Brotherly Blades - The Untold Layers of Itachi's Final Sacrifice

 As a Naruto superfan who's followed the manga religiously since 2010, I'll never forget the bittersweet feeling of its conclusion. While the final arcs felt rushed, nothing diminishes my love for this universe. That's why I keep reliving its glory through Naruto Online - a game that lets me replay iconic moments like Sasuke and Itachi's heart-shattering showdown with stunning authenticity.

Let's talk about the battle that redefined tragedy in shonen anime. Physically deteriorating from illness, Itachi orchestrated their duel not to kill, but to liberate his brother. Every "cruel" taunt about stealing Sasuke's eyes hid desperate love. When Sasuke unleashed Kirin - that dragon-shaped lightning blast shaking the entire Uchiha hideout - Itachi's Susanoo didn't just block it. That crimson guardian symbolized a brother's final stand: "I'll endure any pain to free you."

What makes Itachi the GOAT? Let's break it down:

• 7-year-old genius seeing through grown ninjas' lies

• Double agent bearing the world's hatred to prevent war

• Sacrificial love rewriting Sasuke's fate through "hatred"

His final forehead poke wasn't just a callback to childhood - it was a silent plea: "Live, even if it means hating me." The way he burned away Orochimaru's curse mark with Amaterasu? That wasn't just combat - it was big brother cleaning up his baby sibling's mess one last time.

Here's why this battle wrecks me: Itachi weaponized everything fans thought we knew. The "cold-blooded clan killer" trope shattered when we learned he took that monstrous role to:

Protect Konoha from civil war

Give Sasuke a purpose to grow stronger

Make himself the perfect villain for Sasuke to "overcome"

Every "evil" smirk in the Akatsuki hid moonlit memories of carrying toddler Sasuke on his back. His final "Forgive me" wasn't about the fight - it was an apology for all of it: the lies, the loneliness, the unbearable weight of loving someone enough to let them hate you.

That's why Itachi transcends "cool character" status. He's the walking definition of shinobi - enduring endless darkness so others can walk in light. While later arcs piled on god-tier powers, this battle proved true strength isn't about chakra levels... it's about how much love you're willing to bury in shadow for someone else's sunrise.

Ninja Capable of using Wood Style

I love playing Naruto Online. One of the things I probably like the most is working out Lineups using high resistance units! Naruto Online is based in the original work of Naruto and they made an amazing job, as you walk around Konoha and other villages, it feels like you are reliving the story of Naruto, at the same time, this game incorporates PVP battles and it goes as far as to allow players to fight in Teams to find out the best strategies in solo or team mode!

1.Hashirama Senju
A legendary ninja in the story of Naruto games online and one of the founders of Konoha. He is also the reincarnation of one of the sons of the Sage of the Six Paths, Asura. His Wood Style is unrivalled and Madara Uchiha lost to it in the Final Valley. Hashirama’s nemesis was always Madara.

2.Madara Uchiha
Madara Uchiha was the leader of the Uchiha Clan and his power was feared by most. Together with Hashirama Senju, they created Konoha. Madara himself is incapable of using Wood Style, but he injected and prompted Hashirama’s cells to grow in him so that he would become able to use Wood Style too.

3.Obito Uchiha
Obito and Kakashi were best friends; later on, due to certain circumstances, Obito was rescued by Madara and became his apprentice. Half of Obito’s body was restructured using Hashirama Senju’s cells, thus, Obito is also capable of using Wood Style ninjutsu.

4.Danzo Shimura
A senior character of Konoha, lost against Hiruzen Sarutobi when both were trying to become the Third Hokage in game Naruto. Later on, using some help from Orochimaru, he had Hashirama Senju’s cells growing in his right arm in order to control the power of the Sharingan eyes he possessed.

5.Yamato

Yamato is the same as the already described ninja, he was injected with Hashirama Senju’s cells in his body, becoming able to use Wood Style.
