^ I am stoned. But its kinda funny lol.
I'm stoned and it ruined my high.
lol joking. (At least about having my high ruined)
For real though, the term "Dr. Snakes" sort of rubbed me the wrong way at first too, mostly because it felt out of place, especially for Itachi in a situation like that. Then I thought back and realized, Itachi actually makes a couple jokes here and there both before and after his death. He just tends to have a really dry sense of humor, with undetectable punchlines, as evidenced by his coining the phrase itself.
So basically I've come to grow ok with it. I don't love it and I don't have to. I find it simply ok. Not gonna lie though, my first thought when I read that was that I must be reading a horribly translated chapter. And I still kinda feel that way.
