This chapter felt like a filler, Sasuke has already said he wants to destroy Konoha. I don't think he'll end up fighting Naruto now...As someone said in last weeks thread. Naruto has been fighting for how long now? No way Kishi would start the battle now. I think w/e the duo found in Oro's lair, they will show it to Sasuke, who will find out about Tobi's plan. Changing the War = killing Tobi. I'm sure Sasuke wouldn't want to live in an enless genjutsu where he won't be able to kill off everyone in Konoha and bring the uchiha back. Tobi's plans go against Sasukes. Then again who knows. Get back to the Kage battle or Naruto vs Tobi.

after months of being free of sasuke, now we get a sasuke-centric chapter. i want to complain but i see kishi's point, he does need to bring sasuke back into the playing field. he's been out of commission for far too long. but i still couldn't bring myself to like the guy, even with his badass susanoo and all. kishi building up sasuke in this chapter is no less annoying. we know he's powerful kishi, we know that you want him to be naruto's biggest rival so if naruto is monstrously powerful now then he has to be more powerful than that, right? there are too many power-ups in this manga that i'm seriously doubting whether these ninja are still human or not.

Sasuke chapters with Sasuke aren't the problem. It's Sasuke chapters with Juugo, Suigestu, and Karin. Those other three make it feel like filler. Kishi wasted way too many pages on their nonsense. And sadly, those two clowns are going to be allowed to be lap dogs to Sasuke again because of that Orochimaru scroll. And Karin will also find them.
I am curious to what is in the scroll. I feel it is something we haven't seen before. And will allow Sasuke to be a factor in the war. At worst this allows Kishi to pad the manga some more. Could anything come of Sasuke vs. Itachi? Just more talking. Sasuke is not going to change and probably will support Itachi defeating Kabuto. And Sasuke vs. the K12 is now pointless because he won't kill anyone until Naruto. |

I liked Karin exaggerating her "condition" in order to trick the guards into complacency so that she could stage an escape. I also liked Suigetsu and Juugo's interaction, even if it is something we have seen before.
Sasuke's EMS was nice to look at and I can't wait to see what else it can do. Additionally, since emphasis was placed on a specific eye, I am forced to believe once again that Sasuke has a genjutsu eye similar to Itachi. That being said, W.Zetsu being dead, and a potential new jutsu from Orochimaru really up the possibilities for future chapters. |

I found that interesting too though probably not for the same reason. So what do you think of the fact that Sasuke once used the same Genjutsu with his other eye to force a Cloud ninja to disclose Killer Bee's location? |

If Itachi is heading towards Kabuto and this chapter states that Sasuke is going in Itachi's direction then it really can be that Kabuto will try to capture Sasuke. In that case both Itachi and Tobi will want to save Sasuke from that mad scientist guy. Furthermore Kabuto will need all his power, so he will summon back to his location all his top Edo Tensei guys, including Edo-Madara. And that will be quite interesting, since apart from saving the 5 kages and Naruto it will also result in some new revelations about Tobi.
The two idiots (Jugo and Suigetsu) do not know that Sasuke does not care about them, so it might be that Karin will tell them the truth before they reach Sasuke. And of course they have not yet been converted to Narutism, so they will definitely be around until that happens. |

So what exactly is happening with Itachi and Sasuke?
Sasuke said he was going to where Naruto was to kill him and the other Leaf Ninja but then he started thinking about Itachi and saying everything he sees is burned into his brother's eyes (whatever that means). Then they show Itachi. I wonder what Suigetsu has discovered that makes him think he can take control over the war. Just when you think Orochimaru has become obsolete Kishimoto keeps bringing him up. I doubt we will see Orochimaru again but apparently he has left behind some useful things that are still relevant to the storyline.

This "emo boy" talk is wrong, emo boys don't do anything about their life, just whine and make sad faces or something Sasuke is doing something, even if it is some evil stuff
Too bad that the plot shields make his thinking strange, i mean why would an evil guy make a promise to the good guy that he won't kill his friends and allies before they fight. A real evil guy would want to kill Naruto's friend just to make him suffer before killing him. It's interesting that Sasuke calls the masked man Tobi instead of Madara. Does he know something (he should know him as Madara) or suspect something, or is it just a plot hole? |

Lol, I wonder, is Itachi coming to Betch slap Sasuke? I hope so...
Also, mad points to Karin for being bad-ass; I wouldn't doubt it if she freed herself from prison and gave Naruto secret Sasuke-killing techniques. Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned.
