boohoo + NINJA!Pirates!!

Anti-Sasuke feelings makes me all GrrGrr (mindless gaara and neji love makes me want to pull my hair out, but only in context with the anti-sasuke thing. As far as I'm concerned the latter two are about the same level on the Ol' Bastard scale as Sasuke (adore them for those reasons). People are willing to give a mass-murderer and a down-right prick second chances but nooooo second chances for the kid whose family got massacred by the person he loves most in the world. No double standards at all. All sarcasm meant). Will shut up now (Teh ICON speaks for ME!), will be polite and nice and not argue because I tend to get too invovled. YES! BE HAPPY! SPREAD the JOY! Read MORE gay PRON! PRETEND the Maths exam is NOT going to happen this week so ded! Join the NINJA!Pirates!!! Seriously, whose with me?!! Let's ALL join the NINJA!Pirates! We get those specky hats, a parrot AND all the COOL NINJA stuff! YAY!

UCHIHA SASUKE LOVE!!! PROUD in my SUPPORT!!! MWAHAHAHAHABWAHAHAHAHA! (Have been surviving on coffee and ice cream.)

I'm afraid say this, but I suspect you are the only who have read the book, but now I'm interested. I'm a sucker for characters that follow their own paths no matter how much pain and anguish it may bring. This of course, is under the clause of; as long as it is their path, and they went into the whole with their eyes open. And Sasuke does, I honestly do belief, in that last few seconds, before he left Naruto on the ground bleeding, he knew what he was doing. Eyes wide open, walking the path of his own destiny; all the deaths and pain it will cause. And that's important. It is all about the choices we make. And Sasuke made a choice, he wanted his vengeance, and he'll do anything for it, but he drew the line, and that is important. I wish people would stop and think. Sasuke could have killed Naruto. He didn't.

The metaphor of running in opposite directions. Lovely, and so damn perfect.

Ohh, exactly, everybody expect Naruto to become Hokage, but dammit, Sasuke need to kill Itachi. And I'll keep on repeating this until I can't. Sasuke need to kill Itachi in order to move one. The end.

And it isn't as if I don't know what that would do to Sasuke as a person, but you know, the only way I can see Sasuke getting out of his vengeance is by choosing. K-sensei have to set it up so that Sasuke have to choose. Kill Itachi or Save Naruto. One or the other.

Watch Berserk. Watch it, love it, let your heart be ripped out by it. It is everything I ever wanted from a series. And see Griffiths, love his beauty, love his strength, love his despair, and be damn afraid of his ambition. If you want to see someone following his dream, reaching his dread through hell and high water, and walking a paths of the dead, man-oh-man, the series is just awesome.

I'm on a quest to get Thieves & Kings (http://www.iboxpublishing.com/) more attention. I won't be hindered by a little thing like nobody having a clue what I'm talking about. *grin*

Sasuke could have killed Naruto. He didn't.
He did try to, though. Maybe he pulled the chidori back the two times he hit him with it, but when he jammed his hand through Naruto's lung, he said outright that he'd been aiming for his heart. (I'd been mistaken on this, but I reread the scans when someone corrected me on it and then started looking at Sasuke askance. *grin*) That's always been kind of weird, because he just abruptly seems to change his mind about not killing him after the whole flashback arc with Itachi. I've never been totally certain whether that was a flaw in the writing or if he finally gained respect for Naruto after seeing him in the demon fox from hell mode, of all things.
(Though considering Sasuke's attraction to power, maybe it makes sense....)

I'm not sure Sasuke will ever be able to move on, even with Itachi dead--especially since he's pretty much dedicated his life to killing him, and if he succeeds, he's going to be left hollow and floundering for some new purpose for a while. But I think he needs to kill Itachi to make everything he did with his life finally have a point. I would deeply like to believe that Sasuke will have matured enough over the gap that he's willing to just see Itachi dead, regardless of who did it, but I don't think that will happen and I don't think it would be any good to him if he did, except maybe to keep him from charging head-first into a fight he can't win.

*nod* I'm pretty sure that's what's going to happen. It would take that option to force Sasuke to acknowledge that there are a few more important things than his vendetta. It's kind of a pity that we can see it coming so far in advance, but as long as it's done well, I guess it doesn't matter. *grin*

*makes a note to track down Beserk*
