CHAPTER 392 - Susanoo

    Having expanded the last of his chakra, an exhausted Sasuke is quickly running out of options.  But Itachi is in no hurry and he explains to Sasuke that the Susanoo is the third and final technique which he awoke when he gained the Mangekyou Sharingan.  Itachi then smugly suggests that Sasuke use any jutsus he has left up his sleeve if he has any.  The sky begins to clear up, indicating that Sasuke’s Kirin attack was a one-shot deal; Sasuke is truly out of techniques now.

    Plumes of flames suddenly burst forth from the skeletal form of Susanno and begin to materialize into flesh and armor.  In moments, the giant translucent shape of a warrior draped in flames appears over Itachi.  It has several arms and is carrying a large shield and gourd.

     As Sasuke stares in disbelief, his left pupil suddenly transforms into a reptilian shape and a familiar voice calls out from inside him.  It is Orochimaru.  With his chakra depleted, Sasuke no longer has the power to suppress Orochimaru’s consciousness inside him anymore.  Orochimaru tempts Sasuke with power if he would just release him.  Sasuke tries to resist but he is already past his limit.  Slowly, the heads of several white snakes begin to emerge from his back.  At last, Sasuke can no longer hold Orochimaru back anymore and lets out a scream as the white serpents burst forth and grow into a giant eight headed hydra that rivals the size of Itachi’s Susanoo.




    Itachi comments that he recognizes this aura as belonging to Orochimaru and begins to move closer.  One of the heads of the hydra attacks, but Susanoo unplugs his gourd and draws out the vapors within to form a shapeless sword.  The head of the snake is slashed to pieces in one swing.  The remaining snake heads rush forward to strike simultaneously, but they crash futilely into Susanoo’s shield and then they too are decapitated by his sword.

    One head remains on the hydra and out of its mouth it regurgitates the slime covered and naked body of Orochimaru.  Orochimaru lets out a crazed laugh and then expels his Kusanagi sword from his mouth.  He thanks Itachi for forcing Sasuke to use up his chakra and therefore allow him to escape.  He plans on taking over Sasuke’s body and defeating Itachi, but before he can finish his words, Susanoo plunges his giant sword into Orochimaru’s chest.  Itachi completely ignores Orochimaru and once again asks Sasuke if he has any tricks left to use.  Orochimaru laughs and tells Itachi that a small scratch like this won’t be enough to stop him, but then he realizes that Susanoo’s word is not a normal weapon.  It is called the Sword of Totsuka, a spirit sword said to have the ability to seal whomever it pierces into an eternal dream-like genjutsu.  Orochimaru had been searching for it his whole life because it is the ultimate counter for his Kusanagi Sword.  He is in utter disbelief that Itachi had it all along as he is absorbed into the Sword of Totsuka and is sealed inside Susanoo’s gourd.

    With Orochimaru’s presence gone,  Sasuke’s body returns to normal, even his Cursed Seal state is retracted.  Itachi coldly tells Sasuke that is over for him.
