* Turning to Sasuke, Itachi said, “I am not the one who can change you, Sasuke, but I can stop this Reanimation Jutsu. That will fulfil my promise to Naruto.” Sasuke has too much hatred for Hidden Leaf to be stopped now. Seeing his brother fade away into the darkness and despite Itachi’s change of hearts, Sasuke swears to continue the quest of avenging him and his family. “I will Love You Always” is the title of next Naruto episode. See us in Naruto forum to discuss Sasuke's hatred. Let’s watch Naruto Shippuden 339 right here on Tailedfox!
In Naruto episode 333 we witnessed Madara creating dozens of his clones with same powerful Susano'o abilities and help of Rinnegan and Sharingan to combat with Five Kage. Skilful or not, all five Shinobi may be a bit over their heads, outnumbered and outmanoeuvred at every step.
Each attack it seems is countered with Gaara’s protective sand, but there is no gain on our side and no loss in strength and power of dozens of blue Susano’o monsters.
Lady Tsunade attacks from the back and takes one of the Susano’o out. Exhausted she collapses and Raikage yells out “Hokage” when another arm wraps around his shoulders. Susano’o lifts him and Madara uses his Sharingan eyes to perform Genjutsu. Madara was disappointed however, when he spotted Tsuchikage releasing Raikage from this Genjutsu just a second or two later.
Ohnoki keeps strong and lifting up the spirits of his fellow Kage he says “We must be worthy of the title Kage!”. Madara realises that his true problem is Ohnoki and he resolved to break his spirit first.
Getting a bit of refurbishment from Hokage Tsunade, Ohnoki signs Boundary Dismantling Jutsu and this caught Madara by surprise. Madara was in Susano’o state which kept him from absorbing the Particle Style Jutsu. Following immediately afterwards was Kazekage’s sand with sealing bombs.
Mizukage was ready with her Lightning Water Dragon to paralyse Madara if he were to choose to fight the sand. Tsuchikage Ohnoki was ready to slice his opponent with Particle Style Jutsu. Ohnoki called this the full power of the Five Kage.
Madara, honoured to be finally battling someone with strength worthy of Kage title, determined to respond with his full power. All present witnessed A Perfect Susano’o, also known as True Susano’o.
“Hashirama was the only one who could stop me, but he is no longer here”, proclaimed Madara Uchiha as he split a nearby mountain in half to demonstrate his enormous power. Susano’o, the destruction incarnate, a Tailed Beast caliber.
Scene changes to Kabuto’s hideout. While Itachi keeps working on Kabuto, Sasuke reminisced about his past with his older brother. “The closer I get to you, the more I hate Hidden Leaf for all the pain they have caused to you” declared Sasuke to Itachi as he resolved to never let anyone get in his way of revenge seeking.
Release of Reanimation Jutsu seems to be successful as all reanimated shinobi stop at whatever they happened to be doing. Mizukage started feeling desperate in fighting against all powerful True Susano’o, when Madara lost control over his skills and, like all other reanimated, noticed a faint glow around his undead body.
Itachi too started losing consciousness when he looked in Sasuke’s eyes with his Sharingan and in the process exposed all of his memories. In these memories Sasuke saw Shisui giving away his only remaining Sharingan eye to Itachi to protect Konoha and Uchiha name.
Danzo and other Konoha elders wanted to avoid Uchiha’s coup d’etat and judge the clan. Danzo suggested taking stiff measures to avoid mayhem including killing innocent civilians. Danzo would attack preemptively before Uchiha Clan has a chance to respond. Hiruzen, the Third Hokage, disagrees and asks Itachi to buy him some time to device a plan to avoid Danzo’s massacre. Later that evening Danzo convinces Itachi to take out the entire Uchiha Clan with exception of his little brother Sasuke. Itachi was given a choice of either joining the Uchiha’s efforts to overthrow the Konoha leadership, or to side with Konoha and save his little brother Sasuke. Itachi was then Black Ops and this was an order.
He did promise to his father and mother that he would take care of Sasuke before he killed them both. Sasuke did walk in when both parents were already dead, but he knew who killed them as Itachi was still standing over them with his bokken bloody. Now, when Sasuke learned of his parent’s death, Itachi admits to making a mistake of never trying to resolve it peacefully and never explaining it to Sasuke.
With his last moments Itachi approached Sasuke, hugged him and told him that he will always love him.
Reanimation Jutsu has been countered by Itachi and Kabuto no longer presents a real danger, but what of it? There is still Tobi and he isn’t showing a weakness or any intention to quit the war. The fighting continues. “Reanimation Jutsu: Release” is the title of next Naruto episode up this Thursday, November 28th. Watch Naruto Shippuden 340 with us right here on Tailedfox.
