Okay so I don't usually say this because the anime is ****, but...
Go watch it!
Current episode has one of the best fights scenes ever and it's just perfect! Soundtrack. Animation. Everything.

New chapter is out. Looks like we're about to have that big Naruto/Sasuke fight. Sasuke finally revealed his plan (to execute the 5 living kage and take over). He placed all the tailed beast under his genjustsu, and now it's just him and Naruto.
It's on break next week.
So this is the reason for the final fight..... Sasuke is an idiot there are so many reasons why his plan is wrong. I suppose this is just a cause so that we get the final fight between the two, but it feels undeserved.
I wouldn't say his plan is wrong...We don't really know what the rest of it is. If it was just killing the kages, then it would be stupid because the villages practically have replacement kages anyways. What does he really want to do? Use the bijuu to force people to be nice to each other? Declare himself king or something? Use genjutsu to make everyone follow him?
Ah Sasuke, you never disappoint.

It just doesn't make sense. So the people will just forget about him killing their Kage's and welcome him with open arms? I don't think so. If he rules out of fear or by force that just makes his "revolution" worse than the previous system. It just seems like a reason was needed for him to fight Naruto in the end to me.

Lol, nope...Sasuke's still crazy.
All it took was the greater evils to all go away and he was like "that means I'm back on top of crazyville bitches!"
At least his end goal has evolved beyond "Avenger, blargh" and now he's more like crazy well-intentioned extremist despot.
This is a far more exciting development compared to the lackluster Kagura stuff though. I'm glad Sasuke's crazyness wasn't just handwaived off and forgotten, and I like that Naruto is announcing his resolve to end the brother's cycle with this fight.
A little weirded out that Sasuke gets to keep his Rinnegan, and with just one he can do Chibaku Tensei huh? Figures. To even compete I imagine Naruto either kept his Six Path Sage powers, or at the very least his 'you have chakra from all 9 beasts' thing will give him one hell of a Sage/Bijuu combo mode.
Well, I mean, we've been getting all sorts of not so little hints all year that Sasuke isn't doing all of this out of the goodness of his heart. It's not really unexpected. And really, he's just saying he wants to enslave 9 sentient beings who just stated that they all just wanted to go home and never bother anyone ever again before he kills a few people.
But yeah, he isn't thinking this out. I mean, you have to admit, Sasuke does have a very strong point; the current ninja system isn't ideal. It's ill equipped to deal with the emotional needs of its soldiers, it unfairly places some people with innate abilities above others while also putting those same people in a very narrow role in society, and it's built around war. However, he isn't coming up with any great alternatives.
I just wonder if Sasuke is going to die or not? It would feel sorta...wrong that the Uchiha would be wiped out. That would just leave the Hyuga, as the Senju and Uzumaki clans aren't around anymore like they were.
