wow props to raikage, i dont usualy like brutes but hes the smartest one.He played to his strenths and developed effective techniques to best utalize his raw physical powers by creating an inpenetrable sheild and enhancing his attacks and speed at the same time.Typical of a brute to go ape crazy when faced with a genius.This fight is proof that sasuke learned from his killerbee fight tho rofl,he went in for the kill 'BUT' this time he had a contingency[back up] plan incase the beast somehow stops an unstopable attack [guess that makes it not' "unstopable"].Ill say this in sasukes defence, Raikage is a "man" that has powers to equal monsters and hes going all out fighting with full force and strenth from start to finish,what else can a guy do after he hits his opponent with moves that wud have killed anyone else, only option left is trump "cards" lol.It wuda been nice to c naruto face raikage and easily drop him wit a couple clones and a wind enhanced kunai [rasenshuriken uneccesary].B4 u all bash sasuke just think for a second and c if u think the fight wud have gone alot diffrent if it was itachi, im sure after raikage easily dodges a fire ball or 2, blades fail to injure him and clones only by "some" time and it seems genjutsu is useless [cuz sasuke wuda did what he did to killerbee to the raikage if genjutsu "cud" work], im sure itachi wud have ended up in the same "susano" situation only probly itachi wud have wasted a bit more time no offence to itachi as he was my fave b4 his death [r.i.p] now naruto is numero uno so no "i am not a sasuke fanboy", jus stating what i c.-btw- im hoping raikage didnt act a fool and realy give away his arm on a whim,i wud expect he used the arm brace to attack sasuke and will simply remove it to get rid of the flames-[raikage resembles a speedy jirobu imo "ELBOW!!" wow!!]
