Naruto Thread (Spoilers For Sure)

Could it be that building Izanami up is taking Itachi's concentration and power? because he's been getting beat up by Kabuto while Itachi's done nearly nothing. Maybe it's just all the elements involved, like not being abler to kill him plus having to watch over Sasuke's butt and Kabuto having like a jutsu from like a trillion people. (Obviously Itachi took all the brains from the Uchiha family cuz Sasuke can do shiet on his own other than use brute force).

Nearly nothing? Taken his power? I wasn't aware that repeatedly being forced to use your strongest techniques (In itachis case, Amaterasu, Tsukiyomi and Susano have all been used in this fight...) was doing nothing... And itachi would have lost this fight if sasuke wasn't there, since he couldn't break the genjutsu on his own.

Also: What happened to that sealing kunai kabuto was holding at the start? It's gone by the time he slashes itachi in half.
