LOL
XDXDXD
Sasuke's eyes literally made me LOL. It was a fantastic chapter and I was listening to sad music... and then all of a sudden I had visions of Sasuke exploding in one great big nuclear explosion.
DON'T BLINK, SASUKE. YOU MIGHT EXPLODE.
I quite liked the chapter though. Even though most of it felt disappointing due to the large amount of flashbacking... I was quite pleased by the end of it. I guess I'm just excited that the story is finally going to pick up again. And the more I think about it, the better it gets. Most of what I'm hoping for probably won't happen... but hey! At least it keeps me interested in the series. XD

I'm also pretty miffed that he skipped over the entire Kisame/Suigetsu fight. That could have been awesome.

All of this is true. You've like...stolen my lines. However, it's interesting to see, that Sasuke has dropped the name Hebi, in favour of (Sorry, don't know the Japanese name here) Hawk, and yet his purpose is the same as that as Orochimaru... and Madara. Now, you see Madara there as well. Does that mean he's decided to join Team Hawk? Man, that quote though..."Sorry Sasuke. There won't be another time." That hit me kinda hard. Really cemented the "Good Itachi theory"... ... Oh well. That and, I dunno whether Binktopia had more time to clean it up, but this chapter actually looks clean, and well drawn. Take for example, the Sasuke-emo picture (p 14-15), although it's him having an emo cry, it's well drawn. Finally, story movement (atomic eyes XDXDXD) and a new direction. Kishimoto opened the door and finally let some fresh air in to the horrible humid air that was the old Naruto... ... Speaking of which. When's the man going to make his appearance...the main character I mean...no...not Sasuke. Naruto

I have one thing to say in response to Sasuke's eyes.
What
The
Freaking
CRAP?
Now, sure, it's a plot development and that's to be applauded. But why is it that any movement in the story at all has to do with Doujutsu these days? It's either Pain and his Rinnengan (does ANYBODY even know what that actually does yet?), or the Uchiha and the Sharingan - which was broken enough on its own, before Kishimoto added the first Mangekyou we see. Now this was supposed to be the ultimate Sharingan - but wait, there's more! Order now and we'll throw in interdimensional time-space jutsu at no cost! Who knows what these crazy eyes can do?
Honestly, I'd just as soon not find out and get back to the main character instead. Also, the last page of the chapter did present some interesting thoughts: notice the way Sasuke's face is distorted in that last shot. It seems to imply that he's not himself at the moment, if you know what I mean. And his use of Orochimaru's catchphrase "Crush Konoha" is interesting, too.
By the way, what's with the name Eagle (as I saw it translated - can no one just use the Japanese words anymore?)? Did Sasuke decide he needed a new name, and just randomly happen to see an Eagle? o__O

Hmm, well, there was lots of reference before K-chan, about Sasuke choosing between being a Hawk (his second seal form) and the Snake (and the powers of Orochimaru) So, I think that's why people have translated it as Hawk. By the way, I've got an interesting comparison (Piccys courtesy of Onemanga.com) Thought the comparison was interesting.

Yeah. That was the first thing I thought too. I was waiting for the parallel shot of Sasuke crying. haha.
I prefer Hawk to Eagle. Eagle sounds kinda... TOO LONG. And there's no Ks to make it KOOL. XD
