CHAPTER
394 - Sasuke's Victory
The black flames of Amaterasu continue to spread from the
ruins of the Uchiha stronghold to the surrounding forest. The
white snake seen at the end of last chapter slithers towards the forest
seeking shelter, but the Amaterasu has already spread there and it
falls onto the snake and burns it to ashes.
Itachi lays motionless on the ground and a heavy
rain begins to fall. Zetsu initially thinks Itachi has passed out, but
then begins to wonder if he has really died. However,
Itachi’s performance in the battle didn’t make
sense to him. Zetsu has been around Akatsuki for as long as Itachi has
and knows very well Itachi’s fighting level. He points out
that Itachi wasn’t
attacking or moving normally during the
whole fight. Itachi got hit by attacks he could have normally dodged
and he also kept coughing up blood as if he was suffering from some
disease. Zetsu suggests that Itachi might have been wounded even before
the battle with Sasuke. When Zetsu’s light side suggests that
Itachi could have just been overusing his Sharingan, his dark side says
that it might be something else.
The rain pours heavily down on Sasuke and Itachi,
washing away the blood from their bodies. In a scene similar to the one
at the beginning of chapter
364, the blood running down from Sauske’s forehead
drips down from his left eye, making it seem as if he is crying for his
brother. Lightning suddenly cracks overhead and Sasuke is seen smiling.
But then he closes his eyes and collapses due to exhaustion. The last
two Uchiha brothers, lying side by side in the rain, surrounded by the
destroyed ruins of an ancient Uchiha stronghold. The rain continues the
fall, but the flames of Amaterasu burn relentlessly. This may be the
conclusion to Sasuke’s battle, but else where another fight
is just getting started.
Naruto, Kiba and Akamaru fall back from an attack
on Tobi with support from Yamato. Its seems like they’ve been
trying hard to hit Tobi with different attack formations, but
everything is
ineffective. Kiba and
Naruto’s timing on the
attacks was perfect and Naruto is sure they did manage to hit Tobi, but
like his earlier attempt with the Rasengan,
everything just ends up
phasing through their opponent. Sakura thinks it may be a special clone
or genjutsu but Hinata checked the
surroundings with her Byakugan and
determined that the only
source of chakra is coming from right here.
Yamato and Kakashi conclude it
could be a special
technique unique to Tobi. Kakashi turns to Shino
for their next move,
saying that the Aburame clan’s secret techniques will be most
useful here. Tobi seems to recognize that Shino is from the Aburame
clan - which you would expect if he is indeed Madara Uchiha.
And not having seen action in the last missions against
Akatsuki, Shino is really pumped up and sends a swarm of his Kikaichu
bugs into the
air.
