Since this forum is Akatsuki-centered, I suppose I don't need to describe what agony I'm going through right now. It's a hard, dark time for us Akatsuki fans. I don't know how I managed to read this chapter. I guess I'm being pessimistic, but we all know what's going to happen next, right? Since Kishimoto-sama can be pretty predictable.

I don't know what the hell rain has to do with Sasuke's final attack. Since when can Sasuke call up rain clouds? I don't know, I mean, this is Uchiha Sasuke we're talking about. Uchiha Sasuke, the invincible. Uchiha Sasuke, the man who always escapes near-death situations.

Apparently, a lot of people think that Zetsu's commentary is getting annoying. Here, let me give you an example.

But let me tell you, he did not say "holy smokes!"Is it just me that thinks that Zetsu-sempai would be helping Itachi by now? Maybe Kishimoto-sama is making the Akatsuki OOC!?

But you know, it's not going to matter what happens to Itachi in the end, because we will still love and cherish his memory. So don't worry, okay? I turn away from the manga, because I know that the Akatsuki are just too sexy to appear in it! Itachi is just great though, isn't he? I really love him.

I have already expressed my views on this dark time, or the era of Kishimoto's obvious drug usage, and it's quite obvious to me that there is no hope yet; Kishi-sensei skrewed the real story so much from the end of Dei and Gaara's fight on, there's no return to the real story line possible at this point. Oh well. We'll just have to grin sob grimace & bear it as Itachi is ripped apart in front of our eyes. Remember, tis not whut happened. Try this, my theory on what REALLY happened in the REAL Naruto.

WARNING: IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO UNREAD THIS EXAMPLE OF BEAUTIFUL UCHIHA BROTHERHOOD AT IT'S BEST. READ AT YOUR OWN RISK OF HEART FAILURE.

I beleive that in the midst of this amazingly unfair battle, Sasuke will suddenly fall to his knees under the power of the great revelation of the fact that he indeed does still love his Nii-sama, the great Itachi, and he wishes for nothing more than peace and a wonderful, godly brotherly bond between the two last Uchiha. Then he will whip out a violin, and pour these feelings into a song, which will reach Itachi's ears and clear his vision, for the powers of brotherly love and a violin will truely rule the world.



And thank you, anikoku, for posting the almighty RAW and translation of this week's continuation of the Uchiha Drama/Soap Opera A.K.A. Naruto.

So it started from Deidara and Garra's fight, huh? I think it started from the very beginning of Shippuden.

Oh man. You and the violin; lol. I don't expect quite that, but I really would love it if the Uchiha brothers made up.

But you're most welcome, though I'm a lazy updater that is dragging this forum down with myself.

The beginning of Shippuuden was not as tragic, horrid, dull, catastrophic nor destructive enough to properly mark the begging of the Dark Era.

I like my violins. What can I say? And it's too late for that now, isn't it?

*slap* YOU ARE NOT DRAGGING OUT BELOOOOVED FORUM DOWN, FOOL!

You're welcome.
