This fight between Sasuke and Itachi is just not living up to the hype. If Itachi dies here and now to emo boy then I don't know if I'll continue reading the series.

we'll probably see "that jutsu", the one that Sasuke was gonna use in the Land Of the Grass arc. Orochimaru stopped him that time though.

Stupid chapter really. Amaterasu is supposed to be unavoidable yet Sasuke manages to avoid it using some stupid replacement technique.

Darkreaper70 said:
Ok. How about the fact that Sasuke was almost beaten by Deidara who is muuuuuuuuuuch weaker than Itachi. Care to explain how Sasuke barely managed to win against him when Deidara couldn't even hold his own against Itachi?

Read the chapter again, Amaterasu attacks at what the eye is focusing, if Itachi is focusing on the wrong target, that is what Amaterasu will attack.
Sasuke fooled Itachi, not Amaterasu!
Dont forget Itachi is partially blind!!!



And when did that happen, it happened well at the beggining of the creation of Akatsuki!
Do you really only expect Sasuke got more powerful, arent the other people alowed to train, just because we dont see it!!! Also, Itachi defeated Deidara with Ilusions, that is why Deidara tells Sasuke that he was prepared for it this time. Also dont forget Itachi is weaker now than he was before due to overuse of his eye jutsu's!


Anything else you wanna throw at me???

It was a great chapter, i loved reading it!!!

Wow are you stupid? Sasuke read what the Sharigan is really about so he knows what is what. >_> He knew how to counter Tsukiyomi because of this. >_> So why would he NOT know about Amaterasu?

So? Itachi is still not completely blind therefore he can still see. That won't affect his overall performance. >_> Don't make stupid assumptions.

I think it's almost to drop Naruto manga for me.

First, Masashi kills off Jiraiya, now he's gonna kill off Itachi.

I'm tired of people using the fights with Deidara for a comparison of strength between the two brothers. There's nothing to compare. The fights were entirely different.

Itachi and Deidara both fought on the ground, where Deidara was put into submission through the use of genjutsu. Itach was also likely aware of Deidara's fighting style at the time.

But, with Sasuke and Deidara, Deidara was up in the sky, while Sasuke is a close-to-mid-range fighter. Sasuke knew nothing of his enemy, and had to use trial and error to learn about Deidara's abilities and limits. Deidara, on the other hand, knew at least part of what to expect from Sasuke. Despite the elemental advantage, Sasuke was at a huge disadvantage overall. The fight was a complete miss-match.

And even with his disadvantages, Sasuke was still mostly in control of the whole fight. Most of the damage Sasuke took was from one, single explosion, his own Chidori, and the final, massive explosion.

The Itachi vs. Sasuke fight, on the other hand, consisted of two men who mainly use genjutsu, taijutsu and flame-based attacks at short-to-mid-range. A much more even match.

I'm sorry but darkreaper, you are an idiot and you have no idea what you're talking about. Don't take everything thats been said literally, especially if you're reading a translation, as there's bound to be an inconsistency on what they meant to say. The point is, sasuke avoided ameratsu because itchi was focusing it on the replacement sasuke. even if it wasnt a replacement, itachi stopped the technique early anyways to save sasuke's eyes. and besides, everything aside, it's not surprising at all that itachi is losing here, if any other opponent was fighting him, and tsukuyomi AND ameratsu failed to take them out, they would be winning too because itachi is exhausted at this point. He's a 2 hit wonder, then he's done. Sorry fangirls, he sucks. In closing who the hell cares about deidra.

So I'm supposed to believe you over people who have been studying Japanese for a long time? No thanks. I'd rather call you the idiot. Btw Itachi used Ameterasu twice. Two Ameterasu and one Tsukiyomi and they all failed against him? Ok your right Sasuke owns. /end sarcasm.

Sasuke is so damn broken it's ridiculous. Yes, I realize he's supposed to be stronger, but having him blow through three major enemies, two of which he's had little problems, its ridiculous.

I really looked forward to this, but now I wish it would end. The fight has been pretty boring as hell simply due to the fact that Sasuke has pretty much walked all over Itachi.

In the meantime, we'll watch Naruto get a powerup at the cost of him having another stupid huge handicap. ugh.
