Naruto Manga 480 Confirmed

Front cover is of Sasuke. Back is of Sasuke’s Susano’o.

If you close your eyes, hatred will always be there. Like an apparition, it will expand.

Chapter 480: Sacrifice

Simultaneously striking one another…but is Danzou’s body another illusion…!?

Madara (Sasuke’s power…this much huh?)

Karin (…!?)

Sasuke pierced by Danzou: Ugh…

Danzou, pierced by Sasuke: Too fast…eyes are still open…you will be going to see Itachi, and perhaps even good of you to hear his preaching…this is my win.

Karin (What’s going on!? …this feeling is…!)

Danzou: !!?

Sasuke looking downward: Haha

Danzou: …what’s…the meaning of this!? (Guh! …why won’t Izanagi start up!!?)

Sasuke’s right eye has Mangekyou activated.

Madara (Danzou…it’s as you said — the time Itachi could freely manipulate his genjutsu and Tsukiyomi — the difference is like between the heavens and earth…)

Danzou’s field of vision is blurred. His right arm’s eyes are closed.

Danzou: You…

Sasuke: The one meeting Itachi will be you…

Danzou falls to his knees.

Karin (As thought, it’s as I sensed. It was in fact Danzou’s real body!)

Madara (…Although it isn’t as strong, it was pivotal of him to use that genjutsu at that time…)

Danzou looks to be in a lot of pain.

Madara (Right before his body was pierced, the sharingan in his right arm all closed. Sasuke is of the Uchiha clan…and a shinobi possessing the Mangekyou…but Danzou with his observing eye…he is above you. In an instant he was faster than you in noticing…Sasuke cast a genjutsu on you, making you believe that your last eye on your right arm was still open. You used Izanagi on yourself without fulling knowing its effective time, checking it over and over to see if it was in effect. Sasuke didn’t miss that. Izanagi’s time of effectiveness has a small interval in between each use. Although he pretended to know the degree to which that was, he knew beforehand that even in an instant he would be able to cast a genjutsu. Don’t use that, that’s not Sasuke.)

Danzou’s checks his right shoulder: U..gh…

Madara: You were naiive in this battle of Sharingan because of all those Sharingan you’ve acquired…that’s the reason for you loss.

Sasuke: This is a fight I will recite to you with my eyes. Don’t underestimate the Uchiha.

Madara (Even without being able to use Shisui’s eye, Danzou did a good job of driving it this far….Sasuke, it seems like you’ll soon be able to take Shisui’s eyes for yourself. Root should have stayed hidden in the ground.)

Sasuke is about to collapse while Karin rushes over: Sasuke…!

Sasuke: Ku..ku…

Karin brings out her left arm: Here! Bite quickly!!

Madara: That girl…it was good to bring her here…she’s useful, and Sasuke specifically chose her as his favorite…

Sasuke biting.

Karin: Ahh…!

Danzou (I…! To this little…!! I will not die in a place like this!!!)


Suddenly Danzou’s right arm starts to become a tree.

Danzou: Guahhh!!!

Sasuke and Karin: !!?

Danzou (I won’t allow it!! At this rate I’ll be taken over by the Shodai’s cells.)

Danzou takes his right shoulder with his right arm.

Madara (Facing death, he’s losing control over his chakra…I won’t be able to easily control the strength of the pillars…)

Danzou, in front of Karin and Sasuke.

Karin: How persistent…this is some guy…!

Danzou takes the bandages off his right eye.

Danzou: Not yet…from here on out…with this eye…I will tell you how this fight will end.

Madara (The pupil in his right eye has returned huh…he covered with Izanagi while allowing Shisui’s eye to recover…so that was your play huh…)

Sasuke uses Chidori in his left hand, and thrusts at Danzou.

Danzou dodges, and takes Karin hostage.

Madara (Shisui’s pupil…it seems he plans to use it up as he did with Izanagi.)

Sasuke glares at Danzou.

Danzou: You’ve used your eye too much huh.

Karin: Sasuke…

Danzou (Sasuke can’t use it anymore…if I can use Shisui’s genjutsu to control him and get him to go after Madara, it would be more effecient considering the depth of these wounds.)

Madara (So then…Sasuke…what will you do?)

Sasuke: You who talked of self-sacrifice….to take a hostage.

Danzou: My..my life…I’m not sorry…it was for Konoha…for the ninja world…I won’t allow myself to die in a place like this…no matter whose hands…whatever I have to do…to live…I will…this shinobi’s…to become the reformer to change the world…this girl will be a sacrifice for that purpose.

Karin: Sasuke…help me!

Sasuke: Don’t move…Karin.

Danzou: …!

Sasuke activates Mangekyou in his left eye…with a scary face.

Sasuke uses a Chidori spear and stabs Karin along with Danzou.

Danzou’s back is pierced through.

Karin (Huh…)

Danzou: Guh…! (…the vitals of the hostage…)

Madara, smiling with his eyes: So its come to this…

Sasuke: Brother…this is the first…

Karin and achieving revenge!!

Sasuke, towards the darkness of reality…!!

The End

Naruto Chapter 480 Spoiler

Danzou vs. Sasuke
Danzou thinking: Only 5 seconds left

Danzou forces his wind blade deeper into Sasuke until he cuts him in two. Danzou’s final eye closes as he takes a quick step back.

Karin: Sasuke!!!!

Danzou looks at Madara & gets ready to go after him but suddenly stops.

Danzou: I can’t believe you figured out how to use Izanagi by simply fighting me…

Suddenly Sasuke is shown behind Danzou with s smirk on his face.

Sasuke: 30 seconds left


Sasuke suddenly dashes at Danzou & Danzou turns with his hand on his bandages & he starts to remove them but then suddenly stops. Out of no where Lee kicks Sasuke in the side of the head sending him flying into the air while Kiba & Akumaru both hit Sasuke mid air with their spinning move. Sasuke’s body appear heavily damaged.

Sai: Danzou sama are you alright!?

Sakura, Lee, & Sai jump in front of Danzou as Sasuke gets back up much to everyone’s surprise.

Sasuke thinking: Shit I’ve run out of time!

Sasuke falls to one knee as the light in his eye fades.

Danzou: Sasuke is weakened kill him Sai.

Karin jumps in front of Sasuke with a kunai in her hand.

Sakura thinking: Thats… thats… the same girl I walked past in that village! She’s the one who had Sasuke’s scent on her?!

Madara teleports to Karin & Sasuke & teleports them out of the area.

Danzou: They got away…

Sakura: Hokage sama why were you…

Danzou: That’s something I should be asking you 3 why have you left the village!? Everyone was under strict orders to stay in the village until after the sumit.

Lee: But we..

Danzou: I don’t want to hear your excuses Sai create an Ink bird for me to travel on I must return to the village immediately.

Sai: Yes sr.

Sai creates an ink bird for Danzou to ride on.

Danzou thinking: I’ll deal with your betrayal later Sai but for now it is important that I return to the village before word gets out about my actions at the summit.

Madara & Sasuke
Sasuke: Why did you pull me away! I could have..

Madara: Could have done what go completely blind & get yourself killed? I can’t believe you were stupid enough to use that jutsu Sasuke.

Sasuke: He’s the one who..

Madara: You’ll never get your revenge if you keep making reckless decisions like this.

Sasuke: So how long until my eye recovers anyway?

Madara: Izanagi is a jutsu that permanently seals away the light in one’s eye in exchange for control over one’s self reality. For but a brief moment one becomes truly immortal; impervious to all physical harm. Losing one’s light is the cost of this ultimate genjutsu. This light never returns take it from someone who’s knows form 80 years of experience with that jutsu.

Madara removes his mask to reveal his face. As he opens his other eye its completely white. Sasuke looks in shock.

Sasuke: &… there’s no way to fix this?

Madara: There mite be one way at least in your case… But it requires you to infuse Itachi’s eyes into your own.

Madara pulls out two jars with Itachi’s eyes.

Sasuke: I… I… don’t want…

Madara: It doesn’t matter if you want to rebel against your dead brother. You need this power in order to exact your revenge. Take the eyes Sasuke!

Sasuke reaches out both hands as they’re shaking & grabs the eyes.

Sasuke: What do I do now?

Madara: Just think of your brother & place your hands with each eye over your own. Your blood will instinctively do the best.

Sasuke does what Madara ask of him & Itachi’s eye’s fuse into his own. Sasuke then looks around the room in amazement was everything looks so different.

Sasuke: I can see…. everything!

Sasuke then looks at Madara

Sasuke thinking: So thats how his jutsu works…

Next week: Sasuke’s destiny

Naruto Chapter 479 Spoiler

479: Momentum Shift

(Madara Scene)
Madara: (thinking) Izanagi, a technique that brings the user back to life with the sacrifice of a Sharingan. Normally, an Uchiha would only be able to use it twice before he was rendered useless. Heck, when I sacrificed my left eye to survive the battle againt Hashirama it took a great toll on my powers… but I guess he takes little damage from the jutsu because the Sharigan on his arm are exogenous to his body. But I wonder, how did Danzou acknowledge and mastered such kinjutsu? He must’ve read the tablets in the Naka Shrine… I must admit, I underestimated him and his knowledge about the Uchiha clan…

(Sakura Scene)
(Kiba sniffs the air)
Kiba: I caught Sasuke’s scent! (Sakura looks shocked)
Lee: Yosh!
Sai: …
Kiba: But it seems that Danzou and that masked Akatsuki are near him. Should we still go after Sasuke?
Sakura: Yes. We won’t give up now.
Kiba: You’re the one calling the shots… follow me!
Sakura: (thinking) Sasuke, what are you doing?

(Mei Scene)
(Mei, Ao and Choujuurou arrive to a tree’s branch, near Sasuke’s location)
Ao: As I told you, Sasuke is with him, Mizukage-sama.
Mei: I see. What is that involving Sasuke?
Ao: It seems like a chakra entity, but I’m more worried about Danzou, he finally revealed his true colors. See that face on his shoulders?! It’s Uchiha Shisui’s face.
Mei: (shocked) Oh my…
Choujuurou: What happened to his guards?
Mei: (points at Madara, in the opposite side) I think Madara took care of them.
Ao: I still can’t believe he’s alive, but I trust your word…
Choujuurou: So, what should we do about Danzou?
Mei: I think we should wait until they separate. We don’t know what Madara is capable of, so let’s focus only in Danzou.

(Sasuke Scene)
Danzou: (thinking) I have only six Sharingan left and my jutsu has been figured out. This fight is all about endurance, so I must take the initiative.
Sasuke: (breathing heavily; thinking) This is going nowhere, I need to take him out before I run out of chakra...
(Susano’o shoots another arrow; Danzou performs a Tiger handseal combined with an Ox handseal)
Danzou: Doton: Earth Style Wall!
(an earthen wall rises in front of Danzou; the arrow is slowed by the wall; Sasuke jumps to the bridge, with Susano’o around him)
Karin: Sasuke, you didn’t hit him, beware! (the wall crumbles, revealing an intact Danzou in the middle of the dust)
Danzou: (thinking) That sensor type girl is such a nuisance. (he jumps to a pilar; Sasuke performs a Tiger handseal; still thinking)
Sasuke: Katon: Gouryuuka no Jutsu!* (the dragon flies towards Danzou)
Danzou: So naïve… (performs the Tiger, Serpent and Tiger handseals; the cheeks on the face on his shoulder inflates) Suiton: Suijinheki! **
(a wall of water is expelled from that face’s mouth, halting the Katon; Sasuke performs the same Katon, now aimed to the sky)
Madara: (thinking) Are you that desperate already, Sasuke?!
Danzou: (thinking) I don’t what you’re up to, but I’ll make sure you won’t get away with it. (performs Tiger, Dragon, Serpent and Bird handseals; both his faces’ cheeks inflate) Ninpou: Yaanusu Taifuu! ***
(Danzou exhales wind and water, creating a typhoon above the bridge, dissolving the Katon; when the typhoon end, it starts to rain in the bridge)
Sasuke: Your guard is down. (Susano’o shoots Danzou, killing him)
Madara: (thinking) He already depleted half of his Izanagi’s charges. Not bad… (Danzou appears again)
Danzou: How annoying…
Sasuke: (breathing heavily; thinking) Damn, I could’ve killed him twice if he didn’t nullify my chances of invoking Kirin. (his vision starts to blur) And the Mangekyo Sharingan is already having its toll…
Danzou: (thinking) My chakra reserves are low. The next move will decide this battle. (performs the Snake, Rat, Dragon, Dog and Tiger handseals) Mokuton: Jubaku Eisou! **** (tree stalks appear near Sasuke, surrounding his Susano’o; the stalks start to bind Susano’o, stopping it.; talking) Uchiha Sasuke, your pride is your downfall, you’re a waste of time for us all.
Karin: (thinking) Both of them have already reached their limits. Sasuke…
Sasuke: You underestimate me. (He stares menancingly at Danzou, but starts to cough blood; thinking) Blood? (he falls on his knees; Susano’o starts to recede)
Madara: (thinking) He reached his limit. No wonder, he fought two intensive battles in such a short period of time, maybe I should give him a little rest from his training. (He releases Fuu and Torune and vanishes)
Danzou: Running away already? How appropriate for an Uchiha… (Madara appears next to Sasuke)
Madara: Don’t worry, it won’t be the last time we meet, you Senju-Uchiha abomination.
Danzou: Hmpf.
(Sakura, Kiba and Lee appear from the woods)
Sakura: Shannaro!!! (She tries to punch Madara, but passes right through him) What the…?
Kiba: I already told you, he phases out when we attack him!
Madara: Konoha nins, eh?
Sasuke: (thinking) Sakura?
Danzou: (thinking) What are they doing here? (Torune and Fuu join him; talking) Aid immediately our nin. (looks at the woods; thinking) Don’t think I don’t know you’re there, Sai.
Torune & Fuu: Yes, Danzou-sama. (they rush towards Madara)
Danzou (looks at the woods; thinking) Don’t think I don’t know you’re there, Sai.
Madara: It seems that I’m in a pickle… (captures Sasuke in his vortex)
Sakura: I won’t let you take Sasuke-kun! (punches Madara again, but he phases out; Lee tries a kick, but also fails) You!!! (he disappears, to appear next to Karin)
Karin: ?!
Madara: You know what to do. (captures Karin in his vortex; while Kiba and Akamaru rush towards him)
Kiba: Gatsuuga! (they strike Madara, but no avail)
Madara: So much to do, so little time. Farewell. (he vanishes in his vortex)
Sakura: ( drops on her knees) No… not again…
Lee: Sorry, Sakura-chan.
Sakura: (she has tears on her eyes) No need to apologize…
Danzou: Who gave you permission to be here?
Sakura: We… uh…
(Mei and her guards appear)
Ao: Danzou-dono, we’re here to bring you back to the Land of Iron to answer the accusations made against you.
