Kakashi and Obito fight. We also see a great battle between the Kages and Madara but the latter clearly has the upper hand. Obito fights with Kakashi and when on the verge of defeat after knowing that Kabuto has become invalid he activates the formation of an impure ten tails.
More fighting occurs. Madara regains control of the situation has an awesome fight with Might Guy. Then Sasuke and Naruto independently meet the Sage of Six paths and are granted new powers. They seem to overpower Madara. He is then outwitted by Black Zetsu and Kaguya comes. She brought the magic on Earth which one of her sons popularised as ninjutsu.
We see a fight between her and Team 7. Then We move to more fighting as we see Sasuke fight Naruto in a really nostalgic battle that ends in a draw and both becoming friends and Sasuke finally becoming sane.
The trouble with this series was the War. I know many of you liked it and yeah it was great because we again got to see different ninjas shining on the battlefield but I felt it was kind of forced in to try and keep things interesting until the conclusive battle between the main characters, Naruto and Sasuke, of the series. After killing Itachi Sasuke has lost his purpose.
Up until that moment he spent his entire life to kill Itachi and now he is dead. At certain points, I felt that the war dragged and later became a place for a power boost and different transformations. I know the series is about Naruto but the other characters are the reason why the series became so popular. In the latter part of the series, everything seems to be about Naruto and linking him with Sasuke.
Everything was built up for their battle but somewhere along the line, I felt that the characters could have been used in a better way. They are not there just to protect Naruto and make everything about him rather they are there to hold their own. The war was entertaining to watch but fighting and fighting got me a bit off. He wanted to become a strong Ninja to protect people close to him which he kept on doing.
He wanted to bring back Sasuke back and did. He wanted to become Hokage and he might. At first, he is shown to be really intelligent and talented but he acts like a dimwit.
He first wants to kill his brother even after being dissuaded by his friends and mentors. After killing Itachi he believes whatever Tobi says. Then after understanding the fall of his clan, he teams up with Naruto to defeat Madara and later Kaguya. Then again he shifts his goal to becoming Hokage and forcing his view on the world. Then I thought about it. It is actually pretty logical.
I guess his character shows what will happen if one lets their soul consumed by anger and hatred. Even after fulfilling his purpose he needed another purpose so badly he was even going to trust a stranger like Tobi.
Then he needed to destroy Konoha and then to destroy Kaguya and then to become Hokage. Obito's inclusion as a villain was already reviled by many, and Madara seemed to be the perfect solution to the problems that Obito's character had brought up. However, Kishimoto looked at this good thing During the course of the show, Naruto and Sasuke also receive a slew of — once again, completely random — powerups that serve as nothing more than a narrative excuse for these two fighters to partake in some truly epic moments.
The idea of Naruto and Sasuke being the reincarnations of Indra and Ashura might've been somewhat compelling if executed properly. However, this isn't even remotely the case This idea of fighting against one's destiny is completely thrown out of the window with Naruto and Sasuke being the reincarnations of Indra and Ashura, and basically says that one's path to greatness is dictated by a higher power instead of their own hard work.
Speaking of Neji, it must be said that his character was probably handled the worst during this entire arc. While his sacrifice to save Hinata and Naruto might seem noble at first glance, a closer look will reveal just how useless this sacrifice really was. This leads him to want to learn from them and add them to his collection. He helps Sasuke tap into his inner power while also trying to warp his mind so he can use him and eventually murder him.
Sasuke gets the drop on Lord Orochimaru though, killing him. His training then takes him to more unsavory teachers. Sasuke is a lot smarter than he lets on, though, using each opportunity as a stepping stone for him to find his own understanding of the world and the events that helped mold him.
The five Kages are the leaders of the main shinobi villages. This is something that is learned well before Naruto Shippuden begins.
However, they play a much larger role in Shippuden than they did before. While it was known that they are leaders of their respective nations, they must now work together thanks to transpiring events. The Tailed Beasts that the Akatsuki have been stealing belong to the villages. They are checks against other nations, so losing one puts your entire home at risk. When they start getting taken, everyone becomes tense. That unease is exactly what the Akatsuki wanted. In the past, feuds were birthed and that pit ninja against one another.
They would fight for control of Jinchuriki and Kekkei Genkai family specific abilities. For the first time, they were united instead, facing a threat much bigger than they could pose to each other. On one side stood the five shinobi nations along with the Land of Iron. On the other stood the Akatsuki along with their mysterious leader, Tobi.
Tobi, who seemed silly at first, proved to be a much larger threat than anticipated. His power was unparalleled, and he had managed to capture at least part of eight of the Tailed Beasts. That meant the Gedo Statue was almost ready to achieve whatever its true purpose was. While Naruto and the rest of the Shinobi are busy building an army, Sasuke is doing his own thing on the side.
After ridding himself of Orochimaru, he grabs a few of his experiments to form the group Hebi. Suigetsu, Karin, and Jugo join Sasuke to help him find Itachi so that he can finally exact his revenge.
After finding Itachi and discovering the truth of his actions, the group gains a new focus and a new name, Taka. They are now determined to take down the Hidden Leaf for its involvement in the wiping out of the Uchiha clan. To achieve his goals, Sasuke joins the Akatsuki and even attacks his former village on several occasions. His time with the Akatsuki also reveals the true mastermind behind the organization, Madara Uchiha.
One of the old leaders of his clan, thought to be dead for decades, is the one pulling the strings from the shadows. He is connected to the Gedo Statue, using its chakra to sustain his life. It would turn out that his pushing Sasuke would force the young shinobi to seek yet another path on his quest for the truth and vengeance. Late into Shippuden, the story of two young ninjas is shared, and with that, all begins to come clear.
Before there existed any of the five nations, there was always war. The two most powerful clans were the Uchiha and Senju. Those boys were Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju. Their bond transcended enmity and that allowed for the first great ninja village, Konohagakure the Hidden Leaf.
Hashirama was perfect for leadership, having shown loyalty and kindness to everyone, and he was chosen to lead as the Hokage. Madara, being his friend, also agreed that he should lead. Over time, though, a rift grew. Madara wanted more power and felt that he and his clan were being snubbed. Madara faced off against Hashirama and was defeated. Believed to be dead, time continued on with him plotting his revenge from the shadows.
Thanks to an ancient Uchiha tablet, he knew what he had to do. The previous chapter left us with the big bombshell that the epic final battle between Sasuke and Naruto had left them both missing a forearm. The finale picks right back up at that shocking moment and shows what happens next. Basically Sasuke comes back to the light side. Naruto's selflessness and never-ending loyalty shows Sasuke that there are other ways to change the world that don't involve destroying large portions of it.
It's all kind of rushed and hard to swallow after everything that happened, but if you've followed the series up to this point you should be used to that kind of thing. As drastic as Sasuke's sudden change of heart may seem, it is still a big emotional moment. Sasuke goes into a monologue that is interspersed with artfully placed panels of the world recovering from the results of his actions, and a poignant shot of his friends grieving at Neji's grave.
If you can get past all the cliche, it's actually a pretty satisfying way for Sasuke to come to terms with what he's done and how wrong he's been. However, what's not so satisfying is Sasuke's complete and utter pardon by Kakashi. It's all explained away in a couple of brief panels ending with Sasuke saying, "Yeah But, again, this is Naruto.
Series creator Masashi Kishimoto has never been great at working out the finer plot details. But Kishimoto is a master when it comes to relaying major concepts with simple but powerful visuals, and that's where we get the most memorable parts of this chapter. The image of the hands of the broken statues forming the seal of reconciliation with the outlines of Naruto and Sasuke overlaid is brilliant.
And the final panel of chapter , with Naruto handing over Sasuke's scratched Konoha forehead protector that he'd kept for all this time, is beautiful.
Even the most jaded of us had to have a little bit of the feels on that page.
