Watch Naruto Online

Kakashi’s and Guy’s teams both figure out that their battles with the doppelgängers were set-ups to delay them from coming to Gaara’s rescue. Granny Chiyo reveals that in attempts to control a Bijuu’s power they were binded into human hosts called “Jinchūriki,” and that the human host dies when the bijuu is extracted–increasing the urgency of saving Gaara. Kankuro is awake and joins a meeting of the Sand council where we also learn some more history of the Sand. Both teams stop to rest since their battles have taken their tolls and in prepation for the battles to come. Akatsuki sends Zetsu to dispose of the doppelgängers bodies.

The two battles continue from previous episode. Naruto is released from Itachi’s genjutsu by Chiyo and Sakura after his failed attempt to release himself. Distracted and immobilized by Kakashi’s shadow clone, Itachi takes a direct hit from Naruto’s Great Ball Spiraling Sphere. Meanwhile, Guy opens the sixth gate and defeats Kisame using Morning Peacock. The Konoha shinobi then find out, to their surprise, that they have not defeated Itachi or Kisame, but two entirely different people.
