Naruto Chapter 462

[Tyreal]

He's about to run into the 8 tails, I'm sure they'll talk.

I've been expecting this as well. He would be the perfect person to teach Naruto about controlling his Bijuu, considering Naruto is now already incredibly powerful and more or less capable of developing his other abilities by himself.

I thought I was the only one who thought that the Sasuke itachi fight could have been a lot better then it played out to be. What got me the most was itachi's random heart disease. No where in the entire series did itachi show traits of being sick and then all of a sudden hes pucking blood...what!

I'm excited thinking about how much stronger Naruto will become when he gets the key to unlock more of his Kyuubi chakra and possibly trained by the 8 tails. I'm also curious to see what type of power itachi gave him...but we won't be seeing that until him and Sasuke fight.

I actually don't think it was a random "heart" disease, like madara was implying. Like Zetsu said, it seemed he sustained some damage before the fight. I actually believe he's fought Madara on several occassions.
I mean he even put a trap in his little brother to destroy Madara, think it is pretty obvious they were out for each others blood for a long time.

I'm pretty sure there was a purpose behind it as well and that could very well be what happened. I was thinking that Itachi having to kill everyone he loved in the village,mom dad, best friend etc. The cold hearted Itachi was a front to me. He actually seemed like he was a very commpassionate person at one point. Killing all those people could have had a tremendous strain on him emotional thus effecting his heart some how.
