A bunch of pages of Sasuke sitting up in bed breathing heavily and two revelations: Sasuke now has the Mangekyou Sharingan and Uchiha Itachi had good intentions all along. I hope no one is surprised by either of these at this point.
Leave it to Sasuke to fuck up the anticipated revealing of Tobi's identity, way to go.
KIMOCHI~II
I guess the hunch that Itachi really was a good guy was correct (much to a lot of people's chagrin, I suppose.) I just wonder how he transferred the mangekyou to Sasuke just by touching his forehead...
I really wanted to believe Itachi is a good guy... but what if Tobi is lying? Just another conspiracy theory to use Sasuke bla bla bla... Kyuubi is bad... and go kill Naruto.
Tobi had the same scar like Naruto?
Aww no Naruto next week? damn it! so much puzzle...
k going to sleep.

You can't compare Bush to Hitler cause Bush is the village idiot and Hitler was border line genius, unfortunately he was border line insane also, so sad such a mind went to waste.
So this means sasuke got all itachis mangekyou teqs?.. Does that mean he got susano...? And if he activates his own mangekyou will it automaticly become an eternal since it got itachis "eye powers" ?

Those don't really look like whisker lines to me. They have a fleshy depth to them and appear to be more like wrinkles or scars.What I find much more interesting is:
Madara's face had similar whisker like lines on it like Naruto's does. It takes effort to draw three lines on a face which leads me to believe they were put there for a reason. We know the Yin chakra of the Kyubii went to Naruto and the Yang chakra is somewhere else. I may be misremembering and it's the case that only the Yin chakra that is able to mix with Naruto's at the moment and that key unlocks the Yang chakra which is also in him, in which case this next theory is moot though. However, if the Yang chakra is somewhere other than Naruto then I think it's possible Madara could have managed to get his hands on it from wherever the Fourth decided to stuff it and make himself a Jinchuuriki.
That's right. I had forgotten all about that. We still never found out what Itachi said to Naruto. That's bound to raise a few questions now too.Also I think Itachi told Naruto everything a few chapters ago when they had a conversation that was left out. So Naruto probably knows everything now and in a couple of chapters Naruto will have a MS that Itachi gave him or some other badass power.
Interesting chapter. I suspected all along that Itachi was a good guy, and I think I'm one of the few people who is glad that he has proven to have been so. I agree its a bit lame that managed to transfer his MS to Sasuke by just a tap. One thing is clear now though, and that is that throughout the fight Itachi never intended to harm Sasuke, and that is why Sasuke didn't get owned right from the start. Why Itachi decided to get killed by Sasuke, that remains to be seen.
Does anyone have an explaination as to how, after getting hit by Amaterasu, Madara just calmly walks back from the darkness with no damage after a brief struggle? And can someone point out the chapters where Itachi spoke to Naruto in secret? As I remember it were they not interuppted when Itachi detected the arrival of Sasuke? I don't think Itachi actually managed to tell Naruto what he wanted, and that was one of the reason why Naruto was chasing Itachi as well.
I'm still holding out that Itachi is alive somehow. I know its a very bleak prospect now, but his death was just too sudden. Unless Madara gives a convincing explaination as to why Itachi literally just dropped dead, I'm thinking he is in some sort of trance or something.
Yes it was Itachi's blood that went into Sasuke's left eye and I'm pretty sure the fact that blood began flowing out of that same eye when Tobi activated his sharingan was no coincidence.
I don't think they look like whiskers either, they look like old scars, similar to those one would have if say their face was crushed by rocks but I'm not going there.
I don't know why you guys think something happened between Itachi and Naruto because as DB_Hunter stated we weren't shown anything to suggest that something did happen. He tried talking to Naruto and Naruto attacked him, then he asked him one question which Naruto was answering when Sasuke arrived and then Itachi left.
Dreaming impossible dreams.
Sapphire is awesome!
Yes, Naruto attacked Itachi, but then Itachi did his raven illusion and said "I only wish to talk with you." Then is skips to the scene with Tsunade and Jiraiya speaking for a few pages and goes back to Itachi and Naruto with Naruto laying on the ground.
Naruto asks "why?" The "why" could be either in response to Itachi wanting to talk to him or perhaps to something Itachi said to him. The fact that it switched scenes is what leads me to believe that there may have been some type of conversation between them during that "missing" time. If it didn't switch scenes then I wouldn't think anything of it.

Finally confirmation that Itachi wasnt as bad as we thought. I am sure that everyone knew that there was some other motive to him killing everyone. But I dont think that I mind the "protecting Sasuke" thing. I could be that after learning about how dangerous his clan could be Itachi wanted to kill them to make sure that they never took over and to make sure that they didnt slaughter one another for eyes. So he stepped in a killed them all. Kinda noble I guess...
assertnfailure (7:40:03 PM): dude....your posts are a bunch of nonsense
Why am I not surprised that we still didn't see Tobi's face. And Itachi a good guy? Doesn't surprise me either. I smell a Snape-like flashback coming on.
I think I know precisely what I mean
when I say it's a schpadoinkle day
Lame.
Just a stupid excuse to make Sasuke even more powerful.
If transferring ones technique was that easily, any Shinobi could become a Kage.
Itachi = good guy = sucks.
"Our hearts are full of memories but not all of them reflect the truth. The heart isn't a recording device. Even important memories change with time. They warp or fade, leaving us with but a shadow of what we hoped to remember." 天の道を行き、全てを司る。これは僕の世界。
Yeah...Itachi = good guy = sucks.
However, this will just play a bigger role in Kakashi's warning to Sasuke about revenge. Not only is it wrong, but now we find out that Itachi himself was never to be blamed. Sooooo Sasuke just owned himself.
So umm... Was Madara controlling Itachi or what? It's kind of a bunch of bs to say Itachi was good after those horrible evil-ish things he's said to Sasuke and the whole story about obtaining the MS.
Well Itachi actually having an ulterior motive isn't really a surprise I just hope the story of why is good.
What I find much more interesting is:
Madara's face had similar whisker like lines on it like Naruto's does. It takes effort to draw three lines on a face which leads me to believe they were put there for a reason. We know the Yin chakra of the Kyubii went to Naruto and the Yang chakra is somewhere else.

However, if the Yang chakra is somewhere other than Naruto then I think it's possible Madara could have managed to get his hands on it from wherever the Fourth decided to stuff it and make himself a Jinchuuriki.
And begrudgingly, Saskuke's sharingan status is an interesting mystery as well. How did Itachi do it? Tobi is infinitely cool and collected so he didn't let his surprise phase him, but his comments seem to indicate he really didn't know Itachi could have transfered his abilities to Sasuke. If he didn't know it could be done at all how does he know Sasuke got all of the Mangekyou abilities Itachi has instead of just an anti-Sharingan Amaterasu.
I had mentioned before (I believe it was in irc though), that there were only really 3 realistic outcomes to the sasuke vs itachi fight...
- Nobody wins and both retreat (lame)
- Someone interferes with the fight and Itachi sacrifices himself
- Sasuke kills Itachi but Itachi ends up being good
What obviously could NEVER happen, however...
- Sasuke is killed by Itachi
- Sasuke kills Itachi and Itachi is bad
The reason why Itachi cannot both be evil and be killed at the hands of Sasuke is because that would mark the end of Sasuke's purpose in the series. Just as Kakashi said a long while back, if Sasuke's revenge is complete, then he will have nothing more to live for. We also know that Kishimoto has big plans for Sasuke this year, so his role cannot be concluded so soon.
No doubt Itachi's death will be a scar that will probably follow Sasuke for the rest of his life (which I'm still kind of surprised Kishi gave him so soon), but this could also fuel a newfound hatred that motivates him for the rest of the series.

I knew somewhere deep inside this was going to happen. Itachi being a good guy that is. I also thought I was going to hate it. But I didn't, because of the last page. Madara put it in a way that just succeeds in making Itachi seem like the most tragic, misunderstood person in the series. Without knowing anything about what actually makes him "not so bad", we seem to KNOW that his decision to walk the path he did was made, knowing that he would die, without anyone ever understanding, including the one he cared for most. How...epic. This writer has some skill.
Oh, and this is pretty funny:
Tobi: "Somehow, at the last second, he transfered all his eye techniques into you."
Sasuke: "...That makes no sense..."
Yes, this is the second time the series that even the characters are realizing the world they exist in makes no fucking sense. Explain how Itachi lost already!

Yes, it was said in IRC Assertn, while you, Y, and I were discussing it (and probably on other occasions others, as Y said this isn't really something very unexpected).

I think I read somewhere that Madara was responsible for the Kyuubi attacking Konoha resulting in the Fourth sealing the Kyuubi in Naruto?? I could be wrong though. But if my memory doesn't suck and that actually did happen, it's possible that Naruto only has the Yin chakra because Madara kept the Yang chakra when he sent the Kyuubi. I could be wrong thought, don't really remember where I read that.
Also I think Itachi told Naruto everything a few chapters ago when they had a conversation that was left out. So Naruto probably knows everything now and in a couple of chapters Naruto will have a MS that Itachi gave him or some other badass power.
I still think Sasuke will be Madara's bitch and the end of the manga will be Naruto vs Sasuke.
