Well he could definitely have them sealed in a jar on his person. (But the orochimaru? He would put those eyes right in his own head tbh)

[[ The reason I don’t see that happening (Sasuke storing them) is that Sasuke goes through a lot in a fairly short amount of time after he leaves that hideout. He meets Itachi, fights Kabuto, revives the Kage, joins the war, and the war is what kills the headcanon idea for me because Sasuke loses his pack fighting Naruto. He…doesn’t have anywhere to actually store any kind of weapon or jar, in fact I think the only time I saw a pack on him in Shippuden was the Itachi fight, when he’s pulling explosive kunai in a last ditch effort to beat Itachi.

And if he could lose his sword (THANKS KAGUYA), he’ll definitely lose a jar. The best, canon explanation using the idea that the eyes do exist somewhere is hoping that a jar was in a secure area of the destroyed hideout or a section of cells was spared harm when Sasuke leveled the place.

As for Orochimaru, I’m sure his lust for the Sharingan left the moment he realized he was immortal. The reason he wanted the Sharingan was its copying ability, which would help him learn many jutsu in as short amount of time as possible, knowing he was on a timer until the next body. With being immortal, there’s no reason for that. He can take his sweet time. ]]

also how could Itachi have known Shisui’s kotoamatsukami would take a whole decade to recharge? How did Shisui know, for that matter, since as far as shinden tells us it’s unlikely he ever got the chance to use it at all :O

[[ That too because it’s like, let’s pretend that Itachi used it shortly after Shisui died. That would mean it wouldn’t be available for re-use until Itachi was 23. Two years after his actual death. Sasuke would’ve been 18. Unless it’s slipped my mind Shisui didn’t tell him anything about how long it takes to recharge, which implies that Shisui didn’t know at all, either. But Shisui did know what his power did, which implies he’s used it before, and knows the cooldown?? Kind of convenient it’s available when the coup is reaching its boiling point if he’s used it before.

I’d try to use it to calculate his age but it’s pointless, there’s really no meta way to explain this, Kishi is silly and uses characters as narrators when he could just add neutral narration boxes to explain stuff to us without using another character as a puppet. ]]

wow the more i find out about naruto post-ending the more i’m shocked and confused about how things turned out???

[[ Don’t get me started I’ll write essays for days. I was perfectly fine with Itachi not being mentioned at all, I didn’t expect it to and it would’ve done nothing positive, but you know, here’s Naruto screaming about how Itachi helped and everyone’s just..”ok! gosh he was so nice!” meanwhile Sasuke gets barely pardoned. ok.

some friend you are, naruto. ]]
