Hi everyone Good to see u guys here..
yeah, glad to see you here croc! the discussion is just awesome as it is now. and the great senseis of NC are here, too. so i'm really so honored and proud to be in your company.
great theories everyone. now let me catch up with reading your other posts.
@LORD
yeah i almost flipped off the wall (i didn't pull my hair out though -- that's for the fangirls.) ITACHI is back!!! and he's angry, very, very angry. XD i think itachi's presence is the second of his series of 'fail-safes' and is either an implanted 'bunshin' in sasuke's eye or a genjutsu. we just wonder what itachi will gonna do to danzo. (*excited*)

my chapter comments
it's is worth noting that the way itachi's bunshin 'dies' were much like how danzo repetitively dies in this chapter, blood spurting and all, albeit without the fancy crows flying. see

so my (alternative) theory is that
it is an advanced bunshin tech that danzo is doing, similar to itachi's, but he is able to 'conceal' the chakras of his other bunshins through his sharingan... and perhaps also through a space-time jutsu (for that is so far the only other way we know how to conceal one's chakra aside from karin's ability). it is possible that each sharingan represents/controls one bunshin. the closest and most strategically located bunshin gets activated after the recent one gets snuffed out. and whenever a bunshin gets 'extinguished' the sharingan eye that controls it closes. there is no way danzo is immortal, but he would like to make it appear to sasuke that he can't be killed, he said, "it's no use." and he has about a total of 11 sharingans!
so it would be karin and madara who would analyze and finally decipher danzo's mysterious jutsu. this seems to be what is being suggested by the chapter subtitle: DANZO'S MYSTERIOUS POWERS.
so would danzo be defeated here?
i agree to what many of us said that
it would not be danzo's end yet. as the chapter teaser indicates... danzo: is he the greedy despot or the ultimate shinobi incarnate? his 'roots' run deep, so deep.
so what does this mean?
in other words, danzo is a character that holds much info and influence in the story. we'll not gonna see his demise so soon. {B]either we get to see more of danzo's 'roots' organization or his own personal roots, his personal history, and most importantly his connections and his great influence and power in relation to political events and concerns in the ninja world. or all of the above.[/B]
this is what danzo is saying when he tells sasuke that he does not see 'itachi's truth' and devalues 'the sacrifice of the uchiha clan'. this gives us a clue to the 'extreme' importance of the deaths of all the other members of the uchiha clan. surely it is not only to avoid a coup and the deaths of many konoha villagers, it is much much more. since if it was only to avoid a coup, a successful assassination of all the major players of the uchiha coup plot would suffice. but even the innocent women, children, elderly, and non-combatants had to die too!
what's the purpose?
itachi knows. but sasuke still doesn't. that is why itachi's first question to sasuke before they fought was, "just how far does your eye see (the truth)?" and "unless you see with the same eyes as me, you would not beat me."

it is the power of truth that will conclude this conflict between danzo-madara-itachi-sasuke.
now as i read back the chapter and watch the fairly recent episode where itachi does a tsukoyomi on sasuke and plucks out his eye, i am lead to believe that was not merely a 'useless' jutsu meant only to show off, but itachi did something else also, which we now see as the jutsus in sasuke's left eye and most probably also this 'second' fail-safe, a tsukoyomi bunshin of himself! the transfer of jutsus may not have happened only at the last moment when the blood on itachi's fingers dripped down to sasuke's left eye.
we can't underestimate the true power of itachi's tsukoyomi.
first of all, i think it was the power of tsukoyomi that made that implant/trasfer of jutsu technique happen. now it is the tsukoyomi that sasuke has performed that enabled itachi's bunshin to be activated against danzo's sharingans. secondly, it is to be observed that itachi's vehicle of revealing truth is usually through the tsukoyomi. therefore, we must not underestimate how itachi is able to make into reality or how much reality he can make happen with the 'special genjutsu' that is the tsukoyomi.
i think it is part of itachi's responsibility and intention to reveal the truth to his little brother, but not directly from him (since that would be a betrayal of his own code) but through helping sasuke force out a confession from danzo himself (through the tsukoyomi).
so i expect the 'truth' about the real purpose of the uchiha massacre will be revealed in the confrontation between itachi and danzo; and sasuke will fill-in what he got from madara. so we'll know who really is speaking the truth.
if that happens, i think madara will end up having to 'emend' some of his stuff, as well as further justify his participation in the massacre and his relations with danzo; or in order to stop being found out, he will be the one to snuff out danzo before he sorts the spilled beans according to its kind.
but all these is just wishful thinking, the likes of danzo will die with his secrets, just like itachi. so if that is the status quo, it is madara who holds the power of influence here... since he is the only one who has the story. unless danzo and/or itachi speak/s out, that is.
the truth shall set free.
