Naruto Shippuuden

Right after Itachi’s death, Madara came over to Sasuke and revealed many things. The most important part is why has Itachi done such murder of his clan. Apparently, Konoha was behind all that. That revelation turned Itachi’s image to be a good man. And part of that revelation is about Danzou.

Now, Sasuke is after Danzou, who he doesn’t know at first until after the revelation. Sasuke has never spoken anything yet, but there’s something behind his plan for Danzou, telling us that Danzou was involved in the murder of the Uchiha clan. He definitely knows something we don’t know yet.

And there he has proven Danzou’s involvement. What kind of greed must he has to gather different Sharingans and put them on awkward places where eyes don’t belong. Danzou is a monster.

Sasuke versus Danzou, who would win? Before the fight ends, there must be all kinds of i-thought-i-got-him-but-apparently-did-not scenes. Eventually, the fight will end for Sasuke.

Just like as I thought right after posting about Sakura’s Confession, there’s gonna be another reason for that. And sure it’s true, but still, could be a made-up story by Sai.

Sai went up to Naruto and deliver a message about what’s behind Sakura’s confession. Apparently, Sakura’s true plan is to have Sasuke killed, either by Naruto or anyone particularly from the village. Sasuke is now a missing nin, a criminal, an Akatsuki member. If you understand the Ninja code of discipline, you would also think that Sasuke deserves a punishment. And if you would ask me, I think it’s just appropriate that Sasuke be the super villain till the end of Naruto. In the current scenario, all he has is hate for his village, all hate and nothing else.

Anyway, because Naruto refuses Sakura’s proposal to forget about his promise and go against Sasuke, she’s making a move herself together with other batchmates. And while Naruto already knows about it, we don’t know what’s gonna be his new.

Meanwhile, it looks like Danzo lost a position of a Hokage and Kakashi is the next in line. Or could it be Naruto?

If Naruto becomes the new Hokage, which looks likely to happen, it will also mean that anything he says shall be followed by his people. His decisions will be respected, and if he still plans to prove that there’s still some goodness in Sasuke’s heart, everything could be reversed. But I don’t know. I maybe overthinking things.

Whatever it is, we still don’t know. But Sakura-chan expressed something that sounds like a plan in the Manga 470. After confessing her feelings to Naruto, only to end up embarrassing herself, she walked away with Kiba and later asked a favor from Kiba asking help to look for Sasuke.

We’re even not sure if she’s doing it to help Naruto and claim her embarrassment back. But it sounds like it’s gonna ruin Naruto’s plan instead of helping. Not sure about anything at this point, but it usually goes like this.

Now, we’re also dubious about her whole confession thing.

I couldn’t care less about Sasuke-kun anymore,
There was something wrong with me,
having feelings for a guy like that.
I hope you’re listening seriously, this is a proper confession.

I just came to my senses,
There’s no point having feelings for a missing nin and a criminal.
I can’t stay a kid forever,
I have to see things for what they are.

…

Sasuke-kun is moving farther and farther away from me,
But Naruto, you’ve always been right here beside me.
I noticed that’s all you really are.

You’re the hero who protected the village,
The whole village loves you now, you know
I feel the same way, that’s all…

You may have been a prankster and a dropout once,
But you’ve spent every single day then,
Becoming a more wonderful and admirable person.
And I’ve witnessed every moment of it.

But Sasuke-kun just kept committing sin after sin,
Breaking my heart with every step,
Becoming a different person, one far removed from me.

But Naruto,
You, I have right here,
close enough to touch.
You bring me peace.

From the bottom heart,
I…

It’s been a couple of episodes since Akatsuki distract the meeting of the five kages, and the fight is now between Sasuke and the Raikage. We know that Raikage is a badass and he’s more experienced than Sasuke, no questions asked. But if you think Raikage can pull this off on Sasuke, you’re thinking wrong.

It’s not a question of who’s gonna win. It’s more like “How Sasuke will end this fight”. For sure, Sasuke will never lose on this fight. It’s either he killed the Raikage, or get a way out if Raikage can’t be stopped. Sasuke has to live.

No matter what the result of the fight is, Sasuke and Naruto will have to meet. That’s their fate. So again, it’s not the matter of who’s gonna win between Sasuke and the Raikage. But, do we want the Raikage well-done or half-cooked?

So the battle that’s currently happening between Sasuke and Naruto has been happening through the generations. Madara revealed something in the last manga and though I hate to believe him, it seems to be the truth. It makes a lot of sense and it’s perfectly fitted to the story.

The Uchiha and Senju has been battling from the start, when the Kage of the six paths declared his successor. There were two brothers, both were capable of being the next kage, but the kage has to choose only one. He chose the younger one, and the older one was not happy about it. That started it all. Hatred between the two drove them to continuous battle and it ran through their descendants. Madara fought the first Hokage because he believes it was their fate. And now, it’s about to happen again between Naruto and Sasuke.

Sasuke looks like he’s letting himself being driven by hatred and the fate. But Naruto is still firm on his principles. We never know if Naruto will ever give up on this. But worse comes to worst, Naruto could certainly bring a fight to Sasuke. It’s about time for them to meet again.

What if there’s really no chance for Naruto and Sasuke to be friends again? What if they’re really meant to fight against and destined to be mortal enemies?

We all probably know how Kakashi became himself. We’ve read a lot about it for the last several years, but for sure it’s still exciting to see the anime.

To the uninitiated, Kakashi was once under Minato Namikaze’s team together with Rin and Obito. He was the senior among the 3 and he acted as a leader on one of their missions. Besides, he’s a Jonin during that time and it’s just appropriate to take a lead role.
