Spoilers for this title

Quick recap

The third Shippuden movie. Ninja with kekkei genkai are disappearing from several nations, and the blame lands on the Land of Fire, pushing it to the brink of war. The culprit is Hiruko, a rogue who once ran with the Sannin and uses a chimera technique to absorb chakra and bloodlines. All he lacks is Kakashi's Sharingan. Hiruko triggers an old curse that forces Kakashi to leave the village. Naruto and Sakura go after their teacher against orders, and other teams are sent to bring them back. At the temple, during an eclipse, Naruto frees Kakashi, the teams bring down Hiruko's beast, and the Rasenshuriken, which Hiruko can't absorb, finishes him.
