Naruto Shippuden 289 starts today’s episode with Ameyuri Ringo going on a rampage as she tracks everyone she can down just to have them killed. Omoi joins the action as one of his friends die during their fight with Ameyuri. We got through an intense fight in which Omoi uses his skills in order to defeat Ameyuri Ringo.

Naruto Shippuden 289 starts of as Ameyuri goes around the trees killing as many people as she can, she’s trying to find a opponent which she can fight properly. Kakashi and Guy receive a report where Yurui is asking for assistance. Both Kakashi and Guy go towards them to help.

Ameyuri uses her Lightning Style in order to kick as much ass as she can. She then uses her Lightning Style: Thunder Gate which gets Yurui in an attack from Ameyuri. IT also ruins the whole landscape in which they’re all at. We see Omoi and Nurui see Yurui’s death. Nurui then takes over, he makes up a plan for them to go one way, meaning that they should all try and escape until reinforcements arrive.

Omoi proposes that they should fight, he’s reminded by Yurui’s death. Nurui states that compared to Ameyuri Ringo, they are nothing but ant. They all need to make a diversion in order for them to escape. Ameyuri somewhere else is reminded that she left a few men back which she should go and take back.

Kakashi and Guy arrive at the site where they notice that Ameyuri has done such great damage that they’ve got to help who ever is left because there is no other way to defeat her but follow. Kakashi notices that she’s gone north.

Omoi keeps on thinking that what Nurui is doing is wrong, they should at fight for their sake to live. Nurui state that they should keep on moving forward, they all follow. He then starts to put some paper bombs which are clearly visible by the person who sees it. He then states that they are to make it look like they put up a fight.

Omoi looks at the trap, they are setup so that it shows exactly the way they’re going. Ameyuri keeps on going, she notices the traps and quickly gets pissed, using her Lightning Style to get rid of the traps in front of her.

Omoi and the others keep on going while Ameyuri keeps following them. Omoi finds out from Kayui, that Ameyuri had died young from an incurable disease, she never lost her prey and thus now she’s back to get all of them. Nurui shuts them up.

Omoi sees that Ameyuri is here, she gets her first victim, she keeps on getting closer when Omoi proposes that they should fight, he backs off and stops, he then heads back towards Ameyuri. Omoi calls Nurui a coward for sacrificing his team mates while just backing off while they should have been able to fight.

Kakashi and Guy keep on getting closer, Kakashi states that this way there are no other shinobi’s therefore there might be no reinforcements. Ameyuri and Omoi clash, they both start to fight, shes distracted by a shadow clone, she uses her jutsu which gets Omoi, he survives. Omoi remembers a memory from the past with Bee.

Omoi goes on for the attack, he goes, he makes two clones which miss the strike as Ameyuri moves up, but they were all decoy as Omoi appears from the top, she uses her lightning which gets Omoi. Nurui and Kayui appear, they distract Ameyuri, making her follow her. They are both hit by her Lightning Style.

Nurui is seen by Omoi, they talk saying that he’s stupid, they both apologize, Nurui says that everything’s ruined. Ameyuri appears, Omoi moves on while Ameyuri follows. Kakashi and Guy appear, they are told that Nurui and Omoi are both in trouble. Omoi reaches an opening. Ameyuri gets a hit on Omoi. Kakashi and Guy keep on going quickly.

Omoi goes on about Nurui and Yurui, how she had killed both of them while they’re still alive, he gets pissed and thus Ameyuri gets serious for a second. He spits out his lollipop then tells Ameyuri to bring out her strongest jutsu, the lollipop falls and Omoi goes for the attack, Ameyuri also brings out her jutsu, Lightning Style: Thunder Gate.

This starts to break the ground beneath them, in surprise, Ameyuri is shocked at this point,  she gets stuck by whats below, a sand pit which drags her down. Omoi is also trapped, he remembers the moment with Nurui where he tells him about the sand pit.

Kakashi and Guy appear with Sai, he’s pulled up from the pit, Ameyuri Ringo says that she wont be going down with him. Omoi gives her a lollipop, in return she gives her swords to him. Above the sky, Nurui says that he’s now a hero. Guy and Kakashi get a message that both Bee and Naruto could not be kept in the place and thus have escaped. Naruto Shippuden 289 ends here.

That was a better episode than what we got last week, we got to see how Omoi fights, plus Naruto and Bee are getting much closer to the battlefield which is better for us. However during next week’s Naruto Shippuden 290, we may see a filler to to which we see a different story completely. Hopefully it’s a good story.
