Welcome to Gaia! ::

Which part, Sasuke joining Madara or there being an separate story in which we find out the "truth" about Itachi?

I've been gone for a while and haven't read the other reactions the other members of this guild wrote in accordance to the previous chapters released, however I have to say this series is getting more intriguing every week. The whole flashback chapters were exciting to read. I love learning about stuff that made things the way they are.

HOWEVER, with this new week's chapter, I am quite surprise Sasuke believed everything Madara said so quickly. Sasuke was probably still in shock about his brother actually dying and just couldn't think properly, sure. But damn, Madara is super clever to just pour all that emotional stuff on him and get him to join Akatsuki so quickly.

s**t!!!!

I for one, don't believe everything Madara said. No, there has to be something further than that....

I really don't think sasuke is in his right mind, after finding all this about Itachi, and now he wants to Crush Konoha. I think he should think all about what Madara said and instead of going after KonoHa like that.

Okay, so now Sasuke knows that his brother was trying to protect him all along. So, this gives him a reason to destroy the leaf because his brother tried to protect it? Really? Why does he suddenly want to crush Konoha, it doesn't really make sense. =/

Well said for what sasuke is. He can be manipulated and he doesn't have a path in life. He doesn't know what he wants or know what he'll gain in his choosing. In the beginning he thought his path was the kill the "horrible" older brother, which was decided on what he had to live for. And even now he refuses to accept the dying wish of his brother. He is indeed a tragic character, more tragic than other characters in the Naruto story.

Naruto is becoming one of the best mangas I have ever read. The twists and turns this manga presents all the time truly makes it an unpredictable and amazing story.

I agree with you guys who said Sasuke seems to have no real path in life. I understand why he wants to attack Konoha though I mean if I learnt the demise of my entire clan was at the hands of my village elders uh yeahh I too would want to bring them donw.

Though I have to admit, although I readily believed what Madara said about Itachi's true self I am kinda surprised at the quickness which Sasuke believed him...some lingering guilt mayhap at killing his brother?

I really can't wait for this story to develop. I believe that Sasuke is going to die though most likely by Naruto possibly after a drawn out fight with the other members of Team 7 as well.

Dang, and here I was thinking "well after Sasuke kills Itachi he'll decide to become a missing-nin" and then BOOM! Kishimoto throws a wrench into my daydreams with this loving big brother act of Itachi.

Now all I can see is that Sasuke's gotta die...sorry Sakura looks like you're going to have to choose finally the guy you're in love with (which we all know by now is really Naruto...)

Sasuke needs to mature by now. All he's been is a pawn of Orochimaru and now Madara. If he really wanted to redeem his brother's memory he should respect his wishes and leave Konoha alone.

Although we all know that if he did do that, Naruto would have ended in a really boring and uneventful way lol so I can't wait to see how this plot twist develops. Gosh, Sasuke has really become like Orochimaru now...

I like how Sasuke is all like "it's my idea to destroy the leaf" and Madara is like "Yeah ok you go on ahead. It's all your idea." I think Sasuke just loves to be manipulated.
