Itachi readies for combat    Meeting Itachi Uchiha brings back painful memories for both Naruto and Sakura. Naruto challenges Itachi but Kakashi stopsTeam Kakashi is cautious him and tells everyone to avoid looking into Itachi’s eyes. Itachi’s genjutsu is a vision-type justu, meaning it will affect the opponent only if he makes eye contact.  Might Guy had successfully fought Itachi in the past by only reading the movements of  his hands and feet. However, it is easier said than done for young shinobi like Sakura and Naruto.

    Chiyo had fought Sharigan users in the past.  Her advice is for one of them to act as a diversion while the others attack from Itachi’s blind spot.  So even if one of them is caught in Itachi is surprised by Kakashihis genjutsu, the others can break it by hitting the Sharigan user, or at least help by cancelling the genjutsu.  However, Kakashi explains to her that Itachi is a step beyond the regualer Sharigan ninja.  He has developed the Mangekyou Sharigan (Kaleidoscope Sharigan), which can capture opponents in its genjutsu instantaneously and its effects also cannot be cancelled.


    Itachi is impressed that Kakashi has his Mangekyou Sharigan so thoroughly analyzed despite havingKakashi unveils his own Kaleidoscope Sharigan been affected by his genjutsu only once before.  Kakashi also reveals that using the Mangekyou Sharigan Not so special anymore, huh?carries a great risk because it deteriorates the user’s normal eyesight.  Itachi is surprised that Kakashi knows about this side effect, but when Kakashi reveals his own Sharigan eye, it becomes clear why.  Kakashi has developed his own version of the Mangekyou Sharigan since their last encounter.  It is powerful enough that Itachi has to look away temporarily when Kakashi unveils it.  However, Kakashi admits he alone is still not enough to take on Itachi; it will take a team effort to defeat him.
