Flames fused with Red Lightning, then converged into two blades.
"Flame Release: Futsuryu Sword—Futsunushi!"
The twin swords appeared.
[Even though I don't understand it, it looks so cool.]
[Those are Japan's three great famous swords: the Totsuka Blade, the Futsuryu Sword, and Ame-no-Murakumo.]
[The Totsuka Blade is Ame-no-Habakiri.]
[The Futsuryu Sword is Futsunushi.]
[I'll add something too. Futsunushi was Takemikazuchi's sword, a god-slaying blade. In reality, there are two Futsunushi swords, though no one knows if either is genuine. Ninja Path probably changed Futsunushi into twin blades.]
—The viewers were overthinking it. Sparkle knew that the reason there were two blades was because Sasuke thought it looked cool. Besides, he had indeed learned dual-wielding from Sparkle as his trump-card swordsmanship.
[I'll add something too +1. Futsunushi should refer to the god Futsunushi. Some myths say Futsunushi was actually Takemikazuchi, while others say otherwise.]
[I'll add something too +2. I just looked up Futsunushi. This guy is the god of swords and blades. No wonder Pillar Brother could forge Futsunushi.]
[Brilliant. It was all foreshadowing.]
[By the way, Ame-no-Murakumo is the Kusanagi Sword. In Ninja Path, the Kusanagi Sword is mass-produced. The only thing that can really match the Totsuka Blade is Futsunushi.]
[But it feels like the Totsuka Blade could also correspond to Yamata no Orochi.]
[Could it have originally been meant to deal with tailed beasts?]
[It's such a shame the battle against the Eight-Tails was skipped.]
"Bang—"
Futsunushi collided with the Totsuka Blade.
"Mm?!"
Then Itachi sensed that something was wrong.
The Totsuka Blade was powerful, but when it became entangled with the Opponent's twin blades, it felt as if the attack itself had been "bound."
Black flames scorched the Totsuka Blade's Chakra, while lightning repelled its Chakra.
Of course, one sword could not stop the Totsuka Blade—but
