Sasuke's doing to Sakura what Itachi did to him.

If you put it that way......

Spoiler

It kinda makes sense

I agree. That's what I thought he was doing when he says that that part of his life is in the past.

 

[QdonEms]

damn straight.

I'm not a Sasuke hater - he's one of my favorites. I didn't want to see another Naruto vs Sasuke, but it's not my story.

If I remember the Itachi scene, it WAS a way to get Sasuke out of the way so Itachi could get to Naruto.

So yes, it's similar: to get someone who is obsessive out of the way without killing them.

It's another one of Kishi's examples of the cycle repeating itself. Itachi thought hate would help Sasuke grow stronger and Sasuke thinks hate will help Sakura get stronger and move on. The cycle will keep repeating itself until Sasuke admits it doesn't work. Itachi was able to admit that what he did to Sasuke was wrong. Until Sasuke realizes that too, it will continue.

We let this job to Naruto..

I think Sasuke is just being a jerk to Sakura.

Maybe Possible.
Nice thread kinda makes sense

That's exactly what I thought upon first reading the chapter, so I 100% agree with you. This is what I posted on another thread a few days back regarding that genjutsu...

"he probably intends for her to hate him after breaking out of it or something. You know, much like how Itachi did towards Sasuke"

Good thread and thank you for addressing it like this.
