UchihaBros - they both needed that, clearly, and I'm glad they got it and that it actually was handled pretty well. Will hope that enough of Itachi's words and intentions have sunk in to Sasuke's thick skull to do him some good.
You're probably right re: back to original plot - Sasuke 'feels' very different than he has in awhile, and this thing with Itachi makes a good enough excuse that Kishimoto can probably get away with the disparity. But I'm glad Juugo and Suigetsu are back in the picture, and that they got to Do Something Important in bringing Sasuke whatever info was in that scroll.
and Anko may score a boyfriend, what, 10 years her junior?
Pfft. Yes. Would have to look up Juugo's age, honestly, but yes. ^_^ At the very least, there's some interesting conversations to be had there under non-war circumstances.
yes. Shisui does translate to "Death Water".
\o/ Am disproportionately pleased that I've been able to pick up enough of what things mean to clue in on that.
