Naruto Shippuden 353 begins with a two episode special where by Kakashi is seen to enter Iburi Clan’s hideout to which both Kakashi and Yamato are revealed to be on the same side. Yukimi interferes still thinking that Yamato is Tenzo, her younger brother, to which she helps them out as well as goes to the Leaf Market to have and experience a day out. Orochimaru gets closer and closer, while Yamato remembers Orochimaru’s experiments and how his friend while he was being tested had cracked the human sized test tube container and dies. 

Naruto Shippuden 353 begins as Kakashi enters the hideout to which he had no idea would be there. Smoke quickly fills and Kakashi is quickly attacked, he’s asked of who he is when he uses his Chidori to escape from an attack. He’s attacked once more but escapes. He jumps up and notices that it’s no ordinary jutsu.

Out of nowhere Gotta gets within Kakashi’s body by turning himself into smoke and uses a jutsu by which he oxidises all the cells within Kakashi’s body, this would feel like fire within Kakashi as all his cells are using the oxygen within his body, it is hell for him at this point.

Yamato appears and covers him and Gotta in his wood by which he mentions that he’s needed for questioning of what he’s doing there. Gotta backs off and lets the torture begin as Yamato begins to ask him the fundamental questions like why he’s there and such. The Iburi Clan leave for the questioning to happen, once they leave Yamato talks to Kakashi normally as though they’re on the same side.

To which he mentions that Danzo sent him to capture Orochimaru and not let him leave as Orochimaru is an asset to the Leaf and doesn’t want anyone else to have him. They talk when Gotta interrupts mentioning that they were both working together. They are surrounded by which Yukimi remembers something and quickly protects them and takes them away from there using her own smoke.

Gotta thinks that she’s betraying Orochimaru. They seem to be heading towards a way out. Yukimi mentions that there is something she wants to see that is outside. She takes Yamato quickly leaving Kakashi behind. At the same time Gotta also begins to follow Kakashi.

Yukimi has control of Yamato’s body by which she uses to go on ahead and go to the market. Yamato remembers a girl who also was with him before in the test tube. Gotta appears begins Kakashi and begin their fight, it’s a well animated and awesome fight. Kakashi is pushed outside by which Gotta who hates the wind outside is forced out.

Yukimi reaches the market and gets back into her normal form. They begin to do a lot of things like talk about different things like new cloths and winning an eating competition. Yamato begins to remember more of that girl. Kakashi and Gotta resume their fight to which Gotta is forced to go into his smoke mode when a large gust of wind appears the smoke he’s a part of breaks and it seems the fight finished.

He mentions that Yukimi is the only one who can help Orochimaru, and says a few other things that aren’t revealed. Yukimi and Yamato talk as she mentions that she had fun with him today. Yamato remembers when he was in the test tube and experimented on, he had someone else with him there who kept him alive, however when she went he had no one.

Kakashi appears and tells Yukimi that she must go back to the village, then tells Yamato that something has happened and that Orochimaru is looking after her. Yamato makes his mind up and quickly gets Yukimi  and runs to which Kakashi follows. We see Orochimaru reach the hideout with a big grin. Yamato and Yukimi keep running.

A really good starter episode of the two special episodes today, it’s now time to write up the second one. A good chapter overall and nice to see Yamato’s past also being revealed with Kakashi there too. Naruto Shippuden 354 is also pretty good!
