I have always been a fan of these emotional chapters, and this is no exception. It was really good finally seeing the full picture of what really happened during (and just before) the Uchiha massacre. It once again helped to portray Sarutobi as a good guy and the most reasonable of all the Konoha higher ups, and it also made Danzo once again seem like the villain.
It also showed a bit more of Shisui too which is always a good thing, and to be honest I felt really bad for Itachi while reading the chapter. For the longest time most sympathy has gone towards Sasuke for all the crap he has been through, but this week also showed just how much Itachi had to suffer as well and just how much it hurt and how much he regretted having to do such horrible things.
Kishimoto also gave fans what they wanted, and that is a true message from Itachi to Sasuke about how he will love him no matter what happens. This is the chance for Kishi to change Sasuke if he wants, and I know a lot of people would be happy to see that happen. I personally still hope that he holds a grudge against the two Konoha elders who, along with Danzo, were behind the massacre and who were basically undermining Sarutobi's wishes. They both deserve to die as Danzo did in all honesty, as for them to both continue living seems like a bit of a slap in the face considering the roles they played in things.
But yeah, the chapter was brilliant. It shed some light on how things really went down at the massacre, and the last panel (the pic above) and the one with Itachi crying about having to kill his own parents (who understood why he was doing it, which to be honest I thought was a wonderful thing for Kishi to add) especially were very sad and emotional.
Overall this was a very emotional chapter and a brilliant one at that. If I have one gripe, it's that it does look like Madara will be gone for good now Edo Tensei is over, but other than that, this was a brilliant chapter and one of Kishimotos' best in a while.
