I am going to actually 'lol' if Sasuke calls out a "thunderbolt no jutsu". Only thing better is if it is in the shape of Pikachu.

In all honesty I don't mind how the fight has progressed. We have found out that Madara helped out with the assasination of the clan; meaning Itachi isn't as god-like as we once thought. That combined with his dumb arrogant ass and (from what it seems) always sitting there emotionless and taking his enemies out with Tsukuyomi and Amaterasu he deserves to be going blind. Guess he should have used his other who-knows-how-many jutsu's to take out some of his enemies instead of not stfu about MS. Think he would have learned from Madara.

Granted; it is a little lame that he didn't learn from Madara, but I think this battle is more "realistic" (in the Narutoverse) than alot of people have allowed it to be.

Maybe the mistake isn't so much in the assumption that Sasuke is god-like, but in the assumption most people made about Itachi being god-like. Team 7 seems to be almost on par with Akatsuki members (aside from Pein, and Madara, MAYBE POSSIBLY Zetsu, I don't think Konan is strong at all, I just think she is Pein's bitch, and he has some emotional attatchment to her). Saskura beat a member (with help). if it were not for the fact he had six lives, Naruto would have killed a member. Hell Shikamaru even killed one pretty much on his own, so the fact of Itachi being an Akatsuki really doens't hold too much importance anymore.
