CHAPTER 389 - Sasuke's Strategy

    With his Tsukuyomi defeated by Sasuke, Itachi knows that playing more of his genjutsu games would be pointless. With his prize right in front of him, Itachi is not going to hold back anything. He switches to his right eye and switches from using the most powerful genjutsu technique to the most powerful ninjutsu technique in his arsenal: Amaterasu.

    Itachi performs the hand seals to activate the Amaterasu, but appears to be slower compared to his performance earlier in the battle. Sasuke’s counter is to use his incredible speed to prevent Itachi from forming his seals. He uses the Shadow Shuriken trick on Itachi with Chidori enhanced blades. Itachi is forced to jump through the gap between the two giant shurikens, but Sasuke has one more trick to this attack. Sasuke pulls on two wires still attached to his shurikens and causes the blades to detach and fly in different direction.

    To Zetsu’s surprise, Itachi is hit in the leg by one of the blades, even though this level of attack is something he could normally dodge with ease. The reason? Itachi is still feeling the side effects of his failed Tsukuyomi attempt. He is still disorientated and even has trouble focusing his vision.

    Knowing that he now had the advantage, Sasuke steps up his offensive and unleashes a Grand Fireball on Itachi. Despite his leg wound, Itachi manages to get airborne to avoid being toasted. However Sasuke also leaps into the air and prepares to give Itachi a taste of his Chidori. But the quick-thinking Itachi always has an escape plan. He counters with his own Grand Fireball to stop Sasuke’s charge, and uses the recoil to propel himself through the ceiling and onto the roof of the building complex.

    Sasuke manages to shrug off most of the burns by partially activating his cursed seal to protect himself. Now both Uchiha brothers are on the roof and each prepares to unleash another round of fire jutsus. As their blasts of fire collide, it is clear that Sasuke is overpowering Itachi. But what appears to be a certain victory for Sasuke suddenly reverses itself as Itachi unveils what he has been hiding this whole time. The black tendrils of the Amaterasu explode in a spectacular blossom. It quickly consumes Sasuke’s flames with Sasuke himself as its next target.
