Good point man. That's such a dodge on the author's part. Sasuke's entire motive hinges on his relationship with Itachi. It all falls apart if Itachi can freaking talk to him again and explain what exactly happened.

Which is total BS too, because Sasuke has known about Edo Tensei since the Chuunin exam arc. And he had plenty of time to learn it while Orochi's protege, and if not that, then after he found out the "truth" from Madara. I dno, on both ends it seems very weak. Itachi should 100% want to see his brother.

It's more important to stop madara + kabuto and end the edo tensei jutsu than to tell sauske he's a moron.

I can actually see Orochimaru coming back if Kabuto manages to get him out of Susanoo's sealing during the coming Kabuto/Itachi fight. But maybe I am just being hopeful because I don't see Madara as being that great of a main villain.

No, they're never at the same place. Manga to anime adaptation are never 1-to-1. The manga is always ahead of the anime. The anime will usually have filler episodes mixed in with the canon material so the manga can get further ahead.

The manga is ahead of the anime. The anime also has filler episodes that aren't in the manga.

It's Naruto in the last picture. You can clearly see the chakra around his hand.

This last chapter really ticked me off. So naruto hasn't matured in all this time, in everything he's seen and done and expierenced, he hasn't been able to glean enough to make sensible decisions? When he fought pain, he was in complete control of his emotions, but now he's resorted back to being a whiny kid who wants to do things his own way? Waste of a chapter. Get this crap out of here.
