Why I Love The Five Kage Summit Arc 

Sasuke vs 5 kage

1. Sasuke almost getting killed. 2. Karin getting stabbed. 3. Raikage not listening to Naruto

Shinobi alliance

Tobi casually stalking Naruto

When Sasuke said “it’s Sasuke time” and Sasuke’d all over his haters by being the main character.

During the time of the arc and its conclusion everyone loved it and was hyped. It was only after the "fell off after Pain Arc" taking point that sprouted during the War Arc did everyone suddenly start ignoring the Kage Summit that was heavily enjoyed because it didn't fit what they had to parrot. Too many clown in this community that just repeat what's popular or "cool" to say. Can't respect these buffoons.

For real. 😅

Only Sauce fans like it because they truly believe he won and didn't got his ass beaten by 3 out of 5 kages The emo kid died 3 times there but plot armour saved him

I don’t like the War Arc in general so that includes this arc

They don’t, that’s cap, people LOVE the 5 Kage arc, dyingknight just wanted a reason to make a video on this arc I’m sure lmaoooo

Good point. I didn't think about that

Yeah. Guess things are a bigger problem when they arrive at your doorstep, eh? Sasuke's whole clan was murdered, innocent families and children included and for what? Some temporary peace? I just find it funny how almost no one wonders if maybe this whole mess was caused because of the village's hypocrisy and unwillingness to acknowledge the mistakes it made. Even Itachi admitted that he regretted his choice and wished he could've done things different. He laments that he wasn't brave enough to tell his brother the truth. And yet, Danzo just acts like it's some righteous goal while flaunting his special arm embedded with the stolen eyes of the clan he had killed.

One aspect of that is how not even Naruto wasn't safe from that thinking since, while the story itself doesn't acknowledge it, his expecting the Raikage to forgive Sasuke for seemingly kidnapping Killer B partly comes off as self-centered in forgetting how bad he wanted to kill Pain to avenge Jiraiya. For years I disliked that scene but seeing your point, it makes more sense more than ever.

That's an ad hoc rationalization of bad writing, it isn't the intended message of the arc. You literally like the arc because you inject something of yours into it.

It shows how the villages treated everyone not in power as lower.

Yes! And that's was amazing! Sadly from now on, world building was on a descending. And Boruto is making it stupidly worse.

And he’s just more entertaining to watch then Naruto. Remember how boring og Naruto show was when sasuke left. And even in shippuden his fights are just far more interesting and exciting

@@newlife6265Agree Naruto boring as hell, preaching the same shit and fighting the exact same way in every fight. It's the same thing on repeat with him

agreed.Sasuke's arc and character development here was packed with emotions and you can really feel and understand his pain to the point where you even started to root for him,even if he was on a vengeful war path of destruction.. then the war arc started and he was just kind of left in the background.his anger faded too quickly and even his last fight with Naruto was just unimpactful... i feel like we got robbed of the true final delve to darkness in Sasuke's character arc

​@@newlife6265it's boring because it's filler with bad writing. Nothing to do with naruto

@@theflashgordon193 true but Naruto fights just really aren’t that good in the whole Naruto series. It’s either he goes auto pilot with the nine tails or one shots Sombody with a rasengan when after getting knocked around the whole fight. We rarely see him use his cleverness and skills to win a fight. At least not how other characters do

I liked the anime version I found it pretty engaging ngl.

@@BigUpSwvyI’m saying lol

I like it because it was Sasuke best arc. He revolted against the shinobi world that exploited literally all shinobis including the Uchihas. He spat on the kages went in to fight and was leading the fight until Ohnoki stepped in which i dont blame him because Sasuke hadnt matured completely yet. Sasuke did the thing that soo many shinobis in this world want to do-escape / upend the way the world works. Sasuke in this arc is not just a rogue nin but a SYMBOL of all the grudges the Kage system has caused for 3-4 generations of shinobi.

I loved it , perfectly captured sasuke's badassery. People hated it basically cause it focuses more on sasuke than naruto

I loved this arc. Never knew people thought it was boring. But having only read it, seeing that maybe it's because of the anime, that makes sense

Very true,This arc is where we get introduced to all the kages and other villages besides Konoha and Sand village.

I honestly loved seeing Sasuke go down a dark path like this. And hey, I wanted Danzo dead just as much as him.

Na sasuke suck for being in that situation

Nope they wouldn't

Suigetsu would probably just run away and Jugo would remain loyal to Sasuke until Sasuke eventually kills him, since Sasuke wants to sever all bonds.

Yeah, it is true... If Karin croaked, they would've just lost their "healer"... That's it. 😐🙃~need get replacement [healer] medicine 💊✨

Kage hypocrisy isnrealism

@@eavyeavy2864it very much is. Same reasoning as with real life world leaders. They preach peace unity and prosperity publicly, but behind closed doors oh boy do they have skeletons in the closet.

Sasuke really does get away with it all. Consequences from his crimes? from basically being killed by the kage (plot armor)? what consequences? he just lmao'ed it all off every single time.

He planned to kill Tobi for his involvement in the massacre. That's why he asked Itachi who his accomplice was. After learning the truth he wanted to use him for Biju power. Then to locate Danzo & obtain EMS. After killing Danzo he told him they weren't allies. First thing he did after recovering from the transplantation was kill Zetsu. As for the villagers. Uchiha were ordered to be wiped out. No mercy. As revenge he would do the same to them. Too cruel, but rational.

​@@sasukeiseasilythebestchara2954 ​ When did he give any indication he had plans to kill Tobi anytime in the future? I read the chapters again with Itachi and he just asked him about his part and his intentions in the massacre. Not one line indicating that he searching any info before considering kill Tobi/Madara. There is no reason to believe that the killing of the Zetsus has anything to do with plans to kill Tobi, or anything besides to test his powers or because they were in his way. But if he indeed planned to kill Tobi, that would be indeed more coherent of him. But even still, if you see any rationality in thinking that some hundred or thousands innocent babies from konoha deserve to die because some dozen uchiha babies were killed by order of a few top administrators from the village decided to respond the coup that would put all the village at risk by killling including perhaps a bit more than a dozen uchiha babies, all that while 99,9% of the village didn't even know about this order, then we have completly different definitions of what rationality and emocionality is. Also, having only hatred for the babies his because of such an abominable and unforgivable sin that neither they nor their parents had any part, while having only love for Itachi, the main executioner, just because he did this for love for Sasuke is quite emocional, and not reasonable. Sasuke himself defends his position by saying something in the likes of "if anyone disagrees with me and think that I am acting emotinal, than I will kill everyone they ever cared about. So them they can understand a bit ofm y hatred". All that after saying that he values Itachi's life, the main executioner of the clan, more than the entire village. That's impossible to obtain a higher certificate of emotinality than that. There is no reason. Just the pure hatred of a brat who can't deal his emotions. Or can't deal with the "Uchiha Curse of Hatred" retcon that Tobirama explainded.

@@ericLpereira1989 Chapter 385 page 3. The village treated Naruto like trash just for having Kurama so how do you think they treated the clan suspected to having summoned it? Uchiha were already oppressed for generations before the Kyuubi attack. Kept from any governing position despite being a founding clan, then faced further discrimination after. The problem was systemic. For example, theres a reason the Sand and Sound wanted to destroy Konoha rather than just overthrow the leaders. The citizens shared the same beliefs. They'd just replace them with like-minded people and the same problems would occur. Innocent kids will be raised to be the same. I'd prefer he only wanted to kill the elders & change the ninja system, but becoming so angry made sense. The "Curse of Hatred" isn't a retcon. Uchiha progress their greatest power from hatred. Consistently shown with Sasuke. It could be through positive emotion but given their line of work (especially in the warring states era) it was usually negative.

​@@sasukeiseasilythebestchara2954 Dude, you don't have to mention any of the 200 pages that showed the village treating Naruto as trash. I"ve read the manga. Also... chapter 385 page 3 is Itachi and Sasuke talking, with 0 mention to Naruto or 9tails, much less any village treatment. Anyway, Naruto's treatment was in part because the villagers saw the Kyuubi himself in Naruto. The bijuu they didn't have suspicion of being responsible for the huge suffering caused to most of the village, but absolute certainty of it. Also, Naruto made things worse in his michiefs and pranking just to get attention. It's a different reason than suspiciousness towards Uchiha, and there is no information towards how many of the village indeed believed in their involvement. But for all it is demonstrated, Sasuke is never showened receiving any kind of bad treatment from any of the villages in his time in Konoha. Quite the contrary, he seems to receive only admiration and friendlyness in the academy (and if you think that that doesn't count because most of the people he met there were kids and had no idea of any Kurama rampage nor suspicion on Uchihas....well, just try to compare how things were to Naruto again. The hatred and mistrust from the adults were transmited to their kids when it came to him. At the least this should indicate that the bad feelings towards Naruto were bigger than those towards Uchiha). There is no dialogue indicating any known adult characters prior to the Uchiha massacre, like Kakashi and the oher Jounins, nor Hiruzen, mistreated any Uchiha based on suspicions. All we get is some talk from Tobi that suspicion grew in the village. That's no reason to take for granted neither that there wasn't a substantial number of citizens that weren't suspicious, nor that those who indeed were treated Uchihas like trash. And when it comes to times prior to Kurama's rampage, the evidence grows even shorter. No scene demonstrating any mistreatment towards Obito being a Uchiha. Nor repports from either Itachi, Fugaku or non Uchiha characters. Off course, I'm talking bout the manga. Don't know about the anime nor light novels and don't care nor see relevancy in then when it comes to the manga. The curse of hatred is new information presented without foreshadowing, changing previous views towards the story and it's characters (no one had oficial clues leading to believe that sharingan activation had, by itself, any effect in the minds of Sasuke's, Obito's or other Uchihas. Sasuke's behaviour after awakening them against Haku changed nothing. Nor when agaisnt Naruto. Nor Obito's. In fact, it would make more chance to say the contrary, not that I would believe it was. Sasuke sacrifices himself trying to save Naruto in the bridge. And when fighting Naruto he seems less psycopathic and with less killing intent than when he was just trying to kill him with a smile on his face, though it could be due to lesser influence from the curse mark as well, or due to simply considering Naruto as more of a friend). Therefore, I see it as something that fits the criteria for being considered "retcon". But whatever, it's just semantics.

@@ericLpereira1989 I cited chapter 385 page 3 in response to you claiming he never planned to kill Tobi. Things were different for Naruto but being shunned by the same village your clan founded, served & protected for generations is worse. Uchiha also realized their oppression was in place long before the Kyuubi attack. They were relegated to the Police Force to keep them isolated & away from governing positions. Face to face Sasuke was left alone but you said why yourself. He wasn't misbehaving like Naruto. If everyone was fine with Uchiha they wouldn't have been relocated to the outskirts for years. Do you think everyone was oblivious or Konoha is a dictatorship where citizens are scared to speak against government officials? It's far more likely that many agreed with them. Sharingan doesn't change their minds. Their minds changing, typically from hatred, creates Sharingan. It's like a curse that their greatest power is gained from negativity.

Not true, Hidan was from Yugakure.

No akatsuki members from the cloud but I get what you mean

Sasuke only had regular sharingan vs Itachi with mangekyo and so6p tools

Boruto supporters have no standard. Even dried, stale bread is master chief delivery standard!🍞😢 lol

Ikr? ^^

Thank you! Will do!

Have you seen his Naruto rewrite series? It's pretty good

Totally.

Best summary ever. Sasuke is my favorite naruto character next to Naruto and Kakashi and I think his fall into darkness and his radical view of what it should mean to be hokage was very well done

All he wanted was to go after Danzo. Sasuke is given a lot of crap such as what you mentioned but he never really started any fights he didn't deem necessary unless the enemy attacked him first. Obito also sidetracked him too much by having him fight all the kage but to his credit, I suppose it worked out for him since he needed to awaken his susano and visual prowess to even stand a chance against danzo.

Also, Naruto stands up for Sasuke for no reason. When his next mission is to most likely have to bury Sasuke. But those Cloud ninja wouldn't have taken that up with Danzo or Kakashi. I mean what tools he's only in the same squad. What a friend tho. He always does the right thing.

Was fine before to. Like Iruka did for him, he wanted to save his fellow orphan, a person who risked his life to save his multiple times, from going down a dark path (Naruto hated the villagers and wanted revenge against them). He also felt he wasn't worthy of becoming Hokage, being in charge of protecting the entire village, if he couldn't save Sasuke.

​@@sasukeiseasilythebestchara2954 Yeah I agree. I'm just saying it's probably easier to make a case that he should have abandoned Hebi Sasuke at Orochimarus place than the Taka Sasuke at the five Kage Summit. While he was less far gone at the time, he was already pretending to be just as bad as he truly ended up being. That being said, I'm not personally on the side of either argument, I'm just granting them legitimacy. To me, only if the Pain Arc hadn't happened but Sasuke still attacked the five Kage Summit, that is the only situation where I'd say Naruto would truly have been in the wrong to pursue Sasuke. because the Iruka and Hokage reasons alone aren't enough anymore to justify that.

Sharingan is intensive for those who don't naturally have it & Sasuke consistently showed that speed. Even with summoning. The battle begins with him summoning a snake in the blink of an eye to block Deidara's ambush. Earlier he not only got inbetween Suigetsu and Jugo a second before they hit each other, but summoned snakes to wrap around them. Flying Thunder God is extremely rare. His counter was better. He used a common technique in a clever way. He was always a speed based fighter both in mind (deducing abilities, coming up with plans), body (foot and reaction speed) & technique (Sharingan, Chidori, Kirin, Amaterasu, & Susano arrows) so teleportation being his Rinnegan ability is perfect. Like how Tsukuyomi - the ultimate genjutsu, is for Itachi who lived as a spy.

@@sasukeiseasilythebestchara2954 Your stance means that Sasuke was just absurdly dumb and dropped his sharingan vs his opponent for no good reason while somehow having enough chakra to summon something that through the entire series has required an S rank Ninja or tailed beast to have to have the spare chakra for. And that despite having so much chakra left over he didn’t bother using it to immobilize his opponent (perhaps with snakes) so that he wouldn’t need to summon Manda in the first place? And Manda is supposed to respond to Sasuke’s summon instead of either breaking/penalizing Sasuke’s contract for killing Orochimaru or summoning Sasuke (contacts go both ways) to slaughter him at a bad time? Or even for just using those misc summoned snakes as canon fodder before he got to Manda? The scenario only gets worse the more one thinks of it. Deidara even has to be one of the only times narrative exposition is outright wrong (as opposed to a character using trickery) via saying Sasuke is low on Chakra for any of this to work despite being an s rank. It feels more like Kishimoto backed himself into a corner and pulled something out than anything planned. And then you gotta suspend your disbelief to accept that Sasuke pulled an Indiana Jones and the fridge of infinity during an actual explosion taking place at his location which should have jellied him even while inside of Manda. Flying thunder god may be rare,but Sasuke was trained not only by Minato’s student, but by a guy with a goal of learning every justu to exist. Unlike Sasuke’s method of survival at the end of that fight, there is at least plausibility for him to get info on the flying thunder god from both of those sources and infuse chakra into a tag ahead of time to summon himself at a safer spot. Certainly better than a rinnegan ability with a massive chakra drain that’s a weaker version of the log jutsu even Sakura can do as a child.

@@Khajitxi Deidara is on the ground beaten with little chakra then suddenly uses a Bijudama level explosion that we didn't know he had. Yet you don't call that out. Kishimoto didn't make Sasuke run out of chakra then summon Manda a few seconds later nor was he forced to make Deidara use a random new move. 😆 Earlier Deidara questioned whether a CM2 Sharingan Sasuke was "running low on chakra" because he was suppousedly stuck in the clone (chapter 361 page 2). He's not a reliable narrator. Sasuke said he was worn out from shocking himself with Chidori (chapter 361 page 13). When he ran out against Itachi Orochimaru was able to emerge because til then Sasuke used a portion to suppress him (chapter 392 page 7). He deactivated Sharingan because he believed the battle was over. Sharingan can see chakra. He knew Deidara was finished (or should have been). Deidara *immediately* commented on this, got pissed & blew himself up (chapter 362 page 10). Strange how this dialogue eludes you despite placing so much value on his assumptions before. Well, you even missed Sasuke's statement on his condition. So perhaps you're just accepting information you want to believe. Hindsight bias. It's not common to see a guy transform into a bomb claiming it will kill you. Especially near chakra-less. Too risky to try neutralizing him. Best to evade. He used Sharingan Genjutsu to control Manda against it's will. Using Manda was a preplanned strategy given Suigetsu had a snake summoning scroll, a vial of Sasuke's blood to summon it and knew to do it when seeing the explosion (chapter 363 pages 4-6 & pages 10-13). Substitution jutsu is when a user replaces themself with something without the opponent noticing. They'd have to either be significantly faster or distract them to pull it off. Sasuke's teleportation allows him to transport himself, others, objects & even jutsu without moving. He can also redirect their position. As he did his sword against Madara to instantly stab him. That's far better. Flying Thunder God is a better comparison.

It's pretty much explained before the summit when tobi reveal to taka that they fail to capture bee and it only happened because sasuke cuts one of the eight tail tentacule to save karin which is a scenario that terrefies sasuke where his bonds got in his way and made him weaker. That's why in the summit when he's mad, blinded by rage and hatred he became stronger, abandonned juugo and suigestu because they're slowing him by their weakness and by piercing karin he obtained his goal which was killing danzo. It was to show that when sasuke is surounding by bonds he's "weak" and not succeding like when he fougth gaara in the forest, itachi in the hotel, the nigth of the massacre and his fight bee with taka. But when he decide to sever those bonds he's stronger and succeed like against naruto at the final valley and here with danzo. It was his lowest point in the serie and it's one of sasuke's character theme to think "that loniless makes you strong" and one of his flaws. It was a great character developpement for sasuke and in the war there's another change caused by his meeting with itachi and the hokages. Of course it was sad to see him not caring for taka but it just made him more interesting at that moment and fortunaly in the war arc, sasuke asks them to forgive him and they became friends again.

I think sasuke didn't care about karin in particular cause she didn't provide benefits other than being a healer,once she fullfilled that purpose he no longer cared.

Simple. Seeing Danzo increased Sasuke's anger and he wasn't going to let them get in the way of revenge. His goal changed once after the summit. Seeing Itachi again made him reconsider things. So he questioned the Hokage to get a better understanding. What is a clan? What is a village? What is a shinobi? Why would Itachi sacrifice our clan to protect Konoha as it's loyal shinobi? He learned how in an era of constant war his clan formed Konoha to create peace. He decided that rather than destroy the village for mistreating them, he would ensure what they strove for wouldn't go to waste. What changed after that was the method he used. Initially he wanted to handle things alone through his revolution plan. Til Naruto convinced him to work with allies.

😢No me

The warring ninja villages of merceneries for hire who kill each other on a regular basis have no right to punish Sasuke whose crimes are far less. Only dead Akatsuki members, Team 7, Kurama, Orochimaru & Taka knew about his revolution plan & previously wanting to destroy Konoha. If the ninja system was ended with everyone being held accountable for their actions then sure, but that would mean punishing Raikage, Tsuchikage & Gaara to. Opinions are divided about Sasuke because he didn't stay buddies with Naruto and automatically decide to protect the village that discriminated his clan leading to their genocide after learning his manipulated brother wanted to.

sakura? that's useless piece of shit who wanted to kill sasuke? nah she desvered to die. Sasuke should have ended up with karin. At least she was loyal and didn't wanted to kill him just because he went berserk.

She also wanted him to return to the village. Had Naruto stayed she wouldn't have made the confession.

@@sasukeiseasilythebestchara2954 And what's the big deal about not being in the village? What's the great suffering or burden about going to meet the Raikage to ask him to spare Sasuke? If what made her give that ridiculous fake confession was so he could return to the village on this context, this only makes it even worse.

@@ericLpereira1989He's constantly putting himself in danger by traveling around with the Akatsuki going after him.

@@sasukeiseasilythebestchara2954 Out of all the reasons for lying to Naruto in believing the girl he loved was in love with him as well...if that reason was for him to return to the village, the same guy that almost single handedly had just defeated the Akatsuki member wich basically the entire Konoha couldn't, all while being accompanied by Yamato and perhaps one of the two strongest jounin in the village....than holly shit. It would be even worse.

Literal plot armor lol

Once the Susano’o and rinnegan showed up the show stopped being about ninjas and more about eye powers

Take a shot every time he says arc 🤣
