Itachi vs Orochimaru pg 01

A fight between Itachi and Orochimaru - this is how it would go down!

PLEASE READ THIS FIRST

THIS BATTLE TAKES PLACE SOME
TIME BETWEEN PART I AND PART II
(WARNING: LIGHT SPOILERS)

It starts in the middle

Akatsuki plots to finally kill Orochimaru and prevent him from obtaining Sharingan.

Itachi is chosen to assassinate him, because of how easily he defeated Orochimaru with the Sharingan in the past.

Orochimaru finds out through a certain 'Akatsuki spy' believed to still be under Sasori's control, and sets out to confront Itachi, without telling Sasuke. If he is able to take over Itachi, he won't need Sasuke any longer, and if he isn't able to, he still has Sasuke either way as a backup plan.

While infiltrating Hidden Sound, Itachi is suddenly attacked by Sound nin. He easily kills them all, but by doing so, triggers a sleeper jutsu implanted in them. He is suddenly surrounded by a ball of chakra. As the chakra light clears, he finds himself standing in a smoking crater and face-to-face with his target...

"KU KU KU!"
