Suddenly Konohamaru is approached by several children, each claiming to have seen terrifying rogue ninja roaming the east and west forests outside Konoha.

Tsunade returns to the village and informs Naruto that he's going on an S-rank misson to an island located in the Land of Lightning. A says that the place where he is sending B and Naruto isn't just a hideout but a training ground. Tsunade meets with A alone and asks him for a favour to let B teach Naruto how to control Nine-Tails. Tsunade objects since they would both be invaluable in the war with Akatsuki, but is forced to agree. As the first matter of business, Naruto and Killer B are to be given constant protection. Three days later the Kage meet again to discuss how they should start pooling their resources. Two Konoha shinobi ask for his autograph, but he doesn't know how to respond.

Fleeing and returning moments later, Tobi explains that Itachi must have passed down the Amaterasu to Sasuke and have it rigged to go off if he made eye contact with his Sharingan. However, Sasuke's left Sharingan immediately activates and transforms into Itachi's Mangekyō Sharingan, igniting Tobi with Amaterasu. As they stand on the ruins of the hideout, they realise that Sasuke is gone, while Naruto cries about how he is never able to catch up to Sasuke.Īt their hideout, Tobi reveals to Sasuke that he is a survivor of the Uchiha Clan Downfall and partially removes his mask in order to show Sasuke his Sharingan.

He and Zetsu then head to the Uchiha Hideout in order to retrieve Sasuke and Itachi's bodies however, before he leaves, he stares at Kakashi, and Kakashi notices in shock that Tobi possesses the Sharingan as well.Īt the hideout ruins, Tobi asks Zetsu if he had recorded the event, as he wishes to analyse it later. Tobi immediately drops his high-pitched voice and goofy demeanour and reverts to a cold, harsh tone, telling the group that he will see them later. Kakashi is forced to uncover his Sharingan, but does not go head to head with Tobi as Zetsu arrives, announcing to everyone that Sasuke has managed to kill Itachi Uchiha, shocking the group.
