As I have stated elsewhere, I have become steadily more annoyed with the manga-ka, and hope he will cease stalling. He has an inordinant amount of skill in holding everything off, but at this point he is coming up short. I had expected 218 and 219 to go as they did, but 220 caught me off guard. All I know at the moment is that it is all talking in a flashback. To merit wasting an entire episode it had better be critically important.
Psycho Ann wrote:Eventhough I'm also dissapointed in the apparent stalling, I can't say that 220 is a total waste for me. There's quite a bit of information on the Uchiha in general, especially regarding them to be Konoha's protectors. And man, seeing the bond between Itachi and Sasuke just breaks my heart knowing what's going on later. (This is going to sound uncharacteristically fan-girly but... Itachi is so drool-worthy when he was young and brotherly. *insert fan-girlish swoon*)
As for the next chapter, I think Kishimoto is going to somehow reveal just why Itachi decided to do what he did. All I can say is... Kishimoto better make the impending fight between Sasuke and Naruto worth the wait and flashbacks.
Another thing off topic... it just seem funny to me how strong the gene pool is for families in Naruto. Father, son, and youngest son somehow all agreed to have that same part-in-the-middle-chin-length bangs. Also 220 has got to be one of the most inked chapters with all the black haired people wearing dark clothes.

Predictions, anyone? Just for fun. I can't think of anything intelligent at the moment.
I must say apart from looks, the attitude and personality genes running in Sasuke's bloodline show up very well too. Perhap Sasuke's dad would have been proud of Sasuke's poker face. Now I'm starting to feel for Sasuke again...Gah Masashi-sama, hurry up with it, my opinions of Sasuke keep fluctuating!
[fangirl]Ann, I wasn't really a fan of Itachi but I shall now squeal "Itachi is So Hot!!!" and swoon [/fangirl]
Mave wrote:I predict that Itachi killed the whole Uchiha clan to protect Sasuke from his own clan. How about that? Heh, but I haven't been able to rationalize that yet. I'm just hoping for a good excuse for Sasuke NOT to kill his brother.
But really, how many of you think the dreams of the Kakashi team will become true? What are the chances like, percentage wise? (These are all purely opinion based, of course)
1) Sasuke actually kills Itachi - 40% (I haven't decided whether I want this to happen because we haven't seen the real picture yet but I am also considering Sasuke's ability to kill Itachi at the moment)
2) Naruto becomes Hokage - 95% (first, the hero always gets what he wants and it's beautiful irony that the fox demon that once used to destroy the Villages, now is used to protect the villages, through Naruto as the Hokage)
3) Sakura marries Sasuke - erm...tough one, at the moment, it's very low...maybe 30%?
blkmage wrote:I think that's doubtful.
If Itachi did do it to protect Sasuke, why did he make him relive "the day?" Why did Itachi make him hate him, etc?
If that were the explanation, it'd make sense that Sasuke hates him if he doesn't know. That doesn't account for Itachi beating Sasuke into a bloody heap after they found Naruto, though.

Let's face it, these kids are still just kids, and they won't be able to make anything vaguely resembling a real decision about their lives for some time now. I'd actually prefer we not see said relationships anytime soon, because they would probably be doomed to eventual failure.
That having been said:
I think Sakura already appreciates Rock Lee (and Naruto) to a certain extent. As for Naruto noticing Hinata... give him ten years or so. He's maturing, but only in some ways.
Psycho Ann wrote:Yeah, 221 was a bit draggy... Probably his editors are forcing him to draw fillers. *shrugs* I'm not complaining too much just yet--especially my fangirl side XD Next chapter's "Downfall of the Uchiha" sounds interesting though.
