What the hell are you people talking about? There is no logic in any of your arguments.

Nevermind the bad punctuation. This right here says it hurts your eyes.From Inane Scanlation Ch. 257 pg. 8
Kakashi: Besides the fact that it requires a considerable amount of chakra, it also presents a great risk to your eyes as well doesn't it... Itachi.
NOT A DAMN METAPHOR!!!From Inane Scanlation Ch. 257 pg. 9
Kakashi: How far has... "plink" your eyesight deteriorated?
Nope....terribly insufficient as proof.
Conversely, let's think of it this way:
1) Kakashi says MS takes a toll on the user.
2) Itachi is impressed by Kakashi's observation.
3) Kakashi asks how bad Itachi's eyesight has become.
4) Itachi freaks out.
Now, if we were to assume that JaySee was right, then #3 does not present anything that #1 doesn't present, right? So why would Itachi's #4 be so dramatically different from #2? It just doesn't make any sense!
However, if we consider #3 to be metaphorical in that it implies Itachi has failed to observe something important, then it does become new information, which justifies the drastically different #4 response.
In addition to this, I find that the confirmation that Kakashi does, in fact, have MS when he used it on Deidara further supports my point, because it allowed us to know with absolute certainty that #4 was a foreshadowing to Kakashi's new ability. With that said, where does the connection exist between #4 and Kakashi accusing Itachi of going blind?
Sometimes I think you guys need to take some basic courses in literary techniques.

Hmm... maybe because... #1 is in the form of a QUESTION. Hence my comment about bad punctuation. Itachi believes he is being asked. #3 is where Kakashi is revealing he already knows the answer. Looks like you need to learn basic reading comprehension before jumping to literary techniques.
Um....what? Here I actually come up with probably the most micro-analyzed interpretation of the exchange and you reply with this nonsense?Originally Posted by JaySee
I feel like I'm wasting my time here.
Animus, you seem halfway there to make some sort of rational counter-argument, right? Care to challenge my post?

EXACTLY... go back and take some reading comprehension.Originally Posted by AssertnFailure
If you had some basic understanding, you'd get that #3 reveals a lot #1 DID NOT. Hence the reaction difference between #2 and #4.It doesn't make any sense to you because you either have bad reading comprehension, or no common sense.
Lols, you're a fuckin retard, JaySee.Originally Posted by JaySee
Do you honestly think Kakashi was trying to ask Itachi a question in #1, just because it ended with a question mark? You're saying #1 sounded like Kakashi had no idea if MS hurts a person's eyes and pretends to be genuinely curious? Itachi's response in #2 even stated something along the lines of "I'm impressed you learned so much from just one confrontation with it." So why would Itachi not think that Kakashi knew?
Screw the literary comprehension, you need to learn basic social interaction, son. This has become highly lollable. I can't even tell if I'm supposed to be taking you seriously or not.
