So… It seems like Naruto was actually saying that he wasn’t strong enough to defeat Sasuke on that panel:

Damn, my boy Kakashi got seriously baited.

lol. score i get to be hokage…wait wut?!
wheres ashton…cuz my nigga got punked.
When the duty fell to him, he was ready to do what needed to be done, but it’s not like Kakashi was jumping at the opportunity to become Hokage in the first place.
The position may still go to him though. Who knows how well Tsunade really is right now, or how she’s going to deal with the trouble Konoha’s gone through on her watch.
The best thing is Sasuke catching the initial EMS high and tweaking out. “Yeah maaaaaaaaannnnnnnnnn, I"M FEELING IT!!!”
Awww! Looks like no Hokkashi.
the eye stuff still doesn’t make sense. i was under the impression that one brother would go blind and use the other brother’s eyes…yes…but the other brother’s eyes would be in excellent shape. thats what happened before.
what this is is one blind guy taking another blind guy’s eyes.
this is like stevie wonder asking to borrow ray charles’ eyes with the expectation of being able to see. how does this make sense…??
The quality of the eyes doesn’t matter, it’s all about the switching. Once you switch you get infinite MP no downtime.
Is it really that hard to follow a manga designed for adolescents, or are people just fishing for lame excuses to bash the Sauce? Why would there be hype for an “Eternal” Mango Sharingan if it just made your vision eternally shitty? It’s a good thing Dragonball chapters weren’t posted week-by-week on the internet back in the day, or there would be all kinds of stupid posts like, “Why does Goku have gold hair? It was black a second ago, and dying hair takes at least 30 minutes. This manga is totally retarded because it doesn’t have realistic hair transformations. Up until now, it has been a very accurate depiction of the martial arts, what with the aliens and the hurling the balls of energy.”
^:rofl: I almost miss rep now.
this eye switching business is so stupid.
does this mean madara’s brother stayed eyeless for no reason?
he didnt figure maybe he could take his bros worn out eyes and maybe use them, just like how madara was using his?
doesnt this really mean that everyone in the uchiha clan should have had two kids and then just swap one kids set of eyes for the other and vice versa (=NO BLIND UCHIHAS AT ALL)?

It’s probably not eye swapping, more like eye fusion to create superior eye.
I wonder if we’ll get to see an all out Sasuke vs Madara fight soon.
edit
Definitely a fusion type deal.

clearly u never went to planetnamek.com they were posted up in a week by week basis.

WAT.
where the FUCK does it say that???
It doesn’t. It is an eye transplant. Meaning Sasuke’s eyes had to be removed, and he now has Itachi’s eyes in his sockets. I don’t know how this eye smash fusion nonsense picked up steam, and not just here.
We still don’t know why Madara(and now Sasuke, thanks to Madara) has been the only one to successfully acquire the power of the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan. Itachi said that members of the Uchiha clan have attempted to repeat Madara’s success many times, and failed. The one thing that was unique about Madara(which Sasuke shares), is that uncommonly strong eye power/chakra; that probably has something to do with it.
It’s also possible that things ended up the way they did for Izuna because Madara wasn’t being entirely honest about the way he got his eyes.

But he still has his own eyes right? Because from what we know you need two sets of MS eyes to get one set of EMS eyes. LoL

i would speculate it’s a combination of fusion and transplantation. just transplanting sounds to simple to me.
To be honest, there HAS to be ‘something else’ we are missing. Otherwise, everyone would just up and switch with their family-member’s eyes to begin with, so that they don’t have to worry about going blind ever. (Or maybe Kishi just hasn’t through this through.) Someone just recently linked a page where it talked about how “for generations they have tried to repeat this” (… process that Madara did to obtain EMS), “…and failed” so obviously you just can’t go about switching your eyes around on the regular.
However, there’s NOTHING to suggest its a fusion or any such nonsense. Speculating I suppose is fine, although from everything we have seen in the manga, it seems to me that it’s just a straight up transplant. Why it works for some, and not for others, is a different issue.
I don’t really care if it’s explained personally - it’d be nice to know the specifics, but I’d rather just have the manga move the fuck on at this point.
