~ (pg 1) SHIT, I KNEW IT! THE TAG!
~ That's quite a leap Kabuto's making.

~ (pg 2) Sasuke looks really pixelated through the Susano-o.

~ (pg 3) Oh boy. I'm nervous. Really nervous.

~ (pg 4) As Lord Freeza in Dragon Ball Z ABRIDGED said, "I feel like we've been here before, have we been here before?? o.o"

~ (pg 5) Quoting Freeza again: "Oh my god, this is happening again."
~ Itachi, will you stop leaning in so close? He's got a fucking tag!

~ (pg 8) "Get away from me, Sasuke." What, are you going to self-destruct??
~ Still sexy when you do that, Kabuto. -.-;
~ "Let's put an end to this fight." Let's not, it still feels early to me.

~ (pg 9) Lol, *grab*

~ (pg 10) Kabuto swore for once in his life. Don't believe I've ever heard him do that before. ô_ô
~ It took me a second, but that was pretty funny what Kabuto just did. ^^

~ (pg 13) I'm very confused.... Then again, why do I try to make sense out of Genjutsu? That's usually the idea, to confuse you.

~ (pg 14) Oh wait a minute ... INFINITE LOOP!

~ (pg 17) Is his eye fogged over because he just went blind in that eye, or is it just because he has Izanami turned on? And if it is blind ... wouldn't it heal, because of Edo Tensei?

~ (pg 1) Cool-looking fade in that first panel.
~ "Adding more and more to myself ..." Isn't that what Orochimaru did to himself as well? That didn't turn out so well. Unless Kabuto means in general, like any of the characters add more to themselves.
~ That piece of paper Kabuto has is making me nervous. If he gets that in Itachi's body ...

~ (pg 2) Interesting how Itachi says Kabuto's overestimating him. Usually it's the other way around (Kabuto being an exception in the past). Unless Itachi's bluffing.
~ Lol, "It's just a name. It doesn't mean anything by itself." I can kind of hear him add, "Nothing besides 'non-folding fan', and so what?" But this part: "Uchiha is just a name, it refers to our roots and clan. It doesn't mean anything by itself." That's really interesting. I have some ideas why, but it's hard to put into words. I think it leads somewhere to "Roots of long ago don't determine what you of today do." Or something like that. Maybe I'm overthinking it ... probably. Lol, that'd be funny if Itachi gets frustrated and thinks, "Does every little thing I say have to have some philosophy-changing meaning?"
~ Aww, little Kabuto shivering in the rain.... And does it mean something to him, like the clan fucked him over in some way?

~ (pg 3) Looks like Itachi might've pushed a button there with Kabuto.
~ Preparing something besides Izanami?

~ (pg 4) Oh -- HEY GUYS! I'VE MISSED YOU! Well, just Tayuya actually.
~ "Orochimaru-sama said ... if you want to know who you are, just gather all the things, all the information in this world!!" Kabuto ... (*sigh*) you poor soul. You'll probably come to your own conclusion anyway without doing all that. Or you could gather it all and just confuse yourself. Either way, I don't think it'll really help. More like, it could lead you to pretend to be someone else.

~ (pg 5) And what the hell is happening to that ... body coming out of his chest? Is it morphing or something?

~ (pg 7) NIISAN! HE SAID "NIISAN"! 8D
~ Uh-oh. They're separating. That could be what Kabuto wanted--!

~ (pg 8) She's not going to do much, but Tayuya is my favorite of the Otonin.

~ (pg 9) And here comes Orochimaru.

~ (pg 10) Kabuto's beginning to make me laugh. I kind of think he's trying to show off.
~ Ouch. Good one, Itachi. Kabuto looks so put out at that. Itachi's all, "Oh grow up."
~ Kabuto's kind of got a fair retort, though, but I think he missed the point.
~ Lol, Itachi's looking at Sasuke.

~ (pg 11) I swear, Kabuto's pouting whenever Itachi expresses displeasure.

~ (pg 12) Interesting, they're breaking each other out of the genjutsus using their own. That certainly takes trust.

~ (pg 13) AHAHA, KABUTO'S EXPRESSION!! He's all, 8[
~ And ... is he crying?

~ (pg 14) FUCK, THE TAG! KABUTO JUST MADE PHYSICAL CONTACT WITH ITACHI! THIS COULD BE BAD!!

... Unless there's another genjutsu set up. Or this is Izanami in effect already. Fuck, I don't know!

~ (pg 1) I wonder if he's going to tell him the truth. Or if he's going to make something up.

~ (pg 3) While I don't trust Orochimaru, that wouldn't surprise me if he were right. People they want to control completely. Therefore, Root is cool about it if someone leaves the group, so long as they feel the person's not a threat to them.

~ (pg 4) There's a naga in that tank.

~ (pg 5) I can totally see Danzou doing that. But I have to remember who's telling the story here.

~ (pg 6) Okay, physical evidence. Not something that can be made up on the spot. Still ... I wonder how long Orochimaru was thinking about how to bring Kabuto to his side.... Meh, whatever. I'm going to believe that he's being totally honest here.
~ Kabuto's getting that spooky look in his eye that doesn't mean anything good.

~ (pg 8) Orochimaru looks shocked as hell.... Never thought I'd see the day where Kabuto went completely ballistic on Orochimaru.

~ (pg 9) Holy shit. Holy ... shit. o.o

~ (pg 12) Yeah, I can see why that would be tempting.
~ Y'know, I'm a little surprised that Root doesn't put some kind of Curse Seal on its members, like what the Hyuuga have. So that if they ever feel someone becomes a threat they'd use it and ... But then, if they could, then every village would probably do that to its shinobi.

~ (pg 13) Awesome. =D

~ (pg 15) Orochimaru tempted a lot of people.

~ (pg 16) Oh god, Sasuke....
~ Hey ... what is that beaker and drip-thing signifying?

~ (pg 17) ... Sooo, what was all that stuff? Risky, isn't it? Injecting all that stuff? I mean, what is it?

~ (pg 1) Ah--! It's Orochimaru!

~ (pg 3) Orochimaru! I've missed you! (No, not really, but OROCHIMARU!)

~ (pg 4) And slightly younger Danzou! How's it hanging?
~ Is that dude an Aburame?

~ (pg 5) So was she in Root, then? Or did she just work for Danzou?

~ (pg 6) Orochimaru: "And you'd better be careful that none of your children get kidnapped, either. Children without any ties can be useful, you know ..." Orochimaru would be the one to say that, wouldn't he? Did I start to get past the old pedophile jokes about him in my head? "Well, we can't have that, can we," says the manga.
~ And Danzou & co. are still pretty sick fucks, I believe.... Oh wait -- this is a flashback. Of COURSE they're sick fucks. When were they not? Besides when Danzou was a cute little kid, that is.

~ (pg 7) I SEE YOU THERE!

~ (pg 8) "One of my subordinates died. So I'm taking one of your children with me to replace him." We get it, you're an asshole. Why not just come out and say the truth -- "Your kid saw too much, so he's mine now."
~ I think I'm starting to get the gist of Kabuto's life story--"shit life was shit". Who'da guessed. -.-

~ (pg 9) Oh my goodness, he's so tiny! 6_6
~ In other words, Kabuto, "Fuck you guys and thanks for all the fish."

~ (pg 10) Lol, hairstyle and headband change. The Suna getup ain't sexy.

~ (pg 11) What is his obsession with the curfew?

~ (pg 13) Whoops.

~ (pg 15) Yeeeeahhhh ... the fuck just happened? Is she blind? Under a genjutsu? Did she just die? And ... is that question like a creepy trigger response with Kabuto? A reminder of his no-identity thing?

~ (pg 17) Wow ... his eyesight is really bad.

~ (pg 18) Orochimaru: "LOL! You should've seen the look on your face!" Awesome joke, Orochimaru! XD


I'm also coming to see why he became rather attached to Orochimaru.

~ (pg 1) Kabuto's kind of funny there. He's honestly confused.

~ (pg 3) God, Sasuke's expressions are so cute.

~ (pg 4) His Mangekyou is blurring together a bit. It almost looks like he turned it off. And then in the lower left corner, it almost looks like a different Mangekyou. What is going on with Sasuke's eyes??
~ "That's why ... it's weird." Lol.

~ (pg 5) Oh my god ... his eyes ARE changing. What the hell?
~ Not fucking likely, dude.... Then again, Sasuke CAN surprise me from time to time. Though not often.

~ (pg 7) Is he traveling with Tobi there?

~ (pg 8) Yep.

~ (pg 9) LITTLE KABUTO! =D

~ (pg 10) That sounds tempting for fanfiction, Kabuto. But I doubt Sasuke would go for it that easily.

~ (pg 11) Oh great, now they're pointing fingers. "He's lying more than I am!" Good luck figuring this one out, Sasuke.

~ (pg 12) Very funny, Itachi. Fuck, that doesn't sound good. Things never work out that easily. Most likely Itachi won't get the chance. Or it'll be some bullshit thing and he just said this now to motivate Sasuke to help him. I want to believe him, but Kabuto's right: he is a good liar. That's why Sasuke hated him for so long; he bought almost everything Itachi told him.
~ If Kabuto is that good of a liar, though, he might be lying heavily about Edo Tensei. It actually MIGHT stop if they kill him.
~ And Sasuke, are you or are you not using your Sharingan? And in what form? It's really blurring together.

~ (pg 14) Izanami, maybe? Or did we see that already?

~ (pg 15) Yep! Saw that coming a mile away.
~ Itachi has his "grrr" face on.

~ (pg 1) This technique ... if Sasuke learns it, it could be really bad for Naruto. Or him.

~ (pg 2) What the hell is happening to this place?

~ (pg 3) Itachi, don't go down that easy!

~ (pg 4) "The heat also made this cave go back to its original shape." ... Umm, what?
~ (!!) GODDAMNIT ITACHI DON'T START APOLOGIZING! THAT'S NEVER A GOOD SIGN. >8(

~ (pg 5) "I really can't imagine myself losing." Honest, but possibly cocky.
~ What's with Orochimaru's ghost gesturing behind him?
~ Kind of funny how Itachi keeps hushing Sasuke.

~ (pg 6) "That's what a loser would say." When someone starts talking like that, you know they're defeat is not far away.

~ (pg 7) So Itachi DID run into some confusion in the past. I don't know how he could keep everything in his head straight. At least he's admitting it.

~ (pg 8) Awww ...

~ (pg 9) Didn't Tobi say something similar to Naruto not long ago? Except that he believed that his identity didn't really matter, or something?

~ (pg 11) So THAT'S where his name came from.
~ I'm really not sure what to think of the guy with the dark hair, though.

~ (pg 13) Is this, like, one of those orphanages run by nuns or something?

~ (pg 14) How old is he there, anyway?

~ (pg 17) That's going to spawn some more fanfiction, I'm sure. What was Kabuto's identity before he was found? Etc.
