Naruto #43
For those of you new to manga, Naruto is a fantasy sci-fi fiction series based on Japanese myths and the Buddhist religion about a character with the same name who has a nine-tailed fox locked inside of him. A long time ago there was a fox-beast destroying cities and Lord Kazagake sealed the fox beast inside of Naruto when he was just a baby. Naruto controls the fox and can only let him out if he chooses to. Naruto sometimes releases the fox to fight his opponents. Interestingly, in book 43 the fox does not play a role in the story. This review will be hard to understand if you have not read any of the books in the series, especially the concept of sharingan, magical eyes with super strong powers. I will do my best to keep it simple.
I recommend book 43 of this series because the fight between Sasuke Uchiha, one of Naruto's best friends, and Itachi Uchiha, Sasuke’s older brother, who killed their whole clan including their parents, was one of the best battles of the whole series. One important thing is that at the end Sasuke, defending his parents´honor, kills Itachi.
During the battle between Sasuke, Obito Uchiha, another clan member, is fighting against Naruto, and his friends Kakashi,Yamato, Hinata and Kiba. Narutoa and his gang were trying to stop the battle between the Uchiha brothers but Obito doesn't want Naruto involved.
During the fight with Naruto, Obito tells them that Sasuke will probably die. Naruto gives Obito a bad look because he doesn't want Sasuke to die and tells him to take it back. Obito refuses and Naruto attacks him with the rasengan (one of Naruto's powers) but Obito simply just moves to the side and dodges it. Kiba attacks Obito after Naruto and Obito uses his kamui (one of his powers) and Kiba just went through Obito. Kakashi asks Obito what his name is (only Naruto fans will understand why) and he does not respond. The only thing Obito does is to remove his mask showing his sharingan (special eyes the Uchiha have). Kakashi was surprised and says that he is a member of the Uchiha clan and to watch out because he is very powerful. Kakashi realizes that he knew Obito when he was younger and that his own eye is the same as Obito´s, (Obito gave his right eye to Kakashi when they were younger). After all the fighting a bad guy named Zenjitsu comes out of a tree to tell Obito that the battle between Itachi and Sasuke has begun. Obito is pleased and uses his izanagi (teletransportation power) to escape Naruto and watch the battle.
Sasuke enters Itachi´s palace and sees all these paintings on the wall of the Uchiha clan. He enters the room where Itachi is, and finds Itachi sitting on his throne. Sasuke sees him and tells him that he will die today. Itachi is disappointed because he does not have the same eyes as Itachi and did not get the amaterasu (the strongest version of the sharingan). Sasuske stabs Itachi in the chest and says goodbye. Itachi raises his arm and points left and Sasuke, confused because he thinks he has killed Itachi, sees Itachi again on his throne. Sasuke realises that Itachi used a genjutsu (magical spell that makes you imagine things, in this case, stabbing and killing Itachi) against Sasuke. Sasuke uses his chitori (an electrical bolt) and combines it with his sword. Sasuke goes behind the throne and stabs Itachi in the back but it's another of Itachi's genjutsu.
Sasuke is enraged and attacks him again for the third time with his chitori and Itachi just deflects it with his kunai (knife). Sasuke punches Itachi in the jaw and sends him up to the roof. Sasuke jumps up and they both use their fireball jutsu. Itachi wakes up his Amaterasu (another strong power) that created the Susano (a giant skeleton that nothing can get through). Sasuke uses the snake jutsu but Itachi kills it in a second. Itachi suffers little damage but out of nowhere he started coughing blood out. Obito and Zenjitsu, who were watching, were surprised to see Itachi coughing up blood. Obito says that Itachi has a disease and is getting worse from his disease. Sasuke did not know this and does not know what to do. Itachi, about to die, touches Sasuke's forehead and tells him ¨No matter what you decide from now on… I will love you forever… You don't have to forgive me,Sasuke.¨ Then itachi falls on the floor and dies. Sasuke has defeated Itachi.
Obito is surprised that Sasuke kills Itachi and then his sharingan voice gets deep and says, ``Just kidding, I knew it was going to happen ever since Itachi was a kid.¨ Obito appears after the fight and heals Sasuke in a cave.
Obito tells Sasuke that he did not know a lot about his brother Itachi. Sasuke asks Obito how he knows more about Itachi than Sasuke. Obito shows his sharingan. Sasuke is surprised and shocked that he is an Uchiha. Sasuke says “I thought that my brother killed all the Uchiha members”, but Obito says that there are 3 more left. Obito explains that he would tell the truth about Itachi. Obito says that Itachi had a disease and that Itachi gave Sasuke his Amateratsu to Sasuke. Sasuke is surprised that Itachi would do something like that. Sasuke finds out that Itachi only wanted to protect Sasuke and let Sasuke kill Itachi in order to get him the Amaterasu. Itachi killed all the Uchiha because they wanted to start a war with the Hidden Leaf Village (another clan) so he had to stop them by killing all of them. Sasuke asks for Obito's name and Obito answers Madara Uchiha. Sasuke says that he heard that name before and Obito answers that Madara was one of the best Uchiha members. Zenitsu tells Kakashi and Naruto about the news that Itachi is dead and that Obito is with Susuke in the cave. They are very surprised. Finally, Sasuke has these visions about Itachi and realises that Itachi only wanted to protect him, and now that Itachi has planted his Amaterasu in Sasuke, Sasuke has gained a lot of power.
