In the last episode of Naruto Shippuden 216 Sakura unwillingly poisoned Naruto by nicking him with poisoned kunai knife destined to cut Sasuke's throat. Naruto is now blue and purple and all he wants to do it go home. Kakashi however orders to go to the land of Iron. Yamato shows up and with his wooden jutsu boxes Naruto in. If you remember, Naruto sneaked out of Yamato's supervision and in the process of clone disappearing drilled a hole in the floor. Needless to say, Yamato wasn't too happy. Kakashi explained to Yamato though, that Naruto saved Sakura's life and that calmed things down. Accompanying all is Karin who is carried by Kakashi to take her to Hidden Leaf for questioning. She is devastated for Sasuke abandoned her.
In the Hidden Leaf Village, Lady Koharu, Lord Homura and Shikaku are discussing disappearance of Danzo, and unusual disturbance in the foundation. Anbu Black Opps and everyone else is trying to find out just what happened in the Land of Iron. They need to find Sai as he had been appointed to cary Danzo's curse.
Killer Bee with Lord Raikage return home. They are accompanied by their loyal friends and Samehada sword taken by Killer Bee from Kisame in the last encounter. Killer Bee thinks Samehada took liking to him, not realizing that Kisame is not really dead. Deep in the waters White Zetsu took shape of Samehada of Kisame and effectively replaced him. Killer Bee is convinced that this new sword is just another great spoil of war.
No one suspects that Akatsuki may have plans with this sword yet. The great war was triggered as planned at the Five Kage Summit. Samehada was planted by Akatsuki to Eight Tails to share chakra with him and to gather intel. Madara knew that once war was declared Killer Bee and his Eight Tails will be confined and protected. Planting Samehada sword with Killer Bee was genius.
Naruto is tired and all he wants to do is sleep. Kakashi, Sakura, Karin and Naruto arrive at the place where Sakura put her comrades to sleep so she could continue her plans to kill Sasuke. She now has to wake them up and apologize.
Allied Shinobi Force were created to combat the Akatsuki's evil plans to take over the world. Lord Raikage, along with his brother Killer Bee and Feudal Lords assemble a meeting to discuss the war. The Five Great Nations - Hidden Leaf, Hidden Cloud, Hidden Stone, Hidden Mist, and the Hidden Sand, appointed Allied Shinobi Force and with it, Samurai of Land of Iron, Eight Tail and Nine Tail will combat Akatsuki. Feudal Lord learned about Akatsuki and their capture of seven Tailed Beasts and their declaration of war. The Fourth Great Ninja War! There will be a Feudal Lord Summit.
Preparations for The Fourth Great Ninja War begin. There are doubts that Hidden Leaf will be quick to respond as they have Hokage issues. Hidden Sand has Gaara and he is just too young to know anything about war. Gaara will sit his assemble of Hidden Sand to contemplate the strength of Akatsuki. He will attempt to unite shinobi's power. It's time to be strong and united, otherwise the world will end. The title of next episode of Naruto Shippuden 218 is "The Five Great Nations Mobilize".
