Naruto Chapter 388: Sasuke defeats Itachi’s Tsukuyomi

by jhay on February 9, 2008

Itachi_eyesThe latest Chapter in the Naruto Manga series has just been released and it shows whether Itachi has indeed succeeded in plucking one of Sasuke’s eyes. This is where the previous Chapter 387 left off; Itachi’s true plans were to keep Sasuke as a spare source of the Sharingan so that when his eyes are sealed away into blindness due to using the Mangekyou Sharingan, he could recover his eyesight and almost unlimited powers by taking Sasuke’s own eyes and transplanting it in him.

However, much like the great part of the Sasuke vs Itachi battles in this current loop of the manga series, Itachi plucking one of Sasuke’s eyes was just another illusion, a genjutsu, as this Chapter 388: The Gap Between Our Power (download) reveals. Though it wasn’t just an ordinary illusion, it was Itachi’s famed Tsukuyomi technique.

What is Tsukuyomi?

Good point rod. But let's remember that Kakashi himself was surprised and puzzled as to why he wasn't killed by Itachi's Tsukuyomi when they fought after Orochimaru's attack on Konoha.

The reason? Itachi's eyesight is already failing! And kakashi knew about this upon reflecting on that encounter. Itachi knew this as well that's why he didn't or wasn't able to use it during his second encounter with Kakashi back when they were off to rescue Gaara from Akatsuki.

You're right though that Sasuke has one heck of a surprise for Itachi and for all of us fans. I can't wait for the next manga chapter to come out!

Hope to hear from you again. :D

if kakashi survive the attack its definitely sasuke will survive the attack too. its obviously sasuke is more powerful than itachi now and i have this feeling that sasuke will suprise us by using some neo type mangekyou :D just a wild guess :D
