Sometimes I get too tired of naruto (anime), it’s like “ did you want a powerful female character in the series?, I’ll give her the powers and the most fucking good story, but she’ll only last one chapter and the other chapters we’ll put her as an extra that needs to be saved by the main character”.
That’s what I get for having a secondary character as a favorite.
Yes, Chapter 9 is showing us a lot about Ogami Itto’s past. Here, we see that he gave a very young Daigoro the chance to choose whether he would join his father (choosing the blade), or he would join his dead mother (choosing the temari, or 手毬) – meaning that Itto would slay his son.
