The last thing I read was the latest chapter of my favorite manga, Naruto. In this chapter, our hero Naruto and his arch rival, Sasuke are going at it in a no-holds-barred death match. The 2 are fighting to gain control over the way the world is going to be ruled in the future. After using all of their energy up in the previous chapter, the 2 are completely drained and are fighting on the last reserves in their bodies, engaged in brutal hand to hand combat. The 2 are visibly drained, as they fail to execute their signature techniques due to a lack of energy. The 2 come together and attempt to punch each other, but are so weak that they deliver no more than a light tap to each other's bodies, Naruto tapping Sasuke's head and Sasuke tapping Naruto's stomach. They sit down in this position, unable to move and right as Naruto's demon entity attempts to lend him some energy, Sasuke senses it and steals the energy right out of Naruto's body using the special powers his eyes lend him. Re-energized, Sasuke gets up and prepares his signature attack while a weak Naruto remains vulnerably on the ground. As Sasuke prepares to strike, he says coldly "With this, I can finally be alone. See you, my only friend!!!" and the chapter ends.
This passage had me very excited and ready to see the next chapter. It had great action and hand to hand combat, suspense, and an interesting twist at the end. I believe that the author's purpose of writing this chapter was to show the desperation between the 2 boys as they fight to gain control of the world. I also noticed slight moments of chronological organization by way of flashbacks here and there throughout the chapter.
