No way!

It's useless.

Huh?

What?! But how-?!

Itachi?!

The Forbidden Visual Jutsu

Die.

Amaterasu!

I have to give you credit for placing me under a genjutsu.

Heh.

Sasuke! Now's your chance! Why did you stop?

But yours is still a far cry from Itachi's.

With his masterful Tsukuyomi, he was able to freely manipulate time within the dreamscape.

A Curse Mark that causes paralysis.

[Madara] He must have placed it then.

[Karin] Sasuke... you can't move?!

Aagh!

[Danzo] I don't need to use ninjutsu against that one.

Sticking with Taijutsu, eh? looks like he wants to preserve chakra.

Release!

The flow of Danzo's chakra has changed. What's he up to?

If Sasuke knows the truth about Itachi, then the Akatsuki must know as well.

[Danzo] It's impossible to conceal what really happened any longer.

But why?

Why did you ever believe that it was necessary to save the life of such trash, Itachi?

Rgh!

No! Sasuke!

Take a good look, Itachi.

Look at the state he's in.

This boy...

Is your ultimate mistake, without a doubt.

[silence]

[Madara] [flashback] He couldn't kill... his little brother.

He killed every shred of feeling in his heart in order to slaughter his own kin for the sake of his village.

But he just couldn't bring himself to kill you.

Do you understand what that means?

Huh?

[Madara] [flashback] To him, your life...

was even more precious...

than the village!

Huuaaahhh!

Yaaaahh!

[Danzo] He broke free of the Curse Mark.

Is that the Susano'o? It's almost completely different from before!

[inhale] [exhale]

This is Sasuke?! His chakra! He's changed into something totally new.

Good. His rage has matured and gained in power.

And his body is naturally responding to it.

This is really going quite well indeed. He doesn't need my help at all.

He's aiming right at me. Can't weave the signs in time!

I have no choice!

At least I managed to divert its path.

Danzo's chakra level plunged with that jutsu!

But why dodge Susano'o's attack, especially at such a cost?

I thought the jutsu he's been using is supposed to make him immortal.

The jutsu he released earlier must have been protecting him!

That was Wood Style. now it makes sense.

With that many Sharingan, I knew there had to be some kind of secret,

to allow someone who wasn't an Uchiha to be able to use them.

Damn that Orochimaru. It seems he was in close contact with Danzo.

[panting]

[Madara] He had the cells of First Hokage Hashirama implanted in him to enhance his physical energy.

That's how he's able to control so many Sharingan.

[panting]

No! He can die! If he hadn't dodged that attack, he would have died!

That's why he exhausted so much chakra!

Sasuke, listen!

That's the real Danzo!

But the jutsu that makes him invincible is undone right now!

And that means he's vulnerable!

So that woman is a Sensory Type ninja!

Looks like she's caught on to me. But it's too late!

Yes! Got him!

No, I was wrong.

As soon as Danzo weaved those signs, the feel of his chakra shifted just slightly.

He launched that other jutsu!

I'm probably the only one who's able to pick that up.

That means Susano'o's attack just then probably wasn't in time. Damn it!

He recast that jutsu, But those three eyes stayed shut.

As far as I can tell, there are ten Sharingan on that arm, in addition to the First Hokage's cells.

Uchiha's power and Hashirama's power.

It looks like he's planning to try to control Nine-Tails.

So he's after Naruto, too.

Danzo's chakra dropped again just now.

It seems like that jutsu really takes quite a toll.

That must be why he needed to undo it before.

Release!

In order to preserve his chakra!

And another thing; those Sharingan on his right arm are definitely linked to his jutsu, I just know it!

[Karin] There's some secret to those eyes that keep closing.

There's no mistake.

This is the Visual Jutsu forbidden even among the Uchiha: The Izanagi.

I certainly didn't expect to see it here, of all places.

[panting]

[wet cough]

Ah! Sasuke!

Don't panic! I have to figure out Danzo's jutsu! I've gotta stay focused on that right now!

Huuuah!

The Izanagi.

Where for a few seconds' span of time,

anything disadvantageous to the wielder, like damage or death, can be rewritten as a dream.

[panting]

[inhale]

[exhale]

And anything advantageous, such as the wielder's attacks, are kept as part of reality.

An ultimate genjutsu cast upon oneself that blurs the border between fantasy and reality!

And the eye that uses Izanagi loses its light, never to open again.

But with that many eyes...

The duration of the Izanagi varies with each user.

He wanted to extend that time no matter what it took, so he became Orochimaru's lab rat.

That Madara. There's no chance he'll join the battle, but I can't take any chances.

I must keep enough power in reserve to fight him.

It'll be some time before my right eye recovers from using it during the Summit.

However, fighting the Susano'o won't be easy, either.

That arrow attack is very difficult to dodge.

I can't undo the Izanagi yet.

I have to finish things this minute.

Summoning Jutsu!

That Summoning. It's the Baku, a monster that devours nightmares.

It's a lot larger than I imagined.

I will not lose sight of Danzo! No matter what!

Now Susano'o won't be able to move.

And I'll augment the Baku's already impressive suction power with even more force.

Wind Style: Vacuum Blast Barrage!

The weak spot in the Susano'o is right there!

[Sasuke] Fire Style! Fire Ball Jutsu!

Fire Style. Clever, using the Baku's inhalation against itself, Sasuke.

[panting]

[wet coughs]

53... 54... 55... 56... 57... 58... 59... 60!

Those eyes! One shuts about every 60 seconds.

And Danzo's chakra keeps dropping rapidly all the while.

Which means...

That right arm of his can be used to measure the duration of action of his weird jutsu.

Just four left!

About two hundred and forty seconds, or four minutes, is the time limit of that jutsu!

From what I can tell, while his jutsu's active,

it allows his attacks to be successful but makes Sasuke's attacks ineffective.

If that's the way this jutsu works,

Danzo's got to be desperate to take Sasuke down while the jutsu is still up and running.

Even a mutual strike would be a win to Danzo!

[Karin] Sasuke! I think I'm starting to get his jutsu!

Are you listening to me?

When all ten of the eyes you have on your right arm have closed your jutsu will be undone, isn't that right?

You knew? You knew about about the Izanagi?

As I suspected!

You tricked it out of me! Why, you crafty brat!

No! You fool! Don't engage him!

Stop, Sasuke! You should just retreat for now! Prolong the battle!

That would be pointless, for in that case, Danzo would just undo the Izanagi.

If that happens, Sasuke would be at an overwhelming disadvantage, since he's already used up so much of his strength.

Sasuke is pressing him with the super-fast, super-strong Susano'o to force Danzo to continue using Izanagi,

and thus use it up.

Sasuke has long known that this battle will be won by whoever outlasts the other.

He's putting his remaining strength into a chakra blade. This is the deciding moment.

How many Uchiha did you have to kill to get that right arm of yours?!

It was all thanks to Itachi.

You made him do it!

[Danzo] Shisui's eye has recovered at last.

However, Sasuke is no longer useful with that injury.

As I thought, Madara's the one I need to place under genjutsu and manipulate.

I can't waste time. My wound is too deep. I simply cannot afford to die here today.

[Sasuke] Next time on Naruto Shippuden: Danzo Shimura.

[Danzo] I win.
