Interlude
(*Cues: Wiz & Boomstick - Brandon Yates*)

Boomstick: He's Wiz and I'm Boomstick.

Wiz: And it's our job to analyze their weapons, armor, and skills to find out who would win... a Death Battle.

Sasuke Uchiha
Wiz: The Uchiha Clan was reowned by their incredible ability in battle. Despite one of the founding families of the Hidden Leaf Village, Konoha, the Uchiha were outcasts and cut off.

'''Boomstick: For good reason! Their people have gotten pretty famous for attacking in the village with the big nine-tailed fox. So, not a good luck.'''

Wiz: But everything changed with the head of the clan's first-born son, Itachi. He was a brilliant boy and a promising future for the family.

'''Boomstick: Even becoming the youngest kid to ever graduate ninja school. I went there for a bit, but then I learned they didn't use guns. So... y'know.'''

Wiz: But Itachi opposed the clan's latest plot for Aku. His response was... well, pretty clear cut.

'''Boomstick: I'll say! He went and murdered all of them. Every last one. Except for his kid brother, Sasuke. Naturally, Sasuke was pretty pissed off that his big bro killed his whole family. So he swore to become the bestest Shinobi ever and hunt Itachi down. Probably should've let him in on the plan there, Ichi.'''

Wiz: Just like his brother, Sasuke soared through his schooling with flying colors, quickly learning three primary kinds of Jutsu or ninja techniques.

Boomstick: Ninjutsu, which is basically magic spells, Genjutsu, which messes with the mind, and Taijutsu, the one where you just punch people.

Wiz: While Sasuke impressed with inhuman speed, swordsmanship, and physical ferocity, he's mastered several powerful Ninjutsu techniques.

Boomstick: Like belching his classic fire breath, making up to eight shadow clones of himself, and the Chidori, a ball of freakin' lightning that has uh, shocking effect.

Wiz: Plus, many more. In along the path of revenge, he spent much of his time perfecting and improving these techniques. Even mastering lightning release to the point of casting Kiryu, an electric strike in a shape of a dragon.

'''Boomstick: Divine intervention 2.0. Spiting your foes is the way to go!'''

Wiz: He can infuse his abilities with any of the five elements. Fire, Wind, Earth, Water, Air-

Boomstick: Heart!

Wiz: No, no, Lightning. Obviously.

Boomstick: Aw.

Wiz: As well as Yin Release, an element of creation itself.

'''Boomstick: So basically, don't make fun of Sasuke to his face cause he'll kill the shit out of you before you know what's happening. And we haven't even covered his best weapon yet.'''

Wiz: Right. The Sharingan.

Boomstick: It's a super eye.

Death Battle
KO!

Wiz: The winner is...
