AWESOME Chapter. I'll give it a 5. I deem that this could be the denouement--up to a few succeeding chapters. And BAM, finally the climactic, epic part!
At last, this is getting a bit more realistic...Sasuke is gone blind (say, 99.9999999% blind)!
...well, except that Sasuke has gotten another powerup [again, as already expected] before totally losing it.
WTH's with Sasuke's Susanoo?

It looks to me like some shark-like figure coating the Susanoo.
Anyway, I'd love that Naruto finally arrives! Too sad, Kakashi's chakra is still drained by Kamui. Nevertheless, it's one of the best MS techs in the manga! How I wish Kakashi would be made stronger...
As for Sakura, what's new? Again, her arse is saved. Her jutsu skills never improved, IMO. It's pretty much still comparable (or worse, inferior) to Sasuke at a genin level. The only useful thing she does is to just stay in the background [and go to the kitchen lol]. On a serious note, her medical ninjutsu's the only thing in the works. PFF! I think Kishi's downplaying kunoichis.
I can't wait for the nex chapter
*adrenaline rushes*!!! xd
Though, it'd appear like some gayish exchange of spouts by Naruto and Sasuke dominating the pages. I'm guessing Madara will appear amid the battle. He needs to save the poor blind EMO madman from his former teammates.
OTOH, I'm liking that Sasuke's gone mad. At least, it'd kind of affect on how he thinks amidst the battle in an adverse way.
Seems like Sasuke has no choice but to replace his badly damaged peepers, and of course, attain EMS. Uh-oh!
Maybe, by the time he gets the EMS and hence the epic battle begins, Naruto will show a flashy jutsu given by Itachi.
Another maybe, he may show it too soon!
This is nuts how can Sasuke still use Susanoo and he also got another power up. The Susanoo was upgraded again

we may see it upgrade to a point where it is even bigger than the tailed beasts. And Sakura is just pathetic almost getting killed by a 99% blind Sasuke. She is the real burden I was cheering for Sasuke to kill her.
IKR! Oh well, I'm half-expecting it. He's been gaining tons of powerups lately amidst battles. OTOH, good thing he finally got past the demarcation line, as he's blind already.
Well, I'm dying to see Sakura dead, too. lolol

But maybe Kishi's gonna pull off something that will make her useful in the later chapters. I'm more than dying to see that! Perhaps, we can see it during the climactic part of the series! But, all I can do for now is to wonder, wish and assume...
hi, i'm sorry but don't completly agree with you. Yes itachi wanted peace, but he wanted peace for his brother, not to himself, and then if sasuke knew that itachi wanted peace he wouldn't go after revenge. When he killed danzo he said that's one down nii-saan, he was proud of himself and he wanted iachi to recognize that, so i think that if that's the point sasuke could accept his brother's eyes.
All I know is Itachi's more of a pacifist. Itachi wanted peace in GENERAL, particularly in his village. He throve amidst witnessing the third great shinobi war, which really molded such personality. And, as we all know, Itachi's allegiance to Konoha is unbreakable Even when he joined the Akatsuki, he's still thinking about the safety of the village. That's why Madara couldn't touch Konoha when he was still alive coz he forbid so. Yet more than anything, the most important person for him [insert incest here. lolol] is his younger brother, Sasuke.
Sasuke couldn't accept the eyes then, coz he wanted to start a WAR. He doesn't want to let Konoha go unscathed. He want the village destroyed. And, this pretty much against Itachi's dogma. I believe that's what Sasuke meant by saying they share different visions.
Nevertheless, Sasuke has no choice but to get a new pair of eyes, more likely Itachi's. Sasuke is soo mad and corrupted with vengeance and rancor right now that I don't think he would still mind about them having "opposing visions". Sasuke is in berserk mode, and come the epic battle, Naruto will tame and pwn him face flat!
