http://www.tailedfox.com/page-naruto-shippuden-212

Sakura rushes to deal with Sasuke and his rogue ninja ways. She is accompanied by Sai, Lee, Kiba and Akamaru. Sakura stops the formation abruptly and attempts to put everyone asleep. Sai stops her, but wouldn't let anyone continue either. He argues that the four of them are no match for Sasuke or Tobi. Sakura wants to engage in battle with Sai but Sai calls for Super Beast Scroll snakes to attempt to blind them. Kiba jumps at Sai only to be captured by these art snakes. Akamaru held back, but Sakura sneaks in with her gas bombs and all fall asleep quickly. Sakura's resolve continues.

As Sakura alone rushes to face Sasuke, she remembers the good in Sasuke, how he gave part of his lunch to Naruto when he was forbidden to eat and how Kakashi explained that they all pass because "those who break the rules are scum, but those who abandon their friends are worst than scum." Sakura never gave a thought about who really was behind the pensive face.

When Sasuke was bitten by a snake/human explaining that Sasuke will seek him out in search for power. Sakura didn't understand then, but Sasuke did. He has become an avenger seeking power at any price even if it meant being consumed by evil. Sasuke started following a path none other from Hidden Village could follow.

Danzo has lost to Sasuke in the last episode of Naruto Shippuden 211. Grabbing on to his last straw he engaged in Collateral Sealing Jutsu Reverse Tetragram, that would seal Sasuke inside his corpse forever. Madara recognized the justu, warned Sasuke and escaped in the nick of time.
Madara goes on to take Danzo's right eye and urges Sasuke to get some rest as he lost lot of his visual prowess. Madara then advices to finish Karin off as she knows too much about them already.

Karin on a brink of her own death recalls Sasuke saving her life when she was attacked by a bear. At that moment Sakura shows up. Sakura recognizes a different Sasuke and pretends to want to desert Hidden Leaf to come with him.

Naruto regains consciousness after he lost it hyperventilating. Yamato announces that he'll take him to Hidden Leaf as ordered by Kakashi. Title of next episode is "Lost Bonds". Karin isn't dead yet, Sakura resolves to join then kill Sasuke and Kakashi is on his way to handle Sakura.

SUMMARY OF NARUTO SHIPPUDEN 211

"You were too hasty. Go to your brother Itachi so he can lecture you." says Danzo as he struggles with Sasuke. Madara also thinks this is the extent of Sasuke's power.

Izanagi is not that strong after all. Sasuke's Genjutsu is a far cry from Itachi's Tsukuyomi, where Itachi manipulated time within genjutsu. The trick lies in how you use this time. Izanagi is powerful, but Sharingan eye closes once it's exhausted. We saw Sharingan on Danzo's arm close after 60 seconds of activity. When Sasuke relentlessly attacked Danzo with many Sharingan eyes still open on his right arm, it seemed suicidal. Sasuke did close all Danzo's Sharingan one by one. He is after all, Uchiha, ninja with Mangekyo Sharingan. Sasuke placed genjutsu on Danzo in the last attack and this genjutsu made Danzo believe that the last eye on his right arm was still open when in fact it was closed already.

Danzo didn't get to use Shisui's eye and now Sasuke may take over the Shisui. Danzo nearing his death lost his control over his chakra and over Hashirama's power. His right arm tore off and when you would expect Danzo to just give up and die, he unwound the white gauze from his head and revealed his right Shisui's eye. The visual prowess has returned to his right eye. As Danzo intended to, he used up his Izanagi to allow time for Shisui's eye to recuperate. Next, Danzo uses his Shisui's eye, now in full power, to visually distract Sasuke and grab Karin who earlier tended to Sasuke. Danzo wants to sacrifice Karin for the saving Hidden Leaf and reforming the ninja world. Sasuke asks Karin not to move and shot a lightning rod right through Karin hidding a vital point of Danzo and killing Karin in the process. Before Karin passed on she managed to ask one question: "What was I to you Sasuke?" Merciless Sasuke answered coolly: "Karin, since you managed to get taken hostage, you're nothing but a burden to me." Danzo wounded and bleeding walked off only to be caught by Madara who now demands his Shisui's eye.

Story rewinds to the times when Itachi joined Anbu Special Forces and was asked about Shisui Uchiha who died the night before. Second Hokage and his Team of Seven need to send out a decoy to divert attention from Hidden Cloud Kintaku Unit and Danzo volunteers albeit too late as Saru called it first. Danzo is a Shinobi and he wants to die an honorable way as his ancestors did, that's why he needs to be the one to get picked. Hashirama, second Hokage, would not have it. He will be the decoy. Hashirama recognized Saru's courage and anointed him to be the next Hokage.

Danzo wasn't done yet. He activated Reverse Tetragram Sealing Jutsu, remembering his best friend Hiruzen and how he gave his life to protect Hidden Leaf Village.

Sakura is back at the scene remembering how she started liking Sasuke, never understanding who he actually was and is. Sakura resolved to seek Sasuke and try to kill him.

SUMMARY OF NARUTO SHIPPUDEN 210

Itachi looks Danzo in the eye and says "die". The Amaterasu envelops Danzo in a black hot flames. Sasuke rushes to run Danzo through with his nihonto but stops cold just a short of entering Danzo's torso. It seems Danzo is protected by some jutsu or other. Danzo was aware of Sasuke's genjutsu "a far cry from Itachi's masterful Tsukuyomi." What made Sasuke stop? A Curse Mark that paralyzed his body. Danzo's chakra has changed. He turned to paralyzed Sasuke and said: "Why was it important to save life of such trash, Itachi?" Then as he was about to slash through Sasuke's throat Susano'o spun out of Sasuke breaking the Curse in the process. Danzo managed to change its patch of attack, but to major loss of his chakra. Does Danzo possess some other hidden chakra? Having cells from First Hokage Hashirama, implanted in him to enhance his physical energy, he was able to control that many Sharingan on his arm. But in the Susano'o attack he lost the invincible powers and now it's just Danzo against Sasuke.

Danzo now knows what Karin knows and with simple hand signal his chakra changes again. There are 10 Sharingan on Danzo's arm, but three eyes are closed. Karin figures Sharingan and the justu preformed are definitely connected and the power is in the eyes that are closed. The power of Uchiha and Hashirama it looks like Danzo is trying to control Nine-Tails. So he is after Naruto as well and this is the Visual Jutsu that was forbidden even among Uchiha. It's called Izanagi and it represents the ability to control the space between fantasy and reality. An ultimate genjutsu. The eye that uses Izanagi loses its light, never to open again. Danzo has 10 eyes and he needed to control the time that these eyes are opened and extend it for as long as possible.

Danzo needed to weigh his odds carefully as Madara wasn't getting involved just yet and he needed to preserve his chakra. With Summoning Jutsu he evoked Baku, a monster that devours nightmares. Taking advantage of Baku's suction power Danzo played another Wind Style Vaccum Blast Barrage. With this Danzo found a vulnerable spot in Susano'o, but Sasuke didn't wait around and called up Fire Ball Jutsu. Fire was inhaled by Baku and killed him off. Danzo caught by surprise wasn't prepared for a side blow of Susano'o. Sharingan eyes stared closing every 60 seconds until only 4 remained. With 4 last Sharingan eyes left Danzo had about 240 seconds left. Sasuke Susano'o blows aren't effective on Danzo and Danzo's attacks are successful. Karin had tried to warn Sasuke, but he charged anyway. With single blow to Danzo, one of Sharingan eyes closed. Three are left, but if Danzo undid Izanagi Sasuke's strength would have been diminished to the point that would give him no advantage. Sasuke keeps pressing on Danzo, hoping that with each attacks he would use his precious Sharingan eyes up. Who will use up his strength first? Who will persevere?

Danzo is putting his remaining strength into a chakra blade. Sasuke yelled out: "How many Uchiha did you kill to get that right arm?" Danzo replied: "It was Itachi who enabled me to get it." They both charged. It seems that Danzo's Shisui's eye has recovered and Sasuke won't be of much use with this injury. Danzo will have to try to put Madara under Genjutsu and manipulate him

SUMMARY OF NARUTO SHIPPUDEN 209

http://www.tailedfox.com/page-naruto-shippuden-209

Gaara will give his life to protect Naruto. Sakura has decided to kill Sasuke herself. Sai suggested he should stop her but Kakashi wants to see if he can talk her out of it first.

Sasuke is a rogue ninja, a member of Akatsuki. Itachi Uchiha, his older brother, killed all members of his own clan following orders from the Elders of the village and ultimately sacrificed his life for his younger brother Sasuke. Sasuke lost it all, his family and believe system and all in exchange for peace in Hidden Leaf Village. This is where the hatred was born. Could he forgive Hidden Leaf? All he is doing now is of the desire for revenge. Itachi has instilled all his powers in Sasuke so that he could fight and revenge the clan.

Danzo reveals many Sharingan on his right arm. It would take a long time explaining where and how he obtained them all. All Sasuke wants to know is if Itachi eliminated Uchiha clan by orders of Elders. Danzo ignores the question and bolts to attack. Sasuke doesn't move an inch and super strong shield of Susano'o stops Danzo cold. Grabbing Danzo and squeezing the life out of him Susano'o seemed awesome. Here comes a surpise as Danzo sneaks out of the grip unharmed. Another blow another escape. What is Danzo using to avoid the certain death? Is it gengutsu? Sasuke resolves to use Amaterasu, a black hot flames that swallow everything. Danzo slips away with but a nick to himself. With a Wind Style: Vacuum Bullets Danzo gets his first contact and Sasuke's arm starts bleeding. Summoning jutsu in mid air saved Sasuke's life. Danzo ignores the pleas not to speak of Itachi and suggests that Sasuke is heartless coward that doesn't care about Itachi's legacy, kills whoever he can lay his eyes on, making Itachi's sacrifice meaningless.

Fight goes on, Danzo seems to recover on every turn. Sovereign and cocky Danzo stands unharmed claiming there is no use to attacking him. Then black crows fly out of Sasuke and Itachi appears behind Danzo. "Why did you die for this child Itachi?" Asks Danzo. "Sasuke misinterpreted your intentions, he charges ahead with only hatred as his rationale. He is a fool."

Summary of Naruto Shippuden 208

http://www.tailedfox.com/page-naruto-shippuden-208

Sai visits Naruto telling him that Sakura didn't really come there to profess her love for Naruto. Hidden Leaf Village came to agreement that Sasuke is an enemy now. Naruto's comrades are all committed to this. After Akatsuki attacked Hidden Leaf, Sasuke can no longer be considered as one of their own. Sakura wanted to tell Naruto all this but knew that he would be too hurt and instead she told him that she loved him to free him from the burden of promise he made to her. Promise, that he would bring Sasuke back. Sakura no longer wanted Naruto to be burdened by this promised, she resolved to kill Sasuke herself. It's because she loves Sasuke so much she cannot bear to watch him turn so evil. By killing Sasuke she would get rid of the source of Naruto's agony and avenge the whole village for the carnage Akatsuki had caused. Having learned all this Naruto is in turmoil.

Madara caught up with Danzo. Foo and Torune attack to distract Madara. Foo had tried mind transfer, but it didn't work. He couldn't even feel Madara's chakra. Madara just disappeared into the stone. He then resurfaced behind Foo. Foo had sliced his head off but that didn't kill Madara as he de-materialized his body for the attack and then re-materializes his body to attack. The only chance to succeed would be to attack Madara when he just re-materialized himself right after a failed attack. Foo is to be a decoy, run right through Madara's body and as Madara re-assembles himself Torune would hit him hard. This didn't go as well as planed as Madara has seen through this move and just pretended to defend himself. At the moment of Torune's hit, Madara didn't materialize and Torune's blow didn't hit Madara as planned, but landed on Foo's hand. This blow was to plant jutsu to flush in chakra and destroy Madara's cells. Now that it hit Foo instead of Madara, Torune needed to save Foo. Foo is in luck as Torune is from Aburame clan and knows how to handle nano sized beetles that work like bacteria and devour cells on contact. Torune saves his Buddy's life. Madara is amazed but cooly sucks in Torune, just like he did Sasuke and Karin. Now Madara's right hand has also been injected with these venom beetles. No matter, Madara tears off his right arm, throws it at Foo and next second or two Foo gets sucked in as well.

Kakashi agrees to be the next Hokage. Gaara urges to battle to protect Eight-Tails and Nine-Tails. He will as Kazekage give his life to protect Naruto. He urges Naruto to do the right thing as Sasuke's friend. Sand pledges cooperation with Leaf.

Karin revives Sasuke in the dark place inside Madara. Madara takes them out to face Danzo. Sasuke blinks to activate his ocular powers. Danzo getting ready for the fight, unwrapping his right arm proclaims: "Sasuke, madara, I'll take both your Sharingan." Sasuke wants to know if Itachi eliminated his Uchiha clan by the order of Elders in Hidden Leaf.

Byakugan user from Hidden Mist Ao is still tailing Danzo and the crew as they're trying to escape Five Kage Summit. Foo was ordered to set a trap for Ao and when caught to gouge out his right eye. Ao catches on to Danzo's booby trap. Or so he things. Minute later he falls under a Puppet Curse Jutsu. His mind is now sealed inside puppet's body. Foo is now in possession of Ao's body. He must now gouge out the right eye of Byakugan, but he cannot, as it is protected by a barrier Ninjustu, trick synonymous with Hidden Mist Black Ops. Foo decides to behead himself to take Ao's head to the Leaf. Lady Kazekage shows up trying to help. She suggested to unlock the barrier to Byakugan eye not knowing that Ao was under Mind transfer Jutsu and not there at all. Ao would have never allowed this and Kazekage knew this. Thus Lady Kazekage discovered that something wasn't right and she expelled Foo from Ao's body.

Kisame Hoshigaki faces Killer Bee, Jinchuriki of Eight-Tails. Killer Bee being an octopus brat conjures out an ink from his mouth and writes down the name. Then in his HipHop bravado he spells out: "I'm gonna make you weep! You sharky creep!" In the previous episode of Naruto Shippuden 206 Kisame's sword Samehada ate up one of Eight-Tail's tails, or rather its chakra, so now Killer Bees' Tailed Beast cloaks only seven tails.

"Octopi eat sharks" Killer Bee yells and as he attacks Kisame, Samehada sucks out another tails' chakra. Kisame grows more cocky and promises to devour the octopus. Killer Bee realizes that Samehada is a "speed eater" and that it can only devour six tails' worth of chakra at one time. It's time for Killer Bee to call up on a Tailed Beast state. Master Kin and Ponta are called up. Killer Bee borrows chakra from the Tailed Beast and in Lariat state two attacks Kisame. He now seems like he is done for a day when Samehada steals more chakra from Eight-tals and Kisame becomes even stronger. The Tailless Tailed Beast. Bee needs to take away this Same hada sword if he wants to win, but Kisame merged with the sword and now Bee has a amicable opponent to fight. If things weren't bad, Kisame called for water style justu making both Master Kin and Ponta to drawn. "Honky-dory circumstances" Killer Bee says as he tries to swim to the end of the water sphere. This water style jutsu however moves with Kisame so swimming to the edge with this half fish half guy Kisame will be impossible. Killer Bee is forced to drop enka geezer and the raccoon he was dragging along hoping Kisame will follow just him and Raccoon with Enka will be saved. Kisame decides to kill them anyway so Killer Bee has to attack. Holding on to Kisame causes him to loose even more chakra. Taking Eight-Tails' advice Killer Bee splurges black ink in this water so to cause a smokescreen and get out of the water. This doesn't go easy as Kisame can sense chakra in the water without having to see one. Kisame pounds on Killer Bee until he is lying on the ground motionless. Kisame swings samehada and when he is just about to cut off Killer Bee's legs, Samehada takes Eight-Tails side and merges with its chakra. They did after all come from the same Ten-Tail Beast. Kisame grabs onto another sword but Killer Bees' brother Raikage shows up just in time and with double Lariat Kisame Hoshigaki goes down.

Gaara is trying to convince Naruto to take the battle to protect himself. He promises to protect Naruto with his own life. In order to become Hokage, Naruto must do what it takes to be there for Sasuke as his friend.

"What a miff, I'll erase him in a jiff" says Killer Bee when spotting Kisame Hoshigaki, member of Akatsuki and Seven Ninja Swordsmen. Kisame's sword is known as Samehada, Shark Skin. When this evil sword and his chakra merge, Kisame Hoshigaki releases power close to that of a Jinchuriki. Eight-tails used Super Vibrato Lightning Blade and it got stopped cold by Kisame's Samehada.

Who will lead Allied Shinobi Force is still being deliberated. Mifune suggests Lord Ei. All agree and so Raikage becomes the head of the Forces.

In this episode of Naruto Shippuden 206 entitled Sakura's Feelings. Sakura shocks the living crap out of Naruto when she says she loves him. Shaken up he asks again what she means. Sakura explains that she doesn't want Naruto to hunt for Sasuke to fulfill the promised he made to her. Sasuke is moving farther away from you and hurting people and Sakura loves Naruto. Naruto comes to a few moments later and angrily shakes her up. Sakura tries to wiggle out of it by saying "women are as fickle as the autumn weather". Naruto hates people that lie to themselves and doesn't buy any of this. Sakura finally confesses that she is afraid for Naruto as he is the Nine-Tails' Jinchuriki. Naruto however doesn't chase after Sasuke just because he made a promise to Sakura. He now understands why Sasuke became obsessed with revenge and he needs to save him. Sakura leaves with a promise to herself that she would hunt down Sasuke and Eight-Tails. Of course, she could weaken the Cloud and the Leaf.

Kisame will visit us again in this fight with Eight-Tail Killer Bee. A Tailed Beast Cloak with only seven chakra tails...Killer Bee promises to make Kisame weep like a sharky creep.
