Naruto Shippuden · Five Kage Summit

With Tsunade in a coma after Pain's attack, Danzō is named acting Hokage. Cloud ninja arrive with an execution order for Sasuke, who attacked Killer Bee, and Naruto refuses to hand him over. The five Kage meet in the Land of Iron to deal with the Akatsuki, and Sasuke storms the summit after Danzō, taking on the Raikage and the others with Susanoo. Tobi introduces himself as Madara and declares the Fourth Great Ninja War, and the Kage form an alliance. Sasuke kills Danzō. Sakura sets out alone, determined to kill Sasuke herself, but hesitates, and Kakashi steps in. The arc stops with Kakashi facing Sasuke, who is starting to lose his sight.
