Naruto Shippuuden

Let’s talk about Sasuke this time. I haven’t done this for so long already and I think it’s time to do it again. Yes. Sasuke has grown strong, wise and one of the best. He has beaten Orochimaru, a legendary sannin in no too much effort. Great! He’s now a leader of his own team. We can’t hide that he’s way better than all other shinobi of his age.

However, I don’t think that his role in Naruto makes sense at this rate. It’s like there’s nothing worth the wait about him except to see the way he fights. He’s just too good on exhibiting his talent. Nothing more. Even his encounter with his brother doesn’t excite me. It’s too boring if he beats Itachi all by himself. It wouldn’t be good. I hope there’s still a twist about him and his brother.

Let’s put it this way. I don’t want Sasuke and Itachi fight with each other. I don’t see Itachi as a villain, honestly. Sasuke does. Let me try to write a better storyline for these two.

We all know that Itachi was the one who murdered the Uchiha clan, including his best friend, to obtain the power of the Mangekyou Sharingan. He spared Sasuke’s life, telling him that his purpose is so that there’s someone to take revenge on him one day. And he wants Sasuke become stronger. Since no one else witnessed this tragedy, that allegedly caused by Itachi, I think it’s really not Itachi who murdered his clan.

I want this to happen in the series. I hope that somewhere along Naruto, Itachi will reveal that he did not spare Sasuke’s life, but saved his life in exchange of joining the Akatsuki. It’s like somebody from the Akatsuki murdered Uchiha, could be Madara, and to stop the killing, he offered himself to join and serve the Akatsuki as well. Now, why would he tell Sasuke that he was the one who mudered the clan? It’s because he wants Sasuke have his anger arouse, because he thinks that it will help him become stronger even faster. Which seems to be Sasuke’s key to pursue on improving himself. As you notice, Sasuke is always serious, giving full attention on what he does. And why would Itachi want Sasuke to become stronger right away? It’s because time is running out. They have to stop The Akatsuki on their evil plan.

Now, that’s what I want to happen. But of course, these are just my own opinion. There’s no concrete basis, nor guarantee that it’s going to happen. But I don’t think they are not sensible.
