Sasuke's lost his 'will of fire' the moment he betrayed Konoha and stabbed Naruto in the chest TWICE with power ment to protect. While during the VotE Sasuke's attack was close, but Naruto's was spot on. Sasuke's got near the heart while naruto's would have destroyed the heart and lungs. Naruto being naruto wanted to keep a promise and prove a point so he redirected that aim. He scratched the forehead protector in the hopes of saving someone he see's as a brother (sasuke), and bring the person he love's happiness (sakura) even if it isn't with him (naruto).
All For what? All for power from Orrochimaru to face against Itachi's power? Power's both Orochimaru and Itachi gained while ninja of Konoha, and developed while in Konoha. Major lopehole, and well a revalation in logic. Just shows how revenge will cloud the mind of all rational thought. With all that has happened now, and well you get the point of what is and what will happen. The Uchiha's will end up like the Rikudo Sennin, Godlike in power but ultimately dead like a corpse, a memory in a text book.
All on Uzumaki's lost hopes and Uchiha's foolish ambitions.
Am I right Kishimoto :rotf: ?
Masashi is still alive btw...
