Naruto 696
It appears that Sasuke’s got the upper hand right now, which is only adding to my prediction that Naruto’s totally got this. This is the big fight we’ve all been waiting for and it has to be good, so the more of a fight they put up, the better, even if we’re terrified for their lives. Hell, especially if we’re terrified for their lives.
What a sad chapter, though. :( Sasuke seriously wants to be the enemy of the world for eternity to swing world peace? He’s not stupid. Some part of him needs to realize how naive that is. Not to mention, he’s dealt with more than enough shit. He doesn’t need a fucking eternity of it to follow.
I wonder if Sasuke’ll say more things that strike a nerve with Naruto. Now that they’ve totally read each others’ “feelings” I can see them trying to psyche one another out now with all that knowledge, which would be a lot more interesting that just a bunch of punches and explosions, or one-sided talk-no-jutsu. We could be looking at some seriously unique ways to make love into a weapon. Can you imagine?
