Wow, did I NOT give a shit about Itachi´s explanation. Blabla eye jutsu blabla Uchiha blabla bla". I´d really like to see a non-Uchiha defeat someone who uses Izanagi, because this makes it sound as if Izanagi makes you invincible.

Also, I had hoped that the chapter would end with Kabuto unexpectedly to snap out of the loop. Guess that would have been too awesome :/ At least Kishimoto pretty much made sure to leave an option for Kabuto´s return. Just hope he doesn´t turn into some silly good guy now.
