CHAPTER 388 - The Difference in Power

    Sasuke screams in pain and clenches the wound in his left eye as blood drips to the ground.  Itachi watches coldly and reiterates what he said before about Sasuke being no match for him without the Mangekyou Sharingan.  Sasuke stares down at the blood on his hand from his empty eye socket as if still in disbelief of what Itachi had just done to him.

    Itachi glares evilly at Sasuke and says that he will now take the other eye.  This triggers Sasuke’s rage and he immediately activates his Cursed Seal.  But Itachi leaps away in time to avoid getting mauled by Sasuke’s wing-like appendage.  He then retrieves a small glass container from his sleeve and drops Sasuke’s Sharingan eyeball into the fluid inside.  Itachi closes the lid on the container and comments to Sasuke that this proves the true gap between their powers, and the difference between their eyes.

    To Sasuk’s surprise, a clone of Itachi managed to sneak behind him and restrains him.  The real Itachi moves closer and stretches out his bloodied fingers to retrieve Sasuke’s second eyeball.  Sasuke fights back and activates his Cursed Seal to level 2.  As Sasuke fully transforms, Itachi is forced to halt when he witnesses the pupil of Sasuke’s Sharingan suddenly dilate until they touched the tomoes.   At the same time, Sasuke summons snakes from his body to attack Itachi.  Itachi puts a stop to Sasuke;s resistance by finally using his Tsukuyomi on him.  Now inside his own dimension, Itachi attempts to retrieve Sasuke’s Sharingan again.  But to his surprise, his dimension begins to crack and fragment until it is entirely dispelled.

    Back in reality, Sasuke clutches his left eye and confirms that it is indeed still there.  He collapses to his knees and pants in exhaustion.  Observing from the roof, the white side of Zetsu believes that Itachi has won because Sasuke won’t be able to move after experiencing Itachi’s Tsukuyomi.  But Zetsu is left speechless when Itachi drops to his knees too, clutching his own eye.   It is Sasuke who gets to his feet first, wearing a wide smirk on his face.  Zetsu’s black half realizes that Sasuke didn’t get hit by the Tsukuyomi, but instead resisted and overcame its effects.  Zetsu’s other half is confused by how someone without the Mangekyou can defeat someone who has it.  The black half of Zetsu explains that the Sharingan is just another tool for a shinobi, and a tool is only as powerful as the skill of the user.  In short, Itachi had underestimated Sasuke’s potential to master the Sharingan.

    As Itachi rises to his feet, Sasuke tells him that his eye techniques are futile because no matter what, he will make his dream of killing Itachi into a reality.  Itachi responds by stating that he will make the illusion Sasuke saw during the Tsukuyomi of his own eyes being plucked out into a reality.  Zetsu suddenly fells the air around Itachi changing by the gathering of chakra.  As Itachi forms a hand seal and closes his left eye, Zetsu realizes that Itachi is preparing to unleash his Amaterasu technique.
