Sasuke and torture is me trying to verbalize something that lurks around the edges of Naruto, but never gets explicitly dealt with because the manga is a boys' adventure story and therefore can't afford to look squarely at the realities of a ninja society.
Well. It's also just Sasuke being massively screwed up, but this is Sasuke, so that sort of goes without saying, right?
Faith is like a diamond -- hard as nails, most of the time, but kind of fragile if you hit exactly the right points. I figure torture is one of those points.
