The boat ride with Sasuke and Orochimaru was unexpectedly profound; I was genuinely taken aback by their thoughtful exchange about the post-war world. It really makes me wonder if Sasuke, seeing the shinobi treated like property in the colosseum, is finally grasping that there's more to life than just vengeance, maybe even finding his own meaning after everything he's been through. I felt a glimmer of hope for him there.
