Naruto Chapter 549

[rockmanj]

For the first time, I actually wish Kishimoto pulled out something really cheap like making the Crow somehow revive Itachi and get him loose from the Kabutomaru jutsu thingy. Almost like if he saw the future back then, and planned for this all along, trusting he would bump into Naruto in the future. Wishful thinking. I just think Itachi is a much more interesting character to have roaming around than Sasuke. Especially considering "that eye guy" is still in business.

That would have been Uber-Ridiculous...Itachi is not omniscient like Aizen.

Well i'm reserving judgement for now, but if it turns out the crow is there to negate Itachi, then I will call Aizen on this one.
However my guess is they will explain it such that the crow was meant to negate mangekyou in general, which would prove useful the next time Naruto encountered Sasuke.
