considering that practically every allegation ever made in anime towards someone being blind is implying that they failed to realize something, i figured it was pretty obvious.......and i dont care how direct of a translation it is, because it still doesn't argue my point

but whatever, despite there being no practical rationality for kishimoto to weaken itachi's character at this point in the series, there's no point in arguing it until next week's chapter comes out.......

although then again Y, you were one of those people who took some of the more random details presented in the series seriously, am I right? Like the part about Gai being better than Itachi? I shouldn't be surprised about you taking the blind eye thing literally, in that case [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-tongue.gif[/img]
