This chapter Wins. It has just sucessfully beaten The Valley of the End in my list of "Best Chapter(s) Ever".


I can distinctly remember having a conversation last week with another friend of mine IRL about what Naruto's "third option" was going to be. I personally vouched for the use of my favorite literary device, the Two-By-Four Of Emotional Epiphanies. For anyone who hasn't heard my explaination of this yet, it's the term I describe for an event or scenario that acts as the emotional equivalent of being smacked in the head with a two-by-four, usually eventually resulting in some sort of major mental/emotional reevaluation or change by the "victim" character(s).

Sasuke's expression on pages 13 and 14? That was Kishimoto going "Sasuke, meet the Two-By-Four Of Emotional Epiphanies. Two-By-Four, meet Sasuke's face."
