aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhh T^T
too tired for a page by page but.
-whoops madara goes byebye, lucky kages, and the rock guy is still alive! i predicted that wrong oops nevermind XD. so either tobidara summons madara back later and this time he gets to use that hugeass thing (doubtful, because it would cheapen the threat of it) or it was all just foreshadowing for Sasuke using it to compete against sage of six paths!Naruto. (and maybe some foreshadowing re: who tobidara is toward zombiedara and as such he was only pulled out to give tobidara and his nihilism/god complex some context.)
-uchihas, stop plucking eyes out of your heads, that shit is fucking gross. did you even give itachi a little convenient bottle to put it in or do y'all travel with one in your pocket, never without, condom-style? D: maybe he put the eye into a scroll or something but still, gross!
-i enjoyed the itachi flashback with all the old farts but then someone later pointed out that danzou was bargaining with sasuke's life but earlier when he meets sasuke he's all insulty about itachi having allowed sasuke to live. um dude he already knew he could blackmail itachi that way ...?? why would he think he can tell itachi "yeah i'll keep your lil bro alive if you do this" and then expect itachi to off him anyway???? this does not work well. but still am glad to see.
-I really enjoyed the itachi's last words from his dad thing! oh wow fugaku you might not be 100% a douche. >__>;;;
-THAT LAST PAGE OH MY GOD OH GOD MY FEELINGS I CAN'T.
This forehead to forehead thing is not a hug! but it's way better than forehead poking. Also itachi's SMILE, wow. ALSO ITACHI'S ****WORDS****. i, there's something in my eye. T^T
"no matter what happens/what you decide about your life and actions/whether or not you forgive me, i will always love you."
wow just typing that i'm getting choked up.
Sasuke is too stubborn for it to convince him to change tracks, but i do think it'll heal one of his inner wounds and then he won't base his decision on guilt (itachi's love was conditional on me choosing konoha and i said for that noise but maybe i shouldn't...) but on honestly believing it's the right decision, from a place of (better tho not there yet lol) emotional stability. Which means he won't turn right back the second he discovers another secrets that makes him feel different about his family.
Anyway ow my feelings. i still kinda hope for sasuke to get a hug like naruto did, with itachi slowly turning into dust right in his arms bwahahahaha. but idk, that forehead thing also worked. d'awwwwwww.)
