Thanks for joining and reading.

BEST BROTHER

>>281226278
How long until we get the finalized version of Itachi's MS?

Oh, NOW Fug pays attention to his other son after his favorite goes schizo on him.

>>281226429
jesus fucking christ fug

>>281226429
>stupid 7 year old, didn't do it perfect the first time, you big fucking failure, the police tried to arrest the wrong son

>>281226453
Sasuke being a HARDWORKER like always.

Itachi should've fucked Naruto.

After this flashback it's all downhill though unfortunately

>>281226489
Apparently, Itachi meets Naruto in his light novel as well.

>>281226453
surprised he didint burn his mouth or throat

>>281226519
>Fug: "Holy fuck, just like Itachi...!"

>>281226497
>I want you to see it
Okay, but why in a forested grass hill in the middle of town?

>>281226538
>>281226519
Fuck you Fugaku

>>281226558
>>281226519
Oh nevermind they did go back to the pond. Thought he was just firing up in the streets.

>>281226514
Damn I actually didn't know that tidbit. Would've made me happy 15+ years ago. Which ln?

>>281226255
>rips out tongue
What ya gonna do now Nardo?

>>281226429
Do you think using Fire style jutsu has a risk of giving the user heartburn?

>>281226278
When did this happen?

>>281226278
Why would Itachi show off the MS there. Was that just some school shooter "oh i could've fucking done it, i could've done it you bastards but i won't"

>>281226519
>>281226538
what did he mean by this reaction?

>>281226363
>>281226387
>welp, time for the backup plan

>>281226363
Yeah, Fugaku is definitely trying to be nicer due to SCHIZOtachi.

>>281226387
Everyone would tank this btw.

>>281226585
>Sasuke immolates that nice old Uchiha couple just as their passing by
>Oh good morning Sasuke-ChaaaaAAAAAAAAAA

>>281226632
it means now Sasuke is a target since he is part of the clan, since he can do the jutsu see >>281226453

>>281226453
My HARDWORKING MC! Shitruto could NEVER!

>>281226666
Quads confirm. Jobber fire never hits anyone, or just pushes them back.

>>281226489
>Itachi should've fucked Naruto.
WHAT!?!?

>>281226304
In the anime they put the mangekyo in the light bulb

Isn't it weird that Sasuke made an adult sized fire ball?

>>281226429
>ITACHIITACHIITACHI

>>281226363
>Oh yeah I have another son, what is his name again?

>>281226750
Hard work at its finest.

>>281226453
You'd think the Sharingan is what makes someone a "full fledged" Uchiha member, not a generic fireball jutus anyone can do.

>>281226429
If this was Hiashi Sasuke would've been disowned right here.

>>281226789
Not all Uchiha can unlock the sharingan.

>>281226519
Would this have cooked the Konoha girls?

>>281226810
I bet they CAN but it doesn't mean they WILL.

!!!

>>281226519
>>281226538
WHY

Neji mastered the Hyuga arts without instruction. That's what a true prodigy looks like.

>>281226832
No.

>>281226850
>ITACHI KILL EVERYONE NOW

>>281226863
Yup. Neji = a better genius/prodigy than saucegay.

>>281226850
REDEEMED!
GOOD FATHER FUG!!!

>>281226538
>Sasuke: anons
>Fugaku: OP walking off for 15 minutes mid-dump

>>281226876
>Fathership with Itachi ended, Sasuke is my only son now.
>>281226902
Why is Itachi's hair oddly longer in that second panel?

>>281226850
Sasukebros... we did it! He finally said it!

>>281226902
Which one of them couldn't survive getting hit by a skewer?

>>281226719
You missed out on this like 20+ years ago when it was popular

>>281226922
Lmao.
>>281226930
Fugbros...we're shurikenlets...

>>281226876
Did Itachi get disowned right here?

>>281226922
Probably had to take a shit

>>281226519
This would turn every konoha girl into two boots filled with a smoking pile of ash

>>281226930
>>281226956
Didn't we already have this exact scene a couple arcs ago?

>>281226902
I don't remember Itachi's hair being like that in the chapter its flashing back to.

>>281226978
Im starting to think his father already knew he would do that from thar moment

>>281226956
You know, you need a considerable amount of force to leave a mark on someone from just tapping.

Chapter 223: Father and Son

END
Tomorrow: THAT Day...!!

>>281226387
>some generic fire style is clan-specific
I don't understand

>>281226998
I think it's catching us up with the context. A little cheap to reuse even more panels though

>>281226993
...until it was revealed to just be substituion logs.

>>281226519
Power creep is such a funny thing, I’m pretty sure this is a much bigger fireball than he’s ever made up to this point despite this being a flashback where he was much younger

>>281226956
That poke would've taken Sakura's head clean off

>>281227016
Itachi is just that powerful. A mere tap can leave a mark.

>>281227024
Didn't we see a random leaf jonin using fire in konoha crush? There's also Asuma and Hiruzen using it as well.
How is fire an "uchiha" thing?

>>281227072
Do you think Sasuke suffered brain damage from so many head injuries?

>>281227018
What is the uchiha crest btw? Looks like a ping pong racket

>>281227087
amaterasu

>>281227087
The Uchiha clan specialized in fire before the village was founded.

>>281227016
Yeah, I never got that, either. That's like shooting a pebble at Sasuke's forehead with a slingshot. A simple poke isn't supposed to hurt or leave a mark like that.

>>281227095
Just look at Adult Sasuke.

>>281227096
It's supposed to be a paper fan. Uchiha is based on the word for it called "Uchiwa".

>>281227108
Nobody used fire beforehand? Nobody was born with fire affinity before the Uchiha joined Konoha?

>>281227096
I always thought it looked like a fishing bobber

>>281227137
I figure the Uchiha clan commonly used it and had better affinity for it than anybody else.

>>281227096
Are you so retarded that googling is beyond you, they just said 5 pages ago it's a fucking fan

>>281227153
Considering Fire's track record, i find that hard to believe.

Seems like Itachi left another uchiha alive.

Itachi is so strong and Handsome...I wish he'd kiss me and my wife!

>>281227315
Go back, dbsfag.

A bit early but I just wanted to say that I really fucking hate the "ackshually Itachi's parents were completely fine with him killing them and Fugaku even said he was proud of him before he did it" retcon.

>>281227414
It's not even satire

>>281226478
Sasuke here is adorable.

>>281227414
>Take care of Sasuke
The biggest retcon was Fug giving a shit

>>281227528
Did you you just speed the chapter being posted?

>>281227016
That tap would have evaporated the Konoha girls.

>>281227414
"then he mind-rapes saskue"

>>281227018
THAT day seems your average One Piece meme.

>>281227018
Thank you OP.

>>281227569
That was the intention.

>>281227414
I think a tragic irony is lost with this change, Fugaku's most beloved son who he puts all his faith in to strengthen the clan due his talent ends up using said potential to completely destroy his own family and Fugaku gets to be the last in the chopping block to see how hard he fucked up.

>>281227024
I think the implication is that it's not clan-specific per se, but rather it's something the Uchiha specialize in.
For some reason.

>>281227095
That would explain a lot, wouldn't it?

>>281227543
If Itachi didn't betray the clan and his family stayed together without him acting like a psycho, I'm also convinced that Fugaku's relationship with Sasuke would have evolved to be like Hiashi's with Hinata.

>>281227689
What kind of channels do you think air in the Ninja world?

>>281227733
I'm almost* convinced

>>281226902
That's a comfy ass pillow

>>281227018
How did a shuriken crack the wall like a hammer blow wtf.
Thanks as always OP.

>>281226956
ToT UOOOOOOOH Poke me harder Nii-san~!

>>281227024
I don't think it's clan specific, it's just the "rite of mastery" the Uchiha use.

>>281227851
Why do you keep posting this

>>281226998
Yeah I swear they did half of this whole flashback already right before hotel hallway fight which really makes things feel a little more dragged out during this handful of chapters

>>281227911
Itachi is just that awesome and cool. Why haven’t you done your part in saying how awesome and cool Itachi is anon?

>>281227016

>>281227733
>If Itachi wasn't Itachi then Fug wouldn't bat an eye on Sasuke
Ok?

>>281227096
I think they used those to grilled blow meat for some reason, based on other anime I have watched

>>281227724
>>281227737
>>281227018
>>281227042
Arigatou, OP!

>>281227414
Didn't they do something similar with Gaara, all the catharsis moments with dead family/loved ones in the 2nd of shippuden was kind of meh

Why did Itachi succeed while Oden failed?

>>281227956
It's cute and comfy and I like cute and comfy

>>281228179
Do it somewhere else

>>281228024
Itachi mastered Tsunade's super strength for years by this point so it makes sense

>>281228193
ok mr. thread police

>>281228193
>>281227851
Again, sasukefag? Can't wait for the Boruto daily when we're done with this, thank you dailyramen

Funny how Classic Nardo is all focused on the suffering of child in the shinobi world. Haku being sold as a slave, Gaara being treated like shit and mindbroke by his father, Neji and the head family and Sasuke being the only survivor of a massacre...And then we have Naruto who we don't have a single flashback about his "hard days", it all comes from what he tell us and because is "implied" by kishi. Reading only the manga it feels like 60% of his problems were because he was an orphan and a retard, the other 40% because he was the Jinchuuriki. His infacy was kinda normal so I guess Hiruzen wasnt so bad at all, maybe the village treatment could have been much worse if it wasnt for the third hokage.

>>281226407
He's so disinterested
What an asshole

>>281226514
... what is the novel going to do now
what's the new retardation

>>281226993
Even Konoha girls would tank this.

>>281228179
For a Sakura and Sasuke child sarada is kinda ugly

>>281228504
>child sarada is kinda ugly
just how Ikemoto likes em

>>281228435
Yeah man. And prime Hiruzen was totally the most powerful hokage ever! Also I heard he had a 12 inch cock and values the lives of children

>>281228435
He wasn't just a regular orphan though, he might as well have been dropped off as a baby in a jungle and raised by wolves with how he had no parental or authority figures at all, no one to teach him what is and isn't ok, and ontop of that he consistently gets shunned and adults saying he stinks

>>281228504
I disagree, she's cute.

>>281228638
ikemoto...

>>281228504
She should have had green eyes or pink hair or something, I guess Uchiha genes are just that dominant unlike the hyuga genetics with Nardo's offspring

>>281226278
There it is!

>>281226429
>>281226519
>there was a time when Sasuke trained hard for a week to master a high level technique, just like Naruto
The parallels!

>>281226538
Oh, come ON, dad.

>>281226850
Little boys only want one thing and it's fucking beautiful.

>>281227018
Why haven't they filled/painted over the crack in the wall?

Thanks OP!

>>281228710
>a high level technique

>>281226255
Fucking BRAT!!!

>>281228435
He was supposedly to be actually bullied but Kishi scrapped that.

>>281228672
Hyuuga genes are dominant if you consider that they only got a very minor dilution with the byakugan getting a slight lavender shading over the years, it's just that Namikaze genes are ULTRA dominant.

>>281228435
One of the core themes of early Naruto is the duality of ninja being disposable tools of war for their nations but also still being squishy, vulnerable humans underneath who yearn for love and connections. This is also what sets Konoha apart from the other nations as the "good guys." Memes aside Hiruzen's will of fire and wanting to care about and protect his people stands in stark contrast to all the other ninja leaders we see up to that point who treat their villages as science experiments and disposable pawns. Yeah Naruto didn't have the rosiest childhood but it's certainly not as shit as Gaara being groomed as a humanoid weapon. A big part of a lot of characters' growth is realizing bonds matter more than victory or individual pursuits of power, which is what makes Sasuke's betrayal so tragic.

All of that more or less gets at worst dumpstered and at best heavily watered down in Shippuden, see: >>281227414

>>281228504
They can try again with their next child.

>>281228672
>unlike the hyuga genetics with Nardo's offspring
Boruto looks nothing like Hinata or the Hyugas though.

>>281228939
He has Hinata's face, actually. Like Naruto has his mom's face.

>>281228885
Still don't get how Sarutobi is this gentle and warm leader (to the point he's accused of being spineless) yet under his watch the "shinobi as tools" school of of thought was so pervasive that Sakumo killed himself

>>281228435
>And then we have Naruto who we don't have a single flashback about his "hard days"
Someone called Naruto stinky once.

>>281228975
Give it time. All that shit with Sakumo will be revealed to be Danzo's work as well.

>>281227414
From the way kishi sucks off itachi so much in part 2 I wonder if he actually read that part of his manga to his kids as a bedtime story. To teach them an important lesson on how slaughtering your entire family at the behest of a corrupt government that hates you is the greatest thing any proper jap can aspire to.

>>281228838
>blond hair and blue eyes that keep showing up despite being recessive
>enough chakra to summon Gamambunta and use sage mode
>200+1 IQ (could solve a circle)
>born with sensor powers too
Namikaze genes are weird

>>281229309
>born with sensor powers too
Didn't that come from the sage mode?

>NAMIKAZE ISN’T A REAL CLAN
Neji, please take your meds…
>WHY HAVEN’T WE HEARD OF ANY OTHERS BESIDES LORD FOURTH THEN???

>>281229347
Nah there was Kakashi Gaiden when he put his finger on the ground to sense a bunch of shadow clones and when he;s resurrected he's able to sense Naruto from like 3 countries away

>>281227096
they literally say it in this chapter
>>281226453
jesus fuck

>>281229413
For the same reason Kushina coincidentally is only Uzumaki to survive the fall of the land of eddies

>>281229309
>>200+1 IQ (could solve a circle)
kek

>>281229309
Honestly we don’t know if blond hair is recessive in the Naruto world, there are people with natural silver, blue, green, red, white, purple, orange, pink, teal, magenta, even multicolored hair, maybe their genes work totally differently

>>281229476
>Nagato's mom.
>Karin's mom.
She wasn't.

>>281229608
it's an anime

>>281226954
I can imagine the fanfictions
>Itachi kidnaps Naruto, but while transporting him to Akatsuki HQ, he slowly falls for him
>Itachi decides to betray Akatsuki to protect Naruto
>Sasuke gets jealous (of his brother not paying attention to him / Naruto dating another male)
>The village hates both of them, but they have each other
>Random side pairing of Iruka/Kakashi who act as gay role models of Naruto/Itachi
>MASSIVE amounts of Sakura bashing

>>281229672
Yeah I agree with you, the guy I was replying to originally was talking about blonde hair IRL being recessive which is probably the least unrealistic thing about anime hair

>>281229732
disgusting pedo faggots

>>281227018
TY OP

>>281227315
Sasuke...

>>281227487
Right? I could just eat him up.

Narutobros...

>>281229413
It’s funny to me that Minato really is just “some guy”, the Senju and Sarutobi are established clans and Kakashi at least has (had) his dad as an example of another Hatake that we see onscreen, and we see multiple Uzumakis, but… “Namikaze”? Minato being literally the only one of those makes it feel like a fake name

So if Sasori made it, does it count as a Kage-tier weapon?

>>281230452
No. THIS is a Kage-tier weapon.

>>281230452
>guys here’s how Sakon and Ukon can still be the STRONGEST-

>>281230173
Minato was living propaganda created by Black Zetsu to trick Konoha into thinking anyone could become a great ninja or hokage

>>281229013
>the mission was all set up by Danzo
>everyone who scorned Sakumo (including his partners) were Root members/under Genjutsu
>Sakumo was Genjutsu'd into suiciding

Was Tayuya any op or just shilled because of her holes?

>>281230986
Just because she's a girl. Kidomaru was the OP one.

>>281226617
Either it was an unconscious thing because he really was about to go apeshit without Sasuke there or because he wanted Sasuke asking questions for some reason.

>>281231336
The NOVEL said he wanted to kill them.

>>281227024
They all tend to inherit the fire affinity so they're collectively a lot better than average with fire jutsu and there's always someone around you can ask for tips.

>>281230986
She was pretty good for inventing her own very unique jutsu while I think not having a kekei genkai. She did technically beat smartest boy Shikamaru and also battered Naruto effortlessly

>>281231364
... Itachi is supposed to be a good guy? They're police investigating murder and treason, they did nothing wrong

>>281227770
Nine-Tails Fox News

>>281230986
Anons were arguing that she seemed less OP than Jirobo if not for the fact that sound genjutsu bypasses the Sharingan.

>>281226387
>>281226519
Reminder that genin aren't supposed to be able to do this at all, let alone do it several years before graduating.
>>281227067
His first one left a crater, didn't it?

>>281231364
That's my boy

>>281226902
Wait a fucking minute this is the same room with some decoration changes. Is Sasuke seriously still sleeping in the house where his parents were killed?

>>281231758
no it's not
sasuke has a patio

>>281226902
>>281231758
I wonder what TV shows Sasuke watches

>>281227096
pokeball

>>281231884
They're way too similar for me to just dismiss it but I'll wait and see what the Uchiha house looks like in a chapter or two.

>>281231632
I think that also adds more to the pile of reasons of why Fire is so trash.
>Never damages anyone
>Too costing
>Very little utility
>The fire specialists of the setting all rely on stuff OUTSIDE of fire to be powerful

>>281232033
Sasuke likely just had his stuff moved to an apartment post-massacre.

>>281227096
>>281232021
It's clearly the Pepsi logo.

>>281232050
The one good showing fire has is the time when Obito and Madara "totally" would have cooked the alliance without chakra cloaks. Fire style is just too lethal for Naruto I guess.

>>281232050
It killed someone in Boruto at least once.

>>281231449
The story and fanbase REALLY don't know how to balance Itachi's psycho behaviour and his good guy status.

>>281232098
You know someone else is writing when fire actually does something.

>>281232131
It's still hilarious to me that Sasuke tried to use fireball as a killshot in the 700.5 chapters and then it didn't even seriously injure the child who jumped in front of it.

>>281232131
Maybe it'll have the Anbu not be fodder, but that is probably too much wishful thinking.

>>281232090
Fire is the potential man of elemental affinities, it's always "if" and "would've" but never "is" or "did".

>>281228975
Ideals colides with reallity. The villages were like, 50 years old? And brutal wars was still happening on daily basis

>>281232090
I guess Kishimoto wanted to avoid someone getting burned alive. That's actually gruesome.

>>281226850
>>281226876
When you realize Fugaku is only saying this because he has given up on Itachi leading the coup and thus stopped seeing him as his son.

>>281226334
You know, it's got to be uncomfortable to realize that your 13 year old is not only capable of killing you, but is clearly considering it

>>281226750
I wonder how much Sasuke's progress was stunted with the massacre. He's shown being a able to pick up new abilities fairly quick (fire style, Lee'a tai jutsu/speed, chidori), but this was mostly with guidance (he picked up Leea taijutsu with the Sharingan, but Kakashi stated he had him focus on his technique and speed during training). With all the prodigy bullshit I wouldn't be surprised if Sasuke developed all of his abilities in the beginning pre-massacre and stagnated afterwards.

>>281232252
I still don't know how being Burned is more graphics than the stuff we've already seen.

>>281226900
Neji was such a wasted character. He should have been one of the best developed post-time skip

>>281232384
Lightning should also be able to burn people alive too, it doesn't do that but it has other utilities that real lightning doesn't really have.

>>281232384
It's one thing to draw a character getting stabbed, it's another drawing a character's skin and hair getting burned while they scream in agony and seeing their charred corpse after.

>>281232418
There was no narrative obligation to keep using Neji, all there was left to him was getting the seal removed (which happened...in the worst way possible).
What really bothers me about Neji is that Kishi had him as "the Hyuugas best prodigy" and honestly that should've been memory holed/retconed by a busted Hyuuga being introduced later on like with Hiruzen getting power crept, but fuck that i guess.

>>281232435
Just go for the dragon ball route and have the body get fully pulverized? Seems like an easy fix.

>>281232482
It's disappointing that one of the oldest and most powerful clan in the Leaf didn't really amount to all that much. They got the lesser of mommy ayy's powers, which should still be very good, but it gets completely ignored.

>>281232547
You would think they would become more important when the Otsutsuki clan became the greater threat in the series. You would also think some of the Konoha populace would go schizo over them because the Hyuga clan has the same eyes as the Otsutsuki.

>>281232359
>I wonder how much Sasuke's progress was stunted with the massacre
At the very least he's several years behind on practicing with the sharingan and he dropped like a rock in the teamwork scores according to databooks IIRC.

>>281232635
Well Neji ate dirt by that point, so there was no one around to throw out schizo theories.

>>281226363
Oh...good morning...uh...you.

>>281226407
damn this guy literally invented the thousand-mile sasuke stare

>>281226930
top left memeable sasuke

>>281231758
Greatest sin of this franchise is how fast naruto classic went. we had so little of team 7.

>>281232667
He also like, straight up forgot he unlocked the sharingan until land of waves.

>>281232734
I will always forgive the fuckton of animu filler episodes because they gave us a lot of extra interactions.

Why do Choji and Shikamaru get to appear in Sasuke's flashback TWICE but Naruto doesn't even get to be in the background?

>>281229020
Torishima said modern mangaka are arrogant and editors don't reign them in. The Japanese don't believe in tard wrangling the same way the west do.

>>281232808
they're Kishi's self-inserts

>>281232809
This is very ironic considering all the stuff he begrudgingly accepted from Toriyama because the man was just that petty.

>>281232803
Kakashi mask is the best one

>>281232853
That one was a manga extra first IIRC.

I do kind of wonder if Kishimoto originally intended for Naruto and Hinata to have gotten in the academy relatively late since they are completely absent from Sasuke and Sakura's flashbacks and Naruto doesn't even seem to remember Sasuke before the massacre or that Sakura used to be bullied, you can also chalk it up that Ino didn't befriend either of them because she feared ending up with another Sakura situation.

>>281227414
>>281227482
THAT'S MY BOY

>>281232963
Funnily enough none of Lee's Flashbacks showing his academy class had Tenten present in them, the one from this arc had Neji in the background but no Tenten.

>>281233147
>The Konoha girls are even losing to flashback relevance
Fucking lmao

How would Tsunade have handled the Hyuuga Incident?

>>281233301
According to the western commissioned doujins, by fucking A.

Sasuke and Hinata kinda have a parallel here now that I think about it. They're both children who wanted the acknowledgement of their fathers after being overshadowed by their siblings. Naruto has a type.

>>281233937
>dark-haired, pale, and have weird alien eyes too

>>281234058
Purple theming as well

>>281226863
>>281226900
Remind me, which one of them couldn't survive getting hit by a skewer?

>>281234098
Sasuke.

>>281233301
Probably declaring war on Lightning like a non-pussy. At the very least she wouldn't have given up Neji's dad. The whole "nooooo don't hit meeee" peace at all costs seemed like a hiruzen thing.

>>281232808
Doesn't Naruto appear later on with Sasuke seeing him being all sad on his iconic swing? Or was than an anime only scene?

>>281233684
It's funny A is the designated lecherous black man in Naruto porn, because I always got the impression he was a stodgy traditionalist. One wouldn't peak at a girl's ankle before the fourth chaperoned date.

>>281232090
Hey now, the Sound Four's barrier did kill that one Anbu. Sure the wiki doesn't classify it as a fire style jutsu, but that nigga clearly burned to death so technically this is a win for fire

>>281234273
Well yes but that's not very conducive to cuck fantasies. He even tells off B for making a comment about Tsunade's breasts

>>281234333
I forget, was this juts instant or did this motherfucker really just hurt himself towards the scary purple wall?

>>281234333
>those jackasses did nothing to help snuff out the flames

>>281234415
I think it came up fast, and that ANBU was unlucky enough to get caught mid bounce (probably should've replaced with a tile or something idk)

>>281234479
>tile
Sorry bro but that's a Kage-level technique.

>another Itachi flashback chapter

>>281234526

>>281233301
How would any of the Hokage have handled the Hyuuga incident? I can't think of any other Hokage that would have just given in to the Cloud's demands like that. I can't even picture Hashirama giving them up despite being somewhat of a goody pushover (and frankly it would have been pretty suicidal to do if Hashirama was the hokage considering how above pretty much everyone else he was).

How's this thread still up? Lol

>>281229013
>>281230880
On one hand, I wouldn't even be that surprised if Kishi somehow retcon'd Danzo into being behind his suicide, on the other hand I can't think of any reason why Danzo would pull some kind of shit like this other than being an ass. Like how does it benefit Konoha or Danzo to orchestrate one of it's greatest assets into suicide?

>>281232764
Did he have the Sharingan pre-low? Did I really miss it these chapters?

Slightly off-topic but I dont get why some people think Naruto "holding back" in the 2nd fight with Sasuke was about power and not mind state. He's made to start fighting like his life depends on it and they tie. It's such a common thing in shonen and action in general, I don't know why so people think Naruto was pulling punches.

>>281234840
He awakens it immediately after getting Tsukuyomi'd for the first time and chasing after him. This is used to explain away why some of the early flashbacks to the massacre had Itachi in the street with his headband on sideways while this one has him have it on normally and traumatise Sasuke in the house.

>>281230986
He genjutsu is too strong for Itachi to dispell.

>>281227024
This is just the beginning of the Uchiha wank fest, anon.

>>281235368
Having an elemental affinity that they tend towards rather than being full RNG honestly barely counts as a footnote.

Tobi = Fugaku

What if Naruto had an older red haired Uzumaki sister?

>>281236507
Tayuya?

>>281236507
>Sasuke PLEASE fuck my sister
>Karin’a eggs are about to expire!!

>>281233301
>>281234739
That plot point still blows my mind. Imagine that irl
>Host a treaty signing
>A head of state uses your event to personally kidnap your Fleet Admiral's 5 year old daughter, intending to torture her and ransom her for state secrets.
>When caught, the country says you assassinated their head of state, and demands the Fleet Admiral's head and his state secrets.
Like holy shit that would be the most perfidious act of war in history.

>>281236647
>I'll help extract the semen

>>281236507
People once theorized that was Karin a LONG time ago.

What if Sasuke had a sister? Would Itachi spare her as well? Would she be lusted after by all the boys in Konoha?

>>281237553
>Would Itachi spare her as well?
Depends on if Danzo is feeling like enough of a dick to try and make Itachi choose which little sibling he has to murder or if he thinks that'd just make Itachi snap and refuse.

>>281237553
The sister would be Fugaku’s little princess.

>>281237553
>>281237636
>Sasuke has a little sister and his inferiority complex gets even worse now that he also suffers the middle child syndrome

>>281237696
>Itachi put her to sleep with a genjutsu
>Itachi mindrapes Sasuke for the hell of it

>>281226429
Oof.

>>281232050
Jiraiya used fire well.

>>281226387
Sazanka confirmed for Uchiha

>>281226453
>>281226429
Itachi was Kage level at this same age

>>281226685
they would tank it

>>281226387
>…
>I thought so…
>…not quite like it was with Madara

>>281237718
Men have to be tougher than women

what if they just made Fugaku Hokage after the Fourth died

would Uchiha autism be quenched?

>>281237912
>Sasuke and Itachi if they were girls

>>281238026
Sure, but what would Fugaku do as a Hokage?
Erect a staute of Itachi in the plaza?

>>281238028
>foolish little sister...
>you're still too bratty...
>still not enough....
>correction...

>>281238113
I'm sure he could preside over a period of relative stability and child abuse as well as unretired Hiruzen did.

>>281238200
Could Fugaku with kage scaling defeat Orochimaru?

>>281238300
>Kage Technique: Fire Style - MAXIMUM Fireball
>Hashirama burned to a crisp
>Tobirama evaporated
>Orochimaru is now a cooked snake

>>281238550
Didn't Manda shed his skin to avoid being burned by that mountain size Katon?

>>281238178
I'd read it

>>281234230
That was Naruto's flashback, not Sasuke's.

>>281237809
His fire never hurt anyone as well.

>>281238615
Yes.

>>281238950
It was never tanked either, always used a diversion.

>>281238178
>corrective Tsukuyomi
hot

>>281239031
What would Kakashi's 72 hours torture look like?

>>281227087
To be fair, it was said that hiruzen learned every konoha jutsu

would sexy no jutsu have any effect on Itachi?

>>281239270
>tied up and mercilessly raped by thousands of female Itachis for 72 hours straight
and then Kakashi can't get out of bed for weeks

>>281227911
Have seen what he does to sauces forehead with just a finger?
That guy has the retard strength like Tsunade

>>281227414
"Take care of Sasuke"
>Leaves sasuke for years
>First thing he does when seeing him again is beat the shit out of him and mind rapes him
>Next time they see each other again they fight to the death
he really does a good job

>>281239469
It builds character!

>>281239439
It's not even a matter of force. I think it's like a bullet, where it more force doesn't make it act like a hammer, it just penetrates deeper into the wall.

>>281229732
you aren't far off anon. to too much on the sakura bashing just because she's irrelevant.
a lot of them also have naruto in the anbu. My favorite one is eternally unfinished

>>281239415
>Kakashi literally became this

>>281240037
the wall is very brittle

>>281237693
He could've stopped the massacre

>>281236808
Danzo was right about everything. Someone should write a spin-off where Danzo teaches Neji to hate the village

>>281228179
Based.

random background lady, my beloved

these past few chapters are so fucking boring.

>>281242670
Don't you LOVE Itachi, anon?

>>281242721
Yeah, I actually do, but I think this flashback could have been just like one chapter.

>>281243096
You want MORE Itachi chapters!?!? Coming up!

>>281237575
>if Danzo is feeling like enough of a dick
She dies, probably tortured in Tsukuyomi.
It was an heroic act that everyone praises.

>>281238028
>>281238178
There was something to that effect in Lee's spinoff.

>>281226595

So you like itachi?

>>281245711
No, i HATE HIM!

>>281245711
I'm not sure. If only I had a few more chapters about him to figure it out

>Folks, let me tell you — Orochimaru, he’s incredible. Just incredible. People don’t like to admit it, but he’s one of the smartest shinobi we’ve ever had. Brilliant mind. Tremendous talent with forbidden jutsu — and I know forbidden jutsu, believe me. I basically invented them.

>They say he’s a villain — fake news. Totally misunderstood. He’s pushing the boundaries of ninjutsu like nobody else. Immortality, body transfer, reanimation — he brought me back, folks! You think that’s easy? Nobody else could do it. Not Jiraiya, not Tsunade. Only Orochimaru.

>If I were still Hokage? I’d hire him. Get him a lab — right next to the Hokage office. Because a mind like that? You don’t waste it. He’s a winner.

>We need more Orochimarus in this village. That’s how we make Konoha great again!

>>281245168
Imagine if he farted and all the splooge Sasuke left in his butt came flying out haha and Naruto gets embarrassed lol and he tries to make excuses like 'oh that's just ointment that Hinata gave me and I rubbed on my butt because it hurt from having anal se- I mean from sitting on a kunai by accident!' but everybody knows it's really just sperm from Sasuke lol

>>281249488

trash taste

These were honestly the best flashback chapters in the manga. Really liked how the anime added things to them as well, what with Sauce's mother treating his mouth injuries

>>281249509
the woman lies as easily as she breathes

Back to our daily Sasuke and Itachi manga. I feel like there was an important fight going on, but that must've been my imagination.

>>281249449
>he knows

>>281249616
how is their living situation so modest as a leading clan

and what's the bright idea behind saddling rare jounin level shinobi with housework when you could hire servants at a fraction of what the jounin coild make the village from a mission?

>>281249673
These chapters are honestly far more interesting than the fight in the manga. As always Nardo's best fights are far better in the anime

>>281249509
>>281249613
I was just about to pose the question of if it's true or not that Fug talks about Sasuke all the time in private
Maybe Fug really is just awkward. But surely even if he's a bit awkward he could have thrown a few 'That's my boy!'s Sasuke's way every now and then

>>281249673
>>281249740
The fight is kinda shit in both versions if I'm honest

>>281249794
Iconic

>>281249481
These ninja clans are all incestuous, like those noble houses from the middle ages.

>>281249819
Nah, it's the best Naruto fight in the anime

>>281249865
Why would the Senju clan do this...?

>>281249460
Revenge was more desirable than his hormones.

>>281249787
praise makes you complacent. asian parenting, please understand.

now that I think about it Fugaku did a variant of the classic asian parent joke: "your brother got B on test. congratulations, you only son now"

>>281249488
>Why is everything always about Itachi?
I've been asking the same question for the last twenty years, Sasuke.

>>281249488
Temari? You really like Blondes don't you?
>>281249576
I interpret it more as him putting Sakura and Hinata on the same level.

>>281249460

>>281249844
medieval nobility wasn't that incestuous, you're thinking of the early modern period where a much more exclusive aristocratic elite emerged

cousin marriage was a thing in Europe since ancient times and was basically at its lowest around the eleventh-thirteenth centuries when the Church actually had some power to try and enforce its bans on it (up to sixth degree cousin marriage was officially banned and you had to brive church officials and such to look the other way)

there were some papers on this a while ago and apparently aristocratic incest was at its highest level in European history in the 18th century and at its lowest in the 11th

>>281250172
Sooo if Oro got a sharingan how would he unlock it?

>>281250172
I HATE itachi, or as I prefer to call him SHITachi

>>281250043
I really like short hair.

>>281250327
Maybe, but he would have to kill Kabuto.

>>281250327
He’s a Sigma, he has no friends.

>>281250440
It’s hard being the middle child. Between, daddy’s little princess and prodigy older brother, Sasuke had it rough.

>>281250559

>>281249661
I really like the way Kishi does side profiles, he’s got a pleasant art style

>>281250631
He had to farm a friendship out of Kabuto so he can unlock the Mangekyou

Izumisisters, where is she?

>>281250782
TSUNADE, JIRAIYA AND HIRUZEN WERE RIGHT THERE

You think Fugaku ever kissed Mikoto?

>>281250807
Work accquaintainces at best

>>281250321
The popular view of the middle ages is still extremely distored by 18th century narratives.

Based on modern research of human remains the average height in Europe peaked in the early 13th century (prior to the Black Death which tanked it for a while) and was at one of its lowest points in the mid 18th century. Europeans only surpassed their High Middle Ages ancestors in stature in the mid-to-late 19th century.

>>281250831
Why not just tell him straight up what one must do to get it? I know Fugaku knows it.

>>281250109
'fraid so

>>281250807
Did you see how he talked shit to Tsunade when her brother died? He was giddy to tell her.

>>281250833
He CRIED when he was about to fight Hiruzen. If he had the Shari and a sad music played he might have unlocked the Mangyeko upon killing his former master.

>>281250832
>MINATO KISS MY WIFE

>>281250832
No.
There was no kissing. There was no sex. Fug was way too autistic for that.

>>281250807
>Hiruzen
More like FUCK YOU OLD MAN I SHOULD’VE BEEN 4TH HOKAGE

Is it over? Can we get back to the fight now?

>>281250895
He already explained this...

>>281250807
>A WOMAN, AN EVEN BIGGER SEX PEST, AND KONOHA'S EVILIEST HOKAGE WERE RIGHT THERE

>>281250955
Now OP posts every page of both Itachi novels

The only way Orochimaru could unlock Mangyeko with strong enough emotions is through throwing a tantrum, pissing and screaming over how much Hiruzen fucked him over. Only that could compare to the level of grief a normal person experiences when they lose a dear friend. For Orochimaru it’s his pride and ego.

>>281250980
>he was proud to call them his friends

>>281250729
>To TASTE my abilities...

>>281250924
It feels like Kishi enjoyed drawing the moon (or who knows, maybe it was an assistant) so much that he eventually wanted to make it plot important much later

>>281250974
I have the same problem that I always tear up when stifling yawns.

>>281249509
He is too young to realize that a woman's lies are not to be trusted.

>By the way Sasuke, mom was lying. Dad never talked about you and never thought about you.

>>281250172
Oh.
Actually, wait a second. If he told 7-year-old Sasuke this, and Sasuke took it to heart, then why did Sasuke become a loner who wanted no friends? How could he obtain the Mangekyo without forming a bond to break?
He definitely said he was on his path of revenge when he was assigned to Team 7 so he couldn't have written it off.

>>281250194
It just barely crosses the line to make Konoha feel like it isn't a third world shithole anymore.

>>281249488
>>281249509
I'm really sorry for an apparently normal person like this having to manage this broken family.

I don't think he wanted to follow Itachi's instructions, and believed to be growing stronger, his despair at how weak he still is is the driving motivation this arc.

>>281250631

Post Sasusaku

>>281250554
Considering how Kishi writes her as being unable to hold a grudge (like with his other women), i feel like Hinata would stick with her "gut feeling" that her precious older brother was forced into it and there was noway he was evil and everyone else in the setting would be saying she's coping hard.
