THE GENERAL ALL-PURPOSE NARUTO THREAD

[Exar_Kun]

I think he had to receive some sort of training from Madara. I can't imagine he figured out how to use Tsukuyomi and Amaterasu all on his own and in such a short space of time. I agree that it probably wasn't the intensive training that Oro gave Sasuke but Itachi was at the same time a much more natural genius than Sasuke was.

But about Itachi abusing his eyes, that's the same damn thing Sasuke does too. While he has about ten Chidori variations he literally depends on Sharingan for everything he does. He simply isn't as prolific a genjutsu user as Itachi is.

the difference is itachi is going BLIND faster every time he does it , sasuke could abuse his sharingan all he wants , its not killing him.

My thoughts exactly. Look at how in the previous chapter itachi is holding his left eye after using tsu on sasuke. And that is why, amidst being a natural genius sasuke still has the advantage. Because he does not damage his body unless he "ABUSES" the stages. And at this point, it doesn't seem like he has to.

Its gonna get better. We all know it. Wait until w!n posts up the spoilers again. I don't think there will be much conversation.

[Exar_Kun]

...He's holding his left eye closed because he's about to use Amaterasu.
He did the same thing when he used it the first time.

Everyone seems to be giving the blindness thing too much credit. He is not going to go blind after a couple uses. I agree that he does show off his MS way too much, but using it on Sasuke is hardly wasteful. More like warranted.

[Crixx_Creww]

no both of yu missed the point of the holding the eye


when sasuke broke free of the tsukuyomi
itachi was holding his left eye

and when he was about to use amaterasu hes holding his right eye.

Because in their mythology

tsukiyomi and amaterasu represent the right and left eye of  kami

and susanoo the nose of kami

and itachi showing these simple actions, plays into alot of the fan suggestions on the internet forums.

pretty awesome

like itachi's constant use of crows, which represent the tengu in jap culture
tengu of course being the mythical spirits that ninjas decend from
itachi's awesometastacious

And I sayeth unto yee BROTHER that I shall LAYETH THE SMACKETH DOWN ON YOUR MONKEY @$$!!!!

「一瞬だ」「この○は天照と同じだ…絶対にかわすことは出来ない」
「さて…ご希望どおり再現しよう…」「アンタの死に様を…」
Just in an instant. this is equal to Amaterasu, definitely cannot be avoided.
Next, I'm gonna make you see your death again

[Crixx_Creww]

?? can you tell what it is sasuke did?

[W1nTry]

I gather that he managed to dodge the amaterasu somehow and in turn is about to use 'THAT JUTSU' to rain down lighting on itachi's @$$... that's my guess if the clouds suddenly surrounding the temple are anything to go by... and it seems likely since in that moment Oro stopped sasuke and he held his hand up in the air.. it's a lightning based jutsu on a frightening scale...

[W1nTry]

More SPOILER:

Zetsu: Unbelievable! He put out fire with fire! Simply focusing your sight on the target makes it burst into black flames! These won't extinguish until the target's been charred to a crisp - works even on fire itself!

Amaterasu erupts on Sasuke's wing.

Sasuke: Guaaah!

Zetsu: So Itachi wins after all! He's stopped Amaterasu. He's going after his eyes.

As Itachi attempts to touch Sasuke's collapsed body, it melts away. Orochimaru's kawarimi!

Sasuke: Just the moment I've been waiting for! (He activates the curse seal level 2).

Itachi puts his hands to his eye and coughs blood repeatedly.

Sasuke "Katon, Gouryuuka no jutsu!"

(Gouryuuka: Grand Dragon Fire)

Dragon shaped flames strike Itachi's right arm.

Both (Sasuke and Itachi) are now panting violently.

Zetsu: They both look exhausted. I'd say they're out of chakra.

Sasuke's curse seal disappears.

Sasuke: I guess this'll be my last jutsu.

Itachi: Drop the act - sharingan detects chakra, and I can tell you're out of it.

Itachi: You used Orochimaru's kawarimi no jutsu to dodge Amaterasu. It's quite effective, but uses up a great deal of chakra.

Zetsu: Oh, I see. Since Sasuke absorbed Orochimaru...

Sasuke: Yeah, I'm out of chakra, alright - all of it went into that last Katon...but you really think I'd come here to kill you, without doing anything beforehand? It's the same...just like Amaterasu...you can't dodge it. Now then, the moment you've been waiting for: my rendition of your death!

Sasuke finally defeats Itachi! Next issue: "The ace up his sleeve!"

That is supposedly the confirmed spoiler text for this week. There are pictures (low res webcam shots) that this was supposed to be taken from... enjoy!

[Crixx_Creww]

so sasuke may have started his "that" jutsu before he even began the fight, since he knew the location where the fight would take place??

hmm
id loveeeeeeeee to see that grand dragon fire, if its even badda lookin dan regular dragon fire then bawww

also, lol sasuke has no more wingz... that sucks
naruto should give up his damn tails now

[W1nTry]

As usual and back to normal crixx makes his retarded fanboy statements... Naruto losing his tail is like a lizard, he'd just grow one back cause its CHakra... we all know u made that comment cause you hating on Naruto :p

[Exar_Kun]

So if using Oro's technique takes so much chakra, Oro himself musta had one serious chakra pool as he was throwing it around like confetti even in his failing body.
Oro = teh awesome.

Yup, Oro was a DAN no two ways about it... just he was a pedo.. so minus chakra on him for dat...

[TrinireturnofGamez]

 Orochimaru was first in line for becoming fourth hokage till Sandaime realised he was a perverted maniac..
    Oro arguably has the largest supply of forbidden jutsu in the known ninja world , and enough chakra to buss them all as he sees fit . ....

   Itachi's Sharingan was the only reason why Oro wasn't his daddy... Take it away and he's nothing but a pretty boy as we see.

  The first hokage  could have defeated Madara using similar tactics to Sasuke...  Once you could avoid being hit by any of the Sharingan's jutsu , you can defeat an Uchiha .


This fight dissapointed me though , All the fear we had for itachi seems unfounded , Sasuke is unscathed and about to kill him!
   

[W1nTry]

I can't say that I am disappointed per say, Itachi is no longer in his prime, much in a similar way Orochomaru wasn't as well... in a sense the best battle we've seen Sasuke in to date was against Deidara. That being said, imho the fight with Pain against Jaraiya was one of the best fights i've seen in the naruverse to date and imho shows that Jaraiya as opposed to Oro had the right to claim the Hokage title (though he didn't). I am wondering now about a fight between Sasuke and Jariaya.. that may have been epic... Right now the series is going through its out with the old, in with the new. Kill off the old big names and bring in some new ones. Its the whole evolution and well there is also the 2nd time skip supposedly coming. The only thing disappointing about this fight so far is that Itachi's Mangekyou seems to have well.. only 2 jutsu... I would have expected dozens seeing as a normal sharingan allows the copy of techniques, then the evolution of that should be many more evolved jutsu.... ah well..

[Exar_Kun]

I think the funny thing is that for all the big talk Itachi has had surrounding him since his introduction, Deidara literally had Sasuke dead to rights if not for that snake bull****. And even then he woulda STILL be in snake world if Suigetsu didn't summon him out.

Deidara is really one of the baddest men it have once he take to the air.

[TrinireturnofGamez]

Well thats what shonen is about.. defeat your enemies and create some new ones.

Still  a point is to be made : Anyone besides sasuke would have caught hell due to Itachi's Genjutsu alone... Hence Deidera was no match for him,

But a genjutsu immune deidera would have waxed Itachi's @ss fairly easily... If sasuke didn't kill him he very well might have...

Heck , a Genjutsu immune Naruto , Sakura or Rock lee would have won...


I'm betting if the Byakugan protected against Tsukuyomi , Neji would have been able to take down itachi.


Itachi is alot like that other guy with the immortality jutsu.. He had one thing that made him unstoppable , and no reason to develop any other jutsu further.

... sounds like we need to revisit this arguament again
since suigetsu didnt save sasuke by summoning him out
sasuke as was argued, time spaced out of the explosion to save himself and THEN was summoned away.

and as far itachi's use of sharingan to copy jutsus, remember when sasuke fought kakashi
he was doing one hand jutsus and mixing them together to create multiple effects at once, thats really hard core.

i think we need to also be very clear that yes itachi wants to kill sasuke
but he doesnt want to blow him up or blow off his head or anything of the such as he needs his eyes to be intact.
So while sasuke just wants him dead, itachi needs him dead but yu know, mostly intact


and again, we have no idea what really happened with madara... as he is still around and the first is quite dead isnt he ..

and saying things like .if the byakugan could  have stopped amaterasu, is pointless because nothing can protect against it

deidara would have also found that out and end up blowing up himself for no reason either.
Heck itachi could have probably killed deidara with that mass kunai lobbing display we saw.

i doubt anyone except sasuke could have lived thru that madness

[TrinireturnofGamez]

true nobody BUT sasuke..

But i think its a bit shameful that sasuke is coming away from this relatively unscathed ... He'll just need a sandwich and a nap to recover unless itachi pulls something out of his @ss....

 
 

[W1nTry]

Actually I beg to differ, Jaraiya also had a damn good chance against much ANYONE including deidara and Itachi. But that's going off topic. Whilst Itachi does need sasuke's eyes, it would do him no good to DIE trying to save them, thus I think if push come to shove, Itachi will say fiah and get rid of his younger sibling if it comes to it, that being said, we cannot say Itachi is holding back cause even if he destroyed the entire replicant sasuke made using Oro's technique it wouldn't have taken much more out of him to do so. Itachi is going all out here, just face it that sasuke is doing better.
