runespoorZOMG kidSuke is the cutest thing ever. With his TOYS. And his poutiness. And his big brother hero-worship. (Speaking as an older sister, I miss those days.)
Mikoto is Kishi's ultimate housewife mother. Is there one scene she's not wearing her apron? But it's nice seeing her as more than "she's such a kid mother". I like her going 'HOMEWORK >:O'.
Is it just me, or are the new pictures of this chapter (those that weren't used before) the less beautiful of the lot? Itachi's and Sasuke's face have a too-simplistic look, I think.
Oh, Fugaku, you are smiling? Too bad that I still don't like you. Would it kill you to acknowledge that Sasuke was talking to you?
Hee Mikoto going HOMEWORK! >:O again.
Then 5 pages of repost. I get the significance of this just as much as anyone, but the drawings are still prettier than the rest of the chapter, Kishi. It's not on.
Oh no, sorry, 7 pages of repost with 1 small weird-looking Itachi in the middle of it all.
Itachi's smile reminds me of Sai.
That aside, YOU ARE BREAKING MY HEART, both of you crazy Uchiha. (Itachi don't do this to me noooo.) "There won't be a next time." ............. ;_;
Sasuke, you make even anguished crying look pretty. (in spite of the lines on your brow, but it's forgiven, because you look so anguished-pretty). Now I really wish I knew what he's crying about, except that I'm not convinced he knows himself. Probably Itachi-as-an-older-brother, since that's what the flashbacks were all about. But there's also the loss-of-illusion dimension, in that at the same time, he's lost ot only his purpose, but the reason for it in the first place. You could say he's lost Itachi twice since Itachi died.
...Suigetsu won against Kisame? And Kishi spared us the fight? Uh. I hope what happened to Kisame is made clear in the next few chapters, else it'd be frustrating.
OH LOOK A HAWK.
ZOMG HE CHANGED THE TEAM'S NAME. This is beyond dorkiness. ZOMG.
And then he gives the SAME SPEECH as when he first called the team Hebi. I call this proof that he did have the speech prepared.
"The complete and utter destruction of the Leaf!" I CALLED IT. I SO CALLED IT.
zomg Sasuke you're such a little pawn. You'd make such an awful leader for anything that requires more than a little strategy and carrying on orders. I do think he's at his best when following orders, even if he fancies himself doing thigs 'in his own way' and 'on his own power'. BTW, Sasuke's last expression is the same as it was when he was walking away from the VotE and thinking just that (Scariest Eyes Ever notwithstanding.) (Also, you really do need a Purpose in your life, don't you? Damn you Itachi for messing up your little brother like that.)
Sasuke you so, so easy to manipulate and so, so predictable for anyone who read the last chapters. Unless you're faking. I certainly hope you are. A happy ending would be much harder to come by if you're not. But I do think you're not. Please show me I'm underestimating you again. (the way you did with Oro, when I was thinking you really were planning on giving him your body.)
Naruto & co are in for a nasty, nasty shock of epic proportions. And of course, I can't see Sasuke just agreeing to tell them why he suddenly went from 'must kill brother' to 'must DESTROY KONOHA'.
One thing is interesting in this choice for a motivation, though, because apparently he resents Konoha for making Itachi turn on the clan more than another reason. After all, Madara did help Itachi and Sasuke hasn't attacked him yet.
So, to sum up: mostly sucky art except for the last three pages and Sasuke crying. Interesting concept. Chances that the manga will have a happy ending: incredibly lower than before Madara decided to do his number on Sasuke.

Date: 2008-06-05 04:00 am (UTC)Yes, this is the reason I've been somewhat depressed because of the Naruto manga lately. Sasuke going after Konoha itself rather than just Danzou and the elders was the absolute last thing I wanted to happen (Sasuke you fricken' dumbass D:<). The only thing I can hope for now is that he actually meant Danzou and not Konoha itself or he's trying to carry out a plan to destroy Konoha but just can't bring himself to kill innocent people.
I just had such high hopes for Sasuke. I still like him, but what I really liked about Sasuke in Part 2 is that he had a moral ambiguity about him, that he was definitely wrong in joining Orochimaru but he was still good in that he refused to kill people, even ones that weren't particularly innocent or good. Now he's really a villain, and it bothers me. Whatever, I haven't lost hope completely that this might turn out well.

Date: 2008-06-05 11:15 pm (UTC)Or perhaps he'll change his mind when confronted with the fact/ Naruto&Sakura? I can't believe Sasuke would be ready to slaughter an entire village. Then again, that was before he'd found out the original Uchiha slaughter was ordered by the village, so... Still, that'd be taking his Itachi-worship a liiiitle too far. :/
Whether or not he actually means what he says, though, I don't think he's become a true villain. To begin with, he's far too emotional at the moment to be considered so.

IAWTC. So much.

*cliiiings* INORITE. *iz emoshunal* WE NEED TO STICK TOGETHER.
THIS MANGA WILL GET A HAPPY ENDING.
