Chapter 477: "Don't Speak of Itachi"

Susanoo easily deflects Danzou's kunai and Karin tries to determine how the elder ninja survived. She considers how he had only one chakra source, so it wasn't a clone and wonders if it was Genjutsu. Susanoo smashes down, crushing Danzou... but from above Danzou offers kudos for Susanoo's offensive power as well. Karin examines Sasuke's chakra and determines neither he nor she have the disturbed chakra of one caught in Genjutsu. Susanoo strikes again, sending rubble flying. As Danzou jumps away, Sasuke engulfs him in Amaterasu flames. Madara offers that Sasuke is unnecessarily overtaxing himself. Karin yells out a warning as an unharmed Danzou fires Fuuton projectiles towards Sasuke. Sasuke is forced to retreated over the side of the bridge. In midair he wipes his blood and summons a large hawk which hovers him. Madara wonders when Sasuke got the new summon and Danzou states that with that Amaterasu use, Sasuke really is Itachi's brother. As Karin watches from a distance, she notices one of the Sharingan eyes on Danzou's arm close. Sasuke warns Danzou again to not speak of Itachi. Danzou chides the young man, offering that though Sasuke and Itachi share the same power, they view things completely differently. Because now Sasuke is in the grip of hate, making the Uchiha sacrifice for nothing. The hawk charges and as Danzou unleashes a new Fuuton, Sasuke jumps. Danzou grabs Sasuke by the throat but the young Uchiha cuts him through with his sword. As the Sharingan arm falls to the ground, another Sharingan eye closes. From above, an unhurt Danzou offers that it's no use but Sasuke only watches on in silence. From Sasuke’s body crows emerge and take flight. They quickly circle the confused Danzou and combine into a human form... that of Uchiha Itachi.
