Re: Naruto Manga 578 Discussion and 579 Predictions
1
Chapter starts with Sasuke and Itachi looking bizzare at Kabuto's transformation
Itachi: Sasuke, it's only logical to assume he's above the level of Orochimaru. You may have my eyes, but tread carefully.
Sasuke: Hmm. Because I have your eyes I feel like I need to test them on a stronger opponent.
Kabuto: Well come along then, I'm right----
All of the sudden Anko comes from behind and Holds a kunai up to his neck
Itachi and Sasuke: !
Kabuto: What? How? I injected you with my venom,,,you should be paralyzed fora least another day...
Anko; Did you forget that I have Orochimaru's cells within me as well? That doesn't work on me.
Kabuto: So this entire time....you were playing possum?
Anko: Only until someone would eventually show up. I never expected it to be Itachi Uchiha and Sasuke Uchiha...but oh well.
Kabuto: Like a true Anbu black ops...trained very well.
Anko: Enough talk! What are you waiting for! Use your tsukyomi on him!
Itachi: Already on it.
Itachi closes his eyes
Kabuto smirks
Itachi: Tsukyomi!
Kabuto: Gah...blurry vision....numbness...amazing.
Kabuto is held on the cross and Itachi surrounds him with many swords.
Itachi: Unless you want to endure 72 hours of non stop brutal pain, I suggest telling me how to cancel the jutsu.
Kabuto: Hehe...well first...
Suddenly Anko is grabbed by her heals by Kabuto using chakra scalpels.
At the same time Kabuto launches a sword out of his mouth at Itachi.
Sasuke: !? Sasuke deflects it
After that A snake ceoms from the ground and bites Itachi on his neck
Itachi: Urgh...What?
Kabuto pops out from underground
Sasuke: What the hell is going on?
Kabuto: I made spare clones of myself and hid them underground.
Sasuke: Why didn't Itachi's Tsukyomim work?
Kabuto's Ass snake appears.
Kabuto: This snake shares a different brain, but it's connected to mine. unlike jinchuriki, who can't react to the timing of Tsukyomi, my snake can snap me out of it the moment I'm put into it. In other words, Genjutsu doesn't work on me. Period.
Itachi collapses to the ground and loses his sharingan.
Itachi: A venom...that interrupts my chakra control.....
Anko collapses as the clone turns to many snakes.
Kabuto: Two down, one to go.
Chapter end

"dammit, you are a slippery one, Mr. No one!"
His leg goes through him but tries to strike him with a spinning back fist.*
As he blocks, Tobdara, "a buffoon such as you cannot hope to defeat me!"
Tobdara is about to strike Gai, when...
"back off"
*
Naruto strikes him with a rasengan that sends him flying , he would have struck a rock wall but phased through it.
Naruto, {Dad, you beat him last time, this time I will... For good!} "come on, I thought you were untouchable!"
We see Naruto eyes go Sage/Fox.
We focus on Itachi *& Sasuke facing Kabuto.
"multiple snake strike!"
Several snakes try to seem around the two striking at them, they are dodging an Sasuke is slicing them.

Kabuto, "what? It can't be."
Sasuke sending a Chidori current his way, "pay attention!"
Itachi, *"great fireball jutsu: mini bullets...be cares ful, not to kill him."
The flame bullets strike all the snakes an cause Kabuto to back up and find shelter.

Raikage is fighting all of his with speed and powerful kicks an punches. He is being blocked but others but they still have effect, knocking them around.
Tsunade, { just as I thought they can't all equal the original in jutsu or power levels. Naruto looks like u still hold the title for best clones.}
"this what you become ? A bully, or a puppet for someone else? You are the cofounder of the Lead village, the greatest hidden village in the ninja world!"
She strikes the ground getting them off balance them she take our one of he clones with a thunderous blow.
It does not regenerate.
Itachi is now using Susan'oo to attack *Kabuto as he is doing everything he can to dodge both brother attacks.*
Itachi corners him and begins to strike him when...
"dammit, do it now you idiot! I can't believe you were my student!"
Kabuto does hand signs, "edo tensei, cancel!"
Suddenly.*
We see everyone standing looking at Kabuto, nothing really happened, or was genjutsu.
Sasuke, "do you have it?"
Itachi, " yes, now I shall have a talk with you but let's make it brief."
we see Hinata fighting zesty and winning, then We see a Naruto clone a few feet from her as well as Neji. They ate fighting doubles of various ninja when suddenly we see a close up of Naruto's eyes(Sage Mode).
He grabs Neji and Hinata and jumps up.*
A tremendous crash occurs , it is the wood jutsu tearing through ALL the Zetsu.
As they land ...
Naruto, "wow that was close I could feel the massive chakra build up and the malicious intent, but.."
Edo-Madara, " calm yourselves children I mean you no harm at the moment."
Neji is in a defensive stance, " who are you, I do not recognize you, wait the valley.."
Naduto(clone), *" it's the real Madara, if you are here then, the Kages?"
Madara, " are fighting my clones, child. You are the Uzumaki child are you not? You two are of the Hyuuga clan."
Naruto, " what of it? What do u want?"
Edo-Madara, " I see that the Uzumski clan, Hyuga Clan all the 5 Hidden Villages have a generation involved, I was wondering...where are the Uchiha Clan in this War?"
Naruto, "what, you don't know?"
Madara, " know what? I will be able to know if you lie, clone or real doesn't matter."
Hinata, "Sasuke Uchiha is the last living Uchiha."
Neji, " he was the only surviving member of the Uchiha Massacre, ten years ago."
Edo-Madara is shocked, "what?"
We see that Raikage and Tsunade both have their fist thru us chest from the back. Onoki *is on their joined shoulders, Mei is beside Gaara on a sand cloud.
They all look beaten up and tired except Tsunade and Gaara.
Naruto, "Grandma and Grandpa!"*

Brothers in Arms
*Scene shows Itachi glaring at Kabuto with his MS. The next panel shows Kabuto on the cross, with Itachi standing before him.*
Itachi: Why are you after Sasuke?
Kabuto hissing: No reason in particular…. kukukukuuu.
Itachi: You have no power here Kabuto. You would do well not to mock me.
Kabuto: Itachi… I told you, there is no weakness, nor risk to my jutsu. I have perfected what Orochimaru himself, one of the legendary sannin, could not. Even the creator of this jutsu didn’t achieve this level.
*Thousands of Itachis appear with their swords ready to be thrust into Kabuto. The next panel shows a body with several swords in his midsection. The next panel zooms out and shows Itachi on the cross*
Itachi grimacing: But how…..
Kabuto: Like I said, no weaknesses. I just wasn’t talking about my Edo Tensai. I was talking about me. As long as I have my queen…..
*Panel focuses on Anko’s body*
Kabuto: I am indestructible.
Itachi: Then humor me with one question.
Kabuto hisses: Hmmmm…. ok.
Itachi: What if a soul can’t be resurrected?
Kabuto: Kukukukuuu… ah yes. There is one hiccup…. for now. But once I have your brother, that will no longer be there.
Itachi: He is capable, you know.
Kabuto: Of what?
Itachi: Killing you.
Kabuto smirks: As I said…. I’m indestructible.
Itachi: You are indeed formidable.
*Itachi appears infront of Kabuto with a sword thrust into his body*
Itachi: As I said, this is my realm!!!
*Scene switches back to the cave showing Sasuke watching Itachi and Kabuto. Sasuke gets into a battle stance.*
Sasuke thinking: Such power. Who is this that I feel?
*Scene switches to Naruto and Tobi.*
Tobi thinking: Just what do you have up your sleeve you naïve embicile?
Naruto talking to Kurama: Kurama, what about Shukaku?
Kurama: What about him?
Naruto: I meant what I said about all of you, including him.
Kurama: Him….. hmmmf…. He’s in that statue Naruto. I can sense him.
*Scene shows a dark panel with the shadow of Shukaku roaring like crazy.*
Naruto: Think we can do it?
Kurama: That’s up to you Naruto.
*Panel focuses on the Hachibi in thought*
Gyuuki in thought: What is this feeling coming from Naruto? Could it be?
Gyuuki in conversation with Kurama: So Naruto it is?!
Kurama: Yeah, all of us believe so.
*Panel switches to KillerBee*
Bee: You think he can do dis, eighto?
Gyuuki: Bee, I think it is time.
Bee: Time for what?
Gyuuki: For you to know my name. We’ve been through a lot. I do think it’s time that you learned a few things.
Next time: Bee’s History Lesson
History’s Mistakes Are Not Repeated
*Scene shows Naruto and Tobi in battle stances, while KillerBee is down on a bended knee*
Gyuuki: But before your lesson, we need to get those two to safety.
*Close up of Kakashi and Guy*
KillerBee: Aight!
*Next panel shows KillerBee sprout two octopus arms and pull Kakashi and Guy away from the battlefield*
Guy: But we can’t leave Naruto.
Kakashi: Guy…. just wait. Can’t you sense it?
Guy: What…..
*Guy’s facial expression goes serious as he looks at Naruto*
Guy: Impossible. How can he…. after that?
*Guy points to the craters. Scene switches to KillerBee and Gyuuki’s conversation.*
Gyuuki: We were told by our sempai that one would come who would lead us down the right path. For years we wandered the lands, some of us losing ourselves temporarily. And then you add a person’s fear and how they reacted to us, we lashed out in anger, because we were once loved.
KillerBee: Gettin’ all mushy on me, huh?!
Gyuuki: Bee, you cannot be replaced in my heart, but Naruto is going to lead us. Follow him.
*Scene switches to Tobi. He grabs Madara’s fan and swings it ferociously, sending a wave of wind that is creating a dust storm. Naruto braces himself as he is hit with the brunt force of the wind. Kakashi, Guy, and KillerBee are all pushed back a little bit by the force.*
Tobi: hmmmpf… so much fun.
*Scene switches to KillerBee*
Bee: So what’s gonna happen?
Gyuuki: I don’t know. I just know that it is what I must do…. you was well.
*Scene switches back to Tobi*
Tobi: Let’s see you handle this.
*Tobi gets a double-handed grip on the fan and starts to swing it*
Tobi yells just before he finishes swinging fan: SHINRA TENSAI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
*Once again Naruto takes the full brunt force of the jutsu, this time Kakashi and Guy are blown away grabbing onto each other and Bee trying not to get blown away*
Naruto yelling: Is that all you got? You will not harm me, or my comrades. We will defeat you.
Tobi in thought: Amazing. Just what happened to him?
Naruto: I learned 7 new names today…
*Scene shows KillerBee putting his hand on Naruto’s shoulder*
Bee: Make it 8!
*Scene shows Gyuuki and Naruto fist bumping in Gyuuki/Naruto’s subconscious.*

Kabuto: I am immune to all sharingan techniques. Even the Mangekyou sharingan techniques.

Kabuto:!!!! Interesting
Anko:ugh ahh[Meaning she is starting to regain some conciousness.]
Scene switches to Kage fight.
*Gaara makes a giant sand Tsunami*
Gaara: I shall not lose this battle!
*The sand tsunami goes straight to the clones but it is not shown if it hits as it switches to a other Kage*
*A is going V2*
A:Madara you dare test my anger!
*A takes off his robe and goes straight for the clones but again it shifts to a other Kage*
*Scene goes to the Mei*
Mei: I assure you one thing Madara. This battle will end one way and trust me. We wont die!
*Mei spits out acid mist though the scene shifts to a other kage.*

*Back to Sasuke and Itachi*
Kabuto: I get it now. You still did not master the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan.
Sasuke: Shut up!
*Sasuke rushes Kabuto*
Itachi: Sasuke dont

Anko:[Sh..shit cant breathe]

Chapter 579: Brothers Till The End
Side Text-Together they stand, to fight a fight unlike any other.
*Chapter starts with Sasuke and Itachi standing next to each other*
Itachi: He truly inherited everything that Orochimaru had...
*Page goes to Kabuto with his Snakes and creep tongue*
Itachi: Even that long grotesque tongue.
Itachi(Thinking): That women...she's Anko. Kabuto must be using her for something, I'll have to get her out of her without her seeing me...
*Close up on Anko, her eyes open a little*
Anko(Thinking): Whe...where am I...! Itachi...Sasuke...and Kabuto?! Wha...what's going on here? The way Itachi looks...he's and Edo Tensei but why...why is he fighting Kabuto? I can barely move and even if I could...what could I possible do in this situation...
Kabuto: Well then...shall we start, kukuku.
Itachi: Remember Sasuke, don't kill him, he needs to be alive so I can stop Edo Tensei.
Sasuke: I know!
Anko(Thinking): Did I just hear him right? He plans to stop Kabuto and stop Edo Tensei...but why...I'll stay quiet for now and see where this goes...
Kabuto: COME AND GET ME KUKUKU!!!
*Scene changes to Muu*
Muu: !
*Muu stops running*
Genma: Look he stopped running!
Muu: I have control over my body again...
Genma: Don't bother running again, your time ends here.
Muu: ...That's fine by me.
Genma and the others: !?
Raido: What's your game here!? You were just running from us a moment ago and now you're just going to give up?
Muu: That wasn't me...I was being controlled, frankly I see no reason for me to continue, I have barely any chakra left to fight anyways. Besides...seeing Onoki fight with the other villages...and to know he's doing this all for peace...he made me see what's important.
*Muu turns around slowly*
Muu: Too pass your will onto the next generation.
Genma and the others: !!!
Muu: Now hurry up and seal me!
Genma: Right!
*Scene changes to Kages vs Edo Madara Clones*
Tsunade: Unbelievable!
Gaara: There's no end to his power...
Mei: We must not give up...
Killer A: We'll fight till the very end!
Onoki: That is our duty as the Kages, but more importantly...as Shinobi!
*Edo Madara looks down in disgust*
Edo Madara: They are starting to get on my nerves...if I must...I'll use "that" on them to end this for good.
*Scene changes to Itachi and Sasuke vs Kabuto*
Kabuto: Kukuku, you're both strong, but with the powers I got from Orochimaru I'm even stronger!!!
Sasuke: I defeated Orochimaru once before...
Itachi: And I've defeated him three time before, what makes you think this time will be any different?
Kabuto: Because...I'm even stronger then Orochimaru himself!
Sasuke: ?!
*Kabuto changes into that weird looking form he was in before*
Kabuto: YOU WONT DEFEAT ME SO EASILY!!!
*Snakes come pouring out of the walls and floor and everything*
Sasuke: ?!
Itachi: Sasuke!
*Sasuke is wrapped up by all the Snakes*
Kabuto: I'd think twice before making a move now Itachi...wouldn't want your brother to "accidentally" be strangled to death, kukuku
Itachi: Rgh...
Anko(Thinking): That jutsu...it couldn't be!
Sasuke: Argh!!!
Kabuto: This jutsu is very special, it like Edo Tensei, has no weakness. It will keep hold of my target and choke the life out of them as well as prevent them from using any jutsus, I can stop it whenever you'd like...just give yourself up to save your brother.
Itachi: !
Kabuto: You're already dead, so you're not really losing anything. You have wagered Sasuke's life greater then the leaf village before, but is his life greater then the entire world to you, hmm? KUKUKU!!!
Anko(Thinking): What did he say?
Itachi: ...
Kabuto: That's right, I know all about the secrets behind the Uchiha massacre. The entire world sees you as a bloodthirsty monster who killed his clan for no reason, little do they know it was all part of the higher ups plan to stop the Uchiha from doing a Coup d'état.
Anko(Thinking): Impossible!
Kabuto: YOU DIDN'T EVEN KILL ANY OF THEM IT WAS ALL MADARA'S DOING! KUKUKU!!!
Itachi: !
Sasuke: !?
Anko(Thinking): I can't believe this...everything about Itachi...was a lie?
Kabuto: Now hurry up Itachi...will you give up your life for your brother, or give up his life from the world? It's your choice, kukuku.
End Text: An impossible decision.

The Battles Intensify
Kabuto: Kukuku Well, my luck has finally begin to shine. I guess its time I summoned them ...
Itachi: ?!?!
*Kabuto performs Edo Tensei and two Edo Tensei appear*
Sasuke: Mother, Father ?!!
Itachi: .... I knew this would happen. You are planning to use Mother and Father to distract Sasuke, I won't let that happen.
Mikoto: Sasuke kun ... Yo...You've Grown ...
Fuguku: Sasuke ... there's something I've always wanted to tell you ..
Sasuke: I've grown strong Dad, you would be proud of me.
Kabuto: Kuku
*Kabuto summons Manda V2*
Itachi: ?!
*Sasuke is fixated on the parents*
Fuguku: Itachi, are you ... dead?
Itachi: ...
Mikoto: What happened?
Sasuke: I KILLED HIM !!
Mikoto/Fuguku: You did that?!?! To defeat Itachi, you ...
*Sasuke activates EMS*
Mikoto/Fuguku/Itachi/Kabuto: ?!?!
Sasuke: SO WHAT DO YOU THINK OF ME NOW FATHER?
Fuguku/Mikoto: ?!!?
Mikoto: Sasuke kun, you were so innocent, you have become such a villian.
Fuguku: Do you know what happened that night?
Sasuke: Tell me everything!
*Meanwhile, Manda V2 blurts out poisen directed towards Itachi. Itachi jumps away only to be stabbed by a Kabuto clone emerging from the Shadows*
Itachi: ?!! Impossible, why could I not see that with my eyes?
Kabuto: That clone is chakraless. Its undetectable!
Itachi: ?!
Kabuto: Itachi, I planned for all of this kukukuku. The kunai I have just stabbed you with contains a poisen which stops the chakra flow towards a body. Since the Edo Tensei is powered by Natural energy surrounding them, you can absorb none of that now! Kukuku
Itachi: So that's the real weakness ...
Kabuto: Its simple really. This was the only way for me to stop you. As you see, you are out of my control and thus I do not have a direct link with you. It is a result of that, that I have to deactivate you manually. With the others, I simply perform *this* handseal and their bodies immediatly stop taking in Natural energy and thus they begin to wither away ... kukukuku
*Itachi begins to fall and is unable to move, meanwhile, Sasuke has been seperated and is speaking to Fuguku and Mikoto*
Fuguku: The Uchiha have been the dogs of the Senju ever since the start. As the head of the clan, I wanted to change all of this. It was thus that I invested so much time in Itachi. I really thought he was going to carry this clan forward.
Sasuke/Mikoto: ...
Fuguku: My intial ambitions were to have Itachi become Hokage!
Sasuke: ?!
Fuguku: By becoming Hokage, our name would have been uplifted. The Uchiha would be considered the greatest and would be considered equal to the Senju. However, a man by the name of Uchiha Shisui was the ruin of all of this.
Sasuke: ?!
Fuguku: Shisui was kind and a generous Shinobi. He wanted to the Uchiha to live prosperously with the village. His intentions were my own. However, he began to change.
Sasuke: ??
Fuguku: We realized that he was being controlled and it was through him that the Uchiha clan were controlled as well - It was the masked man with the Sharingan.
Sasuke:!?!!
Fuguku: A mass manipulator taking advantage of the hatred within human beings. He controlled us and made us think that war was the only option, that Uchiha was superior to all else and that everything else was destined to be our slaves. Itachi was the only one left uncontrolled. Upon death I realize that he approached Itachi. He had bigger plans. It was all an illusion. He did not care about the Uchiha at all. He wanted our eyes. He approached Itachi and offered him the change to kill all the Uchiha. In turn, the pride of the Uchiha would be spared and he would benefit from obtaining our eyes. A shinobi must make decisions. Itachi sacrificed the Uchiha for our legacy but it seems he was unable to kill you.
Sasuke: ...
Fuguku: Sasuke, I said that there was something I wanted to tell you at the start.
Sasuke: ....
Fuguku: I'm proud of you son ....
Sasuke: ?!!
Fuguku: You must restore our honor!
Mikoto/Sasuke: ...
Scene swites to Kabuto/Itachi:
Kabuto: Its all over for you Uchiha Itachi. Kukuku
Itachi: ...
Itachi: No. Its over for you.
Kabuto: ?!?! What's going on ...
Scenary begins to shake. Sasuke falls to ground unconcious.
Kabuto: ?!?!?!
Itachi: You were under my genjutsu for the entire time as was Sasuke.
Kabuto: ??!!!
Itachi: I knew that you were planning on summoning Mother and Father. However, before you did so, I placed you under a genjutsu. I played out the scenario of you summoning them. I then played a scenario of me and Sasuke getting seperated. You couldn't even tell you were under an illusion. You have also told me how to stop Edo Tensei. To stop the natural energy absorption.
Kabuto: You bastard! ...
Itachi/Kabuto: !!!!
Orochimaru is behind Itachi smiling devilishly.
Orochimaru: Finally, I'm free ....
END

Super Smash Bros.
(Kabuto grins menacingly. He extends his arms and many serpents come slithering out of his sleeves, rapidly, towards Sasuke and Itachi.)
Sasuke: “I’ll make some room.”
(Sasuke makes a few handseals and expels several flaming, great dragon projectiles, which destroys the immediate roof, Itachi then jumps into the space Sasuke provided and performs a spinning maneuver while raining down kunai into the snakes’ heads with deadly precision.
Meanwhile, Sasuke withdraws his katana and uses a body flicker to close the distance between himself and Kabuto. As Sasuke begins to swing his blade diagonally, Kabuto’s tail coils around Anko, lifting her up, and using her as a shield. Sasuke pauses for a split second, but smiles.)
Sasuke: “You think this this leaf trash is enough to stop me!” (Itachi shouts out.)
Itachi: “Sasuke!” (Itachi instantly closes the gap and restrains Sasuke from proceeding with the assault. Kabuto opens his mouth and the Kusanagi blade instantly pierces Sasuke’s left shoulder, before it can go any further, Sasuke's partial Susano-o snaps the blade. Itachi and Sasuke retreat to further distances. Sasuke painfully removes the blade embedded in his shoulder. )
Sasuke: “What the hell is wrong with you!? I had a clear shot!”
Itachi: “Have you sunk so low that you’d cut to her to get to him?”
Sasuke: “She’s leaf scum, but besides, no one gets in my way, can’t believe you had me fall for Kabuto’s trap!”
Itachi: “It's better to say I fell for it. Kabuto knows how I am, how I wouldn’t let you kill her. Facing a strategist under Orochimaru’s tutelage requires a different sort of approach. That attack you pulled was a sound one, but not the just one.”
(Sasuke snickers while Kabuto laughs and taunts the two.)
Kabuto: “Ku, ku, ku. I bet that hurt didn’t it, Sasuke… Oh how easy it would have been for you if we had teamed up, too bad, so sad, HAAAH!” (Sasuke reactivates his PMS. In an instant, Kabuto’s body is engulfed in black flames, as Anko’s body hits the ground unscathed as Kabuto is preoccupied with sizzling.)
Sasuke: “Hmph!” (Kabuto writhes in pain and then collapse over, seconds later Kabuto sheds the flaming shell and slithers to a new direction in a most unholy form, moving at fast speeds.)
Itachi: “Orochimaru’s substitution, the one you used in our battle to escape Amaterasu.”
Sasuke: “He should be weakened from such expenditure. (Itachi uses his Amaterasu to target the slithering Kabuto, however Kabuto’s too fast in his snake form and effortlessly slides out of the way, causing the Amaterasu to strike a wall. Sasuke targets the new space Kabuto moves to with Amaterasu, but to no avail, Kabuto bypasses it again, which causes Amaterasu to strike a pillar. Sasuke then notices something off about his own health. Sasuke grabs his injured shoulder and takes a knee.)
Itachi: “Sasuke?”
Sasuke: “Damn it, it feels as though my whole body is numbing. This feeling, I know it all too well.” (Sasuke has a flash back to when he was under paralysis due to the fumes emitting from the carcass of Orochimaru’s white snake form. With not a moment to spare, Kabuto comments on Sasuke’s situation.)
Kabuto: “Poor, poor Sasuke. That blade you were injected with was coated with the same paralysis agent that was embodied within Orochimru’s true form. At best, you have about 10 minutes before you succumb to complete immobility. From there, I’ll have my way with you as I see fit, what a delight this shall be!” (Kabuto licks his face with his long, fat tongue.)
Itachi: “Disturbing, I apologize, Sasuke.”
Sasuke: “It’s water under the bridge now, we’ll just take this sick ****er out before that time comes!”
Itachi: “Well said. You attack from long range so your body doesn’t readily spread the toxin while I’ll engage him from up close.” (As Itachi turns to face Kabuto, Kabuto regenerates his legs and torso, giving him a form to combat in. Itachi and Kabuto now stand face to face.)
Kabuto: “I’ve always wanted to match my skills up against one of the Uchiha’s prodigies. Unfortunately for you, I know many ways to break the sharingan.”
Itachi: “A once master of yours mentioned the same, yet fail victim to these eyes twice. Choose your words selectively, please.”
Kabuto: “Oh, you, if only I didn’t realize where Orochimaru sensei went wrong, fortunately for me, I’ve done my homework!”
Itachi: “We’ll see if it pays off.” (Kabuto spits out Orochimaru’s trademark blade into his right palm. Kabuto attacks first with a downward slash, Itachi quickly withdraws two Kunai, one it each hand and crosses them over each other, giving him enough leverage to hold Kabuto’s sword in place.
From further away, Sasuke uses Chidori Eisou, Kabuto hears the chirping of the oncoming attack, so he uses two hands on his hilt and overpowers Itachi, knocking him back. Kabuto then flips out of the way of the extend Chidori. Sasuke isn’t finished; he tosses two large shuriken towards Kabuto’s location. Kabuto spots them and dodges to the side left, however, they are still chasing him. Kabuto notices that Sasuke has rigged them with metallic sting and is controlling them. While Kabuto is dashing, Itachi manages to intercept him and is heading right at him. If matters didn’t get any worse for the Kabuto, the two shuriken then reveal an extra hidden Shuriken underneath as they separate and form into a horizontal line. Sasuke then manages to split each of the four shuriken into just blades, and direct each of the blades at Kabuto, for a total of 16 projectile blades. Kabuto takes a quick look backwards and spots many sharp projectiles heading his way from the rear, and then notices Itachi nearing him.
As Itachi and the blades get within feet of Kabuto. Kabuto bites his finger and rubs a seal on his wrist and palms the ground, causing an abundance of smoke, instantly, the cave starts to collapse. As the smoke clears, Kabuto can be seen atop Manda Version 2. Manda has a bruise from the exploding shadow clone of Itachi, and is also impaled all over in one spot Sasuke’s attack.)
Kabuto: “An exploding shadow clone that Itachi, I wonder when he had a time to pull that one… A close one, but now, the real game begins. Don’t try control this one boys, I’ve enhanced its sense of smell, but not at all ineffective against you, ku, ku, ku!”
Next Time: Kabuto ups the ante.

Itachi: I'll stop every 2 hours and see if you feel like talking.
Kabuto: WAIT! I'LL TELL YOU!
Itachi: In two hours...
Kabuto: AGHHH!
Madara: I never imagined the future to be full of tedious weaklings.
Tsunade: We stand upon the shoulders of our ancestors... we have risen above their strength!
Madara: No... the first Raikage, Mizukage, Kazekage, and Tsuchikage were... more...
Tsunade: !?
Madara: Kukuku, Hashirama and myself actually had fun dancing with them...
Ōnoki: It's a sad thing to see an old man underestimate the power of youth...
Madara: !!!!? FAST!
Gai: Gedō Mazō and the masked man have been off paneled by me. You're next.
Madara: You have a magnificent smile, warrior... it reminds me of Hashirama...
Madara: I'm going to enjoy wiping it off your face.
Tsunade: Gai! He's too strong! Where is Naruto?
Gai: He died. They're all dead. But don't worry... because of their sacrifice, I ascended...
Kages: !??
Gai: I've discovered the 9th Gate.
Madara: !!??
Gai: Observe... AHHH! AHHHHH!
Madara: What? Blonde hair... green eyes... what a beast.
Gai: Behold... the power of youth!
Kabuto: FUUUCKK! How long has it been!
Itachi: You've experienced four minutes of repeated tongue-cutting.
Kabuto: SHIT! Really?
Itachi: Time really drags when you're being tortured, I hear.
Kabuto: AGGGHHH!
Naruto: Sasuke...
Itachi: !?
Sasuke: !?
Sasuke: Naruto? What?
Naruto: I'm sorry, Sasuke.
Sasuke: Why are you... what are you? A ghost?
Naruto: Haha, no. Well, sort of.
Sasuke: !!??
Naruto: I am one with the force now.
Itachi: Ah, because of you were in perfect harmony with natural energy.
Naruto: Yes, okay, ****, Itachi, can you ever shut up and let me know something?
Itachi: Sorry.
Naruto: Whatever. Yes, Sasuke, I was one with the force in death, so I'm here now.
Sasuke: Why?
Naruto: To help you.
Sasuke: With Kabuto? He's been defeated by Tsukuyomi. He can't even move.
Naruto: Oh.
Sasuke: Yeah...
Naruto: Well, I'll catch you later.
Mei: He can fly too!
Tsunade: Yes, it's a power of the Rinnegan...
Madara: IZZZZ! AAAAAH! NAAAA! MAAAAII!
Raikage: Look at the size of that jutsu! What is it?
Gaara: It appears to be a sphere of darkness...
Madara: Kukuku, impressed? With this, I can destroy all creation.
Gai: ... the power of your eyes is great... a true gift of genius...
Madara: Kukukuku, I am a descendent of the original sage...
Madara: And now... I can undo his mistake... and purify this pitiful existence.
Gai: No.
Madara: HAHAHA! Die now, knowing that my body can survive in space!
Gai: KAAAA! MAAAAI! HAAAA! MAAAAI! HAAAA!
Madara: !!!!? What?
Gai: DIE, MADARA!
Madara: IMPOSSIBLE! WHERE COULD THIS POWER BE COMING FROM?
Gai: You'll never hurt my friends as long as I'm here.
Madara: ahhh... friendship... well, Hashi... it seems you were right in the end...
Madara: My body is disintegrating... I wonder if I'll go where he goes...
Naruto: I'm here to help!
Gai: Whoa! Naruto! What are you? A ghost!?
Naruto: No, haha. I'm part of the force! Believe it!
Gai: Well, I finished Madara, so...
Naruto: Wow, Gai! You've really proven that hard work can surpass Namikaze and Uchiha genes!
Gai: Heh.
Mei: His smile really is magnificent...
Kabuto: Thank god it's over...
Itachi: Now, I'll control you to undo Edo Tensei.
Kabuto: It's okay. I'll just undo it.
Itachi: Wow, that's really nice of you.
Kabuto: Yeah, well.
Itachi: Is there any way I can make up to you?
Kabuto: No, the only person I've ever loved has been taken from me.
Itachi: ...
Kabuto: And only now do I realize that hollow ambition is no substitute... for love.
Itachi: I think I can help...
Kabuto: !!!??
Itachi: this is the sword of Totsuka. With it, you will be sealed in a genjutsu of eternal bliss.
Kabuto: ... it won't be bliss for me...
Itachi: Orochimaru will be there.
Kabuto: ... Thank you, Itachi. I love you.
Sasuke: Shit, Itachi. He didn't undo Edo Tensei.
Itachi: Oh, ****.
Sasuke: No, it's better this way. Now you can stay here forever, with me.
Itachi: Yeah, okay. Lets go find ghost-Naruto and get some ramen.
Sasuke: BELIEVE IT!
Ramen Guy: I always knew you would get here one day, son. You're a superguy now.
Gai: Yes, father. I wouldn't have made it without you believing in me.
Itachi: Gai?
Gai: Itachi!? Sasuke!? If you've come to hurt Konoha, then prepare to be...
Naruto: No! Gai, it's okay. They defeated Kabuto, Konoha's last enemy.
Gai: Haha, nice! Well have some ramen, on me! Dad, take a seat too, please!
Ramen Guy: Well, I don't know...
Gai: We're celebrating!
Ramen Guy: Haha, okay.
Gai: Hey, Naruto, could you get Kakashi here too?
Naruto: No... he wasn't one with the force, like me. Only sages can do it.
Gai: Ah, shoot. I'm sure he's happy though... wherever he is...
Kakashi: Obito...
Obito: Yes?
Kakashi: You were the masked man...
Obito: Yes.
Kakashi: Why?
Obito: Because **** rocks.
Gai: Hey, what about Jiraiya, Naruto?
Naruto: No, Jiraiya-sensei wasn't a perfect sage, like me.
Sasuke: But wasn't he like 50?
Naruto: Yeah, but he was a strong ninja still.
Gai: Who'd he beat again?
Naruto: err, I don't know. I only ever saw him fight armless Orochimaru.
Naruto: Oh, and me in the Yonbi state.
Sasuke: So why do you think he's strong?
Naruto: Dude, he could summon Gambabuta.
Gai: who did he beat?
Naruto: Well, nobody, technically.
Sasuke: So why is Jiraiya strong?
Naruto: Because of Yomi Numa!
Gai: lol, Naruto

579: Last of the Uchiha
Kabuto: I said I'm glad you came here, Sasuke-kun. Do you want to know why?
Sasuke: I don't care.
Kabuto: I'm going to tell you anyway. Sasuke-kun, you are not the last of the Uchiha.
Sasuke: ?!?
Kabuto: Don't be so surprised, Sasuke. In fact the Uchiha are very much alive.
Itachi: Stop bluffing. I killed them myself.
Kabuto: Did you? I thought you had help.
Itachi: ...
Kabuto: Did you know Itachi that the man you know as Uchiha Madara never harmed someone of his own clan? // In fact, all he did was steal their souls and place them inside himself, leaving nothing but corpses behind.
Sasuke: And why are you telling me this now?? The Uchiha are dead! All because of the Konoha elders!!
Kabuto: Heheheh. My dear Sasuke-kun. I'm telling you now because what Madara has been waiting for is none other than you.
Scene switch to Tobi.
Tobi: I'll see you later, little children.
Tobi vanishes from view.
Scene switch to Kabuto.
Tobi appears.
Tobi: Are they ready Kabuto?
Kabuto: They have been ready for a few hours... Tobi.
Tobi: Very well. Set plan 'B' into action now.
Itachi: What are you planning now, Madara?
Tobi: Oh? So you are here too, Itachi. I wonder how you regained control of yourself. // Never mind. Did you know that my name is not Madara?
Itachi: What?
Tobi: That's right, I fooled you the entire time. And just as I predicted, you lead Sasuke right into my trap. // Activate it NOW, Kabuto!!
Kabuto: You wish is my command, Tobi.
Kabuto makes a handseal.
Suddenly hundred of Uchiha appear out of nowhere. All of them have the EMS.
Tobi: Behold! The Uchiha clan! And they think that Uchiha Itachi killed them all! Oh, the irony.
Fugaku and Mikoto stand out from the crowd.
Fugaku: Why, Itachi? Why did you kill us.
Itachi: Because you were planning a coup.
Fugaku is confused.
Fugaku: There was never any coup. What are you talking about?
Mikoto:There must be a reason, dear. // Itachi, who were you hanging around before... before you killed us all?
He is silent as he realizes what happened.
Itachi: It was that man over there.
Tobi: Who, me? Whatever did I do?
Itachi: I should have seen this... Madara... you genjutsu'd me. You bastard, you're going to pay for this.
Tobi: I think this is the point where I take my leave.
Tobi disappears.
Kabuto: What do you think now, Sasuke-kun? Are you ready to massacre Konoha now?
Sasuke is silent.
Mikoto: Wait... Itachi... did you say he was Uchiha Madara?
Itachi: That's what I knew him by. Apparently he was fooling me.
Fugaku: Uchiha Madara died ages ago, son. I thought you knew that.
Itachi. I was lied to.
Sasuke: Just as you lied to me! Nii-san, what did you do??
Kabuto: I'd like to interject just a little... // That man, whom you call Madara... he goes by the name of Tobi... Although I am sure that is not his real name.
Itachi: Who is he?
Kabuto: My dear Itachi. If I knew, would I still be here talking to you?
Scene switch to Naruto.
Shikamaru arrives.
Shikamaru: Naruto! What happened?
Kakashi steps in front of Naruto.
Kakashi: I'll answer. Shikamaru, we just fought six Edo jinchuuriki and survived.
Naruto: That's right! And I wouldn't be able to do it without my good friend, Kurama!
Kakashi: Kurama? Who is Kurama?
Naruto: Don't tell me, Kakashi-sensei, that you don't know the name of the nine-tails?
Kakashi: !!!
The rest of the Konoha 11 arrive.
Shikamaru: Well this is an interesting development. No one to my knowledge has befriended the kyuubi before.
Naruto grins.
Naruto: Not except for Rikudou Sennin!
Hinata: Rikudou Sennin... my father talked about him... he's the origin of the three great doujutsu. Naruto-kun...
Naruto: We can talk about this later! Hey, Shikamaru, do you know what's happening to Tsunade baa-chan?
Shikamaru: She is still fighting the real Uchiha Madara.
Scene switch to Kages.
Madara: That didn't take long. I thought you kages would have put up more of a fight.
The kages are lying on the ground, bloodied and near death.
Madara gives them a harsh stare.
Madara: You should have known not to fight me. Me, who has the power of the Sage of Six Paths flowing through his veins!
Madara raises a hand in the air, his fist clenched.
Madara: Prepare yourselves.
Another Meteor falls from the sky!
Madara: Your game is over.
Next chap: Death awaits them!
