Sasuke vs. Danzo continued.An eye for a life.Summary:Sasuke smashes Danzo ago with Susanoo and also burns Danzo with Amateratsu, but Danzo somehow survives each attack. On the sidelines, Karin wonders how Danzo's doing this since Danzo doesn't seem to be using clones or genjutsu, while Madara notes that Sasuke is going run out of chakra if he keeps using Susanoo and Amateratsu. In a change of strategy, Sasuke summons a large eagle as his mount. While Sasuke readies to attack, Karin watches Danzo from behind and notices one of the eyes on Danzo's arm closing. Sasuke charges at Danzo, and Danzo forces Sasuke to jump off the eagle with a fuuton. Sasuke and Danzo collide into each other with Danzo grabbing Sasuke's neck, but Sasuke uses his chakra blade to sever Danzo's left arm. The arm falls to the ground and another one of the Sharingans closes before the arm completely disappears, and Danzo quickly reappears on a nearby column. Switching strategies once again, Sasuke hits Danzo with Tsukuyomi and Danzo sees Itachi appearing behind him.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~A few of us was expecting that this fight devolve into a genjutsu showdown, but that didn't happen in this chapter (until perhaps the end). With Karin and Madara around, it's probably difficult for Danzo to use genjutsu or clones without being noticed, so good ol' Danzo is using some other technique that keeps him alive despite being burned and crushed by Sasuke. The number of open eyes on Danzo's left arm seem to indicate how many "lives" Danzo has left, so Sasuke will probably win if he can kill Danzo enough times. Danzo probably has some other attack up his sleeve though (other than using kunais and fuutons).At the end, Sasuke has laid down the gauntlet and (I presumed) called upon Tsukuyomi. Let see if now this fight will devolve into a genjutsu match. Is it better to have a pair of really sharp of eyes, or lots of not as sharp eyes?
