Ahh ok. I read that part of the manga like five years ago, so it was a little fuzzy.

There were a few flashes of his potential to not be a dick, but it was not to be. Even if Itachi hadn't hosed him up so badly, there is also uchiha affective disorder.

I'd say that Itachi deciding to subdue his little brother by using an extremely screwed-up psychological torment technique was also pretty Uchiha Affective Disorder.

This started his trek into thinking that no one in Konoha was good enough to train him. He trained with THE Kakashi for like 3 months and he couldn't beat Gaara meanwhile the loser trains with some guy Sasuke doesn't know and he stomps Gaara.

Post Itachi's brain-loving of Sasuke, he had that rooftop fight with Naruto where his raikiri was made to look like a bitchslap next to Naruto's rasengan.
That's when he went full emo and ran off in a sulk to join Orochimaru.

Hey, remember Futon Rasen Shuriken? The thing that shreds your body cells to tiny little pieces if it hits you? It has been so useless this entire battle that AFAICR Naruto hasn't bothered trying to use it even once.

He uses it at least twice: After Sakura powers up and smashes a bunch of juubi clones, she gets mobbed so he throws it while Sasuke uses Kagutsuchi. He brings it out a second time, combining it with Sasuke's black fire to create a new technique, which the Fourth gives a really long winded name.

I keep thinking that Gai has one final attack that starts with the word Dawn. I mean, he's got Morning, Afternoon, Evening and Night, but given that Naruto is all about Hope and the Future Generation and stuff, you'd think there'd be an attacking called Dawning Dragon or something. Something about how dawn comes when everything appears to be darkest, or dawn of a new day, or some other faux-meaningful bullshit Kishimoto can pull out. Or maybe that's Lee's job.

Nothing surprising here. I did like the quick shout out to the Byakugan. Now I want to know more about them they're aliens!

I did rather like that he was talking to Sasuke and Naruto at the same time. I look forward to a flaming moth.

The sage had been speaking with Sasuke at the same time as Naruto, and at this point the two conversations merged. If you are a ghost you can have two separate discussions at the same time I guess.

I was under the impression that while the Sage was talking to Naruto in Naruto's soul or mind or whatever, he was also talking to Sasuke in Sasuke's mind at the same time.

It looks like that we might actually be getting into the final push now at least. I hope so anyway, another bullshit plot point power up after this would be the straw that breaks the camel's back, fixes it, breaks it, and then does that 5 more times.

This means that we are left to fill in Sasuke's side of the conversation.


Sasuke: Yep. You're pretty much right, old man. Very Naive of you to think that. Indra's methods shall prevail. Well, maybe I do resemble Indra, with my ambition to subvert everything Naruto has been working for and whatnot. Unlike him, however, I do not desire to reach this goal by plugging the population of earth into the Matrix. It is a distasteful plan; people should not experience eternal bliss in a false world, but rather they should be let to live in reality, squirming under the superior heel of the Uchiha as they are wont to do. But then again, what do I know; I have a brain disorder.

If you think that there won't be a flashback later to Sasuke's side of the conversation, then I don't know if you have been reading Naruto at all the last few years. Kishi, letting the possibility of a long flashback slide? I don't think so.

Their daughter will be the original moon goddess, because of chakras.

Wow, the Mangastream translation is just terrible. Glad I went back and read the Manga Panda one. A sentence I never thought would be true. I figured all the new posts were about sage incest, since Mangastream decided that not only was the Rabbit lady the sage's mom but also the mother of his sons.

Though they did translate Night Moth as Night Guy, so there's that.
