Naruto Shippuuden Episode 203 [Canon]

[TNTxTNT]

I can't really remember Sasuke's fight with Itachi that well. Didn't Itachi has some sort of guardian like that? Was that the same thing as Sasuke's? What are all these "mangekyou levels"? And weren't you supposed to kill your friend a little while ago?

I always love hearing history about the ninja world. Every time Madara talks man, he tells a little more. He's Mr. Exposition.


I don't have a problem with how their portraying Amaterasu in this fight. It's exactly the same as it is when Itachi used it on Sasuke. He hit Sasuke in the wing with it, but Sasuke had the time to pretend to burn up and shed his skin without taking any real damage.

The fact that it cost a Kage an arm seems more than powerful enough to me.

He did. His Magekyou awakened when he realized, after he had killed him, that his best friend was actually Itachi.

Assuming the third knew the true history of the leaf, why did he pair Naruto and Sasuke on Team 7? The way Madara puts it, that's like having a cobra, a mongoose and a flamingo team up. I wonder what will happen when they become powerful.

Well, keep in mind that they didn't know Madara was alive, and that they knew Itachi didn't want Sasuke to follow the path of the Uchiha.

So bearing that in mind, how would Sasuke have reached this point? Even though he was consumed by vengeance, Itachi would have died letting Sasuke think he was the bad guy and, if Madara hadn't told him about Itachi and their Clan's history, Sasuke would probably be back with the Leaf by now, having successfully completed his lifelong ambition.
