After a few speechless moments of watching, Zetsu realises Itachi truly has died despite almost succeeding in taking Sasuke's eyes. Itachi's Amaterasu continues to burn the area. He reaches for Sasuke's eyes and mutters something, but only makes it as far as poking Sasuke's forehead before collapsing.Ĭhapter 394 ' Sasuke's Victory' ( サスケの勝利, Sasuke no Shōri) This does not prevent him from cornering Sasuke. As Itachi draws nearer his Susanoo begins to disappear and he starts to cough up blood.

Itachi approaches Sasuke to take his eyes, and Sasuke makes futile attempts to keep him away. With Orochimaru gone, Sasuke is out of options. As a special property of Susanoo's sword, Orochimaru is sealed away, removing him and his cursed seal from Sasuke's body.Ĭhapter 393 ' My Eyes…!!' ( オレの眼…!!, Ore no Me…!!) He prepares to take Sasuke's body, but is struck by Susanoo. He thanks Itachi for pushing Sasuke to his limits and thus allowing him to escape. Susanoo cuts off the serpent's heads, prompting Orochimaru to reveal himself. Orochimaru's Eight Branches Technique erupts from Sasuke's body and attacks Itachi. Seeing this, Orochimaru offers to help Sasuke defeat Itachi. It surrounds Itachi and protects him from all damage. Itachi reveals Susanoo, the last of the techniques granted to him by his Mangekyō Sharingan. Itachi assures him that Kirin was a powerful attack and that he would have been dead if it wasn't for his Susanoo.Ĭhapter 392 ' Susanoo…!!' ( 須佐能乎…!!, Susanoo…!!) Angry that his final attack has failed, Sasuke activates level two of his cursed seal.

After the clouds dissipate Sasuke believes he has won. Itachi is struck and the surrounding area is destroyed. By controlling the natural lightning, Sasuke gains a devastating and unavoidable technique: Kirin. Zetsu realises that Sasuke has taken advantage of his own fire technique and Itachi's Amaterasu to create perfect conditions for lightning. Sasuke corrects him, saying he has one more technique just as storm clouds gather.Ĭhapter 391 ' Together with the Thunder…!!' ( 雷鳴と共に…!!, Raimei to Tomo ni…!!)Īs a storm begins to brew. Although he is exhausted from use of his Mangekyō Sharingan, Itachi believes he has won. Sasuke depletes his chakra reserves with additional fire technique, but they miss Itachi. He finds that it is only a body double, Sasuke having used one of Orochimaru's techniques to escape damage. As his body is reduced to ashes Itachi reaches for his eyes. Despite Sasuke's attempts to escape, Amaterasu strikes him as well. Itachi's Amaterasu overwhelms Sasuke's regular fire and goes on to ignite the area. Chapter 390 ' The Final Technique…!!'
