Don't forget how Kakashi shit on him from a great height. "Oh, you have two eternal sharingan? That's nice, lemme show you how its done using a pair of borrowed eyeballs a full level below yours."
Yes, there are like 4 or 5 scenes over the course of the war that point to Sasuke not wanting to play ball with everyone else.

So I was re-reading on MS.
Sasuke goes to make sure Madara is dead and Hagoromo stops him and says that Hashirama and Madara are about to speak and it's wise for him and Naruto to listen to them. After the death scene between the two there is a panel of Sasuke's face:
It looks like he kind of learned a lesson there or took it to heart at least. Is it just me reading that drawing that way?

No he definitely looks pensive along with an undercurrent of sadness. I could understand a sense of disappointment too, but his lips are a bit too downward curved for me to get that reaction.
I enjoy Sexy Jutsu as much as the Naruto fan, but
it is a variation of Henge no Jutsu.
Kushina's ultimate is fucking terrifying. Squashing tomatoes is, I imagine, a euphemism for her bludgeoning someone's face in. Also, what the fuck in regards to her other jutsu right? Frying pans and shit.
Minato's jutsu looks boss, but Madara and Hashirama take the cake alright.
I think it's a reminder how they both hit Naruto.
Kushina smacked him when he accused her of being the Kyūbi, remember?Yeah, it was tough being a Naruto fan when Sasuke was being nothing but badass and Naruto was running after him like a tool.
I liked Naruto's development best when he was hanging out with Jiraiya in Part I, learning how to walk on water, demand "rent" from Kurama, summon toads and learn to use the Rasengan... He eclipsed Sasuke in no time, and yet after spending 2-3 YEARS with the man, he comes back with an Ōdama Rasengan? Come the fuck on.
The thing about Naruto's dimwittedness is that he learns by doing. He doesn't understand jackshit in regards to theories unless you keep it very simple. I find that interesting, though sometimes Kishi takes it way too fucking war, e.g. when Kakashi was explaining the Kage Bunshin training method. Ugh.
B- b- but they're totally equals, right? Right?! I mean, Yin and Yang and all that...

Sasuke needs a break, a month to think or at least a good nights rest.
also where you do you rank the anime fight of Kakashi vs Obito?

They are as equal as 100 Dollars and 100 Pesos. Sure they are the ''same'' but one is clearly better.

For the looks of it, the series might end as soon as next week. I'm sad =(
Naw ,if it was ending next week we would know about it.
There's still shit to sort out, this isn't ending for at least a month. Depending on pacing, it could easily be more.

I wonder what's going to happen.

Thanos acquires the fully powered Infinity Gauntlet in The Avengers: Infinity War, but loses when all the superheroes team up together to stop him.

Definitely not going to end next week. Lolwtf?
But the end of this year is plausible. I still expect there to be more Naruto after this ends.
kill me if i'm wrong

Yeah, this was by far the best Naruto design.
nods head with satisfaction
The man has spent about 15 years of his life writing Naruto, with fewer breaks than most manga-ka I know of. It's also very likely he intended to end the manga a few years ago, judging by his interview, but was either pressured into continuing (not uncommon in the manga industry I hear) or simply couldn't pace it right. The man hasn't even been on his honeymoon yet. That's how crazy his work ethic is.
I got a lot of respect for Kishimoto, even if I am critical of his manga.
I imagine we'll still get a Naruto/Sasuke fight...
If the next volume (71) contains as many episodes as the recent ones, this week's episode is just the beginning of volume 72 (and volume 72 would end a bit before the premiere of the movie, too, for what it's worth).
He is a damn good Mangaka. His work is even more appealing to me than Toriyama, and I love DB.
I agree. If there is a series out there that could top DB for me it would be Naruto.
Too popular for Shonen Sunday to end it.
Art wise, its one of the best I feel.
Its been going for 20 damn years.
It looks great at time but I don't think it is one of the best.
I definitely feel Kishimoto doesn't get anywhere near enough credit for his art. I'd say it's easily among the best out there. It's nowhere near as busy or hectic as manga like One Piece, but is also nowhere near as bare as Bleach. Kishimoto also doesn't fuck around with my sense of scale. I hate it when Oda does that.
Best among what, Manga artist in general or Shonen artist?

I forgot the Itachi one, but I didn't count Zarbon because Vegeta defeated him in a rematch.
I view jobbing as a way to compare the differences between the jobber and the next contestant.
I was thinking of shōnen manga-ka, but I believe he's the best amongst both, imo.
Neji? Who is that?
Hundreds.
Then you know that he not one of the best.

Honestly Sasuke seems to have been heavily inspired by vegeta just like Naruto was heavily inspired by Goku.
the differences being is that Vegeta and Goku are badasses that started off as enemies, and then grew into friendly rivals. While Naruto and Sasuke started off as friendly rivals then turned into enemies, well one sided enemies cause Naruto is too obsessed with Sasuke. Like one thing that annoys me about Naruto is that he thinks he knows sasuke better then sasuke, he says theyre like brothers when honestly they were more close friends. Like Sasuke left the village of his own accord, no one forced him to do it. Honestly in my eyes Shikamaru is Narutos best friend, theyre closer.
Sorry bout that, just needed to rant...

People overblown Naruto's shortcomings because is popular to hate. The same thing will happen to One Piece in a couple of years.

Kishimoto is definitely someone I respect a lot. And his art is definitely among the best for shonen. Haven't read a ton of other stuff to see. It's perfectly balanced especially during action. It's not absolutely hideous like Attack on Titan and it's not a slog to read and see what's going on like in One Piece.
I know that appreciation of art is subjective.
Im mostly kidding right now. It think Naruto art can be great at times but like most weekly manga 90% of the time it looks just ok.

Yeah I sometimes feel the same way, when I was younger I did think Kishi was like the best manga-ka but now hes third behind Oda, and the best manga-ka being Araki. God Jojo is so freakin good!
I think Kishimoto's art has a very nice balance between simplicity and detail, and when he goes out of his way to be a little more artsy, the results are awesome. You can see it in a lot of his colour spreads.
