Inside this volume
After years of preparation, Sasuke Uchiha finally confronts Itachi Uchiha. Their battle becomes one of the defining conflicts of the series, combining powerful dōjutsu, illusion, and long-hidden truths surrounding the Uchiha clan.
While the brothers settle their past, Naruto Uzumaki and the Leaf shinobi continue searching for Sasuke, unaware that the outcome of the battle will fundamentally reshape the future of both Sasuke and the ninja world.
Sasuke finally reaches Itachi's hideout, leaving Hebi outside while the brothers face one another alone. Their battle escalates from shuriken techniques and genjutsu to the full power of the Mangekyō Sharingan. Itachi reveals abilities including Tsukuyomi, Amaterasu, and Susanoo, while Sasuke counters with techniques developed during his training under Orochimaru.
After exhausting nearly all of his strength, Sasuke unleashes Kirin, a lightning technique created from natural storm clouds. Itachi survives by activating Susanoo's spiritual defenses. As the battle concludes, Orochimaru briefly emerges from Sasuke's body in an attempt to seize freedom but is immediately sealed by Itachi.
The conflict ends with Itachi collapsing after tapping Sasuke's forehead one final time, leaving Sasuke victorious but without understanding his brother's true motives.
