The Raikage has no patience for the newly transformed Jugo and charges in at such a speed that Jugo barely has time to put up a defence. Shi is watching from a distance and is caught by surprise when Suigetsu sneaks up from behind. However, Durai catches up with Suigetsu and block his sword with his own.
Meanwhile, the Raikage has punched through Jugo’s arm and made a large hole into his chest. Sasuke is concentrating with his Sharingan, but the Raikage tells him his dojutsu is no match for someone like him. Just then, Jugo launches a surprise attack by forming several cannons from his body and fires chakra blasts at the Raikage at point blank. Distracted by the explosion, Shi lets his guard down and succumbs to Sasuke’s genjutsu attack. Shi realizes that Sasuke was targeting him all along, but it is too late and he collapses. Jugo believes he has killed his opponent and starts taunting, but is immediately body slammed by an unscathed Raikage. Undeterred, Sasuke attacks the Raikage by himself with his Chidori.
At the inn, Madara has finished telling the story of Sasuke and explaining the truth behind Itachi Uchiha. Naruto, Kakashi and Yamato are naturally sceptical, especially on why Sasuke wants revenge on Konoha when it is against his brother’s dying wishes. Madara’s explanation is simple, Sasuke is a true avenger, he chose this path, he lives for vengeance.
Naruto cannot come to terms with Madara’s portrayal of Sasuke. Madara explains that it is the curse of the Uchiha bloodline. He tells the tale of two brothers who inherited the powers from the Sage of the Six Paths (Rikudo Sage), the founder of ninjutsu. They were tasked with continuing the Sage’s goal of bringing peace to the world. The older brother believed that strength was the answer while the younger believed that love was the answer. When the Sage chose the younger brother to
be his successor, the older brother became angry and fought the younger brother. They grew apart and each would found his own clan. The older brother was the founder of the Uchiha clan while the younger brother founded the Sanju clan. Throughout the generations, even though the original bloodline was diluted, the hostility between the two clans remained, even to this day. Madara states that the battle between himself and Senju Hashirama, the First Hokage, was fated. And so is the conflict between Naruto and Sasuke.
