Naruto Chapter 408

[Archangel]

Hmm you really think Sasuke will go after tsunade because she's the hokage? i mean he does seem to want to keep the casualties to a minimum and since tsunade probably didn't even know of the uchiha situation until she became hokage i don't see sasuke going specifically after her. Then again Madara would absolutely own Tsunade wouldn't he? She relies mostly on phisical attacks and with his time space jutsu tsunade wouldn't last 5 minutes.

But i do have to say that i'm curious as to just how strong the elders really are, they've also been trained by the second hokage after all.

Whether Sasuke goes after her or not is not really up to him. Madara for sure wants her dead and atm Sasuke is his little puppet, Sasuke isn't the problem Madara is. Even if he doesn't go after her directly she would definitely defend the elders regardless of how she feels about them and in a situation like that I doubt Sasuke would hesitate to kill her.

I don't think they are that strong even if they were on the same level as Sarutobi, which I highly doubt, aging probably would have had a much greater impact on them than it did on Sarutobi since he was still at least active as hokage and now they are even older than Sarutobi was when he died.

The elders undoubtedly possess alot of knowledge and probably could still use some high level jutsus but I don't see them keeping up with Akatsuki members. I think the power of the elders comes from their sphere of influence rather than anything else and it just wouldn't fit the story if they turned out to be that strong.

I don't think she knows of the situation. The elders don't seem to be the type to share information and I don't see them sharing information that sensitive at all, unless they are confronted with proof and with Itachi dead there is no proof. I think at this point only the elders, Madara and Sasuke know what actually happened.

I think it'll get out pretty soon though, when Sasuke attacks the village Naruto is of course going to ask why and Sasuke is going to give him his "I'm an avenger" line and a long explanation about why he is doing what he is doing, just like in the valley of end.

-I just noticed that despite his talk Sasuke hasn't actually killed anyone yet. Itachi died because of an illness and Deidara blew himself up. I wonder if he's got the guts to go through with this.

Lol like that has ever stopped Kishi

I noticed that too, which makes me think that Kishi is thinking of giving him a happy ending, being purified by naruto and all that ridiculous shit

Yeah I know Kishi never really considers whether or not things make sense.

You know my mind went to wrong place when you said Kishi was going to give Sasuke a "happy ending"

xD

lol but seriously, i'm not usually a big fan of the endings where the main character dies or a close friend dies etc, but if sasuke just goes back to the village like it was nothing after naruto beats him ( u know it's gonna happen eventually and it's gonna be in a stupid way ) i'm gonna cry... just because the asshole didn't kill anyone it doesn't mean he can just go back and they'll forget he was associated with akatsuki, tried to kill the elders, etc.
