    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.
    When man invented the bicycle he reached the peak of his attainments. Here was a machine of precision and balance for the convenience of man. And (unlike subsequent inventions for man's convenience) the more he used it, the fitter his body became. Here, for once, was a product of man's brain that was entirely beneficial to those who used it, and of no harm or irritation to others. Progress should have stopped when man invented the bicycle. ~Elizabeth West, Hovel in theHills

    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.

    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.

    It's not too different from the Sannin matchup. I guess the Third was facilitating the reunion if he did have the history in his head. You can't expect them to make up afterwards unless they were friends to begin with.

    Itachi transferred his powers to Sasuke before he died. That's why Sasuke has the exact powers as him pretty much (with some personal variation). The levels referred to are as Itachi described. When one unlocks both the M.Sharingans in their eyes, the third power becomes active. Unlocking Amaterasu and Tsukiyomi grants you the ability to use Susano'o.

And I don't get Gaara either, he already had trouble defeating Sasuke as a Jinchuuriki and now he wants to take on his Mangekyou Sharingan? Deathwish. But somebody will probably intervene again. Can't wait!
    You know what's dumber? The killing power of Amaterasu the way it's been portrayed here.

    Arm got burned? Fight now, cut later.

    Armour got burned? Wait now, take it off later.

    That shit's meant to be one-hit-kill, right? Flames that burn forever... now they're making it out like they're burning forever cuz they never finish burning whatever it is they're trying to burn. :S

    Don't forget that it's meant to be hotter than the sun. Yeah riiight.

    If it's not Isuzu-chan Mii~
