It's not too different from the Sannin matchup. I guess the Third was facilitating the reunion if he did have the history in his head. You can't expect them to make up afterwards unless they were friends to begin with.

Itachi transferred his powers to Sasuke before he died. That's why Sasuke has the exact powers as him pretty much (with some personal variation). The levels referred to are as Itachi described. When one unlocks both the M.Sharingans in their eyes, the third power becomes active. Unlocking Amaterasu and Tsukiyomi grants you the ability to use Susano'o.

Can't wait!
You know what's dumber? The killing power of Amaterasu the way it's been portrayed here.

Arm got burned? Fight now, cut later.

Armour got burned? Wait now, take it off later.

That shit's meant to be one-hit-kill, right? Flames that burn forever... now they're making it out like they're burning forever cuz they never finish burning whatever it is they're trying to burn. :S

Don't forget that it's meant to be hotter than the sun. Yeah riiight.
