Quick recap

With Tsunade in a coma, Danzo takes over as acting Hokage. The five Kage gather in the Land of Iron to deal with the Akatsuki, and the Raikage wants Sasuke's head for attacking his brother. Sasuke crashes the summit and fights the Raikage, the Mizukage and the Tsuchikage. Tobi shows up, reveals the Eye of the Moon Plan and declares the Fourth Shinobi World War. Naruto tries to talk the Raikage into forgiving Sasuke and fails. Sasuke hunts down Danzo and kills him after a brutal fight, but, blinded by hate, wounds Karin and tries to kill Sakura. Kakashi and Naruto arrive in time. Naruto and Sasuke trade one blow, and Tobi whisks Sasuke away.
