Ok, yeah wow I missed a lot. Yeah, not gonna even bother trying to catch up haha.
Would anyone care to provide an update for me as to what the current topic is?
From the way the manga is going regarding Sasuke, he's not coming back to the village at the end especially the latest reactions and actions of Sasuke. It shows more and more that Sasuke, from himself, doesn't belong to the village. It seems that Sasuke needs to be outside Konoha.
As much as I want Sasuke to be back at the end, the manga tells me otherwise. Sasuke will be saved, but saving Sasuke doesn't mean that he'll be back. It means, which that what will probably happen, that Sasuke at the end will see the wrong thoughts, decisions and actions that he did.
I have no idea whether Sasuke will still be alive or become a wanderer with Karin, Suigetsu and Juugo at the end cause I see those two possibilities being equal.
Completely agree! I just can't for the life of me picture Sasuke residing peacefully in the village once everything is over. It just feels awkward, out of place, and just plain odd... If he doesn't die, then he'll HAVE to become a wanderer. Nobody in the village trusts him and most of the rookies recently expressed displeasure towards him, so I don't see how the rookies can simply look past their discomfort and accept Sasuke with open arms. Then again, it all depends on how Kishi executes everything and the situations he presents us with. Right now it still may be too early to tell what exactly will happen to Sasuke in the end, but the most logical choices as of this moment are either him dying, or becoming a wanderer.
I like the idea of him becoming a wanderer. It fits his character and even helps emphasize some of his personality traits (such as favoring isolation, being independent, and wanting to go his own way, but that's just my opinion). Also, I can't even see Sasuke himself being completely at peace with the village, so living there may possibly make him restless. Becoming a wanderer may help ease his the "restlessness" he may experience, but then again, this all mere speculation... So we'll see how this all unfolds in the end. :)
