Naruto - Chapter 462
Sasuke’s Dogma
I though revelations time was over, wasn’t expecting this. So, the Senju and Uchiha clan are direct descendants from the so called Sage of the Six Paths. His two sons. They both created their own clans and were constantly in war. Trying to decide who would inherit their fathers will. Basically, the chain of hatred started as soon as the shinobi world started.
The first Hokage and Madara were already fated to meet in battle, has the two strongest descendants at their time. Anyway, things calmed a little and a union was formed like we already know and it all fell to crap again when they decided to wipe-out the Uchiha.
Still, the Uchiha were also plotting against Konoha so.. the meaning is that it’s just a circle of hatred that’s been going on from the start. No one can be directly blamed for any of it. But, Naruto and Sasuke can stop it. They don’t have to follow the first Hokage and Madara, they can truly unite. After that, they would have time to deal with the rest of the world.
Also, side note, Pain was just a mutation, probably much like the Byakugan mutated from the sharingan. Still, that was one hell of a doujutsu, although it didn’t get a chance to be passed along like the sharingan and byakugan. This basically means there could be more doujutsu all over the world, and more could still appear.
Anyway, on topic again. Naruto is now probably fired up. He now knows what’s going on and what he has to do.
Meanwhile, the battle continues and it’s awesome. I loved Juugo, the obvious fact that he wasn’t dead just yet, the Raikage (really frightening) and Sasuke taking out C and going ONE on ONE with the beast. Too bad C didn’t have more chances, seemed like an interesting and very intelligent shinobi. Suigetsu managed to be the least impressing but, I think we can expect a decent fight from with Darui. He hasn’t had that much time for a full fledged fight, we’ve only learned he can get much stronger and do some water tricks. I hope he has some air time in the next chapter.
As for Sasuke versus Raikage, I’m really interested to see how Sasuke will take him. It seems the Raikage has taken his physical type jutsu to such an awesome level that it even protects him from the sharingan.. Can chidori compete with that? Still, I think the mangekyou will be a little too much. And it’s not like the others know about the mangekyou, so when they say "the sharingan has no effect" they are probably not taking the mangekyou into consideration.
The art was awesome too but, that’s the case everytime :)
Concluding, another awesome chapter, both in action and in story. Naruto has really turned epic in this latest arcs. I’m loving this manga.
- Personal Enjoyment: 5/5
The Raikage is too fast for the regular Sharingan to read. I think the field that surrounds the Raikage is electric (like Killer Bee) so I don’t think Chidori would be very effective. I remember Sasuke trying to use electric attacks against Killer Bee and getting owned. If Sasuke is going to win, it’s probably going to be through an eye hack (Amateratsu etc.).
