Oooh, I get the feeling the white snake will take over either one of the body. The question is which one?
Also, for some reason, I like the way the battle ended. To me, it seems like Itachi is trying to tell Sasuke something only an Uchiha will understand yet he doesn't want to use words. Maybe, Itachi is aware that Zetsu is around.
Did they actually state that Itachi was out of chakra? I only remember Itachi saying Sasuke wasQuote:

Didn't like this.
It diminishes the sense of accomplishment Sasuke would have gotten from killing Itachi outright, and he had no other objective. I would feel like total shit. I would have been happier if Sasuke had killed Itachi but then died of his wounds shortly after.
When Itachi was first introduced and we learned what he'd done, we didn't understand his motives. Now, here at what appears to be the end, we don't understand his motives. We might never get closure on this, but a dumber outcome would be the discovery of some kind of suicide note written by Itachi. Even worse would be a monologue from Sasuke about "Now I understand." I think a letter to Sasuke would suuuuuuck and would be totally out of character for Itachi.
To be honest it's a bit hard to know exactly what is in Itachis character anymore... Seeing as everyone has been speculating his intentions all along without a real answer.
I fear a Oro revival from the snake =[
And having read the chapter, seeing him collapse isn't exactly any kind of surprise.
Hahahah...
Maybe the EMS has the abiltiy to controll other Sharingans, lol.
Itachi, who knew this, bravely fought the evil thing in his mind, to test Sasuke so he can avenge he and his family. Thus with the on and on that HES evil making Sasuke putting more effort in it.
If Madara could controll the Kuyuubi, why not randomly controll anything else?
I agree Sasuke certainly can't have any sense of vindication after this victory much like his victories against Deidara and Oro.Quote:

This explanation better be serious because for such an epic battle that has been setup since the beginning of the series this is an utter disappointment.
Well, there's no in way in hell I'd be expecting Sasuke to have a decisive victory over Itachi. No way. This is as indicisive as it can get without there being no winner. What's bothering me here also, is that Sasuke has back to back victories over two akatsuki's, and in one day's bed time, he'll be up and running again at full force. These fights cost him next to nothing in the long run. And also, while there might be some doubt as to Itachi's motives, yet again, it just might be that, he knew he was dying and had lost, and that touch to the forehead is his way of telling Sasuke that he's proud of him. We still need some explanation as to just what killed him though.
Did Itachi say something to Sasuke before he poked him in the head? (something we won't find out till later obviously).

Wonder what it was (if he said something).
If Oro returns from the snake then the story officially sucks. I mean come on! There has to be a limit to the number of times that guy can be resurrected.... if he is so damn tough to kill he might as well forget about the Sharingan and keep jumping from one "normal" body to another, until he learns all the jutsus he wants. Its not as if though somone is going to be able to stop him or anything is it?
that's it? Sasuke will now cut Itachi's head off and make a necklace out of it or sth? head poke was a nice thing but it's hardly fit as Itachi's ending...:S
Sasuke didn't even do jack shit with Susanou, it just got mysteriously owned with no reason at all, just like all the other MS jutsus...
So...
Tsukuyomi gives you a small dimension where you control EVERYTHING but it can be broken by emo sharinganer.
Amaterasu is an unavoidable attack that can be, in fact, avoided.
Susanou is basically invincible but makes you lose consciousness in a crucial moment :D
MS sucks, Itachi didn't want EMS cause he feared it would suck even more, he just wanted Sasuke's eye to compensate for the MS usage :p
hmm wait a minute... if tsukuyomi, amaterasu, and susanou do that... then what the hell does kakashi have?
I bet each mangekyou has different techniques that are a result of the users personalities or something.
I bet Oro will sneak into Itachi's or Sasukes body whilst they're still in a vulnerable state. Perhaps and here's hoping that Zetsu will prevent that from happening.
The way the chapter ended, "Sasuke's Victory?" with a question mark suggest to me it might not be over. But if it is, and Itachi is in fact done and dusted, then I think this is the best possible outcome. Itachi lumbering towards Sasuke who is utterly defenseless with a terrified look on his face, only for Itachi to collapse with no Sasuke assistance. If Itachi has to go, I like this way.
I wouldn't have been happy if it were roles reversed.
Aww fuck! whos going to kill sasuke now?
Come on! just kill sasuke already! geez.
Ohhh btw.. does Itachi did the same thing he used to do to sasuke when he was a little kid? I mean poke his forehead.
I sense another twist!
How's this for a twist. That poke is a coded message for Sasuke to realise that Itachi has been acting all along. Upon this realisation, Sasuke then proceeds to fight the snake/what remains of Oro to save Itachi.
If the poke means anything, it's that Itachi still thinks Sasuke is weak. The poke was always a symbol for plucking out Sasuke's eyes once Sasuke is strong enough and has the Magnekyou Sharingan. Yes, this makes those early chapters more fucked up.Quote:
