Chapter 478 sees Danzō pierce through Sasuke's illusion and taunt him, pushing the young Uchiha to fully manifest his Susanoo, while Danzō's uncanny survival hints at a stolen forbidden technique.
Main Characters (3)
Summary
Danzō sees through the apparition of Itachi as nothing more than Sasuke's genjutsu, a crude imitation that falls far below the elder brother's Tsukuyomi. He pins Sasuke down and mocks the effort openly. The insult stokes Sasuke's fury to the point that his Susanoo finally forms in complete shape.
Key Events
The manifested Susanoo looses an arrow at Danzō, who escapes only by drawing on the Wood Release granted by the Hashirama cells implanted in his body. Reasoning that such a hit should have killed him and left him exposed, Sasuke presses the assault again, yet Danzō once more appears to fall and then walks away intact. Observing the repeated resurrections, Tobi concludes that Danzō is relying on Izanagi.
