PREFACE: If any of the contents of this post has offended any Sasuke fan, I'm sorry! It's just an insight of an individual, not much of a massive damage, right? ~_~" Right, I hope so.

I. PREDICTIONS

Hmm... No matter how hard Tsunade tries to restrain Sasuke from approaching Orochimaru, I think Sasuke will still be on the bad side. Sure, he's the 2nd main character but... to every character, there's a twist, right? I think if Sakura has gained what SHE wanted, she, herself, would get the hell out of Konoha and find him. (Insert: I just wish she'll get kidnapped by a Sound nin and hopefully, Sasuke's with the Sound Village now and then, Sakura goes berserk -she inherited some monsterous strength from her mentor, right?- and kinda causes havoc. Then, Sasuke, himself, will restrain her. And... you decide what happens next.) I think he will be stronger, still. Beat that, I think after joining Orochimaru, he'll join Akatsuki. But the possibilities are just 3 out of a hundred. Why? Because his brother is there! Why would he work together with his brother if he hates him?

Hmm... The part where Sasuke would kill Itachi...? I'm trying to visualize it, but somehow, I can't because I still think that Itachi is still stronger than Sasuke. Hey, don't get me wrong, I like Sasuke better than Itachi but I base my hypothesies on facts!

II. SASUKE'S CHARACTER TYPE

He needs a lot of attitude change, that's all. (Insert: Remember the episode where Sakura tries to restrain Sasuke from leaving Konoha? I think she made an impact on him. He was a guy who would never, NEVER, say "thank you" to anyone... But he just said that to Sakura! That even made my jaw drop! I never ever thought he had that in his vocabulary! I think if Sakura pushes more, he'll be able to get over to the positive side of life.) Yes, and that time when Kakashi lectured Sasuke... I do agree with him not to avenge the clan anymore. It's pointless! Don't get me wrong, I'm a part of a massive clan in my city but if, for example, my only sibling (my older sister) would kill them all and I'm the only one spared, would I be angry? Of course, yes! But if the years have gone by, I'll put aside the revenge stuff and leave her on her own. Karma has ways of tormenting people needed to be punished, no need to take the place and do the job of Karma.

III. QUESTIONS

One and all wanted to ask this simple question... Why Sasuke, why?

Why did you come over to the bad side? Sure, he wants power, he wants to kill his brother, he wants to avenge his clan, he wants to overpower Naruto, but still, why?

IV. FINAL COMMENTS

Uchiha Sasuke... He's a rookie. He's a genius, no, a prodigy of his time. But I think he's got to loosen up the attitude problem. When he becomes jealous... it's bad. *sigh* Where's the old Sasuke when you need him...

::Releina Artemis::

1)Sasuke will come back to Konoha. Either by force or he will have a realization through Naruto. Naruto is the light after all.

2)When he appears in the manga, he will probably be dress in black and looks more mature.

3)About Itachi? It's still too early for him to beat his brother. Itachi's waaay too strong.

CHARACTER TYPE

Dark. Very dark. But even in the deepest darkness there is still some light within him. He showed it during his fight with naruto. He admitted that naruto is his closest friend. Plus, he didn't kill him.

OVERALL

Sasuke has a very nice character design. His tragic past, mature attitude and his overall personality gives an intriguing air around him. All his life he focused on revenge, hate and anger. He will totally abandon everything just to achieve his goals. But underneath he's still a confused young boy. Trying to find his way and purpose in life. I think there will always be a part of the old sasuke left in him.

Ok, I haven't gotten all that far into the anime. Only to about where Sasuke is chasing after Garra and the other Sand ninjas, but I've been reading a lot (as research for a forthcoming story) and know/have pieced-together what will happen up to the point where Sasuke joins Ochimaru. So, without further ado, my prediction:

Sasuke will be the 'tragic hero' of the series. There are several ways this could happen, such as Sasuke dying in a fight with Ochimaru, which I don't think will happen. (I think it will be Naruto who has to kill Ochimaru in the end.) Or, more probable, Sasuke fights and kills Itachi, either dying himself in the process, or becoming a criple.

Theories

Hmmm, I don't have any in particular for Naruto, but if you asked me about Wheel of Time... ;)

Well, that's a lie, see below.

Observations

Remember when Kakashi trained Sasuke and gave him the copied skills from Rock Lee? In only a month Sasuke was able to put himself near par with Lee's skill level (meaning that he would have at least a fighting chance instead of being soundly whipped). Now, the quick and easy way to explain the jump in power/skill would be to say that Kakashi repeated his copied skills and had Sasuke copy them himself, and then conecetrating on training physically to the point where he could use those skills. But what if the Sharingan also alows the 'copying' of a skill to another person using a Sharingan? Could Sasuke perhaps use/modify this ability to steal/forcibly-copy skills from Itachi? It presents a possibility, but personally, I think all the Sharingan's abilities are quite more than enough.

Questions

I'm not going to ask any real questions at the moment because they'll probably be answered by the time I catch up. But what about a Temari/Sasuke pairing?

He probably still likes his brother, and can't forget the brother he used to love so much. I sound like Itachi, but he really hasn't enough hatefulness to be the strongest. *scratches head* That's it, roughly.

Predictions? He's too popular to die. Eventually, after a big, epic, volume-spanning fight with Akatsuki's leader, he and Naruto with all their buddies, will return to Konoha. If there's any romantic conclusion (I sincerely hope not), he'll end up with Sakura and *shudder* become a police officer.

Evil Sasuke is a lot more fun.

1. Sasuke would die...

2. If it's a naruhina pairing, sakura would end up with neji...

3. if it's a nejihina pairing (if possible, cause i can see a lot of hints to this), sakura would end up with naruto

4. After Sasuke dies, sakura and naruto would just be the best of friends

5. Or after he dies, Sakura would end up with Sai?!

Other Predictions:

1. Sasuke would be saved by akatsuki (through kabuto... i think he is the spy that deidara planted on orochimaru and there are also rumors that orochimaru would kill this guy for being a traitor)

2. Sasuke would return to Konoha after killing his brother (if possible)

3. Sasuke would return to Konoha by force

Questions and/or theories:

1. If Sasuke does not want to kill Naruto, how would he be able to attain the Mangekyou Sharingan? Like what Kakashi had, he already attained it... but how? Maybe there are some other ways to attain it... I think there was a part in the manga where Sasuke said that he would attain it in his own way... and that way was by gaining power from orochimaru...

Maybe he won't obtain the Mangekyou. I think he will defeat Itachi in another way. Or in the later chapters of the manga it will be explained how to obtain the Mangekyou. This is just what I think.

Reason: In the manga, we see that Sasuke, Naruto, and Sakura are represented (not sure if that's thae right word) by animals as follows:

Naruto: frog

Sakura: snail

Sasuke: snake

We see this connection with three other characters: Jiraiya, Tsunade, and Orochimaru (respectively). These three, like Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura, were all once on a team before they went their separate ways.

Each of these characters took under their wing an apprentice. And these apprentices carry at least one similar trait between themselves and their masters:

Naruto and Jiraiya: pervertedness

Sakura and Tsunade: freakishly strong punches

Sasuke and Orochimaru: the willingness to kill

Since Orochimaru is a bad guy, I concluded that Sasuke would become the new bad guy.

1. Naruto will make Sasuke come back to Konoha

2. He will be MORE powerful!

3. As for killing Itachi? Nah, I don't think so coz Itachi is WAAY too powerful from Sasuke. I like Sasuke! But Itachi is really more powerful than him.

4. He will help Naruto defeat Orochimaru

CHARACTER TYPE:

He's a lonely boy actually. He live for avenging his clan's death to his brother and resurected his own clan. But since he was put into team 7, he CHANGES!! He learn the true meaning of life. He learn that he need someone to make him realized his life, to help him find his purpose of life, to guide him that power isn't everything.

TEMARI/ SASUKE PAIRING???!!!

Oh god....

*Faint*

The only reason that Itachi left his little brother alive was because Sasuke had the potential to rise above the weaklings of his clan. How is he going to react if Sasuke falls off this path? I'm guessing he'd either provide a few more 'incentives' to grow powerful, or just kill Sasuke, like he did the rest of the weak Uchiha.

(My memory sucks but...) I thought the reason given in the manga was "so he didn't have to live with the guilt of killing the whole clan".

REALISTICALLY, of course, after you've killed _that_ many, one more probably wouldn't matter. Loosely putting it. I believe he was left alive because Kishimoto thought it would be cool if he were an avenger (again, loosely putting it). Nice and dark. *laughs*

"...in order to reach the height of my capacity... I've lost all hope for this pathetic clan."

Chapter 224:

"The brother you wanted to spend time with has done this... to ascertain your "capacity"."

"...I became your companion to see if that potential lies hidden."

"You continued wanting to surpass me. Because of that, I will let you live... for my sake."

Is there other information elsewhere that supports your argument?

*flushes darkly* Actually, since that line isn't where I thought it was, no. Although I distinctly remember reading that somewhere (which I _think_ was credable), I honestly can't be bothered tracking though all my Naruto to find it.

It's been so long, I don't even remember the circumstances those lines appeared in the manga. My memory's worse than I thought...

Predictions: 1.Sasuke will probally have sense beaten into him by Sakura and Naruto.

2. The pairing will probally be Sasuke/Sakura, since the hints are everywhere... (and Naruto/Hinata!)

3. Sasuke will not be able to kill Itachi (...just a feeling that even if he does get strong enough, will he be able to make the final strike?) and maybe we'll find out another reason for the Uchiha massacre...

Character type: Oh, definately the angsty, cold bastard of the series. (every single series needs one...). It's not am insult, but he'll need to get rid of some of the problems he restrains in himself.

Questions: Why did Itachi kill off the entire Uchiha clan, and leave Sasuke alive? There must be more than just "to test my strength".

Final: Sasuke is really this person who longs for revenge, but doesn't think past that. Anything for power, but what about after he finishes his goal? He doesn't want friends, because they'll only get in the way, but in a way he still wants them, because he misses his family. Does that make any sense?

1. Sasuke will get beat up by Naruto and Sakura.

2. Then he goes back to Konoha and resume his training without the use of a useless curse seal.

3. Orochimaru will die.

4. Sasuke wont get his revenge because there are much more to the Uchiha massacre then what it seams.

Pairing: SasuSaku...although it seams like NaruSaku have a high chance right now. I just have a feeling that the NaruSaku hints are merely friendship love. Maybe NaruHina, there's an entire section of the fillers based on that. Same goes for SasuSaku.

Theories: Check here for my theory about the Uchiha Massacre... too lazy to explain it again. And because I dont know how to put the link on this forum (more like I can find the c2 Id) you guys just have to copy and paste. Oh by the way. Itachi fan girls. You should really visit this( ice illuser - you should too). It talks about the Uchiha massacre, well erm. my theory of it and Yuugi-chan's:

http://www.fanfiction.net/fr/757930/1106/31529/1/

Final: Sasuke is a blinded child that needs light. And some one will have to open his eyes for him. So there fore in conclusion. shir0-chan says that Sasuke will end up freed of his angsty life and live a happily ever after. Well that's what I hope will happen~

Shiro's theory~ (again)

Reasons behind the Uchiha Massacre. I managed to sumarized it. XD, this is focused more at Itachi. But heck, Sasuke is related.

1. Itachi was pressured by his family into being their 'perfect genious'

2. Shortly before the mess, he learned of the family secret. And that was what triggered the switch.

3. He didnt kill Sasuke because Sasuke was the only person who saw him as 'Itachi' and not the 'perfect genious'.

4. Itachi wanted Sasuke to become strong, by himself. But too bad Sasuke went to Oro~ (couldnt be bothered spelling his name).

Please dont kill me for walking off the topic XD

And I'm sure Itachi have his reasons for killing the family. As for the reason, I dont know, we'll know when its time. He never admited that he killed the whole family. I realized that, unless if I missed something. As for Sasuke. Well he is as angsty as he can get right now. Fehh~ I'll laugh if he turns even more angsty. Naruto has wayyyyy too many plot holes. I'm gona fall into one someday. Or maybe I'm already living in one. _

Fehh...this is getting wilder by the seconds...*shiro jumps around*

Naturally, Naruto and gang will be there. Then of course, they'll be some sort of twist like, Sasuke's not so dominated as Orochimaru thinks he is. And thus, Naruto will believe there is still hope in saving Sasuke. Hopefully, Itachi gets killed somewhere along the line.

It's like saying that Sasuke will be the one to kill/beat Itachi, but for some unknown reason, some other guy like Naruto was the one to kill Itachi. They tell us what events might happen in the future, hinting it as if they're foreshadowing it. Fans will believe this and expect it in the future. If the future does not meet their expectations then it is a let down for them.

It just seems wrong IMO to make an unnecessary plot twist. Just imagine if they kept hinting that Sakura will end up with Naruto for 100 chapters, but in the end, it never happens. It's more of them screwing you over rather than it being a shock because you were so sure it would happen.

Sasuke killing Itachi is more climactic than Naruto or anyone else killing Itachi.

If they build up on something for a -long- time, they might as well stick with it until the resolution rather than letting all that hype/build-up die.

Also, the villain is always at his/her strongest before their death. It's a very common cliche in all animes and games. I'm pretty sure most people would rather have a tough villain rather than an easy one. That way, there will be a struggle. It would be very anticlimactic if Orochimaru died in 1 hit, without even putting up a fight. Or if the Sound 5 never transformed and Shika's team beat them without taking too much injury.

Whatever the objective of the villain is, they usually succeed, only to have the protagonist beat them in the end. That's just as common as the villain always becoming super strong only to lose to the hero in the end. The worst always happens and the hero somehow still wins.

Akatsuki saving people? I don't know if getting a demon forcefully (and painfully) extracted from you is called saving. I absolutely believe Sasu/Saku won't happen at all.

What will Sasuke do in Konoha? Challenge Neji and Lee to fights to see if they've become stronger since the last time they met. Lee and Neji were on Sasuke's lists of guys stronger than him from the Chuunin exam. He's never seen Neji fight, he's probably interested.

To Sasuke, Naruto became too strong in a short amount of time. While Sasuke has his new Chidori, Naruto gains the summoning technique, Rasengan, and he beat Gaara and that guy in 106 (whom Sasuke could not defeat). To top it off, Itachi has more interest in Naruto while he gives Sasuke zero interest.

Killing Orochimaru isn't something Sasuke would do... say tomorrow. Sasuke would try fighting Itachi first on his own and when that fails return to Orochimaru... then he fights Orochimaru. If he's unable to beat him, he surrenders his body (or if he believes that joining with Orochimaru actually gives him the advantage over his brother). Of course, in this fight who should show up but Naruto, Jiraiya and Sakura - maybe Sai and Kakashi too.

Sasuke would want to fight a strong Naruto - he only wants to fight strong opponents and beat them to prove he's stronger. Of course Sasuke is angry that Kakashi taught him a double sided technique like Chidori while Naruto got the superior Rasengan. When Sasuke faught Lee he didn't plan on running away because Lee was superior, he planned on fighting him again. I don't see why he wouldn't try again.

Of course if Sasuke beats Itachi, Naruto could ask him to return to Konoha. He might do it as he has nothing left to do but attempt to revive his clan. While he's at it, he might as well take the Chuunin exam with Naruto.

I just don't think the transfer is actually going to happen and the reason that it isn't going to happen could be that Sasuke doesn't think its benificial to his cause anymore. He might see Orochimaru get handled by Jiraiya or Naruto or Itachi. Heck, Itachi might kill Orochimaru before the sannin can transfer into Sasuke. Sasuke could see Itachi's strength and realize he's still not even close and has to do more.

1) I just have this really really strong feeling that Itachi still cares for his brother. I think Itachi will die by either protecting Sasuke or sasuke killing him.

2) Akatsuki will acompilish their goal and gain that power

3) A war will brake out between the Akatsuki, Orochimaru, and the rest of the countrys.

4) Sakura will die

5) Sasuke will try to kill Orochimaru but in the process Orochimaru takes his body but they take out Orochimaru's spirit from Sasuke's body (Naruto willl...) And in turn killing Naruto but Sakura and Sasuke will end up together and everything will be happy.

Reason for last prediction: Orochimaru said something about the person who he took the body from sleeping inside of him. I think the person really isn't dead but only their spirit is locked inside their body sleeping for the rest of their life. I think that if Orochimaru's spirit is taken out of the body then the person who's body was stolen will regain control.

Ending pairings: SasuSaku, (you know it will happen...) NaruHina, NejiXtenten, and either shikamaruXIno or ShikamaruXTamari

And I wish Sasuke WOULD end up with Sakura... but I seriously doubt it. The IC SasuSaku fanfics I've read end tragically and not together, though they both acknowledge their love for one another.

And Naruto won't die, in my opinion. He's the whole basis of the manga and throughout the story, he always gets in near-death situations and never dies. He simply refuses to die, he never gives up. If he dies, then it's by protecting Konoha as the Rokudaime.

you are right for 1st pt. ,for the 5th pt. orochimaru is ripped out of sasuke by itachi ,the rest we shall see......

there's no future now for sasuke. he, himself is a traitor now at the moment....he's main goal now together with his team (hebi by the way) is to crash down konoha once and for all.

there's no way that team seven will be able to pursuade him to change his mind.

after defeating his brother, realizations dawned to him that his brother was actually not a bad guy. in fact, itachi was just protecting him. he was a good actor by the way.

i hate to say this but sasusaku pairing is beoming a fantasy. and naruto and sakura's dream of reuniting their team is a very impossible dream to achieve now.

although after his clan's death, i wasn't able to see him cry until the time when he found out the truth about the real itachi. his brother sacrificed everything even his reputation so as for sasuke to be called a hero of konoha.
