After that, Kakashi leads Team 10 consisting of Shikamaru, Ino, Choji fight them again. Meanwhile, Naruto practices gaining a new Jutsu. Initially, Asuma’s team which includes Shikamaru fights them and ultimately loses resulting in Asuma’s death. This arc shows Konoha’s fight against Kakuzu and Hidan, with both seemingly possess immortal bodies. Fourth Shinobi World War: Confrontation ArcĮpisodes – 261 to 270, 272 to 289, 296 to 310, 312 to 321 in Shippuden Overall this part of the war arc is very chaotic and the fights are enjoyable but it is definitely not as engaging as other arcs in the series. Naruto and Sasuke being reincarnations of Ashura and Indra respectively is one of such moments. There are some other moments that are probably the worst moments in the series.
On one side, there is Might Guy, who is a son of an eternal Genin with no ninja skills and on the other side, there is Madara who is one of the strongest characters ever with Ten Tails inside him. Everything about this fight is amazing from theory, visuals, importance, etc. Might Guy’s fight against a Jinchuriki Madara is an example of the “underdog” theme that is stressed in the early parts of the series. This arc was in contention to be the worst arc in the series but I ranked it high due to Might Guy’s fight with Madara. Then Madara becomes the Ten-Tails Jinchiriki himself and the protagonists face an impossible task. Obito even decides to revive those killed but gets betrayed by Zetsu and gets Madara revived. This arc shows the birth of Obito as Ten-Tails Jinchuriki and his eventual redemption. Fourth Shinobi World War: Countdown ArcĮpisodes – 215 to 222, 242 to 256 in Shippuden So 40 chapters for getting to that point is a bit too much. Sasuke isn’t going to come back to the village and we know that. Overall, this arc doesn’t move the story forward and that is the biggest issue. Also, the fight between Orochimaru and Naruto isn’t the best fight in the series and also doesn’t have any plot relevance. There are other things such as Danzo’s foundation which is introduced in this arc but is practically useless in future arcs.
The above point isn’t the reason I ranked this low. Sasuke, at this point, is a fugitive working under Orochimaru willingly. One thing I never get is why does no one object to Naruto’s and Sakura’s motive to get Sasuke back. In that hideout, Naruto meets Sasuke for the first time since his departure. Meanwhile, Sai has his own plan by approaching Danzo and goes to their hideout. They encounter Orochimaru and Kabuto, and later Naruto fights Orochimaru in his four-tailed Kyuubi form. In this arc, Yamato takes the role of captain of Team 7 and Sai takes the place of Sasuke and they go on a mission to meet Sasori’s spy who is later revealed to be Kabuto.
