It's ironic isn't it kishi's favorite character are itachi and sasuke not the main character that is the title of his manga.
Because Mangekyou is Badass. But anyway Sasuke has surpassed Itachi for good. Kishi just shows that Itachi actually was doing this all for Sasuke, and that he still cares about him, it has nothing to do with Power..

true. Orochimaru's was by far the worst, a great villian cast aside. so Orochimaru had been searching for the Totsuka sword for ages, and then only recognised it after he was stabbed?

And then Naruto forgot all about Pain's techniques (that was only the biggest battle of his life mind you). Tbh this is the smallest of the trolls kishi has pulled with Itachi. He got pretty much skewered (although it might be in a genjutsu)

Kishi devaluing characters to make others look good is his biggest flaw. He's doing it with Naruto all the time, he did it with Sakura a few chapters after she had her best fight, he's done it with Kakashi ever since we were shown that he can use Kamui offensively. Not to mention Lee, that insane speed he had in part 1 just disappeared.

Reading too much into it? Why make Itachi protect Sasuke when Sasuke could clearly do it himself since he can also use susanoo? There really isn't a reason other then downgrading others to make Itachi look like a Mary Sue, which is what he seems like in this fight.
Yeah I get what you're saying but does it really make a difference whether it was Itachi or Sasuke's Susanoo? It does improve Itachi's image but I think he made up for it by showing Itachi getting impaled straight after.

Either that or you're trolling for attention. All he's doing is showing the bond between Itachi and Sasuke. Sasuke is his little brother, No shit he's going to protect him whether he can do it himself or not.



Already.. He attacked both Itachi and Sasuke.(Probably why Kabuto said you protected Sasuke.) Basically.. Spikes came up top and below. Susano'o would not protect Sasuke from below. Am I right?


I'm pretty sure you know this too. :mad:

The attack wasn't even aimed at Sasuke to begin with, so why Itachi felt the need to protect him is beyond me. The fact is Kishi is downgrading other charaters because of his love fetish for Itachi.

I can pretty much think of 5 off the top of my head. Naruto, Bee, Nagato, Orochimaru, and now Sasuke.

If you think I'm trolling then simply leave because I have no time for simple minded people like you. If you can't discuss peacefully then simply get out.

Why would Kabuto say, You protected Sasuke if his target was never Sasuke. He attack Itachi and Sasuke.

Orochimaru admitted in part 1 he was no match for Itachi.(Also, the reason he went after Sasuke.)

The whole Nagato, Bee, Naruto that's another story.. It would have downgraded Naruto, Bee, and Itachi if they got beat by a cripple. So it's a lose/lose situation.


Edit: I'm done. I can't change your opinion. :)

what are you complaining about?

the main charakter is afterall naruto and not sasuke
when naruto dies the whole manga ends

sasuke is only the plot of shipuuden
when oroshimaru was killed
naruto shipuuden began

when sasuke dies in the war
shipuuden will end and the manga can continue with another naruto series

*Sigh* I can clearly tell you didn't even bother to read the OP from this ignorant post.

Kabuto said I won't hurt you because you're my guinea pig afterall meaning he wasn't even trying to attack Sasuke in the first place.

It's not considered downgrading if Itachi is stronger than those other ones. Besides, he protected Sasuke as any older sibling would do. Now I''m starting to believe Kishi is making Sasuke look so weak so that he can reveal his new jutsu during the Naruto fight.

Well I do see your point, in a way. Though there are some other arguements that have good points as well (such as the brotherly love stuff).

Anyway, my question is, why does it really matter all that much? Nothing we say or do is going to change the course of the manga! If Kishi wants Itachi to become an Edo Uchiha Jinchuriki with the Rinnegan, then so be it xd

So sit back and enjoy the story! :)

I agree especially with that time with Naruto, bee and nagato I was so pissed at how they had to get saved just to make itachi look good and that made kabuto look like a dumbass because while he was dealing with Naruto and bee it looked like he completely forgot about itachi U_U

I worry when my little brother falls down, even though he's usually fine. Maybe it's the same thing as this, only on a bigger scale. Plus, Itachi is in Edo form. He has less to lose if he takes a hit than if Sasuke does. Just a basic older bro protecting a little bro.
