Naruto 591 is an epic chapter featuring Dan and Madara Uchiha. Dan is released by the Edo Tensei, but uses one of his techniques to travel around in his form to go to see Tsunade one more time. Madara Uchiha is here to stay as he releases the Edo Tensei from his own body! The one and only risk within the Edo Tensei is revealed as Madara is now able to stay in his form as long as he likes.

Naruto 591 begins with Itachi with his head against Sasuke’s. He then starts to disappear as his soul within the body starts to ascend from it while the dummy body degrades and goes to the floor. Sasuke looks at Itachi as he’s in current shock. He keeps on looking. In front of his lies Kabuto who’s still in the Izanami and a dead dummy shinobi who was a shell for Itachi. Sasuke goes on to say “I” when we move somewhere else.

We can now see that other Edo Tensei summoned people have are also now being ascended as their souls are going above their flesh body while the flesh body starts to degrade like it does to the other Edo Tensei subjects.

Back at the Madara Uchiha battlefield, the Kage’s notice that there’s a large light going above from his to the skies. Onoki says that his Susanoo has disappeared and that the trash that surrounds the dummy body is swirling, Madara suggests that the Edo Tensei has been released. Tsunade states that they’ve still been looking for Kabuto, but she thinks that someone else has gotten there first and stopped the technique. Onoki tells them that who ever did this is a hero and has protected the Shinobi World.

Madara tells the Kage’s that they’ve still got some skilled Shinobi’s. It can’t be helped, says Madara. It seems as though he’s going to be doing something reckless. Somewhere else, where Dan is located, he tells Choza to dissolve the barrier because he’s got full control of himself now. Dan uses the Renka No Jutsu (Literally meaning The Spirit Transformation) which allows him to straight to Tsunade. Choza tells him he doesn’t have enough time. He get’s moving.

A shinobi asks Choza what the Spirit Transformation Technique means. Choza tells her that it’s usually used by a vengeful spirit which allows them to cross the distance between you and the opponent, it allows them to kill their opponent because of this. But this time Dan has used it to go and see Tsunade because it’s the only thing which materializes his body for a good amount of time so he could go and see her.

At the Madara battlefield, He goes on a full frontal attack, he uses Katon Ryuuen Houka No Jutsu which spits fireballs like objects at the Kage’s. Mei tries to counterattack but seems as though she wont be able to because the attack is too fast. Tsunade steps forward and jumps. She uses her hands as defence, she heals herself. At this point, her Strength of a Hundred Technique disappears. Madara’s soul starts to ascend when the body itself starts to mix back with the soul. It’s as though it’s going back! It fully comes back and Madara enables his Susanoo with his sword.

The Kage’s realize that she’s falling and Madara is likely to kill her. As it gets closer it stabs someone else. Madara realize that somethings happened, all the Kage’s also see that somethings wrong. Tsunade hears a familiar voice, she notices it Dan. He explains what happened and why he’s there. He tells Tsunade that she is the flesh of his dreams that live on through him. He kisses her on the head like she did when he was small.

Madara notices that she has returned her vitality as she received some chakra from Dan. Mei notices that Madara’s body should have been released by now, it’s as though he’s chakra is clinging into his body, as it seems as it has come back. Even if the Edo Tensei is released he’s not disappears! Madara explains that there is only one risk to the Edo Tensei, if the person called from the Edo Tensei knows the seals, he is able to cancel the Edo Tensei summoning contract. If that happens it’s literally an worst-case scenario because Madara seems to know it. An Immortal Body, Infinite Chakra and can no longer be controlled or suppressed!

The Kage’s notices that Madara has just said and are shocked by it. Madara tells the Kage’s to notify the person who used this technique that they shouldn’t use a forbidden technique so carelessly! Madara here releases the control which Kabuto had on him, he’s now an ultimate power as this point. Naruto 591 ends here!

What an incredible chapter! Madara has now released the control Kabuto had and is able to literally do what ever he pleases with his ultimate and infinite power he has! He could obliterate everything with his Stabilized Final Susanoo Form if he can get to it now. I literally can’t wait for next week’s Naruto 582 when we continue with this incredible situation!

Naruto 593 is a little early this week with its must read chapter! Sasuke calls up on to Orochimaru, after getting some DNA from Kabuto, Sasuke was able to revive Orochimaru. Orochimaru then absorbs his own chakra which was lent to Kabuto for the time being. Sasuke tells Orochimaru that he must do a few things for him.

Naruto 593 starts off as Suigetsu is shocked at Sasuke as he mentions that he will have to meet Orochimaru. Then he asks who this “Human who knows Everything” person is. It seems that Sasuke is not referring to Orochimaru as the person who knows everything. Sasuke dismisses his questions because he doesn’t want to waste time explaining it to him.

Suigetsu suggests that Sasuke will use Orochimaru to use the power in the scroll, or even that Orochimaru is will teach Sasuke to use this power. Suigetsu then suggests that he doesn’t need to do such a thing because Sasuke can easily learn this within a few tries. Sasuke then again dismisses Suigetsu in order to revive Orochimaru.

Sasuke asks Suigetsu if he underestimates Orochimaru, Suigetsu gets angry and reverses the question to Sasuke because he doesn’t seem to know the extent to which Orochimaru powers can go up to. He then tells Sasuke that the only reason Sasuke was able to defeat Orochimaru was because Orochimaru did not have the use of his arms because of the Shiki Fuujin! Thus Sasuke is underestimating him.

Suigetsu keeps on babbling and tells Sasuke that he’s probably take part in the war because he also wants to destroy Konoha! Suigetsu keeps on going when he says that no one wants to see Orochimaru again, nor do they need him screwing with their plans.

Sasuke asks Suigetsu to be quite because he’s talking too much. Sasuke tells Suigetsu to get a piece of Kabuto’s body, Suigetsu tells him that he won’t do such a thing because he doesn’t want to revive Orochimaru. Juugo offers to help Sasuke because Sasuke’s Will is Kimimaro’s Will too so he will obey him. Juugo gets a piece of Kabuto and places it on  the  seal of Anko.

Sasuke then taps the cells which Juugo obtained from Kabuto. This grows a piece of scale and into a snakes face. It grows more and more until Orochimaru’s body appears! Suigetsu stands behind Kabuto’s body scared. Orochimaru faces Sasuke to tell him that he would not have guessed that Sasuke would revive him! Orochimaru gets up to notice Suigetsu and Kabuto.

Sasuke confronts Orochimaru as quickly as he can because he wants something. Sasuke tells that he wants to ask him something. Orochimaru tells him that there is no need because he’s keep listening about all of this. Orochimaru explains that his Senjutsu chakra was poured into Anko’s seal, when he was released, his consciousness was also released and he was revived. Sasuke asks if he wants to take part in the war? Orochimaru tells him that he has no interest in this war.

He tells him that it was started by someone else and that he is only interested is Sasuke’s body. Orochimaru tells him that he has no power to steal it because he was just recently revived. Sasuke hands over the scroll, Orochimaru asks why Sasuke wants to meet “them” for, unclear who them are. Sasuke tells Orochimaru that he currently knows nothing about it, he wants to hear everything from them.

Sasuke wants to learn from the beginning about everything, he is also in need of knowledge. He asks himself what was the beginning, how should I be, what actions should I take? He currently doesn’t know anything about himself. Orochimaru asks Sasuke if he’s not sure about taking revenge. Sasuke replies that he’s not doting on the revenge itself. Reuniting with his brother added to his hatred, but what he did was that he became a betrayer and died, was all to protect the village.

Sasuke wants to know everything! Think about it on his own and make his own answer. So he can state at what must be done with his eyes and his own will! Orochimaru quickly comes with the answer that he was manipulated by Itachi, because he’s far different from when he and Tobi were using him.

As Orochimaru walks towards Kabuto, Suigetsu moves and suggests that he’s going to take Kabuto’s powers and kill him. Suigetsu suggests that he may take his head as well as he’ll become stronger. Orochimaru puts his hands on Kabuto’s shoulder and slowly takes his powers. Juugo tells him that Orochimaru took his own powers and left Kabuto’s Chakra untouched.

Orochimaru agrees and tells Sasuke that he’ll assist Sasuke with his journey. Sasuke asks where they are going, Orochimaru tells him that it’s a place where Sasuke knows very well. At this point, Sasuke faces Orochimaru and Orochimaru does the same to Sasuke! It seems that they are going to be transported somewhere! Naruto 593 ends here!

What a crazy episode! That was a lot of talking and to make it all make sense was hard! But Sasuke has a good will and hopefully he will get the answer he is looking for where ever he may go! Hopefully Orochimaru doesn’t double cross him! Can’t wait for next week’s Naruto 594, commemorating the soon to be released movie, there will be lead color pages in the next two chapters!

Naruto Shippuden 278 explains why the Medic Ninja’s are also strong, not just the ninja’s at the front line. We see both Itachi and Nagato walk around trying to find a reason why they’re there. We also see Neji who overused his eyes and was sent to the Medic are to get help, however this Neji was a White Zetsu who started to kill some of the Jonin Medics.

Naruto Shippuden 278 starts out as a bunch of shinobi’s are sitting down and trying to get some rest, they all talk to each other but have no hope. Both Kiba and Neji keep on looking. Neji keeps overusing his eyes when he falls down for overusing his eyes. Kiba tells him to calm down and go to the medic tents to get help.

Both Nagato and Itachi are walking, they discuss about the Akatsuki and how they were both used for a superior powers. Even this time they’re being used. Itachi thinks that when the time is correct Kabuto will use the Rinnegan and Mangekyou Sharingan to do anything he wants.

At the medical tents many people are injured and are at the end of their lives. Neji appears at the front, they ask him to halt while they scan him to make sure that he’s not a clone or an enemy. While Sakura helps some shinobi’s we see Neji walk in. We also see someone who looks very suspicious looking outside of Sakura’s tent.

Neji and Sakura talk, he says that he needs to work as hard as he can because he must be the one to notice things before anyone else. During that night, we see a Jonin Medic get murdered and killed by a man who we do not yet know.

That night, three people were assassinated, the Jonin’s gather and decide what they should do. Neji arrives and asks himself that it could be anyone from this place, it could be anyone even himself. While another person is watching from a distance, it seems that it could be this mysterious person.

Sakura gets ready to settle down at her tent when this mysterious person starts to walk towards her tent. Somewhere else, two Jonin’s are talking and asking themselves if they know the opposite person well enough, they discuss and it gets all confusing. Neji arrives at their tent

He asks where Sakura’s tent is, he tells them that he’s noticed someone following her. They say it’s tent three. The mysterious person walks into the tent while Sakura watches. At the other tent, it’s revealed that Neji is the bad guy and he stabs the Jonin Medics.

The mysterious persons thanks Sakura for her help and gives her a love letter, he reveals that he likes her very much, she then says thank you and tell him that she’s already in love with someone else. Before he leaves he says he’s sorry and says that he must be a great man.

Sakura sits down and remembers Sasuke. At this point, we see him leave and Neji behind him. Both Nagato and Itachi are talking, he finds out that the user is preventing them from encountering the enemy. They keep talking and try to come up with a plan to all this nonsense.

Neji walks behind Sakura and asks if she’s okay. He says that they must not get discouraged because it will be a bad thing. The real Neji is still at the place where he rests and keeps on arguing with Kiba and Akamaru. Hinata is also watching with Shino, he says she should also not overwork herself.

She says that she is doing this to protect Naruto because this war is about him. We return to Sakura’s tent where Sakura and Neji are talking, he asks her where Shizune is, she reveals it, he tells her that he’s getting an idea of who it could be. Sakura reveals that she’s treating Tonton.

Neji mistakenly says that it’s better than a bad hand injury, he then asks if they’re be able to rejoin the battle. Sakura then stupidly says that Tonton, who is a pig, can still weave signs. Neji says that it’s a good thing that they can still weave signs. Neji asks Sakura for her help because his hand is still hurting.

Sakura tells Neji to sit down. As he approaches, he grabs a Kunai from his pouch and tries to cut Sakura. But out of nowhere Sakura quickly smash Neji with her monstrous strength. Neji finds out from Sakura that Tonton is an actual pig and cannot weave signs.

Sakura asks how he was able to get in undetected. She remembers that the only way they can transform into someone else would be to actually take their chakra, which Zetsu was able to take from Neji. White Zetsu is impressed at Sakura’s knowledge. Sakura tells some other people to take care of this White Zetsu while goes to report to HQ.

Somewhere else, two shinobi’s are faced by a White Zetsu who’s transformed. They are both killed at the lake. At the HQ, they receive multiple reports about this incident. They found out that the battle before was just to collect chakra to which they can attack at night.

They also find out that they’re White Zetsu’s who are able to take form of any person whose chakra has been absorbed. Shikaku keeps on thinking of a plan to counter attack this. He’s pressured and he tries to calm himself down. Naruto Shippuden 278 ends here.

That was a good episode, specially seeing Sakura’s monstrous power. Also nice seeing that Hinata still has strong feelings about Naruto, and her will to protect him is strong. Can’t wait for next week’s Naruto Shippuden 279, titled “White Zetsu’s Trap”, when Hinata, Shino and Kiba are all captured by a White Zetsu within a cave.

Sasuke Uchiha is one of the main characters with Naruto and Sakura, he started off as a protagonist but later became an antagonist through his desire to gain as much power within as short time as possible. He was part of Team 7 but then was though to be criminal for attacking the Kage’s. His current location is unknown but it seems that he’s gone with his master Orochimaru.

Sasuke’s always been an awesome and epic character, even if he’s a antagonist, he’s nature and the way he’s been brought up may not be the conventional way but it’s such that brought up a powerful and crazy character. The image above shows his step by step process up until his current condition.

The first image (Left to right), is an image of him as a little boy, it was when both him and Itachi had the most fun as well as when Sasuke had a carefree life, after some time Itachi went rogue and killed everyone except Sasuke, this lead to Sasuke joining the Shinobi Academy in pursue of power in the second image.

He didn’t find what he was looking for, he was still way too weak compared to how Naruto was. He was getting help from Jiraiya who enabled him to teach lots of new and much more powerful techniques like the Rasengan and Summoning the Sage, this lead Sasuke to go rogue and leaving the village to join Orochimaru in the third image.

The fourth image describes Sasuke environment when he had killed Orochimaru and gone with his Team Hawk and joined the Akatsuki for a while, although it wasn’t his biggest jump in rank, he was able to help Obito (Tobi) in doing a few missions. He gave up in that quickly and went into doing his own thing within the Fifth Image.

During the sixth, Sasuke was met by his brother, Itachi where he forced him to all of his question, although Itachi was in his Edo Tensei form, controlled by Kabuto, he was able to get free and obtain movement using Naruto. During this point, Sasuke and Itachi both defeat Kabuto using Izanagi and Izanami. Sasuke then had to rebirth Orochimaru to make him answer a few question. This was the last of when we saw him.

The fantastic image above was drawn by the talented Apostoll, go and check his awesome work on different fan arts from Naruto series.

Naruto Shippuden 298 once again proves why Itachi is such a bad ass! Naruto and Killer Bee against Itachi and Nagato! They all meet, unfortunately Itachi and Nagato are being controlled by Kabuto. However, using Shisui Uchiha’s Eyes, Itachi is fully able to escape Kabuto’s grasp and able to do as he wishes. Unfortunately, Kabuto still has control of Nagato which he uses in order to fight Naruto and Bee!

Naruto Shippuden 298 begins with Nagato and Itachi walking a head, still being controlled by Kabuto. They notice something unusual as they may be fighting someone soon. Naruto and Killer Bee approach them, Naruto is surprised by them as they’ve fought before.

Itachi and Nagato mentions that Naruto’s changed a bit, Naruto tells them that he’s currently controlling Kurama’s Chakra, he calls that form his Chakra Mode, Nagato mentions that it’s not the only thing that has changed, it’s also his face, he’s a lot more confident and has a lot more power to which he can use. Itachi is surprised that Naruto is able to command Kurama’s Chakra.

Nagato then mentions that they were both students by the same teacher, and that he’s not surprised that he’s progressed so much. Bee mentions that he’s also his teacher and that he’s helped him enable his Chakra Mode. He thanks all of them for being there. Kabuto notices that he’s already found Naruto and Bee way before Tobi!

Kabuto enables the fighting style within both Nagato and Itachi, which makes Itachi quickly launch Fireball Jutsu! Bee stops this using his Samehada! Itachi notices that since Bee has the sword, Kisame may have been killed. Itachi quickly attacks from the top, as Naruto blocks, they keep on talking, Itachi asks how Sasuke is.

Naruto tells him that he’s still on the wrong side, he’s joined the Akatsuki and wants to destroy the village. Naruto also mentions that he’s found out about his top-secret mission, Nagato is surprised to know that Itachi had eliminated most of the Uchiha except for Sasuke in order to save the Konoha!

Instead of Sasuke following through Itachi’s wishes, he’s going to try to destroy the village. This is his way of resolving his pain by destroying the village which they caused on his beloved older brother. Itachi isn’t surprised to know that Tobi knew the truth about him. Itachi asks if anyone else knows about this, Naruto mentions that only Yamato and Kakashi who were there too. Itachi tells Naruto to not tell anyone else.

Nagato is controlled, he uses his forces to pull Naruto as well as a large rock together  At near contact, Naruto uses his Chakra Mode to help him escape from the crash with the rock! Itachi mentions that it was the right thing to do to entrust Naruto with dealing with Sasuke. Unfortunately, Nagato then summons a large dog like creature with two heads, and a large bird.

Naruto is faced with dealing with Nagato while Itachi deals with Killer Bee. Itachi appears behind Bee, he uses his Samehada but misses Itachi. Itachi uses his Shuriken mixed with Fire. Bee quickly uses his hand while it’s transformed into Eight Tails hand to stop them.

When Itachi touches the floor, Killer Bee’s tentacle appears and grabs Itachi to which it restrains him. Naruto keeps on attacking the Dog like animal, unfortunately, Naruto finds out that every time he attacks the animal it gains a head. Bee approaches Itachi, unfortunately for Bee, he’s gotten goes under Itachi’s genjutsu, his Tailed Beast wakes him up. Samehada helps him out by giving him his sword to which he uses to block the attacks.

Bee uses his sword in order to attack and restrains Itachi, at one point he launches his sword up high, and it tries to cut Itachi. At this moment, Naruto tries to use his Rasen Shuriken but unfortunately doesn’t work as it just creates more heads. Nagato tells Naruto to attack him instead. At the same time, Itachi approaches Nagato and gets ready to enable his Mangekyou Sharingan to which it seems like he’s going to use his Amaterasu! Naruto warns Bee not to get hit by that attack.

Itachi enables it and the weirdest thing happens next, from nowhere appears a crow with a Mangekyou Sharingan already enabled on the crow! It comes out of Naruto’s mouth! It appears out and Nagato is surprised that he used such a technique! Naruto remembers a moment in the past where he was given a crow by Itachi, this was at the time when they were going to save Gaara.

Itachi enables a jutsu, it seems like it’s Amaterasu, Bee tries to send one of his swords but doesn’t work as it’s pushed away by Nagato. Itachi enables the jutsu and somehow it interacts with the Eye which has been implanted into the crow. Kabuto is shocked to see what’s happened. The crow returns to Naruto.

Somehow Itachi uses Amaterasu on the dog like creature in which he stands, it starts burning the creature, Itachi also uses on the bird in which he stand, it also gets a hit on Nagato. He falls down to earth and start to burn. The bird he was standing on is also destroyed just like the dog in which he summoned.

Itachi approaches Naruto and tells him that he’s used a genjutsu to null the Edo Tensei. He prepared that crow in order to respond to his Mangekyou Sharingan for times like these. Kabuto also figures out that the eye on the crow can only be Shisui Uchiha’s! Who’s been described the strongest Uchiha which can control people’s mind without them even knowing it. He had the strongest Mangekyou Sharingan, the Koto Amatsukami!

Using that, he was able to restore his old self. He programmed the genjutsu to protect the Leaf into Shisui’s eye to which he put into the crow’s left eye. He never realized that he would have to be used it on himself someday. Naruto asks why he had the eye and why did he give it to Naruto. He answers that Shisui gave it to Itachi because he knew many people would have wanted the eye for themselves. He gave it to Naruto because he was trusted, plus he wanted to use it on Sasuke if ever he wanted to get Itachi’s Eyes and develop his Mangekyou Sharingan, the crow would have helped him to realize that what he’s doing would have been a bad thing.

Unfortunately, it didn’t go according to plan. Naruto thanks Itachi for trusting him, he doesn’t have to worry anymore because he’s going to try and take care of everything, especially Sasuke! Itachi mentions that Sasuke is lucky to have a friend like him. Kabuto is happy to know that Shisui’s also there with them. He uses Nagato’s almighty push to take all the Amaterasu flames off him. He starts to repair, he’s also turned bad and now fully controlled by Kabuto.

He disappears and first uses his Almighty Push to push everyone away! Then faces Bee who turns himself into his Bijuu Form with red and black, he uses his Lariat on Nagato, however Nagato uses his Gakido which sucks Chakra from Bee, it seems like ti’s also restored his Red Hair as well as a lot of his chakra. He then Pushes Bee then get Naruto in his Ningendo which starts to suck Naruto’s Life Force when Naruto Shippuden 298 ends.

A great episode plus a lot has been revealed, It seems like Itachi may again have to help them out since Nagato is an impressive opponent. During next week’s Naruto Shippuden 299, titled “The Acknowledge One”, when we see Itachi help them using his Susanoo, as well as see a lot of Bijuu Dama action from Bee. Nagato may try to create a small planet again!

Naruto 619 finally fills the Hokage’s once more as Hashirama is though to be a Shinobi God but in fact a pretty funny guy, while his brother Tobirama seems to be one who’s serious and even knew that the Uchiha were plotting against Konoha. Sasuke starts by asking his fundamental question, which was about Itachi to Hiruzen which confirms it to be true. Tobirama explains why the Uchiha loved and hated so much while Hashirama is asked why he even created the Shinobi!

Naruto 619 begins strong as they’re all faced the four Hokage’s! Suigetsu wonders that the First Hokage, the God of Shinobi has been revived! Tobirama, the second Hokage is once again pissed off for Orochimaru’s actions as he’s brought them back again. Hashirama asks what’s going on. Hiruzen mentions that Orochimaru broke the Shikifujin Seal that bound them and used his Edo Tensei on them!

Minato is shocked that Orochimaru was actually able to pull it off, Orochimaru tells him not to underestimate him, it was originally a technique of the Uzumaki Clan, but once his ability to use his hands and jutsu’s went, he spent his downtime investigating ruins and examining private documents of long-lost clans. Minato mentions to Hashirama that they’ve all been revived using the Edo Tensei!

Hashirama is confused, but asks who the hell he is, Minato turns and shows him that he’s the Fourth Hokage. He’s happy that the village has endured for quite some time, Minato tells him that he can’t confirm this because he died and got sealed long before the third! Hashirama’s face drops and is confused that it seems like they were sealed together!

He tells him that it happened a little differently then expected. Hashirama asks who the Fifth Hokage is, Orochimaru reveals it to be Princess Tsunade, his grand daughter. From happy to sad as he mentions if the village is still standing! Minato tells him to have faith, he then mentions that he used to spoil her, plus she had gambling issues. Suigetsu is confused to see the God of Shinobi not quite living up to his legend.

Tobirama interrupts and asks if Orochimaru’s using the Edo Tensei, it seems like his technique is easy to mimic, Orochimaru tells him that it’s rather straight forward. Orochimaru talks about the newer generation when Tobirama asks if he plans on attacking the village, Hiruzen mentions that he sacrificed his self to cripple his abilities to use his hands, he asks how it’s even possible, he asks if he even plans on going up against the Leaf Village!

Hashirama is upset that the world is still in constant turmoil, he mentions that Orochimaru was correct that it’s a jutsu that can run forever.  While Hashirama speaks, Tobirama tells him to shut up, he mentions that he hasn’t finished his talk with Orochimaru yet. Orochimaru tells them that he doesn’t plan on destroying the Leaf, if they noticed he didn’t even bother neutralizing their personalities.

His mission here is to revive them so that someone could speak to them. Sasuke appears and introduces himself, he asks wants to know a few things. Hiruzen is shocked, Tobirama mentions that it would have been his fault for doing something like this. Hashirama shouts telling Tobirama to not speak and twists things making them look like the bad guys, while Tobirama mentions that Hashirama is compassionate as ever.

He quickly stops them to ask Hiruzen why they gave Itachi those orders, Hiruzen realizes that Sasuke knows about everything, he killed Itachi and got his revenge for the rest of the Uchiha Clan. Sasuke mentions that Tobi and Danzou told him the truth, that’s when he decided the Leaf must pay. However it seems like he needs to hear it from Hiruzen himself.

Hiruzen mentions that they ordered him to kill his clan, then was branded a traitor, they also had him infiltrate the Akatsuki and act as their lone spy. Itachi at a very young age was very interesting in the legacy and ancestry of his predecessors, his astuteness about the villages origins and the Shinobi that bore from it was probably the reason why. He never really had strong connection with his family and clan. He was able to see the bigger picture and what he saw made him very restless.

From his age his wisdom was already the same as that of a Hokage, so they placed burden of his young shoulders and welcome it with open arms and treated it like a personally mission. He slaughtered his entire clan to prevent the coup. He also stopped a even larger bloodshed that would have come later, he also agreed to join the Akatsuki as their spy, all for the sake of the village. While at the same time, that he shields his brother, Sasuke, from harm! Sasuke gets a little upset and notices that it was all true.

Tobirama mentions that it was their fate for doing such a thing, he knew that they were rebelling as they had Madara’s will. Orochimaru mentions that he closed them down by forming the Konoha Military Police Force, he goes on to explain that those who keep peace are often viewed in a negative manner, plus he even build their Headquarters in a location that was a prison, under the disguise that he was maintaining peace, he knowingly chased them to the outskirts of the village. He also made the conditions very favorable for Madara to gain his lead.

Hashirama starts to shout at Tobirama for pulling such actions, he told him to stop persecuting the Uchiha, Tobirama mentions that he simply gave them a duty that they could exceed at. Also, he cannot blame him for what Madara did, he should know better than anyone else that the Uchiha are a cursed clan!

Orochimaru asks that they’ve been fixated on Madara, why does he frighten them so much ,Tobirama mentions that he knows nothing about them. Sasuke asks Tobirama, what does he think the Uchiha are and what are they do him. He goes on to explain that they’ve been mortal enemies. The Senju valued friendship and love, while the Uchiha only valued their Jutsu’s alone.

Tobirama mentions that this is false, the Uchiha are the ones who valued love and friendship above all else, so much that it was necessary to seal them off. When a Uchiha comes to know any strong feelings, it’s as if a torrent has unleashed within them. It awakens something even greater than what the Senju know. Suigetsu mentions that if they’re both filled with love then they should be able to get along, Tobirama agrees but there is a problem to this. The Uchiha’s feelings are in fact too powerful.

When a Uchiha goes through strong feelings, it transforms into something such as hatred to which it consumes them. He’s seen it a large number of times. This causes the brains to release a special kind of chakra that affects their optic nerves. The eye that reflects their feelings, the Sharingan!

The Sharingan mirror those feelings of despair and anguish and gives the user a considerable boost in power. Those whole come to experience those strong emotions invariably become consumed by a depraved path! That path leads to the path to which they fall and it’s harder for them to come back, in this case, they can refer to Madara. Madara’s younger brother meant the world to him, even more than what Sasuke was to Itachi!

He tried to channel that power to somewhat that the Uchiha would call benefit but it seems like they used that power to destroy their own kind. At least in the end their power server the greater good. Hashirama quickly steps in to tells Tobirama to be a little respectful as they’re in front of a pure Uchiha child. Tobirama tells them that he’s always cared about the greater good for the village.

Sasuke quickly enables his Mangekyou Sharingan, mentions that he doesn’t care what tone he uses, he’s neither a pure nor a child. Tobirama quickly notices that Sasuke’s eyes have changed into his Mangekyou Sharingan! Sasuke finally asks Hashirama about what the legacy of the village is, and what purpose do the Shinobi fill in his village! This is when Naruto 619 ends!

What an awesome chapter! It’s finally getting to the better parts! Hopefully we see some awesome and fantastic action from them soon, possibly in the war? Or I’d like them to finally go into the specifics of how it all began which could be during next week’s Naruto 620! Can’t wait for it, it’s going to be awesome!

Naruto Shippuden 299 brings another fantastic episode as well as an end and a beginning to their quest. Itachi is fully able to neutralize Nagato as well as seal him, Naruto is also told by Itachi that with great power comes great responsibility. We find out that Itachi’s mission is to bring Kabuto down as well as stop the Edo Tensei. Kabuto gets ready to bring out his trump card to show us someone that will definitely be ruthless in the war!

Naruto Shippuden 299 continues from last week’s episode as Naruto’s been captured and trying to escape. Nagato who’s fully under the Edo Tensei has captured Naruto and is trying to pull out Naruto’s Soul, he notices that he’s not seen this jutsu before. He counts that Nagato has many jutsu. Then uses his Rasengan, to which Nagato absorbs, he notices that he’s previously confirmed that he can absorb.

Nagato enables his Jigokudo which Naruto remembers as being his revive jutsu. Kabuto finds out that he can take out Naruto’s soul, hide his body and bring him to life later on with his control, all this without Tobi finding out. Nagato keeps on pulling while Naruto keeps on pulling also. He keeps on losing power at this point.

Bee keeps on getting closer to them when he’s above them, the animals notices him, and as he gets to attacking rage, Nagato captured and stops him without moving. He uses his body to stop him, Nagato’s arm changes into a gun type machine which gets closer to his face, it charges and gets closer to attacking. At this point, Itachi’s Susanoo appears and it cuts off Nagato’s arms. We notice that the animals eyes has been damaged by shuriken. Naruto and Bee are held by the Susanoo.

Naruto and Bee thank Itachi. Nagato gets up while his arms repair. Kabuto thinks of another plan to which he can use. He thinks about the justu which makes a small planet. When Nagato’s arm is repaired, he enables his Planetary Devastation Jutsu which destroys the ground and makes a small black whole type object which sucks a lot of the ground.

Naruto mentions that it’s a jutsu which cannot be gone against as they would die instantly. Itachi tells Naruto if it’s such a deadly jutsu, why didn’t it kill Naruto. He has one of those stupid Naruto moments. Bee laughs, Itachi tells them that to every jutsu there is always a negative aspect. He quickly comes up that they need to shoot at the middle point to destroy it.

Itachi quickly enables his Susanoo and uses his Yasaka Beads, Bee uses his Bijuu Dama and Naruto launches his Rasen Shuriken. It creates a large explosion to which destroys a lot of the landscape. Although Nagato is far enough to not get too damaged. Once the smoke disappears, we quickly notices that Nagato stands, at one point, he’s quickly attacked by Itachi’s Susanoo!

It bring Nagato back, the smoke clears and he’s able to see them. He says that he’s sorry for doing all this. Itachi notices that he’s back, he tells him that it’s the Totsuka Blade. We go to a past moment when Orochimaru appeared, and was attacked and sealed away, however he escaped during Sasuke and Itachi’s fight. The sword is helpful when sealing away things.

Nagato looks at Naruto telling him that he’s the third and final novel of the collection, the first being Jiraiya, the second being Nagato himself, who was a failure and the third being Naruto when he’ll be able to finish the books with such a spectacle! He also mentions that he’ll return to Jiraiya’s side to watch how Naruto’s life plays out.

Naruto notices Jiraiya and Nagato being him who seems to be smiling at Naruto. Naruto gives him a thumb up, at this point, he’s being sucked in to which he says farewell. Kabuto notices that Itachi was able to defeat him without doing much, he played it out very well and tricked him. He mentions that it’s the perfect time to being out his special reserve!

Itachi tells Bee and Naruto that he leaves Tobi to them while he’ll take care of Kabuto and his Edo Tensei, he’s got an idea to stopping the Edo Tensei. Naruto tells him that he’ll stop him, he makes a clone when his Chakra Mode fails, Itachi goes on to tell him that he’s strong but he must notice that if he doesn’t trust other, he’ll end up just like Tobi, he needs to trust others like he’s done with others. He’s shown his power to get approval from his friends, but he also needs to trust them. Naruto remembers all the close friends he’s got in the village.

Itachi burns the crow telling Naruto that he doesn’t want anybody else to use his eyes because its way to powerful! Bee also tells Naruto that Bee asked him to take care of Naruto. as Itachi nearly departs, he tells Bee to take care of Naruto when he leaves. Naruto quickly goes into his Chakra Mode and is quickly ready to go when Naruto Shippuden 299 ends here!

A great episode but the ending was a little dragged on, although can’t wait for next week’s Naruto Shippuden 300, titled “The Mizukage, the Giant Clam, and the Mirage”, episode when we see the Kage’s go on an all out war on the others, they even go as far as to attack and bring out their Summoning, Onoki, Naruto and Gaara are having a hard time attacking them!

Sasuke and Itachi from the Uchiha Clan have gone through quite a lot in order to find what their callings are. Itachi, as mentioned by Hiruzen to Sasuke, he was ordered to eliminate his whole clan in order to prevent a war between the Leaf and Uchiha Clan! Sasuke confirms this in the latest manga. He may also genuinely want to destroy and make the Leaf pay for this cruel fate for his brother Itachi!

The incredible image above was drawn by SatokoChaaan who dedicates it to her fiancée for his birthday. He asked her for an awesome image with Itachi, Sasuke and Hinata, as seen in the above image. She’s done a great job of putting it all together  even with the Susanoo, notice that the hands have 6 fingers and 1 thumb. So if you like this work from her, I suggest you check her other fan art!

Sasuke’s absolute hate has gone past normal, it’s on a level to which he has the ability to tear down the walls of any village and infiltrate to destroy it. There is one person who can stop him, that being Naruto. Sasuke thought process from the very start has been flawed, his mission to get his revenge on his brother, Itachi, drove him to many dark places, even to Tobi who promised to Itachi that he will bring no harm to him.

This absolutely amazing image of Sasuke Uchiha shows how art can truly be at it’s finest! The artist, kivi1230 who drew such a fantastic piece of fan art has done a magnificent job of creating the hatred Sasuke had during his battle with Danzo. This feature is also a small present towards the author as their late present.

Naruto 627 doesn’t leave us hanging as it properly illustrates what will be the most exciting thing to happen in Naruto. Sasuke finally chooses what he’s going to do, which is to leave with Hashirama’s story and decide to join the fight, he won’t let his brother’s or village’s efforts go to waste. Orochimaru also gives the Hokage’s full control to which they’ll go to help defeat Madara.

Naruto 533 begins with Sasuke repeating Hashirama’s meaning of what a Shinobi is, Hashirama’s goal was to build the village but Madara found another way, to which he can erase the shinobi world. Sasuke tells him that it’s the Infinite Tsukuyomi which will use his Genjutsu to which he will be able to control what ever he likes after getting everyone’s control.

What Itachi, Madara’s brother and Hashirama tried to protect will turn into nothing, everyone notices Sasuke’s just said. Itachi was the one who inherited his will despite never having heard about it from him. He endured far more than he did and died a proud shinobi of the leaf. It’s ironic that in the end, the one shinobi that understood Hashirama was a Uchiha.

Tobirama also goes on to mention that it wasn’t just his brother, there were some subordinates which he had which were there to protect the village, for example Kagami Uchiha. Sasuke asks if he didn’t hate the Uchiha. Tobirama mentions that this is not completely true, he simple thought that they should be careful of clans that pose a danger to the village, the Uchiha were this.

It’s true that they were very devoted, there were also many just like his brother which surpassed the boundaries of their clan for their village. Hashirama thought that the village would break the boundaries of this, but it wasn’t that simple, Hashirama was too soft, his role as the Second Hokage was toe mediate between them while protecting and reinforcing the village.

Hiruzen mentions that Kagami’s son, Shisui Uchiha was also a friend of Itachi, he was the same which inherited the will. However, Hiruzen blames himself for letting Danzo’s darkness take care of a part of the village. Sasuke mentions that he had killed Danzo for his revenge, he declared that he was also just protecting the village. Hiruzen mentions that all he did was make mistakes.

Minato steps in to tell him that it’s not his fault, he did a great job, he died when Kurama attacked, he also had high hopes for Minato, however after he died this fell short. Orochimaru mentions that he left Orochimaru out in order to choose Minato. Suigetsu asks if Orochimaru’s sulking, he mentions that yeah since they’re in front of the third. Minato mentions that if he had lived, he would have stopped the Uchiha force.

Orochimaru asks Sasuke what he’s going to do, will he be destroying the village or do something else. Sasuke remembers the last words from Itachi, at the end he chooses to go to the battlefield, he won’t let the village and his brother’s efforts go to waste. Hashirama agrees then tells Tobirama to prepare to fly outside.

Tobirama mentions that they’re still bound, Orochimaru is asked what he’ll do, he prepares to follow Sasuke and at this point, he’ll give them their control back. Suigetsu mentions that he’s surrounded by idiots, he needs a way to escape. They get outside, Hashirama likes what he sees, Suigetsu goes for the run when Karin appears, she detected Sasuke’s chakra and followed.

Orochimaru asks if Sasuke’s still her soft spot, she gives Sasuke a hug, Suigetsu judges and mentions that their forces will definitely surprise Madara. Hiruzen asks why he is cooperating with Sasuke, while he was inside Kabuto he realized that when he was copied it was a bad choice from him. He’s just interested in Sasuke’s different path, unlike Kabuto, Sasuke didn’t try to imitate him, thus he’s interested.

The Hokage’s get up and go to their faces, Minato mentions that he can finally meet Naruto, this time he will be able to make up for everything he wasn’t able to do as a father, he’ll also bring him a big present. Hiruzen mentions that it’s his big fight in a while, he’ll have to stay focused. Tobirama mentions that this time he’ll definitely crush him. Hashirama mentions that he’s excited to meet his long time friend.

Every era has its battles, but this will be the last war, mentions Hashirama when Hiruzen and Minato land on their faces. He also shouts for them to quickly go after Hashirama and Tobirama land on their faces. The strongest soldiers have finally arrived and ready! Naruto 627 ends here.

What a fantastic chapter, they’re finally ready to go to the battlefield, however it’s most likely that it will take a few more chapters until they finally reach the amazing battlefield. It’s also most likely that they’ll reach there while Naruto and the others are at the end of their lives. Can’t wait for next week’s Naruto 628 when we see more awesomeness!

Naruto Shippuden 331 sheds some light on what happened with Sasuke and the others, after they got captured Suigetsu and Jugo got free and head to Orochimaru’s secret hideout to find that behind a large wall there are plans from Orochimaru to change the balance of the war! Sasuke walks to until Zetsu’s appear, he quickly enables his Susanoo and obliterates them with his Amaterasu. From then on we see Itachi trying to go somewhere.

Naruto Shippuden 331 begins with Sasuke walking through town which have nothing, not even a person. Jugo and Suigetsu both realise that there is a war going on. They mention that they need to look for Sasuke first. Konohamaru and his friends are scouting their village for anything bad. We notice Karin being captured by the Intel to get more information out of her.

She has a picture of Sasuke to which she mentions that she will kill him however as each point she holds and gets all affectionate towards him. After a few moments we see the real Karin to which she cuts the sides of the picture to find that below it are some tools to help her escape. Suigetsu and Jugo arrive at the hideout, they mention that is Orochimaru’s favourite spot.

They go in, Jugo begins to get head pains. Suigetsu is asked why he he’s with his team, we go to remember that Sasuke had freed Suigetsu and told him that he’s building a team, he explains to all of them that he has a goal to which he plans on killing his brother, Itachi. Suigetsu also mentions that he’d like to break apart both Karin and Sasuke. Suigetsu then mentions that Sasuke told them that once his mission is done, they can go.

However from then on, he made up the plan go destroy the Hidden Mist, he also even went as far to fight Killer Bee we see this part in which Sasuke nearly dies, while Suigetsu takes a hit from Bee’s Bijuu Dama. They even went up against the Raikage, they even got captured by their enemies to which they weren’t able to do much. At this point, Jugo gets pissed of at him to which he hits Suigetsu’s head and hits a wall, destroying. the room behind it opens and Suigetsu’s see’s a scroll to which he realises that it’s a very important one.

He mentions that Orochimaru had thought this far a head to which they can give that scroll to Sasuke to help him out. They go out and go towards another area to find Sasuke. A number of Zetsu’s appear behind Sasuke, he asks what is happening at that point, then indirectly mentions that he killed their original. He enables his Susanoo and kills most of them with his Amaterasu.

He gets a Zetsu and uses his Sharingan, he finds out that there is a war to kill Bee and Naruto. Sasuke remembers his moments with Naruto. Zetsu mentions that if he doesn’t hurry more of his friends will join him. Sasuke cuts Zetsu’s head and kills the remaining Zetsu. From then on he realises that he likes his eyes, we see Itachi in trees going towards a specific direction. Naruto Shippuden 331 ends here.

A chapter to which Sasuke is getting closer and closer to the battlefield. Only time will tell until he actually gets to the awesome battlefield. Can’t wait to see the Kage’s go up against a ruthless opponent such as Madara Uchiha during next week’s Naruto Shippuden 332, titled “A Will Of Stone”.

Naruto Shippuden 332 shows the truth to why Madara has Hashirama’s abilities, in fact it’s due to him having Hashirama’s face as well as cells giving him the ability to use his jutsu’s. The Kage’s keep on fighting Madara Uchiha only to keep getting pushed down more and more. Sasuke somehow meets Itachi during his way to the battlefield, from this he tells Itachi that what he did was wrong, and that he should have been killed. Itachi tells Sasuke he needs to stop Kabuto and the Edo Tensei.

Naruto Shippuden 332 begins with Onoki and Raikage attacking with their rock giant however Madara quickly counterattacks and gets them in the defensive. Madara then releases flowers which releases pollen with poison in them. Tsunade knows that Kabuto is up to this again, Kabuto mentions that Madara is now the strongest around. Mu is still being chased down by others.

Madara’s Susanoo appears and crushes them down towards the poison. To which he then lights them up using his fire. They’re within the fire and poison beneath. Mizukage fails to use her Water Style, Onoki and the others collapse from the poison. Onoki remembers when he was cleaning the rock which represented the Will of Stone. The first Tsuchikage explains to him that the rock can be anything, however it’s a matter of the will, if the person has it, they’ll prosper, however if that doesn’t happen they will go through a different path.

We see Onoki and Mu face Madara to which he tells them just to obey Konoha, this was the time in which Madara had just betrayed the village. Onoki gets up and faces Madara but is quickly defeated. Onoki gets up from the poison and uses his particle jutsu to which he creates a circular cut and blows it all away from him. Madara see’s that they’re all awake again and that Onoki can still play with him.

As Madara turns around they all notice that his chest is different, they can all spot that he has Hashirama’s face on his chest! This is how he’s been able to use Hashirama’s techniques. Kabuto mentions that this technique of using Hashirama’s cells is very beneficial for Madara.

Sasuke notices something strange to which he follows up and quickly notices Itachi going towards a separate way. He quickly follows Itachi and asks if it really is him, he uses his Susanoo and Itachi quickly counterattacks it, proving that it was him. He tells him to stop as he has a number of different questions. Itachi tells Sasuke that he has a mission and that he’s has to do it.

Sasuke asks if he’s running to avoid Sasuke’s questions, he mentions that he has planned on destroying the Leaf. Sasuke reveals that he has his eyes. Itachi remembers what Naruto had told him from before. Itachi mentions that Sasuke has changed, from which Sasuke mentions that it was because of him. Plus he wished that he had died then, then remembers what Tobi told him about how he shouldered everything just for the village and couldn’t even kill him.

Itachi mentions that he had left him because only a Uchiha could kill him, because of what he did. Sasuke is told that he was left alive because he didn’t know anything about the Uchiha clan. Itachi had filled Sasuke with hatred to which he never intended, he never wanted him to go that way, that is before he died he tried to lead him towards another direction.

Sasuke is confused to which paths he must walk, he doesn’t want to walk a clueless path, that is why Itachi changed him. He then mentions that Itachi wasn’t the only person to change Sasuke, it was also Naruto. Sasuke is unhappy that Itachi is still running away. He must stop the Edo Tensei. Madara keeps on regenerating from his injury.

Madara asks Tsunade if she’s related to Hashirama, because she’s a Senju. He then goes on to mention that he techniques are pathetic to which she must die because she cannot be compared. He was able to heal without weaving a sign, however she must do so. What Madara is fighting is childs play. He asks what his descendents have to show for him, they’re all just weak, calling Tsunade weak.

Tsunade steps in and mentions that she’s the descendent of Hashirama Senju, it is correct that she is a woman, however she is not a weak woman. She mentions that strength is not everything, it’s the fact that her powers are what she offers. It is also the awesome Will of Fire which she mentions to not be underestimated. Naruto Shippuden 332.

What an awesome episode, a lot has happened, Itachi and Sasuke reunite, Madara is ready to go on a rampage against them. It should be awesome to see how Tsunade and the other Kage’s show their full potential in their next fight, as well as to see Madara’s great powers. Can’t wait for next week’s Naruto Shippuden 333, titled “The Risks of Reanimation Jutsu”, when Itachi and Sasuke meet Kabuto, as well as Tsunade using her full potential to defeat Madara.

Naruto Shippuden 334 shows Kabuto’s potential as he gets underway on attacking both Sasuke and Itachi, from then on he mentions that his abilities that have increased dramatically to which he’s going to take both brothers out. He also mentions that he’s been to meet the White Snake Sage, however Sasuke and Itachi use an old technique to trap and attack Kabuto which seems to have worked. Meanwhile it seems that Kabuto may have already fallen for Itachi’s technique.

Naruto Shippuden 334 begins with Kabuto lowering his hood and quickly increasing the size of his snakes. It’s mentioned that the snakes can sense everything they’re going to do, they’re smell is also extremely accurate. Kabuto gets prepared and attacks both of them. They move back and crash onto a wall, Itachi opens his Susanoo to hold four snakes, to which Sasuke cuts two of them.

Sasuke goes for the attack to which Itachi pulls the snakes, it seems below the hood are nothing but snakes, he seems to have escaped from there to hide. Sasuke tells him to show up and stop hiding. Kabuto mentions that he underestimates him, Sasuke spots multiples numbers of chakra behind trees and unable to attack, the snakes seems to be melting.

Kabuto mentions that he’s been able to steal techniques from his friends, Suigetsu’s water ability to turn into water, as well as Karin’s ability to heal and to have great life force. As well as Jugo’s ability to use natural energy for his advantage. Sasuke asks if he’s received Orochimaru’s curse mark also, he mentions that he has not. He had to travel to Ryuchi Cave to which he was able to train with the White Snake Sage. Itachi is surprised that he did such a thing.

He mention that he was finally able to surpass Orochimaru, a snake spits out his arm as he begins to come out. Sasuke enables his Susanoo and a bow and arrow to which he recklessly attacks and misses. It also seems that Kabuto’s abilities have been amplified, especially his sensory as his able to feel Natural Energy. He mentions that Jugo’s clan had the ability to feel Natural energy and use it, to which many went mad, it was in the Ryuchi Cave.

Kabuto fully comes out of the snake in a brand new form, he seems to be using Sage Mode powers. Sasuke calls him a snake when Kabuto mentions he’s now a dragon and no longer a snake. Back at Madara vs Kage’s battle, it seems that Madara will enable Susanoo on all of them. The Kage’s are in real trouble, however Onoki mentions that they’re not going to fight alone, it’s going to be 5 vs 25, they have to work together! They attack!

At the HQ, they discuss that they’re in trouble, they know that the Kage’s are in trouble especially fighting Madara. They also can’t seem to find Kabuto, however he’s been fighting Itachi and Sasuke. Shikaku mentions that they can’t send anymore people, they can’t stretch more people out or else they’re front line will weaken.

Kabuto releases his Sage Art: White Extreme Attack to which Kabuto knows exactly whats going on, a white flash and noise seems to be disabling both their movements. However Kabuto seems to be able to move as he’s made of water and has covers to help him see. He tries to attack Sasuke but fails as Itachi seems to have protected. The White Extreme Attack stops and they regain control of themselves.

Kabuto asks if he’s still able to see his chakra, when he remembers that he can’t now. However Itachi reveals that it wasn’t him who was able to see through his tricks. He mentions that this person was Nagato. Itachi mentions that if he wants someone like Sasuke, he’s obviously going to be his main target. He even suggests that it’s his best chance to change Sasuke’s mind to manipulate him to attack Itachi.

Kabuto mentions that what the special thing about Itachi is his ability to have true visual prowess. He has the ability to see into people’s soul and even lie to them, Sasuke attacks him when he sticks on top. Itachi asks if Sasuke remembers his challenge with the wild boar. We go to when Sasuke was smaller, Itachi was going on a mission to which Sasuke wants to tag along, however he says that he cannot now.

Sasuke eventually catches up to him after knowing that the wild boar has destroyed a few buildings. Itachi watches it when Sasuke appears, he climbs a building. Itachi mentions to not kill it, don’t hit any vital spots. Itachi and Kabuto get ready in the past and now too. Sasuke gets his bow and Susanoo bow ready too. Itachi launches three paper bombs as well as three Susanoo discs.

The boar and Kabuto both protect themselves when the bombs explode. Sasuke misses the boar but hits Kabuto with his bow. It traps him as he falls down, he tries to get Sasuke’s sword when it hits Itachi. Itachi opens his eyes and uses his Sharingan to attack back, he takes the sword and cuts off a horn of his. Before this he had dispersed himself with his crows.

Young Sasuke missed the boar, it goes to get him as it breaks the building he stands on. Sasuke tries to attack back but Itachi appears and seems to have knock it out. He saves Sasuke, he then mentions that he’s missed, and that he needs more training. Once they get home he’ll train him. Itachi tells Sasuke that now he can take a wild boar on. Itachi smiles, Sasuke feels proud. Naruto Shippuden 334 ends here.

What an awesome chapter, it seems to be getting better and better as Sasuke and Itachi fight together as brothers. Can’t wait for next week’s Naruto Shippuden 335, titled “To Each Their Own Leaf”, when Sasuke learns about Itachi’s past and what he did. This should definitely be interesting.

 Itachi Uchiha, personally one of the greatest Uchiha’s. In his brothers, Sasuke, eyes he seems like one who abandoned the village as well as killing their own family. However after learning from Tobi, he opened his own eyes as well as had even more questions to Itachi’s decisions which after the latest Naruto episode, we’ll see a lot more about their relationship as brother fighting together to defeat Kabuto. I know it’s going to be an epic fight, which you’ll just have to wait and see. 

The awesome artwork above of Itachi Uchiha was drawn by Demiora who has a number of some really good Naruto art, sketches and some awesome stuff. If you like her work above, I’d totally suggest you go check her out. If you like the above image, I suggest sharing this page with your friends.

Naruto Shippuden 335 begins the lost lasting story of Kabuto, as we begin we find that he’s first memories are those when he gets to know his adopted mother Nono Yakushi, from the moment she gave her the name to when she was fully adopted. We also find out that Kabuto tries to become an even better Orochimaru, surpassing Snakes and becoming a Dragon. Itachi also mentions that he’s about to activate his technique Izanami to which he’ll use on Kabuto.

Naruto Shippuden 355 begins as Kabuto gets up and mentions that both brothers are being friendly with each other. After fighting and hating each other it seems that they’ve become normal again. Sasuke mentions that he’d like to know the truth. Kabuto mentions that after mentioning all this he’s gone through a lot to even joining the Akatsuki to his sake.

Itachi killed his family and saved his family, while Sasuke is trying to do the opposite. Kabuto mentions that he’s inherited Orochimaru’s task, and that he should stab Itachi in the back and go with him. Sasuke remembers the time when Tobi told him about Itachi’s true story on what he did.

He goes on to remember that a while back, they went for drinks when they overhead Itachi being taken off the Bingo Books, to which Sasuke gets pissed off at what they said, Tobi stops him from killing them because they don’t know the whole truth. It would be hard for anyone to learn the truth about Itachi since it’s the way in which Itachi made it looks that it would be unbelievable.

He mentions that his destruction of the Lead is his own will. Kabuto mentions that he was raised to be a spy however as he grew up, he forget who the real him was, he had no friends who knew his true self and the villages stopped trusting them, to which they just dishonoured. Kabuto mentions that he’ll be Sasuke’s brother and will never leave his side.

Itachi mentions that Kabuto is a better liar than him, Itachi tells Sasuke that it’s his fault that he’s like this, however he hopes he listen to him this time, as he’s got something to tell him. However they must defeat Kabuto. Kabuto mentions that his Edo Tensei cannot be beaten, and that their genjutsu will not work on them.

Sasuke asks what they should do. Itachi mentions what they should do, Itachi describes a jutsu in which a person would lose their sight after using it to which Sasuke remembers Danzo, they mentions Izanagi. However Itachi explains Izanami, its Izanagi’s other half to which it holds Kabuto’s fates within it’s grasps. He enables it! They attack each other and back off.

Itachi tells Sasuke not to leave his side. Kabuto mentions that he doesn’t know what he’s going up against but nothing will work against him, Kabuto changes the Earth around him with his Inorganic Animation. To which spikes hit Itachi, however he doesn’t die, he uses his Susanoo to protect Sasuke. Kabuto mentions that he won’t hurt Sasuke because he’s his plan.

Sasuke quickly enables his Amaterasu to stop Kabuto from coming in and replacing his tag. Itachi begins to return to normal. Kabuto mentions that he will not fail, and that all of Orochimaru’s research flow this his blood. Itachi mentions when he looks at Kabuto, he’s reminded of himself. They were both spies and lived in false worlds, he now understands that people must know what they can do and what they cannot do.

Itachi mentions that when someone needs help, they can ask friends for help. We go to the past in which a young Kabuto is getting help from a few children and a lady who heals him. He doesn’t know anything from that point on. They return back to their house in which he’s healed up and quickly given the name Kabuto, he quickly likes it and smiles! He’s told that he can call Nono his mother.

That night he’s not gone to sleep in which he hears a few people talking, we see Nono and two other people talking, to which they mention that they already have so many kids. They cannot take more people. To which they hear Kabuto, the woman shouts at him when Nono protects him. She mentions that he knew and doesn’t know the rules. They try to teach him when to go to bed to which Nono realises that he’s got bad eyesight. He answers the question and tries to take the glasses off when Nono places them back on, he cries that he’s so happy and thanks them. Kabuto mentions from the beginning he had nothing. Naruto Shippuden 335 ends here.

You may have noticed that I may have missed some bits, however I don’t have much time to write it all in detail, so sorry about this. However I can’t wait for next week’s Naruto Shippuden 336, titled “Kabuto Yakushi”, when we learn a lot more about Kabuto’s past in which Orochimaru and Danzo are involved.

Naruto Shippuden 337 locks Kabuto in an infinite loop by which Kabuto keeps on repeating the exact things over and over, it seems like Kabuto will never escape this never-ending loop of the Izanami. Both Itachi and Sasuke stay calm while Kabuto gets angrier at the fact that he’s unable to understand whats going on, he thinks it’s a genjutsu but fails to understand Itachi’s words, which are mostly his ways out if he admits. 

Naruto Shippuden 337 begins with Kabuto improving on himself with all the abilities everyone else has obtained. He remembers all the moments to which he needed more power and could not give up so easily. He mentions that by possessing a Uchiha such as Itachi will be great for him as he’ll have great techniques. Itachi tells him that even so, he’s not good for such a thing because the Uchiha name is just like a membership type thing.

We see when Kabuto didn’t have anything and was found by his new mother. He found a name and a place to be. Kabuto brings out one of other technique to which he activates it Jirobo’s abilities which lifts all the Amaterasu off that space. Kidomaru then launches a net to which they both burn. Kimimaro appears and lays many spikes as well as the spider web behind them.

Sasuke takes the back and Itachi the front to which they both use their Susanoo to cut. Then they use Tayuya’s sound to get both of them in a Genjutsu to which they’re both captured. Next up it’s Orochimaru’s turn to show up and kill both of them. However as he gets closer, we see an awesome new form to which Orochimaru had when Sasuke defeated Orochimaru.

From there, Obito was able to capture and get Orochimaru, to which he was finally able to find himself. He has Orochimaru inside him. Itachi tells him that it’s important not to remake themselves as someone else, he replies by mentioning that when people are starting out they always try to copy. Sasuke remembers a moment when he was watching Itachi train to which. His father tells him that he wants him to become just like Itachi.

Itachi tells Kabuto that this process is only for someone to then mature. Kabuto begins to approach him when Itachi and Sasuke look at each other and quickly disable the Genjutsu. They capture and get the attack from Kabuto in an attack, to which Kabuto seems to cry. Itachi mentions that he’s going to activate the Genjutsu to which out of nowhere appears Kabuto and cuts Itachi in half.

Itachi is in trouble to which Kabuto tries to get the paper back on Itachi but Sasuke saves him with his attack. It gets all steamy and Itachi appears again, from this point on, Itachi gets stabbed and crows appears, to which Kabuto’s horn is once again cut, however it seems like no other injury has been made except for the on before. Itachi mentions that he’s already got him in a jutsu.

Kabuto attacks to which he’s unsuccessful. He mentions that he’s just felt deja vu. He walks forward and tries to attack. Itachi mentions for him to think hard and listen to him careful. Kabuto once again fights but Itachi attacks back. Everytime he appears, he gets held back but finally gets a hit on Itachi, however he then gets cut on the same horn again. Now he notices that he’s been cut again. The fire from Sasuke nearly gets him but he escapes it. He gets a drop from the Itachi and backs off. He notices all the usual steps then stabs and gets his horn cut off again.

He keeps on getting pissed off and tries to get what it really is, he tries to release but it doesn’t work. He gets another cut on him and another horn is cut. He mentions that his genjutsu is not something he could just release. He tries to use sound genjutsu but that doesn’t work. Now we see Kabuto use his chakra to use the walls to attack him, he then tries to move back until he can regain more control, however Itachi is notices from above. Itachi mentions that he cannot escape his loop. Naruto Shippuden 337 ends here.

A pretty cool episode, however it was a little short, nevertheless it was good enough to talk about. Furthermore next week’s chapter it’s most likely that we’ll get to see some even more awesome stuff. That’s why I can’t wait for next week’s Naruto Shippuden 338, titled “Izanami and Izanagi”, to which the Izanagi and Izanami is explained to us with some background knowledge.

Naruto Shippuden 338 see’s the final end of the Edo Tensei technique, it shows when Itachi enables his Izanami and gets Kabuto in a loop, from this he lifts Kabuto’s eyes and enables him to show the true sign to stop the Edo Tensei. Sasuke learns about the horrible past of Izanami and Izanagi from which he learns that Izanami is to stop Uchiha Shinobi from taking the easy way. Sasuke hasn’t got most of his questions answered so what will he do as his brother disappears away? And Madara, will he go away or will be fight back.

Naruto Shippuden 338 begins as the Izanami gets activated by Itachi. Itachi had first cast it when the first time Itachi was stabbed. The way to enable it they both need to have that physical aspect as well. As you fight you take physical senses of both them and the opponent, as time progresses, there will be other aspects like the water drop and the feather.

From there on you keep on overlaying and looping it on and on. It has the ability to create an infinite number of loops. There is an escape route built in, it was mainly used to oppose Izanagi users. Uchiha users called it the perfect jutsu to give themselves a second chance. Itachi begins to tell the story of the Uchiha, Izanami and Izanagi.

There was a great battle by which a man had used Izanagi to bring back the others to which he used to kill the opponents. He mentions that he cannot lose. From which he was blinded and became abusive towards its powers. It’s okay when one uses it, however when others get involved, they begin to fight each other for that price. That man is killed, from which other get involved and get out of control as others also want to get involved.

Only a man is left, he faces a woman to which he mentions that he should stop however he only gets angry and we see a number of things set out, different signs that Izanami may be in affect. He doesn’t yet realise it. The woman gives him a choice and he refuses. She goes from his back and gets hurt however he uses Izanagi and tries to attack back, however it begins to repeat once more.

He now realises that somethings wrong. At each point he doesn’t understand what’s going on. Itachi keeps on explaining how it works. It gives another possibility, however Izanami gives them a loop. There is an escape, we learn this as it was a way to stop the Uchiha from being arrogant. The man keeps on going when the woman gives him a choice to stop. He realises that after all he’s done he must accept everything. He lays down and accepts the womans offer to which Izanami is stopped, an eye of the woman goes blind.

Izanami guides them to accepting their fate. Kabuto needs to realise that he must not take all the power he’s gathered from everyone else and accept that he has ultimately gathered all of his power from others. Itachi seems himself in Kabuto as he never had once asked for help from others and thus he had issues trusting.

Sasuke asks him why he’d ever want to help him after all he’s done. Itachi mentions that as a child he wanted to control him from the bad world however he wasn’t able to. This is why he says that he’s not perfect. Kabuto keeps on fighting and unable to do anything, he’s unable to realise after all he’s done he cannot much, he keeps on looping over and over again. They need to accept themselves as they are. We see a moment where Urushi is helping out by which he says that he’d like to see Kabuto again.

Itachi mentions that he’s going to disable the Edo Tensei to which all reanimation will be disabled. Itachi mentions that he’s protecting his village as Itachi Uchiha of Leaf Village. Sasuke mentions that he still needs him when Itachi mentions and remembers that Naruto will be there for him and he’s the one that will help him out. He opens Kabuto’s eyes and uses Tsukuyomi to reveal how to disable it, to which he hopes Naruto will defeat Tobi and others. Naruto Shippuden 338 ends here.

A really cool and awesome chapter, although next week’s chapter will most likely make a lot of people tear up from all the awesome bits based on Itachi and Kabuto. Be sure to keep on watching. Also lots of Madara stuff that are going to happen. Can’t wait for next week’s Naruto Shippuden 339, titled “I Will Love You Always”.

Sasuke Uchiha has grown up experience things a normal person his age may not experience. However after finding out that own brother wanted to protect him, after all the things he’s heard, it seems that Sasuke doesn’t want to let go of his past according to this image. It seems like he wants to keep it forever, just like the times when Itachi and him used to be at their most joyous.

The awesome artwork was done by SebaUchihaOtaku, he describes the above image to be Itachi and Sasuke, which I can see a little of whats going on, however Sasuke older and younger seem more of an idea. Nevertheless, it’s a great piece of fan art which I really like. Hope you do to, check them out, also share this page!

Naruto Shippuden 339 shows Madara’s crazy Perfect Susanoo to which it’s massively huge and has only been defeated by Hashirama. Itachi releases the Edo Tensei from everyone and everyone begins to glow and disappear. As Madara goes to use his Perfect Susanoo to kill the 5 Kage’s we realise that Itachi has released the Edo Tensei and his powers begin to fade, could these also be Madara’s last moments? And we also learn the real story behind Itachi and the fact that he will always love his younger brother Sasuke.

Naruto Shippuden 339 as the Madara clones begin to get a hit on the Kage’s to which they need to quickly begin to get a control of the situation. They have no power to defeat them. Even Tsunade is unable to do much. The Raikage is captured in a Sharingan to which Onoki saves him. It’s realised that Onoki is their greatest strength, even Madara realises this.

He tells all Kage’s that they promised Naruto that they’ll win, and this will be done even if they don’t win. They begin to get ready and so do the clones. We see Tsunade behind Onoki healing and giving him power. He begins by bringing out his Particle style to which it creates a large cube getting Madara’s leg.

It’s then split into two and captures Madara. From this we see Madara getting sucked in more and more to which Gaara’s sand covers him with seals. Then Onoki mentions that this is the real power of the Kage’s to which Madara see’s a chance to reveal his true strength to which he does. He brings out a large Susanoo like thing to which he then enhances it to put armor and such on there.

This form is awesome! It looks awesome and it seem that they have all lost hope after seeing his true form. The chakra on that thing is truly impressive. He brings out his sword to which he uses it and literally cuts the tops of two mountains as well as pushing the Kage’s back. They see the destruction of this sword and realise that they have no chance. He begins to walk towards them when Onoki mentions that they may be scared but they’re ready for anything he’s got.

His Susanoo can compared with the Ten Tails. Itachi hears the commands in order to stop the Edo Tensei, he tells Kabuto to begins disabling it when Sasuke begins to speak about how his memories come back whenever he’s with him. He will follow his heart even if it has to lead to destroying the village. He also mentions that because they’re brothers he won’t stop him.

The Edo Tensei is released and every Edo Tensei user begins to glow, a sign that they’re going. As Madara goes for the attack on the Kage’s we see Madara’s power go and the attack on them quickly begin to disappear, he realises that the Edo Tensei caster has been disturbed. Itachi walks towards Sasuke he mentions that he has time to tell him the truth about everything.

He shows him everything, and that what Danzo and Tobi said was correct. We see Itachi and Shisui, both best friends to which Danzo wants Shisui’s eyes, thus he gives it to Itachi for safe keeping. He wants him to protect the village. We hear from the heads of Konoha to which Danzo wants to destroy the village and Hiruzen wants to give it more time and do something about it.

Itachi and Danzo meet up after this, he mentions he could either join the Uchiha and die with everyone else or kill his own village to save his little brother. From this point on we see Itachi talk to Tobi to which he wants to propose something to him, he wants him to take care of Sasuke once he’s grown up for exchange that he’ll kill his village.

We see Itachi behind both his mother and father. They seem to understand whats going on, his father mentions for him to take care of Sasuke. To which he begins to shake, his father tells him that what he’s done, he’s always going to be proud, he is truly a kind child. To which we continue from the story where Sasuke walks in and we see it all. Itachi begins to talk towards him mentioning that he’s sorry, he gets even closer and mentions whatever happens he’s always going to love him! Naruto Shippuden 339 ends here!

What a crazy episode, with both ups and downs, it’s truly been a crazy episode full of emotion and awesomeness! I can’t wait to see next week’s episode which will see what has happened to Madara in terms of the Edo Tensei being released. I also can’t wait to see what the Kage’s will do in next week’s Naruto Shippuden 340, titled “Reanimation Jutsu: Released”.

Naruto Shippuden will be will be giving Kakashi Hatake some much-needed screen time beginning in February 2014! This arc will concentrate on Kakashi’s past and what he had to go through in the ANBU organisation, the arc’s name: “Kakashi: Shadow of the ANBU Black Ops”. Much of it is yet unknown to us, however seeing the promotional art above, we know Hiruzen, Minato Yamato and it seems Itachi (If I’m looking at it correctly) will also be involved. 

I personally can’t wait to see more of the promotional stuff coming out based on this arc, plus it seems that the anime is getting pretty close to the manga, thus this important arc will be required to space manga and anime. Nevertheless, Kakashi’s past has never been discussed in detail, thus such an arc will be a useful one. What do you think, tell me using the comment section below.
