Main Characters (4)
Summary
Sasuke throws his Susanoo at Danzō once more, and yet again the man seems to perish only to reappear somewhere else without a scratch. Even Amaterasu leaves him untouched. Watching closely, Tobi and Karin work to unravel the method, and they notice that the Sharingan set into Danzō's arm shut one by one with each escape. Danzō praises Sasuke, saying his command of Mangekyō Sharingan techniques has earned him the right to be called Itachi's brother. The reference to Itachi lights a fresh rage in Sasuke, hardening his resolve to cut Danzō down. Danzō weathers still more attacks, and then Itachi himself stands before him.
