Hello

The new manga's out, and with it comes a bunch of new topics. It was a decent chapter if you ask me, but what really bugged me was Itachi.

I can understand that he's still serious, but shouldn't he lighten up and talk a little with Sasuke? The brother he supposedly loved more than the village? Also, I expected him to step up and at least TRY to knock some sense into Sasuke, not just leaving it to Naruto. 'Twas a bit cruel to say that he had no attachments left in the world to Sasuke's face, wasn't it?

I don't know, it just seems so out of character for him. What do you think?

Sasuke has been blinded a long time ago - As Itachi said , Naruto would be the only one capable of changing Sasuke's way. + I f*cking hate talking in the manga.

That was a bastard move, Kishi has to be trolling, Itachi could make Sasuke be good and help Konoha, but he's being a bastard.

I was trying to understand your point and where you are coming from...but the same thing keeps popping up...ITACHI IS DEAD!!! he is a Zombie...so no he doesn't have attachments to this world....get over it

He is, indeed, dead. His feelings, mind, ability to talk and make decisions, are not, however.

There is nothing to "get over" as you so brashly put it. I hope it's just not too late for Itachi to provide Sasuke some comfort.

I agree. For some weird reason I felt sorta dejected when he said he had no attachments. (what about your fans? lolz jk).In Sasuke's head he must'a been like "Dude, I'm standing right here".

I hope we see a little brotherly love before he releases the Edo Tensei

IMO he isn't sasuke brothers anymore, he might flesh and blood, I know what he did wasn't reasonable, but when you look deep into it, Naruto was much closer than Itachi was to sauske, though I'm also dissapointed in Itachi, he should talk to sasuke no matter, and he should've FOUGHT like a man -_-, Kishi is getting soft with this and making Naruto 100% the center of this manga ( I know it's called Naruto, but if he's going to do that then there should be only Naruto and Villains, no other people only those four characters)... that doesn't make any sense, he simply shows that Naruto will save the world and everything... damn that's so....

it was funny to be honest... kinda cruel, but funny XD

Sasuke said that he wouldn't forgive. So i guess he didn't really wanna know why Itachi protects Konoha so much. He just can't understand. He just wants revenge.

Maybe Itachi knows he can't change his brother, and believes Naruto can, dunno.

Notice that Sasuke says that Itachi was the one who made him that way.
That's very immature of him. He can´t stand up for his life choices.

You guys cant forget that itachi is under genjutsu.. Right no his only purpose is to save his village and he trust naruto to save sasuke.. If itachi fixed sasuke now their would be no final NARUTO VS SASUKE battle.

Sasuke has literally said he would never forgive Konoha. I doubt Itachi would be able to change his mind. Itachi himself doesn't believe he can, so he trusts Naruto to be able to do that. And frankly, I think Naruto has a bigger shot at convincing Sasuke than Itachi.
Plus it's better for the fate of the ninja world if Itachi stops the jutsu now, instead of letting it go any longer and thereby risking more victims. Itachi realizes that and that's why he wants to stop the Edo Tensei now.

Of course, but don't you think he's acting just a little bit too cold? Hell, he doesn't even smack the back of Sasuke's head, as an older brother should when his little brother is up to no good shenanigans (lulz, sharingans).

Kishi is getting soft with this and making Naruto 100% the center of this manga

Lol the Uchihas are clearly the base of the manga currently. I mean, we havent seen Naruto fight for about 10 weeks now!!!! WTF dude...Everything revolves around Sasg@y in Shippuden.

Hm, maybe, but then again, he and Sasuke never spent that much time together. Itachi loves his little brother yes, but he considers the fate of the ninja world more important, than comforting his own brother. Millions of lives against one life - which do you think is more important to Itachi?
But he hasn't stopped the Edo Tensei yet. Maybe when he manages to stop it, he will poke Sasuke's head one last time before fading out or so.

Nope I don't think so, you're thinking for this moment... think for the future... Naruto will be the only one to save the world from this war....I wasn't saying for now or this chapter.

If he doesn't, I'll flip my table over in a sweet moment of nerd rage.

Besides, Hashirama and Tobirama had some time to apologize to Hiruzen when they were sealed. I hope Itachi will be able to say something nice.

I'm also starting to wonder if the Edo Tensei will actually stop Madara...I never thought it would, but after this chapter, I'm not so sure. It would be priceless to see the look on Madara's face when he realizes that he's being called back to the grave.

Question is: are Uchihas able to express affection? Or even say something nice to another? I mean Itachi's affection towards Sasuke was poking him in the forehead and taunting him to make sure he got stronger ...
The only one who really showed any type of affection was their mother.
I think most Uchihas are just emotionally stunted. They don't know how to express positive feelings - since it's been shown they do know how to express anger, fury, etc ... Even regret a bit.
Anyway, I digress. I think Tobi will be the one who's going to be furious once he notices that his help is disappearing again ^^;
