End of Itachi?

Itachi and Sasuke

Itachi, the favourite of many is fighting his last battle with everything he has. Itachi became the favourite of everyone for his notoriety after massacring the clan. His manner of speech and his abilities are unprecedented in the Narutoverse :) . This precocious prodigy activated sharingan at the age of 8. More about him can be read from wikipedia. He does things in a cool manner which inspires awe. Sasuke, his brother bred by hatred has become so strong enough to face Itachi in a face-to-face combat that forced Itachi to use Ametarasu. Can you believe that Sasuke suppressed Itachi’s Tsukoyumi with bare sharingan? I wonder about the potential of Sasuke’s MS if he activates one. Right now(chapter 310) Sasuke needs to deal with Ametarasu inorder to claim Itachi. Itachi’s defeat is near for the following reasons:

Kishi showed a previous confrontation between Itachi and Sasuke where Sasuke lost pathetically.There is no point in repeating the same fate. Moreover Sasuke has dealt with two akatsuki members – orochimaru and deidara – since then. Though Orochimaru and Deidara are nothing compared to Itachi as Itachi made a mincemeat of them in separate instances, it showcases Sasuke’s growth. That growth will not make much sense if Sasuke is killed by Itachi now. Moreover, the manga is revolving around Sasuke and Naruto since its inception. I think that Sasuke will defeat Itachi and he will take his eyes to face Madara. Sounds tangible, ain’t it?

Brighter side of orkutting!

As I am done with all my projects, I have plenty of free time at hand. I have decided to invest the free time on orkut to find interesting results. I went on sending friend requests to every female profile I came across till orkut refrained me with a “adding friends is disabled” caution. I had interesting conversations with the ones who accepted my request. Since every person is unique and diverse in their own way, their interests hobbies are equally diverse. One has taught me loads about finance and stock trading. Another gave me truck loads of advice about girls. Another about French language. The knowledge i have gained is extensive. It is always fun talking to people with varying intellect. Some sound like kids. Some of them are so mature that they tire and awe me with their ideals and analysis. Some demand an apology for every offense they sense. Loads of Henry David Thoreau’s quotes and discussion on that. Did I tell you that I did my economics assignment with the help of Orkut? Interacting with all these diverse characters at the same time sure is an interesting experience that i will cherish.

No discussion can be neutral without mentioning the cons. In my female pursuit, I have encountered a couple of disturbing personalities as well. And the coincidence is that they belong to the age group of 15-16 and they use internet round the clock. Their albums are full of pictures with suicidal tendencies. Looks like uncontrolled Internet usage at early ages is bearing its fruits.  Internet is a double edged sword and it should be dealt with care. It exemplifies the classic adage: Knowledge without wisdom is dangerous. A technology in its rudimentary stage should be viewed skeptically as its potential dangers are yet to be unveiled and sufficient guidelines should be laid before throwing it out in the open. Hope someone figures out something to get around this problem.
