[Manga] Masashi Kishimoto's Naruto Part 2

is it just me or is the strength balance between the fighters totally out of wack.
newest chaper(384)

Spoiler:

Sasuke beating Itachi? bull...CRAP.
Isn't itachi pretty much in orichimaru's league, and orochimaru stood up against the 3rd hokage. So what it showed there is that sasuke is now almighty stonger than the 3rd?
Itachi had better pulled out another damn genjetsu cause that felt like a pretty weak way to be killed off while on the other hand jaraiya just wouldn't die blow after blow and even then his death was still bull crap. "Oh I remember now I named naruto. No duh, no wonder his name is so stupid and full of delicious" :/

And what the hell is up with all the cheap moves. When sasuke fought the explosion artsy dude he "teleported" himself into another dimension using the sharingan?
Sasuke is way too strong now and Some of Jaraiya's backstory was told is a very rushy way as if to just tie in their stories.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Spoiler:

oh yeah your right, I actually read it again and it was actually a pretty smart move but still, Space time jutsu @_@
Techniquely he kinda transfered himself to the place where summoned beast go to didn't he o-0?

There's nowhere I can't reach.

so I finally caught up with all the flashback chapters up to 402

Spoiler:

It's kinda felt like they rushed to give itachi another meaning for his character in the mangaa, kinda like they went back to previous chapters and said "Oh wait remember that moment, lets take that panel and make it into a purpose that itachi had"

Also the whole time madara was telling the story it was so obvious that sasuke's new goal was going to be konoha. He's so easily manipulated. He didn't even question madara why itachi didn't want him to make contact with him.
Trying to avoid a little story time and Leaving a trigger in sasuke's eyes to kill madara in plain sight isn't enough reason to try to kill him.
Sasuke is obviously going to work for madara now whether he knows it or not. He's just too much in a gullible state

How ya doing, buddy?
