I actually liked seeing Sasuke choose the village for once because he finally understands what Itachi died for and seeing the Hokages jump off their faces was so cool even if the pacing was slow

Tobirama keeps hating on the Uchiha but the way everyone just accepts Orochimaru helping now is the real mystery of the episode and the ending shot on the monument looks amazing

The flashbacks took up way too much time today and I just wanted to see Sasuke make his choice instead of watching things we already saw ten times before

I felt this immense sense of relief watching Sasuke finally process everything Itachi did, realizing just how much his brother truly sacrificed for the Leaf. Honestly, his whole revenge quest seemed so small and petty in comparison, and I just wanted to cheer him on for finally seeing the bigger picture.

I'm so relieved Sasuke finally chose to protect the Hidden Leaf, it really felt like he was constantly teetering on the edge, and now Itachi's sacrifice finally feels properly honored.

I find it pretty funny how Suigetsu and Jugo are just blindly tagging along with Sasuke, no matter what crazy plan he cooks up. It makes me wonder if they're truly loyal or if they just don't know what else to do with themselves after all they've been through, like they lost their own direction somewhere along the way.

After all the rage Sasuke clung to for so long, I was genuinely surprised to see him choose to honor Itachi by defending the Leaf Village, the very place he once swore to destroy. It’s kinda bittersweet, seeing him finally move past that obsession, but I'm really hoping this means he can start to heal after everything.

How can Sasuke honestly believe becoming the world's common enemy will bring peace; I swear his logic is so twisted, yet a part of me kinda got it when he laid out all the shinobi history? It's just like him to take the most extreme, isolating path, and honestly, my heart just sank watching him commit to that messed-up vision.

Minato standing right alongside Hashirama, Tobirama, and Hiruzen on the battlefield was a genuine shock; I seriously held my breath seeing all four of them united like that. It immediately made me wonder if this is *the* moment the entire war pivots, and I can't wait to see them absolutely dismantle whatever Obito and Madara throw at them next.

I was totally surprised to see Sasuke try to take on a role like Itachi's, wanting to be hated to unite everyone, it's so twisted but makes me wonder if he truly believes that's the only way for things to change. The Kages admitting their failures felt like a huge moment for me, like finally, they're getting real about what led to all this mess, and now I'm just so ready for them to get to the battlefield already.
saguaro
I was really struck by how Sasuke finally put it all together about Itachi; it's almost heartbreaking that it took this long for him to truly grasp the weight of his brother's sacrifice, but man, it finally gave him a reason to think about Konoha in a new light, you know?

Minato, the legendary Yellow Flash, was always this beacon of perfection in my mind, so seeing him totally choked up about his failings as a dad and a leader was genuinely startling. It made me realize that even the strongest Hokage aren't immune to crippling self-doubt, and I found myself feeling this weird mix of sadness and empathy for him in that moment.

When the Third Hokage finally owned up to his failures with Danzo, my jaw practically dropped because I'd always seen him as this perfect, wise leader. It's kinda crushing to hear him admit such a profound mistake, but it also makes me understand just how much pressure he was under all these years, trying to protect the village.

Sasuke actually choosing to protect the Leaf, all because of Itachi's memory, really caught me off guard – I honestly didn't think he had it in him after all this time, but seeing him finally understand Itachi's true sacrifice felt like a massive turning point for his character. I just hope this change sticks and isn't another one of his back-and-forths.
iono_363
I seriously didn't think I'd ever see Sasuke come to the Leaf Village's aid, and honestly, a huge weight lifted off my shoulders with his revenge plot finally shifting. Seeing the Hokage about to jump into the war with him is just the kind of crazy turn this arc needed to keep me on the edge of my seat.

Sasuke finally choosing to protect Konoha, all in Itachi's honor, totally caught me off guard after thinking he was lost to darkness forever. I honestly felt this surge of hope, like he’s finally making his own decisions based on what his brother truly wanted, instead of just blind revenge.

I was seriously getting tired of all the flashbacks, it felt like the plot was stuck in quicksand. But then Sasuke actually began talking to Hashirama, and I just had this surge of hope that maybe, just maybe, this is where he finally finds some kind of direction. I'm really rooting for him to move past all this inner turmoil now.
kaolinite_382
Sasuke, actually standing there and internalizing the Hokage's words about the village, gave me chills because I honestly didn't think he was capable of that level of introspection anymore. His choice to join the alliance, even if it's just temporary, felt like a huge step for him, and for the first time in ages, I felt a tiny bit of hope that he might truly be turning over a new leaf.
benedict_blue_170
I honestly didn't see Sasuke actually heading to the battlefield coming, after all that talk about destroying Konoha. It just makes me wonder if Itachi's sacrifice finally got through to him, and now he can truly rest knowing his little brother isn't completely lost.

I was genuinely surprised to hear Itachi articulate Hashirama's vision so perfectly, it really showed a depth to him that I sometimes forget. Watching Sasuke finally connect with that understanding felt like such a massive turning point for him, and I'm honestly wondering what it means for his path forward now.
EPISODE CONTEXT
Episode 370 directly follows the extended Hashirama flashback arc where the founding of the Hidden Leaf and its ideological roots were laid bare, giving Sasuke the full picture he demanded before choosing a side. This episode serves as the critical turning point where historical exposition ends and Sasuke's decision propels him — and the narrative — back into the Fourth Shinobi World War battlefield. It bridges the introspective detour with the war's climactic phase, making it essential viewing for understanding Sasuke's motivations in every major conflict that follows.
