EDIT: Translation on MangaHelpers
Not much dialogue at all.
Pretty cool chapter. Hopefully we'll see a translation soon.

good chapter. very few words lol
so this one is the double issue which means we won't get a chapter next week right?
If this is really the end for Itachi, this is going to be the lamest akatsuki death ever.
Oh Please, Itachi won't die that easily. So what all the epic build up would be for a battle that lasted what about 2 minutes and didn't involve MS whatsoever. This is just more teaser.
It was damn good though during the beginning all that was going through my head was, yes Itachi is putting Sasuke in his place. I still don't think Sasuke is ready though but he has shown alot of new tricks since we last saw him, its really impressive.
Begs the question would Naruto even stand a chance against Sasuke in a battle, last time he put on a good show but that was all it was a show. He couldn't beat Sasuke then and I don't think he would even be able to land a finger on him now but I'm sure we'll get to talk about that later.
Dreaming impossible dreams.
Sapphire is awesome!
I don't think we are going to see an extended fight here. Like Abdula said, this is just a teaser.
I believe Itachi is simply testing Sasuke to see how strong he has become, to see if he is ready to learn the truth about the Uchiha clan and defeat Madara. Hopefully Itachi will reveal some stuff to Sasuke within the next few chapters.

Hard to follow at first, but it's good stuff nonetheless.
Begs me to start a poll, in fact...

Itachi has a triple-layer genjutsu going, I just know it.
Naruto 384 Scanslation by Rydan
Triple Layer Genjutsu seems lame, but having such a major fight end so abruptly wouldn't really be in step with the rest of the series so something will have to happen. Hopefully Itachi will be at least somewhat fazed but I doubt he's going to be dead next chapter.
Sasuke is pracitcally begging for a photoshop edit that'll make him ask something like
"who will be the next american idol?"
seriously, he's begging for it.
also, I bet the anime version is going to ruin this fight (as if it wasn't stupid enough) by having Itachi crows call Sasuke stupid (the whole cliche' crow "ahou" sound effect), though, it has the potentiel to become a classic.
Nitpicking:
is Sasuke's chidori shokwave really that short range (about 2 meters) or is Sasuke Faster than his own shockwave?
also, Itachi should wear his ring on his RIGHT hand (pages: 2,12,13,15) but it moves over to the LEFT hand in page six. what gives?
yes, I was really looking for something bad to say
If Itachi turns out to be just messing with Sasuke, he might as well put the ring on his penis and tell Sasuke to bend over.

Rydan, obviously.Originally Posted by iMUSTbeTHEdevil
Its legit though, if thats what you are wondering.
Has to be, Itachi is a master at genjutsu. Theres just no way he'll die because of one. On that fact both fighters have mastered their sharingan (excluding mangekyo) so how are they catching each other in genjutsu? I thought that one of the sharingan's powers was to see through it?Originally Posted by darkmetal505
Yeah Itachi is definetely not finished. If he is the show went from awesome to absolute shit. Oh and main as well say right off the bat that Sasuke is the strongest in the show (if he killed Itachi). Oro killed in like 2 chapters, Itachi in one. It would just be ridiculous.
I think it's more likely and obvious that Itachi isn't finished. He is a genius and probably knew Sasuke would adapt to their previous and therefore adapted to that. Hopefully we get to hear Sasuke's question and Itachi's answer though, and hopefully some explanation from Itachi.

Yeah there is no way Itachi is dead. I think this time he will probably play dead for longer, just to hear Sasuke's question. Once he is done and even given the answer, he will show Sasuke that he is still a little punk.
As for the question, I think its going to be something along the lines of "Why did you really do it, or did you not care me/Uchiha at all to do something like this or do you regret doing what you have done".
I think itachi is working his genjetsu and sasuke just isn't focused enough to see through it.
I agree with people that this chapter is just a teaser...there is no way Itachi could die this early and suddenly. Well Mangekyou might not be the ultimate finish move for either of these Uchihas because of what Itachi said last time, something about having a sharingan can resist verses Mangekyou. I know that Kakashi couldn't handle MS with his sharingan but I'm led to believe that happened because Kakashi wasn't of Uchiha blood. And we don't even know if Sasuke acquired the Mangekyou yet...
i'm also enjoying Sasuke's constant use of snake-like jutsus to support his main jutsus...can totally see the Orochimaru's training influence on him
i just pray that the next chapter is a continuation of this fight, rather than frog goes back to Konoha type of thing...i can't stand the tease from this chapter
no, itachi said, its true that the sharingan can resist the effects of sharingan, then he mangekyou'ed and zapped him.
-----------------
I'm actually hoping for the opposite. We KNOW that Itachi is not dead, anyone who thinks he's dead is a damn fool and should stop reading the manga now. We can also be pretty sure that we won't see a climax to "Itachi vs Sasuke" here.Originally Posted by February
I'm not really interested in just seeing "cool action"; if this fight is just a teaser with no answered questions, then I would rather skip it and move on to something that progresses the story.
