This chapter merited a freaking review, okay.
First: SHISUI. FREAKING SHISUI. *grabby hands* I will never stop being excited when he shows up. So, what, does Itachi have one of his eyes or something? How does that work?
Second: The Massacre, ow, that never quits being painful. But seeing Itachi break down so completely was a new level of heartbreaking. (Even if his teeth in that panel kind of eeked me out? A little?)
Third: AND IIIIIIIIIIIEEEIIIIIIIIIIIIIII WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOUUUUU~ Or, well, that was what was playing through my head during the entire chapter. With a title like that, can you blame me? But oh my gawd, that last page, let me just flail all over everything. My first OTP. And Itachi, at least, can finally go in peace.
I'm seeing an interesting parallel between Itachi and his parents here, too. Fugaku and Mikoto understood why Itachi did what he did, and even though they didn't agree with it, even though they thought it was against everything they believed, they forgave him for it. Fugaku even said right before death that he was proud of Itachi. And then we see the same thing with the brothers--Itachi is well aware that what Sasuke's going to do will hurt a lot of innocent people, not to mention negate everything he himself did in the name of protecting the village and the world. It's going to render his sacrifice and the death of their family meaningless. But he doesn't care. He loves his brother, no matter what choices Sasuke makes.
If you'll allow me a moment of Tumblr vernacular...MY FEELS.
(It'll be interesting to see if this parallel pops up again with Naruto or even Sasuke himself.)
Soo, thoughts? It's been a long time since I was excited for a Naruto chapter, or even read one (*cough*), but hopefully I'll stay in the loop this time!

Date: 2012-06-20 04:00 pm (UTC)Oh yes, the massacre... and with every new chapter, my head-canon gets screwed a little more, which is why I might not continue PIE after all. I mean, who'd read a no-longer-on-hiatus story that is strays so far away from canon? :/ Ah well, at least Naruto isn't my only fandom ;)
I was also impressed to see how Itachi was handling the actual massacre, specifically where he slaughters his parents. Remember when we used to think he was the guy with a face that showed no emotions? (I do.) And now we've seen other sides of him, quite emotional ones too... I love it, despite the tragedies in which they emerged :')
The last panel did two things to me: break my heart (nuuuuuuu we're gonna lose Itachi again T___T) and literally squeal (fangirl-mode). For real, for two minutes or so, I just sat there, squeaking and squealing as I drank in the image and words. Oh, Sasuke... WHAT he must be feeling now! This comes rather close to Mutsumix' comic of chapter 589 - I wanna bet this newest chapter will lead to a new comic from her ♥
Great chapter, I wonder about its impact for what still lies ahead of us :)
[Did you read it on MangaInn? 'Cause I swear, every time I read something on Mangareader, I end up thinking about you... ^^;]
