Hey guys, this is my first time posting on Narutobase so tell me if I'm doing anything wrong ^^
I just found it really strange that Naruto's words had absolutely NO IMPACT on Sasuke's decision-making process. He made the decision solely based on Hashirama's talk no jutsu and Itachi's last words. Hell, Sasuke's decision to resurrect the hokages were all because of Itachi's words.
Don't get me wrong, I really loved the new chapter, and I think most people were waiting for Sasuke to make that decision. But isn't it really disappointing that after all the drama about Naruto "saving Sasuke" and "bringing him back", it was just completely ineffectual?
I mean, what about Itachi's "I entrust Sasuke to you" speech??
And Naruto's promise to bear all of Sasuke's hatred (and DIE with him)? All the freaking drama and tension?
And the numerous parallels drawn between Naruto and Sasuke, how one is light and one is trapped in the dark, how one values love while one seeks brute power, blahblahblah, how they are fated to play those roles in the cycle of repeating history, etc. etc.
>>WHAT WAS THE PURPOSE OF ALL THIS?!?!
In my opinion it wasn't purely just to build Naruto's character. I was so sure that it would be Naruto changing Sasuke's opinion, as unoriginal as it sounds.
What do you guys think? Am I the only one who feels this way?
Maybe Naruto will change something else about Sasuke. All this foreshadowing and chasing after Sasuke (which was the entire Shippuden) couldn't have been for nothing. Maybe he'll change Sasuke's outlook on how "bonds make you weak" thing, I don't know. I really hope Kishimoto resolves all the tension in the coming chapters, but it was personally disappointing for me to see that Naruto had been running around for 300+ chapters claiming that he understands Sasuke and will bring him back for nothing... How stupid would he feel when he sees Sasuke in the battlefield? xD
