This is a discussion thread based on Danzou's forbidden Izanagi technique. In the very beginning of the fight, he invoked some hand seals and we were all left wondering what that could have been for. Now, it seems that we have our answer, ne? Hence Danzou surviving every fatal blow Sasuke dealt as he reappears unscathed. I have some pages below to get a better feel about what I want to mainly discuss:
He kicks Karin to preserve his chakra and I would assume the reason why is because of how much chakra Izanagi possibly uses up.
As Sasuke activates his now complete Suasno'o, Danzou is slightly slashed in the process.
Here we have Danzou quoting that he hasn't the time to form the seals (hmm...Izanagi I suppose) and instead uses Mokuton and then...
Afterward, he states that he avoided it somehow which is shocking to see as he had no time to dodge and was forced to gamble with the Mokuton jutsu thus was lucky to escape with his life at the cost of a huge drop in chakra reverses as Karin stated (not sure how much). As the fight continues, it is more and more apparent just how sloppy he is becoming.
He gets hit this time by the arrow but not before being able to form the seals thus he survived once more. This is the last one for now and all together he has escaped death six times (with the exception of two out of the six; his arm was severed and would have eventually led to death via exsanguination).
Here we have Karin stating that his chakra took another dip and that the tech must pose a lot of risk to him (Izanagi). Then she remembers when he released the tech. The reason why? It was due to Sasuke being sealed which he felt confident enough to finish him and in the process conserve the rest of his chakra which obviously meant it was depleting.
Madara is seen quietly pondering to himself something very interesting. He begins to recognize the forbidden Izanagi and yet it seemingly appeared as if he wasn't completely informed of this technique. Chotto, this is weird because if you would expect someone to have this tech it would have been none other than Madara. In my opinion this seems illogical for him to possess very little info but Danzou who supposedly isn't even an Uchiha, uses this tech. He says that all of those Sharingan are related so then is it only requiring numerous Sharingan? With or without Mangekyou? How long ago did this forbidden tech originate? Madara only appears as if he's heard about it but not entirely and no access to it either. Is it because of a possible multiple Sharingan requirement? If indeed, he had his chance when he and Itachi commuted the slaughter so why not then? In my opinion, it could have been a legend of some sort or was hidden so well by the Uchiha's ancestors that not even Madara was able to uncover. He probably heard of the forbidden tech Izanagi and what it had to offer like for example when activated, enables the user to survive a certain amount of fatalities, maybe even an immortal tech but didn't know the requirements and realized by observing Danzou. Is Izanagi a technique that simply gives you extra lives or is there more to it like offense rather than just simply defense? If indeed this is, why hasn't Danzou already acted upon it a few chapters ago and finished Sasuke off, ne?
So in conclusion, there are too many questions and a minority of answers lol I can't wait for next week's chapter so maybe we will get a little more informed. These are all my theories and I welcome anyone who may have their own or would like to discuss any of mine.
