582 - izanami
kabuto - izanami?!
itachi - the ability to turn genjutsus into reality. the anthesis of izanagi, which as you know sasuke, can turn reality into nothing more than an illusion.
sasuke - how will this defeat kabuto?
itachi - izanami has a second ability, that control's one's destiny and allows them to see the future.
kabuto - kuku. so you saw my victory did you?
itachi - not exactly.
sasuke uses chidori nagashi as kabuto charges forward, then slashes at him with chidori. kabuto dodges, and kicks him away. itachi shunshin's behind him, and kabuto counters.
kabuto: sage art: white snake piercing spear!
itachi turns into crows as his body is obliterated by the whitish chakra spear.
kabuto - where's the real one..stop playing tricks you clown!
sasuke's sword pierces kabuto's stomach. blood spills out.
itachi - i missed any vital organs that would cause you to die. the fight will end now. i can see the future of every move you make and counter accordingly.
sasuke - great. now all we have to do is make him stop edo tensei!
kabuto - something like this won't beat me.
kabuto turns to liquid, and then surrounds itachi, trapping him. itachi activates amaterasu and burns the liquid off.
itachi - i saw everything you did and countered it. you cant win against izanami kabuto. now sasuke..turn off the flames before he gets killed! remember we want him alive.
sasuke's EMS swirls and the flames disappear. kabuto has vanished.
kabuto - nice work. not enough. i suppose you knew i'd do that. so we are right back where we started, but im beginning to weaken due to those damn flames. *i have a theory though..*
itachi tries again and his susano fist punches kabuto, who throws up his arms to defend against it, and itachi uses the yata shield to pin kabuto against the wall, then sasuke pierces him with susano arrow, using it as a makeshift spear. then itachi's MS spins and these events play out again. kabuto seems to have been defeated by the arrow. itachi smiles and turns to sasuke. but then kabuto turns into little white snakes.
sasuke - !...
kabuto starts laughing from the ceiling.
kabuto - kukuku. that was a snake clone.
itachi *..he's figured it out already.*
kabuto - you say theres a weakness to everything. the weakness of your jutsu, itachi...is that you cannot counter everything, even if you do see it ahead of time. because the amount of time you can view is only 30 seconds. i tested this theory by letting myself be stabbed. you acted surprised when i used a clone, meaning even if you see the future, its only from your perspective. what im doing is invaluable information but one you wont notice if your focusing on just my next moves for 30 seconds. if you truly saw everything with izanami, you'd have never tried to stab me since you should have known from the beginning it wouldnt work.
something bursts from the ground.
kabuto - sage art: restraining chains technique!
itachi and sasuke both are pinned to the ground covered in steel chains. they struggle against its force.
kabuto - now you cannot even move even if you see the next 30 seconds. so what good has this jutsu done for you? except give you glorified intel on my next moves. but as long as i can fend off your attacks, knowing what im going to do next is meaningless. especially if i am already countering you in the present, and setting up failsafes. but if i had to tell you your fatal flaw, its that your not coming at me with killing intent. you fail time and again because you dont have your hearts in this fight, unlike me. you're too busy reminiscing your brotherly bonds. come at me more serious, itachi. stop wasting my time. fools.
itachi - i underestimated you. but i accounted for this weakness already. i am stronger than you. this means eventually i will find a weakness and exploit it. even if genjutsu won't work, ill simply force your eyes to open.
kabuto - with sage mode's incredible strength, good luck with that. the future is ever changing. it is like a river. put enough rocks into it, and the water will change course. honestly, its a very simple concept to understand. i have prepared immensely for this fight. but you came expecting an easy victory, and expecting your brother to stay behind like an obediant slave.
sasuke - !
kabuto - good...get angry. you'll need it.
itachi - hehe...
kabuto - whats so funny?
itachi - but i CAN move.
itachi activates susano and frees himself from the chains.

583 - The Ultimate Battle.
kakashi - thanks inoichi. now we just have to hold on a bit longer till the others get here.
naruto - im guessing the masked man heard it too.
tobi - you've had your fun but the fight ends here. even though you have that power, i have even more power.
naruto - kakashi sensei, i need some time for bijuu mode to reactivate. then we can finish the masked bastard!
kakashi - roger. gai, with me.
bee - i'll stall him too!
hachibi - naruto, im almost out of chakra. this will be our last chance.
naruto - be careful of the rinnegan guys! he will absorb your attacks!
tobi - come now naruto. i can do much more than that.
naruto - i've fought nagato so you should be the same as him right?
tobi - i GAVE nagato the rinnegan.
naruto - what...?!
kakashi - dont listen to him naruto! here we go!
gai - afternoon tiger!
blue sweat pours from his body.
tobi - what the..!
there is a huge explosion. tobi gets up, pissed.
tobi - that wasn't funny. if i hadnt gone from trying to absorb it to slipping through it it would have been very bad for me.
kakashi goes in for taijutsu with raikiri. tobi turns and swings his warfan in a wide arc.
tobi - get out of my way, insect. wind release: great hurricane jutsu!
kakashi turns into a lightning clone, but the battlefield behind him is devastated.
naruto - what a jutsu...
tobi - this fan of mine, is unique. it can produce any jutsu it wants once i've seen it once, and incorporated it into its design. madara used it to counter hashirama's wood techniques. it enabled him to save chakra without resorting to susano in each battle he had with him.
the real kakashi suddenly bursts from underground to try and land a hit on tobi.
tobi - shinra tensei!
kakashi - s-shit!
he is blasted away. gai catches him, and sets him down.
gai *sorry kakashi. looks like your finally out of chakra. but at least you wont have to see me do this*
naruto - *just a bit longer. gai sensei is preparing one last attack, and my bijuu mode hasnt recharged yet. until it does i cant help them. i need to stall for more time. get him talking*
naruto - what do you mean you gave nagato rinnegan? what is he to you?
tobi - you'll know soon enough if you can take my mask off.
naruto - bastard. stop talking in riddles!
tobi - dont rely on your preconceptions. a lot of things you think you know arent true at all. like who i am for instance. madara was not the only powerful uchiha at the founding of konoha. nor was he acting on his own. i should know. he taught me everything.
tobi raises his hands.
tobi - this war ends today!
gai - yes it does!
tears flow from his cheeks, as he looks upon tobi and the defeated kakashi. he flashes back to lee training.
lee - i will be a splendid ninja even if it costs me my life!
gai *eight celestial gates: eighth gate of death*
