Yeah, this arc has me wishing that Sasuke would just die in the barrel. What a selfish jackass, he should have just moved on with his life, but no .. he has to seek more power, putting his friends in death's path in the process.

Sasuke could have been cool, could have continued to train with Kakashi, maybe get the curse seal removed by Jiraiya, but he's just an immature, worthless punk!
