One thing that always captured my imagination was Itachi and Sasuke’s relationship. While Sasuke seemed like your standard revenge-is-bad parable, I did enjoy his drive to kill his brother. And what’s better is that he actually accomplishes his goals. But what always captured my imagination the most was Itachi’s response to all of this. Itachi FOSTERED this mindset. He welcomed it and even hoped it’s what Sasuke would choose. In most stories, they explain why hatred leads to hollow feelings and why it makes you less of a person for chasing it, and how it can never bring back the dead, but Naruto’s story goes down a different route. While the story still talks about the self-perpetuating cycle of hatred, they don’t entirely judge you for it, and think that it’s a viable answer, and that people who say these things, that you can’t bring back the dead with revenge, are merely people who don’t understand what you’re feeling. Pain’s entire arc taught us that. It still warns about it, but more or less features the belief that it simply leads to a vicious cycle. Now am I saying it’s a good idea to seek revenge? No. But the feelings aren’t themselves an evil thing. The curse of hatred is something that we all go through at some point. When love is turned into hate. It’s not an unnatural thing for us. To be filled with anger and seek retribution is to be human. But as humans, imperfect and always growing and learning, we should strive to be more than human. To seek revenge is to seek justice for one’s self. But to deny revenge is to seek justice for the future generations after. But there I go monologuing again and rambling about the state of the world and the human condition. Did you not come here to be entertained? Then please grab a bowl of popcorn and allow me to weave you a dream in The Amagi’s world of Infinite Tsukuyomi. Let us view a world where Sasuke left with Itachi.
