argh! -_- Tabbed and hit enter. Oh well. Anyway. Yeah. The Be grateful bit, as I said, was implying that Kyuubi was doing MORE than just powering him up.
(the manga & anime versions of Sasuke's descent are really quite different. In the manga, Sasuke spends about a month in a COMA and then wakes up and goes off on a rampage to Orochimaru, (after the rooftop skirmish with Naruto). So he's just -reacting- out of bitterness and jealousy and having things slammed on him left and right.
In the anime? Sasuke's not reacting so much as ACTING, from having things build up left and right and just multiple things driving home that he's Not As Badass as he thought. There's festering resentment and it's less of him just storming off half-cocked as it is him CHOOSING to do this. He's going in eyes wide open, IMO, in the anime. I, personally, filler notwithstanding, like the way the anime's handling this. (but I like a lot of the manga. The Tsunade episodes right before Naruto pwns Kabuto remain some of the most heartwrenching stuff I've seen in it (I can't feel bad for Sasuke. I really can't. He's had these people trying to be his friend(whether worshipful like Ino/Sakura or what have you, like Naruto) and he craps over all of that. His closed-mindedness has crapped all over that. And he got almost everyone killed. So, no, I really can't feel sorry for him and I honestly want Naruto to administer a beatdown that makes what happened to Gaara look like NOTHING.
