We also have to remember that Madara has admitted to being very much weakened it's hard to say what the extent of his abilities are. He's already lost an arm will that regenerate or does he have some sort of mind transfer jutsu? That'd be my guess but he might not actually want risk fighting if he doesn't have to.

Madara did help itachi massacre the uchiha clan, so he's still very powerful. Just weak in comparison to what he was before fighting the first hokage. Remember the context in which he said he was weakened - "Why didn't you just take us 5 Kages out by yourself?"

[Blarg]

I don't see anyone dying in this battle, somehow danzo will get away.

It seems like Madara isn't intervening for a few reasons, to let Sasuke fight to learn something or other, not really sure what the endgame on that is, and also because since madara is weaker than in the past he probably wants to see all the potentially fatal surprises danzo has used on someone else rather than on himself.

Exactly, and as you can see Danzo is no joke. He's putting an uber enraged Sasuke on the ropes and everyone knows the angrier you are in a manga/anime the stronger you get.... So ya I'm not saying he's not powerful but to be fair so is danzo as illustrated. Madara's probably more than happy to allow puppets take away all the risk of a fight for him. Even though I doubt he even cares if Danzo dies or not at this point it's more of a gesture to solidify Sasuke's trust in Madara.

Been hearing some talk of the new chapter

Spoiler: show

Unverified

The Danzo that got stabbed was real, he gets his lung pierced. Sauske is about to finish him off, but Madara figures that Danzo might be of some use and sucks him into his mask and "saves" him.

There is a quote from Kishi floating around on the net that said something along the lines of the conclusion of the fight between Danzo and Sauske will decide Sauske's direction. So this might be the event that causes Sauske to go against Madara.

lmfaoooo read this below (it's not real but still funny):

Chapter 480:
'him'
Cover is Madara above Sasuke

Chapter starts where 479 left off.

Sasuke: ..Damn
Danzo's body disapears, Sasuke collapses to the ground, his back bloodied. Susanoo' slowly fades away.
Karen:Sasuke!!
Danzo:One second less and i'd have been finished.
He looks over to Madara's location on the cliffside.
Madara is calmly sitting.
Danzo:Hmm, he's still alive, but only just (sasuke).. I'd better take these (Sasuke's eyes) quickly before i deal with him (Madara).. He begins approaching Sasuke's body.
Has Danzo clipped Hawks' wings?!

Scene changes to Naruto waking in a bed
we get a flash back of what Gaara said to him previously.
he turns in his hospital bed
Naruto: Sasuke..

Back to the battle scene:
Danzo's almost reached Sasuke's body, he looks physically drained.

Suddenly, A large explosion hits Danzo
We see him skid backwards out of the smoke, clutching a bleeding shoulder

Scene cuts to Sakura,Kiba,Sai and Rock Lee.
Team: !!!
They can see the dust cloud from their location
Sakura:That must be them.. but who's fighting ?
They begin to run towards the location

Back to battle:
Danzo looks up towards the cliffside.
Madara is standing atop a large, mechanical quad peadal tank surrounded in mist, the barrel smoking..Instead of tracks the tank has four legs, at the joints it has a circular ball, with a sharingan in each, and the Uchiha crest on the side - it's design looks like something you'd see in the Rain country.

Madara:I'm afraid i can't let you do that, Danzo.
What is this mechanical contraption?!

Next time: Confrontation!

The return of the Uchiha tank!!! I almost got fooled for a sec, found it on onemanga forums, then I came back here and saw tummie's real spoiler >.>...

[The_OG_Nelta]

I think the tank would be the best thing that would happen since the last few chapters.

[Vandole]

uchiha tank is making me laugh a LITTLE too hard.

i was reading this in trig and imagining spinning sharingan rims and nearly got myself in trouble

[EternalSnow]

lol uchia tank. I like what you posted varja. It seems like something like that could possibly happen, but not likely I guess.

[TummieGaruda]

lol Not the first time we've had a Madara Tank spoiler

Chapter 480: Sacrifice
Simultaneously striking one another...but is Danzou's body another illusion...!?

Madara (Sasuke's power...this much huh?)
Karin (...!?)
Sasuke pierced by Danzou: Ugh...
Danzou, pierced by Sasuke: Too fast...eyes are still open...you will be going to see Itachi, and perhaps even good of you to hear his preaching...this is my win.

Karin (What's going on!? ...this feeling is...!)
Danzou: !!?
Sasuke looking downward: Haha
Danzou: ...what's...the meaning of this!? (Guh! ...why won't Izanagi start up!!?)
Sasuke's right eye has Mangekyou activated.

Madara (Danzou...it's as you said -- the time Itachi could freely manipulate his genjutsu and Tsukiyomi -- the difference is like between the heavens and earth...)
Danzou's field of vision is blurred. His right arm's eyes are closed.
Danzou: You...
Sasuke: The one meeting Itachi will be you...
Danzou falls to his knees.
Karin (As thought, it's as I sensed. It was in fact Danzou's real body!)

Danzou looks to be in a lot of pain.
Madara (Right before his body was pierced, the sharingan in his right arm all closed. Sasuke is of the Uchiha clan...and a shinobi possessing the Mangekyou...but Danzou with his observing eye...he is above you. In an instant he was faster than you in noticing...Sasuke cast a genjutsu on you, making you believe that your last eye on your right arm was still open. You used Izanagi on yourself without fulling knowing its effective time, checking it over and over to see if it was in effect. Sasuke didn't miss that. Izanagi's time of effectiveness has a small interval in between each use. Although he pretended to know the degree to which that was, he knew beforehand that even in an instant he would be able to cast a genjutsu. Don't use that, that's not Sasuke.)

Danzou's checks his right shoulder: U..gh...
Madara: You were naiive in this battle of Sharingan because of all those Sharingan you've acquired...that's the reason for you loss.
Sasuke: This is a fight I will recite to you with my eyes. Don't underestimate the Uchiha.

Madara (Even without being able to use Shisui's eye, Danzou did a good job of driving it this far....Sasuke, it seems like you'll soon be able to take Shisui's eyes for yourself. Root should have stayed hidden in the ground.)

Sasuke is about to collapse while Karin rushes over: Sasuke...!
Sasuke: Ku..ku...
Karin brings out her left arm: Here! Bite quickly!!
Madara: That girl...it was good to bring her here...she's useful, and Sasuke specifically chose her as his favorite...

Sasuke biting.
Karin: Ahh...!
Danzou (I...! To this little...!! I will not die in a place like this!!!)

Suddenly Danzou's right arm starts to become a tree.
Danzou: Guahhh!!!
Sasuke and Karin: !!?

Danzou (I won't allow it!! At this rate I'll be taken over by the Shodai's cells.
Danzou takes his right shoulder with his right arm.
Madara (Facing death, he's losing control over his chakra...I won't be able to easily control the strength of the pillars...)


Danzou, in front of Karin and Sasuke.
Karin: How persistent...this is some guy...!
Danzou takes the bandages off his right eye.
Danzou: Not yet...from here on out...with this eye...I will tell you how this fight will end.

Madara (The pupil in his right eye has returned huh...he covered with Izanagi while allowing Shisui's eye to recover...so that was your play huh...)

Sasuke uses Chidori in his left hand, and thrusts at Danzou.

Danzou dodges, and takes Karin hostage.

Madara (Shisui's pupil...it seems he plans to use it up as he did with Izanagi.)
Sasuke glares at Danzou.
Danzou: You've used your eye too much huh.
Karin: Sasuke...

Danzou (Sasuke can't use it anymore...if I can use Shisui's genjutsu to control him and get him to go after Madara, it would be more effecient considering the depth of these wounds.)
Madara (So then...Sasuke...what will you do?)

Sasuke: You who talked of self-sacrifice....to take a hostage.
Danzou: My..my life...I'm not sorry...it was for Konoha...for the ninja world...I won't allow myself to die in a place like this...no matter whose hands...whatever I have to do...to live...I will...this shinobi's...to become the reformer to change the world...this girl will be a sacrifice for that purpose.

Karin: Sasuke...help me!
Sasuke: Don't move...Karin.
Danzou: ...!
Sasuke activates Mangekyou in his left eye...with a scary face.
Sasuke uses a Chidori spear and stabs Karin along with Danzou.
Danzou's back is pierced through.


Karin (Huh...)
Danzou: Guh...! (...the vitals of the hostage...)
Madara, smiling with his eyes: So its come to this...

Sasuke: Brother...this is the first...


Karin and achieving revenge!!

Sasuke, towards the darkness of reality...!!

The End.

well now....

yay

[Parshias]

I have never really been a fan of Sasuke-centered sections recently... but that ending is fucking awesome.

[EternalSnow]

hmm omg lol

[Tetrarien]

I have never really been a fan of Sasuke-centered sections recently... but that ending is fucking awesome.

Completely agreed.

Spoiler: show

So Sasuke has now killed someone of importance in a political sense, since Danzo was the acting hokage of Konoha (yes Danzo was a douche, but that doesn't change the fact that he was the interim leader). Has Sasuke finally reached the point of being unable to be redeemed? I'd really like to think so considering that his actions are now directly against Konoha itself, but I'm convinced that eventually he'll (ugh) turn back to the good side.

[Chelly]

just read the chapter

Spoiler: show

as much as i'd love to think that he killed karin, i think kishimoto is gonna rob us of her death and make it so that he did some clever shit and avoided her organs or something with that stab =/

[Beckwin]

it seems pretty obvious he avoided her organs.

badass chapter though. it's strange, but I'm starting to like Sasuke and Madara.

[DionyShiva]

480's up on OneManga: http://www.onemanga.com/Naruto/480/01/

[Maguspk]

Danzou isn't Hokage anymore so Sasuke really just attacked the guy they had suspicions on already. Sasuke is still a wanted missing nin though. I also think it was obvious Karin isn't fataly wounded, however I did wonder something:

Shisui is the one they thought Itachi killed, correct? What is up with the mention of 'Doryoku' or whatever, is that some other eye ability? It feels like they just keep throwing shit out there, first Izanagi and now some super eye move some shitty unmentioned Uchiha had? Kind of lame.

[Thunder]

^Shisui's ability was to control the mind of someone; usable once a day. I remember something about a powerful enough uchiha able to break it, though, and that's how Itachi would go on to kill him. Could be wrong about that so don't quote me!

Anyway, how are people jumping to the conclusion that Danzo's dead and Karin survived?

I'm guessing that since Danzo is a ninja that rivaled the 3rd he's got a plan; namely because he can still Izanagi and lose that right eye or use the genjutsu on Madara and accomplish whatever he was talking about on page 12: "I should use the genjutsu on Madara now ... I can't afford to waste time, my wounds are too deep." right after that he goes blabbering on to Sasuke.. so I'm guessing/hoping he isn't a fuck up, otherwise, shit just got a whole lot more lame.

[Sho]

Hory shit he killed Karin?






































....then you bitches messed it up with "oh, of course he missed her organs." Fuck you all.
