Today’s Naruto 574 chapter has really built up some much-needed tension between Sasuke’s group. Karin, captured, hides subspecies lock picking equipment within Sasuke’s photo. While Juugo and Suigetsu try to find Sasuke within Orochimaru’s base, they stumble upon some hidden scrolls which could give them an advantage. While Sasuke is found by Zetsu, he finds out that Tobi has waged a war.

We start this fantastic episode with Karin locked up within one of the hidden bases, where she is held as a prisoner. She acts as though she has she hasn’t got a care in the world, as though she only cares for Sasuke. But in fact as she stomps, grabs and smashes Sasuke’s image, she tries to open one of the slits behind the image itself, where you’ll find lock picking equipment for her to escape.

The Konoha pupils who have her under arrest wonder is she’s okay since she’s going all crazy over just one image. They wouldn’t want to take the image away from her as she might act even more violently, they thought. At this moment she breaks open the image and finds what she’s looking for.

At another place, Suigetsu and Juugo find out that there is war going on. Suigetsu suggests they should look for Sasuke before being involved in the war. Suigestu states that he’s the only normal guy within Hebi or Taka, while Juugo suggests that Suigetsu’s there to get in the way between Sasuke and Karin.

Juugo gets angry and transforms into a beast form to kill Suigetsu. Juugo misses and hits a thick wall behind Suigetsu. The wall breaks and a hole appears. Suigetsu seems as though he has made a discovery. He see’s through the wall and finds out that this is Orochimaru’s Hidden Room.

Suigetsu moves into the room, and discovers something unbelievable, “Orochimaru even considered something like this!?” says Suigetsu as he sees one of the scrolls. Suigetsu forgives and forgets about the punch, as he finds a “good present for Sasuke”.

We move onto the field where Sasuke is walking to find the battlefield where Tobi and Naruto are located. One of Zetsu’s Clone ask’s why Sasuke is here. Sasuke has passed through two cities which were completely empty. At this point, Sasuke is completely unaware that Tobi has waged a war.

A clone suggests to himself if the Original Zetsu could have been killed by Sasuke, which could certainly be true. At this point, out of pure anger from the Zetsu Clones, they run towards Sasuke, he wants to use one of his most powerful technique to obtain certain amount of feedback, since Naruto also uses Clones to attack, he wants to replicate this now.

Sasuke opens his Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan which allows him to bring forward Itachi’s Susanoo. This then allows him to use Amaterasu to burn each and every Zetsu. Sasuke purposely doesn’t attack one of the Zetsu, so he could use his Sharingan to manipulate and see his memories. He finds out that Tobi has waged a war, Killer Bee and Naruto have to be captured and Naruto’s peers are gathering to the place where he is.

Sasuke rhetorically asks “Did you forget it Naruto, What true Strength is…?”, and while he opens his sword, he slices the head of the Zetsu. “I will go to that place as well, in order to kill you!” says Sasuke towards Naruto.

Sasuke notices that he is getting more and more accustomed to the eyes of his brother. Sasuke remembers the time when Itachi had demanded Sasuke to have the same eyes as him, then he could fight him. Sasuke then reminisces about his brother Itachi. Sasuke then sheathes his sword and moves on.

This chapter is somewhat special, as it explains the long forgotten bits which left of a couple of chapters ago. From this point, it’s going to start getting a lot more interesting as the chance of a meeting approaches between Naruto and Sasuke! Cant wait for Naruto 575 next week! Hell Yeah!
