When they revealed Sasuke and Itachi's past connection to the cat village, my jaw dropped a little; I seriously didn't see that coming from two characters I usually associate with tragedy and intense drama. It was a weirdly wholesome detail that actually made me understand their relationship a tiny bit more, even if it was just for this filler arc.

Sasuke, seriously? Even with the whole ridiculous ninja cat thing going on, I wasn't surprised he still stubbornly pushed Naruto away over a paw print. It just makes me frustrated thinking about how deep that "I can't accept help" complex runs with him, like he's gotta prove his strength by doing everything alone.

I seriously cracked up seeing Sasuke in those silly ears, it was such a refreshing surprise after watching him brood and be all angsty for so long. For a moment there, I almost forgot he's usually so intense and focused on revenge.
