You know I was reading Hunter x Hunter and remembering how Naruto used to be based off it, and I really wish they had powered up sasuke the way they powered up Kurapika, through setting up vows and limitations, like Kurapika who only uses certain abilities on the Phantom Troupe, sasuke would power up by making a vow "only to gain so in so power against Itachi and his allies (the akatsuki)" and the limatation of death
this way we would be spared the Uchiha power ups that were needed in order to make sasuke as strong as someone who can control the nine tailed fox
I mean he already ripped off enough stuff why not just a bit more and save us The Uchiha power-up crap fest he's given us now
