Anime Look Back: Naruto Shippuden S20 Episode 414-425 Summary Part 2

Episode 415: Now that Madara is nearby, Black Zetsu declares that nobody can stop it from handing over the Rinnegan and Yin-Kurama, detaching itself from Obito's body. As Kakashi and Gaara prepare to attack in order to give Naruto the meanings to survive the extraction, Black Zetsu finds itself unable to leave Obito's body, due to him not allowing it to. Obito questions Madara about who he himself is to the older Uchiha. Madara explains to how Obito as a follower of Madara's ideals is Madara, he who wishes to cancel the world created by the Sage of the Six Paths and to create a new one through the Eye of the Moon Plan. Seemingly giving in to Madara's words, Obito starts walking towards him with Minato trying to attack Madara as Kakashi and Gaara try to stop Obito, only to effortlessly be stopped. However, Obito doesn't take Madara's hand and pierces him in the gut. Recalling Naruto's words, Obito claims that his current self is the same as the one who wanted to become Hokage. He then extract fragments of Shukaku's and Gyuki's chakra and tells Kakashi to teleport Naruto and Sakura to the other dimension. After Madara stops Obito from going there himself, Kakashi runs to Obito's side, with his old comrade commenting on how Kakashi always looks down upon him, remembering the old times in Konoha.


Episode 416: Obito overhears a couple shinobi complaining about completing missions with Kakashi and asks them about it. They tell him Kakashi is ignoring his teammates to complete missions no matter what, which conflicts with what Obito remembers Kakashi saying. They advise him to beware of being assigned missions with Kakashi. Leaving the Academy, Obito asks Rin about Kakashi, and shares his concerns with her. Obito comes across Kakashi and tries to strike up a conversation with him, only for Kakashi to dryly tell him not to worry about him and leave. Obito trains in the rain to catch up to Kakashi, but Rin distracts him for a moment and falls down, and she encourages to keep training. Hiruzen asks Minato to teach Kakashi some humanity. Rin berates Obito for being late to his own graduation ceremony and takes him inside to re-enact the graduation. She gives him his certificate and tells him they were assigned to the same team. Team Minato gathers for the first time, and Minato applies the bell test. The team passes and Minato informs them they'll start with simple, odd-job missions. Obito finds lost objects and pets by asking around the elderly people he often aids and Minato appreciates Obito's kindness towards others. Team Minato completes all available D-rank missions, so they're assigned a C-rank mission, escorting a group of foreign shinobi carrying a message. During the mission, Minato notices they're being surrounded by enemies, and orders Rin and Kakashi to go on ahead, while he and Obito fall back to take care of the enemies. Obito and Minato engage in battle, with Obito being saved from an attack by Minato. Another group of pursuers catch up to Rin and Kakashi's group. Kakashi tells him Rin to go on ahead while he stalls the enemies, but one of their escorts is hit and falls off the bridge into a river. Reaching near their destination, one of the escorts thanks Rin and Kakashi, but the other two reveal themselves as traitors and attack him. Knowing that Minato will reach them too late, the traitors prepare to attack Rin and Kakashi.


Episode 417: After being attacked by the traitors, Minato and Obito arrive to back up Rin and Kakashi, but the two traitors escape to regroup. The last escortee asks Minato to ensure that the scroll is real, as two of them were given scrolls. It is discovered that the scroll was a fake and the other escortee that fell had the other scroll. Obito immediately leaves to save the escortee and the others reluctantly follow. The escortee is found by the traitors and attacked, however Obito and Kakashi arrive in time to save him. In the midst of the struggle, one of the pursuers grabs the scroll and they retreat. Kakashi leaves, claiming that completing the mission is his ninja way. He goes after the group and attacks them. Obito sends a signal to Minato and tells him of Kakashi's actions. Minato arrives just in time to save Kakashi and defeats the entire group. Team Minato return the scroll and complete the mission, however it is discovered that they were decoys and that both scrolls were fakes. Another group was charged with delivering the scroll to ensure it wouldn't be stolen by the traitors. In the present, Madara launches two orbs at Obito and Kakashi to get the Rinnegan and Yin-Kurama. Obito with Kakashi's help transports himself to the other dimension. After convincing Sakura of his changed nature, Obito begins transferring the tailed beasts chakra to Naruto. In the real world, Guy arrives in the knick of time, saving Kakashi from Madara's attack.


Episode 418: As Orochimaru and his team reach Sasuke, they realize that the unknown chakra signature is that of Kabuto. Since Kabuto assimilates other people into himself, his chakra signature is unknown, explaining why Karin could not identify the person near to Sasuke. Kabuto explains that he has decided to save Sasuke after coming to realise who he was, thanks to the Izanami. Elsewhere, Guy releases the Seventh Gate, which fails to damage Madara. Knowing that it failed, Guy realises he must use the Eighth Gate, which he knows will kill him. He remembers his time with his father, where he failed to graduate and decided to run 500 laps in order to enter the Academy as an alternate student. However, Guy is unable to finish running 500 laps and ends up passing out while the Third Hokage watches him from the window of the Academy. As Guy apologizes to his father only to be scolded for not having faith, Guy becomes frustrated with his father being mocked and attacks two older ninja, only to end up being brutalized. He's saved from further harm by Kakashi taking out the older ninja. After being saved by Kakashi, Guy watches him leaving with his father.


Episode 419: A young Guy questions his father Duy on being optimistic despite criticisms from other people in the village. Duy reiterated that becoming strong is not about winning or defeating enemies, but protecting something precious. Guy continues his training and frequently sees Kakashi, which inspires him to challenge. However, Duy disagrees Guy's proposition on challenging Kakashi and suggests to impose a self-rule. Guy follows and exerts his training just not to challenge Kakashi. After hardwork and perseverance, Guy finally graduates from the Academy and start accepting missions. Guy also notices his father taking lousy, low rank missions. Before departing on a mission, Guy overhears a conversation between his father and a Jonin which seems to be dissatisfied with Duy's performance. He also realizes that his father's seemingly underperformance is due to his training on the Eight Gates every night, which Duy passes and trains Guy on using it. During a mission, Guy's team encounters the Seven Ninja Swordsmen of Mist and feels nervous from the swordsmen. Realising the danger it poses, Duy appears and protects his son while using the Eight Gates. In the present time, Guy finally activates the eighth gate and is cloaked in red vapor. He advances to Madara to attack him with the Evening Elephant.


Episode 420: Guy battles with Madara with the Evening Elephant, however the pain from using the Inner Eight Gates Formation causes him to prematurely end it. In the sky, Guy uses the Evening Elephant again and kicks Madara in the air in order to match his flight. Minato tells the others they have to help Guy, and gives Lee one of his kunai. As Guy begins his second use of the Evening Elephant, Madara shields his attack with his Truth-Seeking Ball, countering with one of his own. Lee throws the kunai between Guy and the attack, so that Minato can use the Flying Rajin Jutsu to send the orbs away. Gaara lifts Kakashi close to Madara so that he can use Kamui to create an opening in Madara's defense. Guy lands the final "step" of the Evening Elephant directly into Madara, pushing him through the back of his shield. Despite the devastating attack, Madara stands once again, stating his excitement has not reached this level since fighting Hashirama. After waking up in the dimension, Naruto finds and questions a floating man named Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki, the Sage of Six Paths who tells Naruto about the cycle of reincarnation of the Sage's sons, Indra and Ashura. Haguromo also tells Naruto about the lack of ability, especially in comparison to that of the elder brother. As Naruto recognizes the traits in himself, Hagoromo reveals to him that he is the reincarnation of his son, Ashura.


Episode 421: Learning that Naruto and Sasuke are the reincarnation of Ashura and Indra, Hagoromo explains that Hashirama and Madara are the previous ones, and that by taking Hashirama's power, Madara recreated Hagoromo's chakra, awakening the Rinnegan, despite leaving Indra's descendants instructions against it. Hagoromo explains that his mother Kaguya used her powerful dōjutsu to rule over humanity and Madara attempts to acquire the same power. As Haguromo requests Naruto to stop Madara, the chakra of all tailed beasts converge and Hagoromo hears to notes his prophecy. Entrusting only Asura had created so much conflict, Hagoromo also asks Sasuke to cooperate, and entrusts both of them with his powers. Having survived and being impressed by Guy's Evening Elephant, Madara asks Guy to keep on fighting, deeming him the strongest taijutsu user he faced. Guy prepares to use his final technique while Naruto and Sasuke recovers. As Guy prepares the Night Guy, Kakashi recalls his past about his father's accurate prediction of Guy's potential. Guy obliterates half of Madara's body with his final attack, however he fails to kill him. Madara regenerates his body and attempts to destroy Guy's disintegrating body with a Truth-Seeking Ball, but Naruto kicks it away and recovers Guy to save him. Naruto tells Madara that he changed like Obito and declares that he will change the world with his new powers.


Episode 422: Konohamaru cleans Naruto's apartment and sees him returning home after training. Keeping his normal clothes on, Naruto teaches Konohamaru how to use the Rasengan. While Naruto leaves to rescue Gaara from the Akatsuki, Konohamaru has trouble with his first phase of technique training and improves with his Sexy Jutsu. Using sexual women magazines as a consequence to Ebisu's distress, Konohamaru mastered Naruto's first lesson. Naruto returns and gives Konohamaru a rubber ball for his second phase of training, before leaving the village again to find clues about Sasuke. Konohamaru gets Ebisu's unusual help and reaction along with his teammates, but fails to complete training with the Rasengan.

As Kakashi and Yamato see Konohamaru's unorthodox training method for the first two steps, Naruto tells Konohamaru the final phase of his training, but Konohamaru fails to create Shadow Clones and challenges Naruto to see who will master their respective new technique first. Naruto successfully adds his wind chakra nature to his Rasengan and Konohamaru mourns for Asuma. Konohamaru learns the Shadow Clone jutsu and the Rasengan taught by Naruto. As Naruto leaves the village, Konohamaru uses what he learned to attack Pain. Naruto thanks Konohamaru for storing his old stuff in the evacuation shelter.


Episode 424: Madara is puzzled by Naruto stopping Guy's chakra from fading. Madara defends himself from Naruto's punch with his remaining Truth-Seeking Ball, noticing an increase in Naruto's power. With Son Gokū's chakra, Naruto creates a lava Rasenshuriken and attacks Madara and the tree with it, dodging Madara's Limbo: Border Jail. Naruto's attack severs the tree, which appears to tell Madara to absorb it, Madara actually being told that by Black Zetsu telepathically, which Madara does. Naruto takes Guy to Lee and Gaara. In Kamui's dimension, Sakura thanks Obito for saving Naruto, and Obito has a request for her. Sasuke frees Tobirama from Madara's Black Receivers, Tobirama notices a change in him, and Sasuke asks if Tobirama can teleport him. Madara recovers from having absorbed the tree, telling Naruto he can't be defeated. Naruto picks up one of his father's kunai, powering up with his own Truth-Seeking Balls, that he would not be alone, as Sasuke appears beside him with a newly awakened Rinnegan. Madara notes he himself possesses both their powers, and prepares to fight. Madara attacks, but Naruto deflects the attack and Sasuke evades it completely. Madara realises they have discovered the working of his Limbo. Naruto readies a Rasengan with Shukaku's cursed seals. Madara escapes Naruto and Sasuke's attack by sacrificing his Limbo, and flies away to steal Kakashi's Sharingan. Sasuke manages to cut Madara in half, but he manages to warp into Kamui's dimension. There he attacks Sakura, who at Obito's request, is about to destroy the Rinnegan so Black Zetsu cannot get it for Madara.


Episode 425: Obito saves Sakura from Madara's attack, sending her back to the real world. She tends to Kakashi's injury, and explains Obito's warning about Madara retrieving his Rinnegan. Naruto finishes sealing Madara's shadow. Madara notices the cursed seal he placed on Obito's heart is gone. Obito tells him he had Kakashi destroy it in their earlier battle, since it prevented Obito from absorbing the Ten Tails, and Madara reveals himself as the mastermind behind Rin's death, which meant to turn all the positive feelings Obito had into hatred, moving in to retrieve his Rinnegan. Naruto reaches his teammates, and restores Kakashi's eye. Kakashi watches nostalgically as Team 7 bickers, remembering their goals. He asks Sasuke what is his goal now, but before Sasuke can answer, he senses Madara's arrival, and urges them to remember their teamwork. Madara arrives with Black Zetsu now in control over Obito's body. Though scared, Sakura charges ahead, intent on creating an opening for Naruto and Sasuke, but is stopped by Madara's shadow. They retrieve her. Madara takes off to the sky, and creates multiple Chibaku Tensei, having them fall from the sky. Naruto and Sasuke move in to destroy them, while Naruto's clones deal with Madara's four new shadows. In the sky, Madara recalls the text from the stone tablet, and removes the plating from his forehead, revealing a third eye. The eye opens, and is reflected on the moon, casting the Infinite Tsukuyomi.
