I have extremely mixed feelings about this chapter, so this will be a long rant.
1st and foremost the whole sakura situation, im having trouble deciding whether it is past love or not that has lead her to where she is at. I mean sasuke is crazy now so the sasuke she used to know is
gone and that is what is messing with her feelings. The part that bugs me is that this both helps and hurts ns. It helps because maybe she will be able to move on at some point with naruto. However,
depending on where they go from here and they can somehow redeem sasuke, as unlikely as that seems now, and turn him back to how he used to be or better i am almost positive our pairing would
die off because of what she felt before with sasuke would override anything she feels for naruto depending on the how n/s development goes from here on out, and i know for one that i would not want
naruto to be her fall back on guy, bc i mean it is just not fair to him just like naruhina is unfair to hinata. Sakura has to actively choose to love naruto more than sasuke and that includes subconsciously
as well, meaning no lingering feelings for him at all except as friends otherwise she will always have it in the back of her mind of "what if i were with him?" hence making naruto 2nd place which in that
case no n/s is better than naruto being a silver metal. So the obvious solution for narusaku is for sakura to want to be with naruto no matter what sasuke there is past or present. So this may be a step
foreward not quite sure what to think yet, just on a rollercoaster of emotions currently.
2nd sasuke going blind now, and i believe he is a short ways away from blindness, leads me to believe that sasuke was being coerced and not stopped when he went into all these fights by
madara because madara wants sasuke to go blind so he has no choice for his revenge but to use his brothers eyes, thereby giving him a power boost. my only question at that point is how powerful will
sasuke be and will he turn on madara as you can see he hasnt exactly considered them partners. It is funny how he is going exactly against his brothers wishes and so itachi knew what sasuke would do
if madara were to meet up with him so it i expect when those two fight in the future it will be itachis eyes vs power itachi gave naruto. Now with sasuke being almost blind I am almost positive there will
be no fight next week just some talking and madara showing up and taking sasuke away. At this point it would be too anti climatic for it to end any other way bc naruto is still fresh and ready to go while
sasuke is as good as a sitting duck with no sense of sight. For this chapter though throughout the fight it shows how far gone sasuke has let himself become and how much further he could go because in
reality it has only roughly been a month or two since the pain fight took place and only four months since the last retrieval on a guesstimate if he has fallen that far in that amount of time he still has a
long ways he can go.
3rd point is to Naruto for his kick ass entrance. Truthfully I cannot wait to see where naruto goes with this and what exactly he has planned for sasuke. Truthfully at this point he could
theoretically take sasuke back to konoha by knocking him out then using sage chakra to get to konoha asap while kakashi and sakura take care of her team. But as previously stated madara will
probably show up and ruin this.
Again this was an exciting chapter. I definitely want to hear an i loved him from sakura if she still has feelings for sasuke in a romantic sense, and i want to see some n/s confrontation in 2-3 chaps, but what we had this chapter was a good start hopefully to a happy n/s ending
He is her earth, her foundation upon which to grow, and she is his heaven, his peace and tranquilty and also his reason to shoot for the stars.
