[livejournal.com profile] askerian: "itachi said it was all your doing!" HE TRUSTS HIS WORD ANYWAY X3
[livejournal.com profile] mildmay: XD
[livejournal.com profile] askerian: oh sasuke. T___T
[livejournal.com profile] askerian: you know, it's impossible to trust tobi has sasuke's best interests at heart BECAUSE he told him "the truth"
[livejournal.com profile] askerian: because the truth was what would hurt sasuke the most.
[livejournal.com profile] mildmay: Yeah, I agree. ):
[livejournal.com profile] mildmay: Itachi obviously wanted Sasuke to move on from his death feeling as though he accomplished something good.
[livejournal.com profile] askerian: omg page 9 sasuke's ohnoes face
[livejournal.com profile] askerian: his lover what
[livejournal.com profile] mildmay: UM YEAH.
[livejournal.com profile] askerian: HE WAS 13 >P
[livejournal.com profile] mildmay: Fandom has been talking about NOTHING but that since the spoilers broke. I have no idea.
[livejournal.com profile] mildmay: YEAH
[livejournal.com profile] askerian: ... hahahaha maybe he means shisui
[livejournal.com profile] askerian: *giggles*
[livejournal.com profile] mildmay: That's. My thought. >.>
[livejournal.com profile] askerian: but srsly it was lazy art week. half the thing is reposts.
[livejournal.com profile] mildmay: Yeah. I felt the same way. XD
[livejournal.com profile] mildmay: Kishimoto used up all his creativity coming up with trauma faces for Sasuke for the past 3 chapters. ):
[livejournal.com profile] askerian: uuuuchihaceeeeest X3

[livejournal.com profile] questofdreams: Sasuke mentions Akatsuki and Madara conveniently forgets to mention he's pretty much their ring leader XDD OH SASUKE YOU TARD
[livejournal.com profile] questofdreams: STOP BEING SO GULLIBLE
[livejournal.com profile] askerian: XD
[livejournal.com profile] mildmay: Ahahaha. XD
[livejournal.com profile] mildmay: Yes.
[livejournal.com profile] askerian: also i hate his shirt. bring back the sleeveless black top and sexy gloves!!
[livejournal.com profile] mildmay: Yes.
[livejournal.com profile] mildmay: That was Sasuke's best outfit. ):
[livejournal.com profile] askerian: well he didn't wear the sexy gloves with the sleeveless kimono top. but. yes.
[livejournal.com profile] mildmay: I sort of love that Itachi wanted to release him from the curse seal. >.>
[livejournal.com profile] askerian: BUT AT LEAST HE HAS A BIG UCHIHA FAN AGAIN YESS.

[livejournal.com profile] questofdreams: 13 yr old Itachi with a lover is disturbingly appealing
[livejournal.com profile] questofdreams: everyone can now safely ship sasunaru when they were 13 yr old genin and blame canon
[livejournal.com profile] questofdreams: BUT KISHIMOTO DID IT FIRST!
[livejournal.com profile] mildmay: It sort of boggles and amuses me.
[livejournal.com profile] askerian: Was it a boy or a girl? XD
[livejournal.com profile] askerian: bwahahaha.
[livejournal.com profile] askerian: "With a girl."
"did she use a strap-on?"
itachi: *kills with his brain* >.>
itachi: just because i'm PRETTY! >O
[livejournal.com profile] mildmay: Heeeee. XD
[livejournal.com profile] mildmay: Being pretty. Such a curse. u.u
[livejournal.com profile] mildmay: NOW I think boy? Now I think Shisui. >.>
[livejournal.com profile] mildmay: Though there's a translation out there that says "girlfriend" but the word used in Japanese isn't gender specific, so.
[livejournal.com profile] askerian: Kisame: ... but you told me I was your first ;_____;
itachi: ... first man.
kisame: ... well that's good, at least -- wait, by man do you mean male or do you mean older than boy?
itachi: ... >.>;;;

[livejournal.com profile] questofdreams: but he's so pretty... and gay. Seriously, what kind of straight man stands on the shore and watches the waves crash?
[livejournal.com profile] questofdreams: it was such an emo shot
[livejournal.com profile] questofdreams: *sighs happily*


[livejournal.com profile] mildmay: I wonder what Madara's reason for telling Sasuke all this was, though. I mean. Was it just to mess with his head and make him easier to manipulate? To turn him against Konoha? What? I am curious.
[livejournal.com profile] askerian: "work for me, I like you, great grandson♥"?
[livejournal.com profile] mildmay: Ahahaha. XD
[livejournal.com profile] mildmay: Maybe! But I'd hope Sasuke would have better sense. D:
[livejournal.com profile] askerian: Sasuke could go so many ways. destroy konoha vbecause itachi wanted it safe, protect konoha because itachi wanted it safe... fufufu.
[livejournal.com profile] askerian: yeah, he should at least check up on it
[livejournal.com profile] mildmay: Yes. That's why I like this twist. Well. part of the reason why I like it (the other part being that I am a sucker for tragic stories like Itachi's). Because it opens up so many new roads for Sasuke. Before he only had this ONE THING. This ONE motivation that consumed him. But now he has all this new information and it's like "what are you going to do with this, Sasuke?" So it makes things interesting plot wise. To me, at least.
[livejournal.com profile] askerian: Yeah. Also I like that everything he clung to and believed with all his life was a big fat lie. |DDD
[livejournal.com profile] mildmay: Well.
[livejournal.com profile] askerian: believed with. what.
[livejournal.com profile] mildmay: >.>
[livejournal.com profile] mildmay: Yes.
[livejournal.com profile] mildmay: Poor Sasuke.
[livejournal.com profile] mildmay: His life being turned upside down IS kind of awesome. XD;;;
[livejournal.com profile] askerian: Mmmmmmmmh.
[livejournal.com profile] askerian: *purrrs*
[livejournal.com profile] mildmay: Another thing I like is the depth Itachi's speech about reality takes on now. Because he created Sasuke's reality. And it wasn't real at all.
[livejournal.com profile] askerian: *purrs* Mhh. yes. But dude too many layers. XD.
[livejournal.com profile] mildmay: Yes. XD
[livejournal.com profile] askerian: So many "haha, that wasn't real in the end!!"
[livejournal.com profile] askerian: In the end i'm left feeling like that big fight really was kind of pointless for Sasuke. Except he got to use Kirin, which is kickass. So yay.
[livejournal.com profile] askerian: He got played like a flute from start to finish.
[livejournal.com profile] mildmay: Well, he got Amaterasu out of it?
[livejournal.com profile] askerian: XD he didn't even want it!
[livejournal.com profile] mildmay: XD
[livejournal.com profile] mildmay: True.
[livejournal.com profile] mildmay: But Amaterasu is awesome. ):
[livejournal.com profile] askerian: it's as if after destroying his clan itachi had given him a lollipop.
[livejournal.com profile] askerian: "well, yes, I betrayed your trust and horribly massacred everyone... BUT AT LEAST YOUR BLOOD SUGAR WILL STAY UP!"
[livejournal.com profile] askerian: Seriously, in fact it's very much as if they'd gotten killed off again. He lost his good memories of them.
[livejournal.com profile] mildmay: Well, but. Sasuke wasn't supposed to know the truth. So it WOULDN'T have been pointless. If Madara had kept his mouth shut. Or died by Amaterasu like a good boy. (You're not a good boy, Tobi. You're not a bood boy at all D< )
[livejournal.com profile] askerian: XD
[livejournal.com profile] askerian: Yeah. And how come he can trust Madara's motives when he pissed on Itachi's motive like that? He can't. u.u
[livejournal.com profile] mildmay: XD
[livejournal.com profile] mildmay: Yeah.
[livejournal.com profile] askerian: YOUR BROTHER HATED AND DESPISED HIM, SASUKE, THIS IS A HINT D<
[livejournal.com profile] mildmay: YES.
[livejournal.com profile] askerian: -- no it's not a hint that you should marry him! asswipe.
[livejournal.com profile] mildmay: Hehehehe. XD
[livejournal.com profile] askerian: Srsly haven't you been butt-buddies with enough old pedos by now.
[livejournal.com profile] mildmay: It's true. ):
[livejournal.com profile] mildmay: But, yeah, I think you're right. Sasuke might feel pretty empty after this. Like everything was pointless. He looks so sad in the last frame of the chapter. T_T
[livejournal.com profile] askerian: T________________T
[livejournal.com profile] askerian: He needs to meet up with naruto and sakura again! AND HAVE SEX.
[livejournal.com profile] mildmay: Ahahaha. XD
[livejournal.com profile] askerian: He was smiling when he looked at the Naruto bridge! The last genuine smile we saw him give.
[livejournal.com profile] askerian: ... SEE? SEE? OT3 = CANON.
[livejournal.com profile] askerian: And it even was by the sea, too. THE PARALLELS, THEY ARE BLINDINGLY OBVIOUS.

And in conclusion, still nothing much to say. Apart from 1) brokensuke = A++ and 2) Sasuke I love you but OH MAN I AM SO READY TO SEE WHAT TEAM KONOHA IS UP TO.



pssst previous meme still open plz loev me.

[identity profile] twitty-twit.livejournal.com 2008-05-23 06:02 am (UTC)(link)
I'm afraid to think where Kishimoto is going with this. I'm just praying whatever he has planned doesn't have me throwing my mouse into my monitor LOL

I second your motion for some TEAM KONOHA! All this Uchiha-angst is killing me T_T This last chapter has me kinda teary eyed for both Itachi and Sasuke-- I don't even know what to think. Naruto needs to find Sasuke NOW and irritate/charm/smex! the angst of him ;_;

But Itachi... half of me wants to *rolleye at his tragic story while the other half just wants to bawl my eyes out. God, loving his brother THAT MUCH, going through all that just to die (and die happy) so that he can ensure Sasuke's safety and reputation in Konoha... grrr, I seriously want someone to punt those village elders into a mudpit- and don't get me started on Danzo. The last few chapters have seriously got me convinced that Konoha doesn't deserve any of those characters. All of our favorite ninjas need to just start their own village without these back-handed old bastards >:(

[identity profile] lurker-lost.livejournal.com 2008-05-23 06:31 am (UTC)(link)
yes. But dude too many layers. XD
UNDERNEATH THE UNDERNEATH >=O

Seriously, in fact it's very much as if they'd gotten killed off again. He lost his good memories of them.
Ohhhh... So true.... Sasuke~~

Also, canon OT3 is canon. ^^

...And is anyone else wondering that since Sasuke has MS now (and it's on a whole 'nother level that he got it because he killed ITACHI!!!~~~ *SQUEEE*) whether he's slowly going to go blind because of it? Is Kakashi going blind for that matter... Actually, Kakashi isn't, his eye is already transplanted, but Sasuke has no way to get EMS (except... Madara?? O_o )

[identity profile] nev-longbottom.livejournal.com 2008-05-23 07:39 am (UTC)(link)
I gave a quiet scream when I read that Itachi was taking medicine to prolong his life. It was the moment Kishimoto went from "Super dramatic shounen manga" to "graphic novel form soap opera."

Also, Sasuke has a bad tendency to get slutty around powerful ninja. I'm a little worried he'll go all "Sucky sucky, five techniques" on Madara. Plus, if he joins the Akatsuki, Naruto's heart will break into pieces all over again, which he doesn't deserve.



At least he hasn't done a "What IF Kyuubi never attacked the village" arc where everyone appears well adjusted and happy or dead in a gutter.

[identity profile] oxbonkus.livejournal.com 2008-05-26 08:25 am (UTC)(link)
OH GOD DON'T JINX IT. D: *knocks on a whole goddamn forest*

But I really gotta agree with you on the strongsexualslut!Saskue. Prolly moreso for Brokensuke. Gotta fill that void somehow.

um...
Kisame and Suigetsu?

He needs to meet up with naruto and sakura again! AND HAVE SEX.

UM NOW THAT'S GENIUS.

(Anonymous) 2008-05-23 06:49 pm (UTC)(link)
Well. I guess this means that Sasuke's gonna go blind eventually, unless he steals Kakashi's or Madara's. Heheh, I wonder how that will come to pass...

[identity profile] garmiet.livejournal.com 2008-05-23 07:36 pm (UTC)(link)
Kishimoto used up all his creativity coming up with trauma faces for Sasuke for the past 3 chapters. ):
Or he just needs a break. He said that Sasuke was the hardest character to draw. Maybe his hand is tired.

BUT AT LEAST HE HAS A BIG UCHIHA FAN AGAIN YESS.
I kinda like the little one when he got older.

Seriously, what kind of straight man stands on the shore and watches the waves crash?
How is that gay? õ_ô

it was such an emo shot
((Kind of a shoujo-y shot to me))

"well, yes, I betrayed your trust and horribly massacred everyone... BUT AT LEAST YOUR BLOOD SUGAR WILL STAY UP!"
LOL. XDD

[identity profile] questofdreams.livejournal.com 2008-05-27 09:45 pm (UTC)(link)
How is that gay? õ_ô

hahah XD Please to not be taking me too seriously *cough*

I wasn't, I just didn't quite get it. ^^;

"Watch and you'll seeeeeee, someday I'll beeeeeee, part of your woooooorld"

...well, that's what was playing in my mind when I got to the last page, anyway. XD

Love the new outfit except for the short sleeves, love all the new possibilities that have opened up to Sasuke right now... but I'm still wondering:

1) Why the hell Madara told Sasuke all this.

2) Why the hell Madara told Zetsu to bring with him ITACHI'S CORPSE and then nothing was done with it. What? Did Zetsu eat him? Is Madara planning some sort of necrophilia? Did Sasuke take Itachi's body with him and toss him into the sea as way of a funeral, and that's why he's staring lovingly at the ocean? EXPLANATION NEEDED HERE, PLEASE! >_<

Also, lol at the lover comment. I doubt it's anything important, it was just something Kishi felt he had to add to show the readers that yes, Itachi did put Sasuke above ALL OTHER KINDS OF BONDS HE HAD, thank you very much. ^o^ Clearly, Sasuke was above lover-level for him!

"part of your wooorld…"

[identity profile] elrond-rambles.livejournal.com 2008-05-24 03:43 am (UTC)(link)
Oh good, it wasn't just me. *wipes brow*

Madara

[identity profile] elrond-rambles.livejournal.com 2008-05-24 03:48 am (UTC)(link)
What I'm really curious about is where Masashi's going with Madara after all this. I'm getting the feeling that we're going to move even further away from having real villains and starting to get into the whole "the world is really fucked up" style, which I like.

It would also tie in with Naruto's determination to become Hogake and fix everything.

Maybe Sasuke will finally slow down now and go examine everything and try to find out the truth… while Naruto is blindly banging around. Then when it seems like everything is going down the drain he'll show up and *poor* save everyone.

At least… that's what I would do if it was my comic. Also, because I like the idea of heroic!Sasuke. Because damn, the boy needs a break.


As to the truth: my gut is telling me that it's actually a mish-mash of what Itachi and Madara told Sasuke, and we'll be finding out which was what sooner or later.

[i]Srsly haven't you been butt-buddies with enough old pedos by now.[/i]

True, dat. Unforts, the poor boy needs a big strong macho-macho guy like Naru-chu around to at least distract the old pedos until Sasuke can run away in his ugly new outfit, screaming and crying like a chibi Itachi.

Ahem.

Also, Askerian, I knew you on dA before my comp decided to stage a coup and quit on me - Scho-the-Scone. Fortunately I got a great excuse to quit [score!] and now I found you on LJ so I can stalk you here instead. How deliciously fun.

Keep drawing!
C.S.

SASUKE, YOU MAY FEEL EMPTY NOW, BUT THERE'S A QUICK, (if you're unlucky D:) EASY WAY TO FIX THAT! IT INVOLVES 'NARUTO' AND 'UP YOUR ASS.' ;DDD

These new twists are fun--hurray for sexually active thirteen-year-olds, just what the world needs :D--but I'm pretty much treating it like everything else; it just adds more possibilities and potential in the fics. (The driving force behind fanfiction: if you don't like it, change it, don't sit there and whine. Isn't that what personal cannon's about?) I'm not a cannon whore, so cannon generally ends up being more of a guideline than anything else. Besides, being elitist gets boring after awhile--there're only so many different ways to portray the same thing.

Thinking back though, Itachi was young during war time no? Or at least that's the way I figure out the timeline which is always iffy. Itachi was already fighting when the Kyuubi was unleashed which I place around the end of the hostilities that we see during the Kakashi-Obito-Rin arc. Itachi was about 7-8, Kakashi had aged to around 16-17, and the fourth was still young enough to look hot in a long coat. After the Kyuubi attack I assume that Konoha was on high alert for years trying to keep up a strong front in front of their enemies. Hence Itachi being pushed into early service. Once you've killed someone, the 'correct age' to start sexual relations kinda blurs. Besides it could be a mistranslation. Maybe it means 'all the people he loved'? Must do more pointless ruminating.

I like Sasuke's new outfit lol

Madara's totally playing him and I'm little irritated that Sasuke can't see that...for now. Oh Sasuke...

Here's to Sasuke and Naruto potentially teaming up together to kick the shit out of the rest of Akatsuki, because I don't believe the whole Sasuke SMASH KONOHA line is going fly too far. We may get some destruction and infiltration and possibly the death of Tsunande (because the other two Sennin are dead and Kishimoto seems to be pushing the replacement of them with team 7) and Danzo's definitely going to die, (ooh ooh, what about Sai?). But in the end, I think Naruto and co. will be able to knock some sense into him (literally) and they'll all have a happy party preventing Pein from making the world go BOOM, (kiiiiiind of impossible to forget the destruction of the world, though Sasuke doesn't know about this little plan yet).

All and all, I am very excited to see how all of this develops.

Would it be too pathetic of me to ask if you're planning on commenting on Chapter 402? ehm...?
