The remaining flames from Amaterasu reach the forest, starting a forest fire.
Zetsu: Itachi collapsed?
Amaterasu reaches the white snake, and it burns too.
Zetsu: No way! You're telling me Itachi's dead?
Close-up on Itachi. It's pretty gross. At this point, it starts raining.
Zetsu: Sasuke wins. Something's not quite right, though.
Zetsu: This wasn't all Itachi had! His movements weren't as good as always...you yourself said he looked odd, right?
Zetsu: Indeed...he wasn't dodging attacks he normally would have, he coughed blood more than once... He might have been already pretty hurt before the fight even started...
Zetsu: Because he over-used sharingan?
Zetsu: Can't say for sure. And he was so close to taking Sasuke's eyes...
Zetsu disappears under some leaves. Sasuke gazes intently at the finger Itachi poked his forehead with. Sasuke smiles (evil grin) and falls unconscious by Itachi's side.
Back to Naruto!
Yamato: So this formation's not working either.
Kiba: The timing was perfect. It was a hit, dammit! How the heck did he dodge it!?
Naruto: He didn't. My first rasengan hit too. What happened was it went through his body.
Shino: In other words, he made it look like he dodged it, but what actually happened was both you and your jutsu went right through his body. Is that what you're saying, Naruto?
Kakashi: Must be a special jutsu of his. Well, he's a pain to deal with, that's for sure, but...Shino?
Shino: Way ahead of you.
Bugs come out of Shino.
Kakashi: In these situations, hijutsu (secret jutsu) like Shino's come in handy.
Madara: Uwah! An Aburame clan member! Oh, man, anything but your swarmy little kind!
Kiba: Hey, Shino, you're looking fiestier than usual!
Shino: Of course - the reason being I missed out last time!
