Well, after the released of Halo 4 OST volume 2, I got more music to focus on writing thoughts of this chapter. To sum it up in one word: Hm?
Do I think it's a bad chapter or a good chapter? Is it a good or bad development? Well, this feels more like "Wait until the moment is brought up again to see it gets justified" development. What does it mean? It means I can't really say it's good or bad plot development at the moment. Granted I am surprised about the turn of the event, though it does feel like his answer could have been gotten since his last meeting with Itachi, but I guess in return we do have Hokages, so that's something. I may not get your attention and that's ok, but I should get off my chest, so here I go.
Sasuke turning good or at least doing what's good is not that shocking, but I guess you can say the timing is because well we want to know what's next. What's going to happen between Naruto and Sasuke? Is the fight becoming like the end of Scryed, where they just battle each other because...they just do? Here's the thing. I remember people thought he turned good after meeting with Itachi once again, but instead, there was more to it. That said it's not that certain he's completely good or at least he will remain to the very end. Am I right? No. But anything can happen. It's one of those moments where you think everything is going too well, but something along the way will happen. Now, don't hope too much because it can backfire. It's best to wait when the moment arrives or the manga ends. Though I admit, if he goes to renegade route, don't you think all Hokages will just shut him down asap. I still don't trust Orochimaru because again, everything feels too easy. But of course, we won't know until the time comes.
Do I think the last 5 pages were rushed? Well, yeah in a way, but I guess he wants to end the volume so he can't help but to do so. Now the remaining question is how long these guys will take to get there? If I have to predict, a volume later. Unless Minato can teleport all of them to that area, but it seems like he doesn't have the requirement to get there, so pretty much it will take them a while. It took a 2-3 volume to get from the battlefield to Konoha, though Kishi will cut short so they can reach there in time. It looks like I may called it right, because as I said in the podcast, Sasuke's problem is with Madara and now that he's going to protect it, he will fight him. Alone? I don't know but he will be involved. Oh man, won't it be funny if Madara somehow talks to him to change mind again? Not going to happen but imagine that.
Lastly, very short and I'm happy people in here are reasonable and I don't blame them, but one thing I give people here is not connecting to romance, because again, SK is back on, so if anything, it's not really going to move forward for all Sasuke pairings. The only thing I can see now is a sorry from him, but nothing to say, "I'm yours now." It's only matter of time if he gets there and remain the way he is now. Again, glad you didn't resort to romance part. Again, an apology is expected.
So overall, what do I think of this plot development? Well, it's an changeable opinion. Why? Because it all relies on the later actions, so I can't truly say because twists can happen or we don't know completely Sasuke's intention as a whole, not what to do next. A twist seems like it may happen, but we just have to wait and see, which I guess that's why he left it as a cliffhanger to his story's part. If Kishi is serious about Naruto vs. Sasuke being the finale, how will he make it as? The world at stake? Friendly fight? Don't know. One would suggest that Sasuke is in that process where Madara returns back to the village in a good state until the Hokage's title happens. Not saying the exact same thing will happen, but hey, a possibility. So I don't know what to feel about this yet. Oh well, a break is what I needed anyway.
