Sasuke looks so creepy with those marks on his face and he really just spit on everything Naruto said about their friends without even blinking
geeta_360
I can't believe Itachi used to be such a nice big brother in these memories and now Sasuke is obsessed with killing him to the point of hurting his own team
simon_the_digger_185
It is actually crazy how much the tone has changed since the beginning of the series, because now Sasuke is just straight up trying to murder Naruto at the waterfall. The part where he talks about his dream being in the past felt so heavy and seeing Naruto refuse to give up even after being beaten down was a lot to take in.

I hate seeing Sasuke hit Naruto that hard and make him cough up blood like it means nothing to him because they were literally best friends like a week ago
saria
Watching Naruto scream at Sasuke to come home and just getting a cold look in return was a total gut punch and it proves their bond is totally broken
joseph_joestar
Sasuke saying his dream only exists in the past is the saddest thing he ever said and it really shows how much Itachi messed with his head
muichiro_misty
Sasuke using the cursed seal power to absolutely wreck Naruto is terrifying and it makes you realize he is actually serious about leaving the village for good
shussebora_56
It is so sad how Naruto is pouring his heart out and Sasuke is just standing there stone faced and ready to kill him for power
elle_hq
I really felt for Naruto when he was shouting about their bond and Sasuke just stared at him with those cold eyes like it meant nothing at all because he is so focused on his brother and the Cursed Seal looks terrifying when it spreads across his skin and I am just so stressed about what happens next at the waterfall
yiga_clan
The animation during their scramble at the waterfall was smooth, and it really sets the tone for how desperate Naruto is to save his friend
tellu
Sasuke is being such a jerk right now, but seeing how his dad always compared him to Itachi makes his need for power a bit more relatable
bazardo_blast_484
Naruto trying to talk some sense into him only to get a fist in the face is so brutal and it feels like there is no coming back from this rift
yukio_yukimura_490
Watching Sasuke throw away his bond with Naruto for revenge makes my chest hurt and those flashbacks to Itachi being the favorite son explain everything
iris
Naruto standing up even after coughing up blood shows he is never going to let Sasuke walk away to Orochimaru without a fight
loveablepanda101
Sasuke just punched Naruto into a cliff and you can tell the Cursed Seal power is making him way too dangerous to reason with right now
sailor_iron_mouse
I hate seeing Sasuke act this cold and hearing him talk about his father makes me understand why he is so obsessed but Naruto screaming for him to come home actually hurts
darmani
the part where naruto was literally begging him to come back while sasuke just stood there in the rain was so sad to see
binbogami_buster_29
you can tell how much stronger sasuke has gotten during the fight at the waterfall and he is definitely not the same kid we knew at the start
vincentblack
those flashbacks of itachi really help you understand why sasuke is doing this but it still feels wrong that he is leaving the village like this
sakurafan
it looked like sasuke was barely even trying and he still made naruto cough up blood after that one hit
EPISODE CONTEXT
Sitting deep in the back half of Naruto's original 220-episode run, episode 128 is firmly within the climactic stretch of the Sasuke Retrieval arc — the emotional centerpiece of the entire series. It follows the intense physical confrontation of 'Vengeful Strike! The Bracken Dance' and directly sets the stage for 'Brothers: Distance Among the Uchiha,' pivoting toward the Uchiha family's tragic history and the forces driving Sasuke's choices.
