* Word is, Hashirama Senju, Konoha's First Hokage, may be reanimated by Kabuto and brought forth to fight the war against our Allied Shinobi Forces. We're gaining grounds and very few Kabuto's strategies worked, but this is Hashirama Senju, the most powerful of all Hokages. The title of this Naruto episode is "A will of Stone".

Ohnoki calls for the Stone Golem but Madara simply countered it with his 'Wood Style: Deep Forestation Bloom'. The branches of fast growing tree pierced Golem's arms and disabled it. The Forestation Bloom caused these otherwise beautiful flowers bloom and extract poisonous pollen fumes that got Tsunade and others run for cover. Gaara created sand clouds for all to float above the poisoned sky. Everyone was at awe and invariably distracted. Right then, Madara in his Susano'o form attacked from behind. Five Kage fell to the ground. Half-satisfied, Madara fired up his Majestic Demolisher, a Fire Style Inferno.
All fell unconscious in the fumes of the poisonous fire. Ohnoki in his last seconds remembered his master the Second Tsuchinage telling him long ago about a small rock which symbolizes the Will of Rock inside Hidden Stone village's inhabitants. The Will of Rock is the power to change the world.Ohnoki snaps out of his delirium to grab a stone lying nearby. He shattered it to pieces and signed Atomic Dismantling Jutsu. The counterattack ripped Madara's clothes in the left side of his chest revealing face of Konoha's First Hokage, Hashirama Senju, the most powerful Shinobi today. Kabuto managed the most significant and genius move by fusing Madara and Hashirama in one very powerful Shinobi.
Sasuke finally spots his older brother Itachi passing by him in the forest. Itachi pretend to not see or hear him and continues uninterrupted. Sasuke extends his Susano'o purple hand to snatch Itachi, when Itachi's maroon Susano'o deflected the attack with no difficulties. Sasuke has a lot of questions for his brother, but Itachi pretends to be under Kabuto's control and continues on his journey.
Itachi told Sasuke long ago, that people live under false pretenses and how one's reality might be an illusion. Sasuke is determined to kill off the entire Hidden Leaf village to avenge death of his older brother and to restore the Uchiha name. Itachi explains that he killed his family keeping Sasuke alive, because he was just a child and Itachi wanted to be judged by Uchiha and no one else. That is why he filled Sasuke with hatred and made him rogue ninja.Sasuke desperately wants to know more about the path he was to lead. Itachi may be willing to talk to his brother under different circumstances, but now he simply must go. He must stop the reanimation!
You may remember Itachi's reanimation and how he slipped from Kabuto's control when he evoked the long implanted crow with Shisui Uchiha's left eye from Naruto's body. Itachi is dead, reincarnated, but free. He isn't controlled by Kabuto and this will help him fight the wretched man.
Madara, fused with Hashirama powers, is facing the Five Kage. Determined to take out Tsunade first he explains the Hokage is a descendant of Hashirama Senju. With a demeaning tone of voice he said, 'what do you have to offer?' and 'Medical Ninjutsu is nothing, you're weak and weakness disgusts me.''I am a descendant of First Hokage Hashirama. I don't use Wooden Jutsu, but I am not weak,' Tsunade offered 'but I have Hashirama's blood and strength inside me and that is my true power, the Will of Fire!'
In the next Naruto episode, the fight of Four Kage and Tsunade will struggle against Madara Uchiha empowered by extra ocular prowess and Hashirama's skills. Itachi with Sasuke will find Kabuto, but will killing Kabuto stop the Reanimation Jutsu? Every Jutsu has its strengths and weaknesses. The title of Naruto Shippuden 333 is "The Risks of the Reanimation Jutsu".
