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.
