Been a while since I've made a serious thread, so here goes.
A lot of the complaints about the last chapter were to do with Sasuke's new goal, and how it was very abrupt and even rushed of which I agree, but it isn't nearly as abrupt as people are making out. This change started in chapter 590 when this happened. It also essentially nullified everything said at the Samurai Bridge, but I'll save that for another day
In the previous chapter, Sasuke rambles on about how he won't change whatever Itachi says, and his hatred for Konoha grows more, but at the end of this chapter Itachi basically throws down the gauntlet for Sasuke
He wanted Sasuke to change things. Two key themes in this war have been the meaning of Shinobi and peace, both of these being explored through Sasuke and Naruto. Sasuke asked this question in
Shinobi endure to achieve their goals. Sasuke saw how much Itachi had to endure, and what the village meant, his love for his brother superseded his hatred for the village, depending on their goals they change, which is exactly what Sasuke has done. He refuses to let his brother's sacrifice go to waste and instead wants to protect it, and even change it, he doesn't love the village, he acknowldeges it is screwed up an wants to change it for his brother and his clan's sake. He has chosen to endure the pain of losing his clan in order to change the village as a true shinobi.
This change is also important plot wise. I previously ruled out Sasuke as the representation of the elder son because he didn't care about peace. But now, I believe he is the perfect example of the elder son's ideals, not to say he is evil, but he has conflicting ideologies about peace, one of the other key points about the war. What I though was essentially defining plot wise was this page here
Sasuke wants to change the village so this stuff never happens again, but is prepared to do it without caring about the people of the village's opinion ie. he wants to create peace by might. Naruto is the opposite and wants to be acknowledged by the village and become Hokage, that was always what he wanted although he has matured and nowt wants it in the opposite order to before ie. peace though love, further setting up Naruto and Sasuke's final confrontation. That's why I think that Naruto and Sasuke represent the younger and elder son better than Hashi and Madara, because they are essentially two sides of the same coin, even more so now. Although I think the sage will return I don't think he will interact with them both as he has already made his choice (Younger son). Naruto will try to make Sasuke understand what it truly is to be Hokage, and that is what their final fight will be about.
Thanks for reading if you did, I'll probably have another thread on Minato and KCM later on so look out for that and give me your thoughts on the thread and Sasuke's change overall.
