The truth is shown but not before Sasuke and Itachi go out it one final time.

The fight here actually works. Even the dramatic build up to the "ultimate" attack from Sasuke, the last few smaller attacks, the epic summon, all of it worked because you feel the desperation of this guy trying to really murder his brother. The second half deals with the fallout and oh my, secrets are reveal. Some I could have guessed, some feel a bit lying, but the heart of it worked really well to help build Sasuke up and give him a new mission.

I will say I am eager now to see where Sasuke goes. From a few volumes ago I was tired of his bitching and complaining and was hoping he would get a new goal soon and he finally has one. Poor naruto group feels lost on their next mission but they might have a new enemy very soon.

A 4 out of 5.
