onward.

 

I ask you to read the post properly.

 

Well I have mixed views on the chapter. Itachi being ordered to kill his clan is...interesting, but I;m getting to many flashbacks to bad fanfics to actually enjoy it. For Madara's whole story I want to say he's spinning the truth to manipulate Sasuke into something but I doubt Kishi will do that seeing as it's just been done... Though I think I could actually slip into hating Naruto if Sasuke joins Akatsuki, because the only thing worse then a Redemption!Itachi fic is when they author completely ignores how this would change some aspecs of canon.

And I believe the reason Kyuubi has Sharingan in his eyes is the same reason Manda did. He's under it's control, further implied by the chains.

 

About those eyes, wouldn't it look mighty suspicious if the Kyuubi had a sharingan in its eyes during the attack? Surely some ninja would have noticed...

 

Then that let's you know it didn't happen.

This chapter brings forth some interesting new developments, and incurs a lot of speculation...

If Sasuke does indeed turn his ire against Konoha, then this manga might be redeemable.

 

I got the sense there was more running in terror then...

"Hey Joe?"

"Yeah Bob?"

"Does the Kyuubi's eyes look like Sharingan to you?"

"Well now that you mention it-aaaaaaaaaaggghhhhh!"

Anywho, personally I believe the Sharingan in the eyes thing is just help for some of the more retarded readers. I mean Zabuza didn't have any when Kakashi used the Sharingan on him so...

 

Kakashi wasn't directly controlling Zabuza, though. Instead, he was confusing him with an illusion while predicting and following his movements (that's the only instance I can think of where Kakashi "controlled" Zabuza; the bridge fight end was dealt with using summoned dogs, so that's completely different).

 

Well you've got me there, but I still believe the Sharingan in the eye isn't visible to actual characters.

PS: What happened to Garret?

 

I think the only way Sasuke will be a confirmed enemy of Konoha (besides going to join the man who invaded them and tried to kill their Hokage) is if he kills one of their shinobi, preferably one of the Rookie 9, like Hinata. That way it would solidify a status of an antagonist.

I am wondering the same thing. I guess what ever happened took place in IRC.

 

He is already confirmed as an enemy. Escaping with many of the secrets of the village could do that to someone. Otherwise Danzo would never have tried to assassinate Sasuke.

 

I think what was meant by enemy was in the minds of people like Naruto and Sakura he would be confirmed as irredeemable and an enemy if he killed one of the rookie nine.

As for Garret as far as I know he started saying some actually racist comments about Muslims not jokingly but actually serious and Vash banned him for it.

 

Danzou, who basically operates on his own considers him the enemy. As far as we know that is the only time that an actual ANBU was sent after him because of his missing nin status. Naruto and Sakura still think Sasuke isn't thinking rationally and is a good guy deep down. As long as Naruto and Sakura think that so will the rookie 9. If Sasuke set his goal to actually cause harm to Konoha I think that Naruto and Sakura will find themselves alone in trying to redeem him.

 

...Well, naruto will anyway. And we really don't know much about the other rookie nine. There an enigma for now.

Still, it's too bad we don't know the full power of a forest clan. Hopefully they would show it to us in the flash back. The current wood user, (whats his name?) he's powers with the wood is half of what it is with a true blood line of the forest clan.

 

Hmmm, interesting chapter. It seems the sandaime had something to do with the Uicha massacre. Perhaps soon we'll find manipulative!sandaime fics popping up in the hundreds.

 

You mean you all didn't see this coming? As soon as he broke out the redeemed!Itachi cliché I knew he was going the 'he was ordered to do it' route. Admittedly it's one of the better routes he can take the manga, but I'm still thinking it will be fucked up in some way.

Aekiel

 

complete bullshit. lol i bet you were just as completely fooled as everyone else did. Have at least some faith.
