poor sasuke...
Good chapter. I think the eye will be lost but he will continue fighting. I dont think he will care too much about his eye if he can kill itachi. Anyways i think sasuke using those shuriken was great. It makes that trip to the uchiha weapons base totally worth it instead of being some dumb plot device to buy more time for the story. Also im glad he threw them all because that shows how great itachi's skills are even with that blurred vison that he showed last chapter.
All in all i hope this fight is done so we can FINALLY see suigetsu fight!!!! He is awsome i mean look at that those menacing teeth! He's crazy! he's like the small asian guy on the simpsons who you know is going to do something cool when you look away or least expect it
With any number of other characters that would be correct. But, Sasuke is an Uchiha, this isn't just an eye we are talking about, we are talking about sharingan. He had better care if he loses an eye.Originally Posted by toonice714
Yeah, that's one thing I don't quite understand about this either. Itachi has basically already told Sasuke during this fight to come back when he has MS. But then he tries to take his eyes anyway.Originally Posted by poopdeville
So now it seems like Itachi doesn't need for Sasuke to have MS in order to take his eyes? If that's the case then why the hell did Itachi wait so long to take his eyes; why didn't he just take them years ago?

Actually... I'm not 100% sure it won't happen. Follow me on this strange land called 'my brain'.Originally Posted by animus
If Sasuke loses his eye, what if he happened to get another one? Say... from Kakashi? Kakashi would say something glorified like he was giving it back to the Uchiha clan, either on his deathbed or not, and that would be the 'big event' they were talking about. Of course, that would mean Sasuke would have to turn good, or at least go back to Konoha, and Naruto will be all happy and crap again.
Lol that was a pretty fast chapter. I'm not sure how I feel about the amount of Shuriken spamming that went on though. Why can't the good ninja figure out that other good ninja don't get hit by shuriken? Cool use of Oro powers though
Sasuke will pull something out of his ass and escape of course, hopefully it won't be a Curse Transformation, but he does seem to have integrated that into his fighting style somewhat so I won't rule it out.
I can just picture how that shuriken spam is going to be animated.... I don't even want to see it.
But back to the chapter, if this is the end, then this was a pretty quick fight. I could never really interpret everything that was going on in a manga. What did Itachi do to Sasuke? It looked like he just threw him into the wall or something.
edit: Oh I think Itachi used some MS jutsu.
Orochimaru isn't dead, he's going to pop out!!! I just know it!!!
On the last page, it could be either Sasuke or Itachi screaming "gwaaaah". Again, i can't interpret that last frame. All I see is the Uchiha symbol and a tomoe.

Anyone else bothered by the fact Sasuke just took on Deidara at most a day before this unless my timetable is completely off.and was critically injured in that fight with his curse seal level 2 wing being removed from his body and all and yet now we are suppose to believe he is capable of taking on Itachi one on one? I mean seriously not even Naruto has healing powers of that level and while Orochimaru did have abilities of that sort I don't believe them to be teachable to Sasuke it just seems kind of absurd to me.
I honestly hope Itachi plucks out his eye or eye's in this fight.I mean seriously he's suppose to be one of the top ninja's period at this point and I just can't see Sasuke winning this one in his current state.
I liked this chapter; it had eye popping action.

I think Sasuke losing one eye would be a satisfactory scenario. Itachi gets a powerup of some kind at least, and Sasuke lives on in a way that he can still fight to continue the story.
When Sasuke had his fight with Oro, its assumed that he received some of Oro's powers as well, which includes incredible regeneration ability. Its not something Oro taught to Sasuke. This is confirmed in the past few chapters when Sasuke asks his team to go after a rest at the inn, and he exclaims something in the lines of how incredible Oro's regeneration ability is.Originally Posted by DDBen
If what I assume is correct, then 1 day is plenty of time for Oro's regeneration powers to work competely. After all, Orochimaru was the most regenerative character in the entire series, so its not hard to believe
I certainly hope not, I'll cry if they ruin any good fights that bad.Originally Posted by ¥»»ÄzäzëL««¥

im hoping, since it's a huge fight compared to most others, they'll take a little longer with it. i dont mind waiting a little longer for the release if it means higher quality in the animationOriginally Posted by Sapphire
Cool chapter. Pretty much anything could happen at this point; itachi could take sasuke's eye, that could be itachi screaming, there could be interference from someone (including orochimaru or kabuto), or some crazy unknown occurrence.
Either way, I think whatever happens will be pretty interesting.
My gut is telling me that it is Itachi screaming at the end though.
I'm going to just throw a crazy theory out there for the hell of it even though I know its not going to happen. Here goes:
Itachi takes Sasuke's left eye, then Sasuke manages to escape with the right eye still intact. Realizing he is no match for Itachi and, now with one eye, never will be, he makes his way back to Konoha and seeks out Kakashi. Sasuke then removes his own eye and gives it to Kakashi, charging him with the task of doing what Sasuke could not, killing Itachi. A now blind Sasuke then disappears from the story only to emerge years later at the scene of battle between Kakashi and Itachi. Sasuke has spent his time in exile training his senses to become a skilled, blind, shinobi. He assists Kakashi in battling Itachi and delivers the final blow. Sasuke then claims Itachi's eyes for his own and returns to Konoha to resurrect the Uchiha clan with some foxy, yet to be introduced, girly ninja.
Woot, that was nice. I'm really not looking forward to seeing how they would animate the shuriken spamming either especially considering what they did in the last episode.
If Itachi is going to take Sasuke's eyes it isn't going to be one. Why would you take one when you could have both and all the talk since Akatsuki was introduced was about his eyes not an eye.
I knew Sasuke wasn't ready to take on Itachi but still their battle was great, Genjutsu and everything. Everything we've seen of Sasuke since he was reintroduced has just been awesome but as both Oro and Itachi said his jutsu's just aren't on their level yet.
All things considered I don't see how he could possibly beat MS without having it himself, if he had a different fighting style I would say he had a chance but his style is similar to Itachi's and in that case it comes down to who has superior techniques.
Its funny that since Jiraiya we haven't seen Itachi struggle in the least in a single battle he's had, it could be argued that he wasn't even struggling in that battle either. To this point we still don't have anyway of really judging his strength..

Yes Naruto is able to heal that quickly, he heals from damage after one night of sleep and if you noticed what Sasuke did after his battle with Deidara was sleep. Oro didn't teach Sasuke that ability he got it from absorbing him and Sasuke mentioned before how his healing was accelerated since he absorbed Oro. So I'm perfectly willing to accept it and since your argument is based on time and we have no way to calculate time then yeah I would say your time table is completely off. Plus didn't Karin treat his injuries as well.

Dreaming impossible dreams.
Sapphire is awesome!
I think that it is just an illusion, either that or you are going to see Sasuke bust out the MS, I could see that happening!
assertnfailure (7:40:03 PM): dude....your posts are a bunch of nonsense
too fast, too easy, hell of a teaser.
It must be the first time I really want next chapter NOW
nice action in this chapter. But you would think that Sasuke would primarily use something, hell anything else other than "endless shruinken barrage" against Itachi's speed, strength, agility, the speed of his seal formations, and genjustus. And then you have to consider his use of the MS.
Because of these factors, i agree that this is just some illusionary "what if " fighting scenario that they are going through (like two masters who gauge themselves before fighting, unable to make a move) before the actual real fighting begins.
And if this is the actual real fight, I hope and pray that Sasuke pulls off some next level-type whatever to get out of that position.
