Getting close to catching up ~ I’m on episode 129~ Neji ;_;

I kind of don’t get why everyone is chasing after Sasuke though. He told them to forget him, that he has his own path to take. I guess that’s the storyline but I kind of believe that everyone has to live their destiny and even though they want to prevent Orochimaru from gaining his power, that almost seems like an aside. It’s sort of like Star Wars – if someone is going to go to the dark side, it’s really hard to prevent them from going that route. Even if they force him back, he will always have that restlessness in him. It won’t ever go away until he finds out for himself, realizes himself that he can’t achieve his happiness that way. People telling him is not gonna help. That’s what I think anyway so maybe that’s why I don’t hate Sasuke the way achan does. I get why he’s doing what he’s doing and hurting everyone he cares about in the process. But I really think everyone should let him find out for himself. Sure sure he’s part of their village but sometimes you just got to let it go. Now if they were chasing him to imprison him or something to prevent Orochimaru from gaining his power, that’s a different thing. But for obtaining his cooperation and staying with the village, forget about it x

Although… there have been times in my life, where although I was really stubborn about something, something someone said to me does impact me and changes my whole way of thinking about something (very few times but it does happen). So maybe they’re not too far off. I think it’s more like the experience of a tragedy/losing someone close to him that may waken him up to an epiphany. Maybe?
