Naruto Chapter 384

[Abdula]

Thats the way Itachi fights he is always reserved and never goes all out. Itachi and everyone else expects that Sasuke will eventually surpass him and this is just another test, I hope we'll soon find out for what. Sasuke's fighting style and tactics are obviously heavily influenced by his training with Oro, Kabuto and Oro were the same way. Most of the ninjas in Naruto are too its has more to do with knowing your own strengths and limitations than anything else.

At the rate its going Naruto being taken over by the Kyuubi will literally kill him and destroy his body not just simply release the kyuubi so I don't think thats it.

Kyuubi just being released out of Naruto's mouth/ass with Naruto undamaged would be fun to see

I wholly disagree with that; I mean i know its a spirit and all, but still...well, actually it probably wouldnt be that bad. It seems most powerful justus come out the mouth anyway.

I think Itachi is dead, or at the very least heavily wounded. Though the possibility that this is all Genjutsu still exists, Genjutsu like that just doesn't seem likely (and if it is, I'll actually be kind of disapointed). I think his abrupt end is great, and if he really is fatally wounded, it revives my interest in the manga just because of how unexpected it is. All that tension he spent building up like that to be used in such a way is an anti-climactic conflict but not everything needs to be so overly dramaticized. The shock-value of it would be on par with a certain very popular Final Fantasy VII spoiler.

Just the way I feel about it though -shrugs-
