As the title says, this is a different view of chapter 677. This view does not seek to take a character's word for Kishi's or for that of a god. In particular, I am going to clear a misconception of Sasuke's actions in chapter 677.
1. Common or Fanboyist Belief: Sasuke saved Naruto from IT.
This is what many fanboys or fangirls think. As it has become customary, any single action from Sasuke tend to be blown by his fandom without further interpretation. The reason why they think Naruto will be affected by IT is in the following panel.
Here, Sasuke asserts that without his Susanoo Shelter, Naruto will be put under genjutsu. Of course, given that Sasuke went to Konoha with Tobi after obtaining MS or EMS, and also with Orochimaru, Sasuke know about the IT. Thus, he would be inclined to believe that any regular person will be caught into the eternal Genjutsu. The question is: Is Naruto a regular person, or a regular Shinobi?
2. Sasuke's action are his own belief, not Naruto's.
First, let go back a page:
As you can see, Naruto was able to sense Hinata's call. Naruto also resolved to go to help Hinata, and I actually think he can sense the Shinju wrapping everyone lives in his see of trees. Now, in the above panel, Sasuke grabbed Naruto to stop him. Obviously, unless naruto has no respect for Sasuke, or is in fight with him, the right action is to stop and listen.
Then:
Here, in the first panel, Sasuke gives a detail of how he is protecting Naruto from the genjutsu. However, look carefully at Naruto in the first (rightmost top) panel. Naruto posture there is completely different from when he is accepting something. To make it better, look at the second top panel (leftmost).
There, you can see that Kishi chose carefully to give Naruto's back to the reader, then Sasuke continue to explain why Naruto should stay. This also confirm the fact that Naruto is still not willing to stay under the shelter. In addition, read carefully the statement in that panel. After Sasuke's explanation, there is a "what ...!" Then, look at Sasuke and Sakura's posture and facial expressions (basically their body language).
My opinion, is that since Naruto did not talk in these two panels, something happened, and Kishi chose to hide it. This will happen in next chapter, and it will show that actually, Naruto can move freely outside, and is immune to the IT.
3. Sheltering is not a solution
Another evidence that Naruto is immune to IT is that Sheltering is not a solution. Basically, Sasuke will have to Shelter Kakashi and Sakura, but as long as IT is casted, anyone who is not immune will be caught into it. Therefore, Sasuke's soluton is not a good one. There will be no chance, because Madara is not going to cancel it. As the name said, it is an eternal genjutsu.
4. Sasuke is still acting out of fear and misunderstanding of Naruto's power!
Actually, I would say that he is acting out of fear, and underestimating Naruto's power as always. This actually remind me of the fights against Haku and Gaara. Sasuke always assume that he has the solution of the problem, but at the end of the day, the truth is that Naruto had more under his sleeves than they knew of.
Next, Sasuke is not only sheltering from IT, but also from the Limbo shadows of Madara. This is my second time to mention it. For some non-existing reason, Sasuke is freaking scared of Madara's shadows, and he has been concerned about them for more than two cahpters now.
5. Not cool, but get the job done!
Another thing I noted in chapter 677 is that Naruto is the one who has powers that get the job done. After spending one chapter in cutting the chubaku tensei boulder, Sasuke did not change anything. This make sense because his cut cannot destroy the black cores of the boulders. Thus even if they are cut, they will go back. In previous chapter 676, Sasuke failed to notice that, and rather complained about how they keep coming.
Well, give it to the Rasen-Churiken, and the job is done.
