Susanoo



I did mention that I will post some blogs about Susanoo, and i did. Susanoo, in legend is the brother of amaterasu and tsukuyomi(I'll post blogs about tsukuyomi later on). But I focus mainly on the jutsu used by Uchiha Itachi in this blog. Okay, like the aforementioned amaterasu and tsukuyomi, Susanoo also needs the Mangekyou Sharingan to activate it. This jutsu is extremely powerful and is exclusive to Itachi. First, Itachi activates a pair of spooky looking eyes, which comprise a small black dot positioned in the center of each spooky looking eye. Then, a transparent ethereal warrior, armed with a long sword and a shield, would be summoned, with Itachi standing inside it. As Itachi moves, the warrior moves with it, therefore shielding Itachi from all kinds of threats and attacks. On the other hand, Itachi can also attack with this jutsu. Although I do not how he does it, but the warrior seems to be on Itachi's side. Attacking without hesitation when ordered. The blade wield by the warrior, the sword of Totsuka, seals almost everything it pierces in an unescapable dream like dimension. The blade is often sheathed in a sake(a japanese wine) jar held by a third arm growing from the warrior's forearm. The shield the warrior has on his left arm is almost impenetrable, shielding Itachi from even the most devastating attacks, like the jutsu Kirin(a jutsu which consists of the heaven's lightning and strike anything with pinpoint accuracy). Not only that it is deadly, it is also said to be the perfect counter for the Kusanagi sword that lies deep within Orochimaru's(the snake antagonist) belly. The Yata mirrior(the shield) and the Totsuka sword of the warrior essentially makes Itachi invincible. But a jutsu this dreadful is not without its disadvantages. This jutsu could probably make the user blind, which explains the spooky eyes. But once you activate this jutsu, there is no way you can lose; even if you're up against a hokage!

Above is the almighty Susanoo.
