Sorry in advance if the spacing and images are all messed up....the Base combined with my computer is completely screwy at the moment.

After today's chapter....Sasuke pretty much looks like he's gone insane....Protect Konoha, but kill the Hero of Konoha.

HOWEVER, based on the previous chapters my guess is that there is a little more than the Naruto rivaly.

The Uchiha Tablet

You must be registered for see images

To start, Sasuke obviously read whatever Madara has read up to the level of EMS on the Uchiha Stone Tablet. I am assuming that something he read here, combined with what Hashirama explained during his flashback, changed his mind about crushing Konoha.

I am theorizing that the Tablet likely has some comments on the Bijuu, and Sasuke has decided that the fall of his clan may be the fault of the Bijuu/Juubi's existence even before Danzo, Itachi, and Obito.

Burn It Down

You must be registered for see images

This was the first image showing us that Sasuke truly did have an alternative plan...or at least something going on in his mind. And he specifically says, "Burn it down." Obviously he refers to the Juubi and his desire to see it burn into nothingness.....which, combined with his facial expression, shows extreme hatred towards the thing.

I'll Erase The Past

You must be registered for see images

With today's recent chapter, we see that Sasuke once again has what appear to be extreme flaws in logic (Protect Konoha...but apparently kill the Hero of Konoha).

However, approaching with a more analytical insight reveals a less "flawed logic" approach. Notice that in the picture....the sword slash SPECIFICALLY goes through Naruto. Instead of jus shattering the entirety of the Team 7 photo (including Sakura and Kakashi)...the images SPECIFICALLY slashes through Naruto.

And what does Naruto have in common with the Juubi? Obviously the answer would be Kurama, but how can we further prove this....with Sasuke's words.

Sasuke says, "Not you...I will erase the past!" The only thing Naruto really has that could link both Juubi Possessed Obito and Naruto with past is the fact that Naruto is Kurama's Jinjuriki...meaning that Sasuke isn't exactly targeting Naruto because he's Naruto, but by coincidence he's Kurama's Jinjuriki.

Conclusion

Sasuke's current endeavor is likely to eliminate the Juubi based on information he read on the Tablet. He had a rather sincere like appearance when he said he'd spare Konoha, and that leads me to believe he was not lying. Further proof of this seems to be that little "Heh!" smile he gave when Sakura went all Falcon Punch against the ground as well as the fact the Team 7 Photo doesn't slice Sakura or Kakashi.

From his intense stare and quote of wanting to burn the Juubi away....as well as specifically targeting Naruto mentioning he wishes to erase the past leads me to believe Sasuke is targeting Kurama more than specifically Naruto. This will also possibly mean that Sasuke will strike out against Killer Bee as well.

My final thought would be that we also seemingly don't know what Madara is up to....we have been complaining about his "Lack of doing anything" with the whole Infinite Tsukiyomi; however, with Sasuke not even acknowledging he's there...this could possibly further lead us to believe both Sasuke is against the Juubi...and that Madara may have an alternate game plan.

I myself found this a little obvious so to those who wish to say, "Way to go captain obvious," I will say I prefer Colonel Obvious :cool:!

Anyways let me know what you think!

I think this is a good possibility. You're right about Sasuke being confused. It seems like he's been through too much and doesn't know what to think anymore.

I agree about the Tablet. Since reviving the Hokages I've been thinking that his plans must have something to do with it. I think that if it was not important, Kishi would have shown Sasuke reading the Tablet and discussing it with Oro, but I think he must have read something important enough to keep it to himself (hence Juugo not knowing) and important enough that Kishi didn't show it yet.

This make more sense. Though, I don't think Sasuke will be dumb enough to pick a fight to the death with Naruto once the war is over. Moreover, I don't think the entire Shinobi world will stand by while Sasuke attempts to kill him.

Chances are more likely that Naruto will tell everyone not to interfere with his fight with Sasuke in order to save Sasuke from his curse of hatred.

Very constructive and great observation. It's logical fans like you that I can gain respect for.

In all honesty Sasuke is very much confused. It Isn't like he just got out of rehab. He still hurts, and he seems to be looking for a resolve with only plain sight by the regards of his brother. He shouldn't be making his choices based off the ground of his big bro. If he could conclude a truth in himself, a lot of things wouldn't be sounding the way it is.
I think Naruto will be the one to help serve that closure. And he did proclaim them only understanding each other through their fists.

Great theory. I also believe Sasuke is targeting Kurama, not Naruto. All of these events will eventually lead to one last fight - Naruto vs Sasuke.

Well, Sasuke will now have to pay a price Attack Kurama is an attack on Naruto thats what a partnership is. Now we will See in the next chapter What two Women will do Hinata and Sakura. Hinata wants to protect Naruto and Sakura must now make a decision on Sasuke even if She dose not like it or face being not trusted by Her friends for not acting and helping Naruto.

Tough stuff for Sakura.....I'd honestly be saddened if she turns away from him...she's loved him dearly in part I and even though it started as just a crush...by his departure it was apparent love....if she turns back because of his darkness...while I guess logical, kind of sad for its build up. Kind of like that love she won't give up on even if it's destined to fail kinda thing.

Hinata has less work to do in that department!

We can't have everyone trolling...some of us have to be logical ;) Appreciate that!

On Topic though: I agree....he just lost his brother...again and this time knowing the truth. So he's definitely hurting, and I'd say that could even go into adding to his shift on the Bijuu...the tablet may have had something he instantly connected with his current state. Good point!

Of course! My guess is that he'd fight Sasuke alone or a few weeks after this battle...Naruto has saved the alliance multiple times. No way they'd just sit there....I'm betting they go to the Valley of the End

Good points on the tablet and Juugo! That part completely past over my head!

Hahaha thanks! I had hoped the title would draw some attention :cool:...I'm personally not even a big Uchiha fan...much less a Sasuke fan.

Oh i understand, my bad, right now NB is infected by a lot of sasuke's fanboys, you can't even have a nice thread of naruto without turning it into a naruto vs sasuke.

But what you're saying is true, i can't wait until naruto has to choose if letting sasuke live or not. :cool:

This is a much more acceptable take on the situation, Sasuke Killing Naruto just because does not line up with Sasuke's intention of protecting Konoha.

It would make more sense for him to want to create a new system with no bijou at all, so that there is no competition between villages to control their power, equalizing the different nations.

I'm sorry is he just....I donno ignoring reality?? The Biju are here to stay....forever the only true constant. They can't be destroyed lol. If the sage couldn't destroy the juubi then fat chance he can.

He can't be so stupid as to think he can do that.....I doubt he even has a plan if judging by his attempt at "destroying" the juubi via Amaterasu arrow LOL. Total fail, I'm really beginning to wonder who the genius in team 7 was.....

You underestimate his hatred Lol

He was the strategist in team 7. His attention to detail, strategy, and planning throughout the manga has been evident of his intelligence, and I wouldn't throw that out just because he is talking crazy now. He knows something and has a plan. :cool:

That Uchiha Tablet likely has the answers we need to understand his odd actions as of late.

Sasuke thinks erasing the past will somehow bring back the Uchiha Clan? Well, thats easy said than done. If it was that easy don't you think Madara would have done so that His brother would have ben back to Him instead of creating the Moon eye Plan.

Agreed. All we know about it so far is that it talks about the cooperation between Yin and Yang as the solution, but that it also has another way to be interpreted. The second interpretation changed Madara and looks to have given Sasuke insight.

A ton of resolution will come from what is on that tablet, and seems to be the key link in understanding both Madara and Sasuke at this point.
