Naruto Shippuuden - Episode 340

We're back to Naruto Shippuuden. The cancelling of the Reanimation Jutsu changes the battlefield. Madara continues to troll. And the other Madara moves on to the next phase.

Itachi has cancelled the Reanimation Jutsu, and we see the effects on the battlefield. All those currently fighting and the sealed ones burst into white light, their souls leap into the sky, and the dead body they were inhabiting falls to the ground. They all have a chance to say some kind of goodbye before they leave, and we get call backs to the filler episodes we had during the summer.

Madara is not done yet. As he tries to get one final attack in before he leaves, Tsunade blocks him. She uses up all her healing ability, but thinks it's finally over. Eh, not so much. Madara resumes his reanimated form and throws a Susano'o sword at her. The Kages know they can't make it in time, but Dan, her late fiancé, shows up just in time to block the attack before his soul also leaves. They have a nice moment, and she receives a bit of chakra before Dan disappears.

Madara stands up, fully reanimated, and says there's a reason some jutsu are forbidden, such as never reanimating someone who knows the reanimation jutsu. Because he can cast it on himself in that time the jutsu was undone, but before the soul leaves, and make himself immortal with unlimited chakra. Well, that's no good. He's got his pride, though, and he says the legendary Perfect Susano'o is supposed to be seen by only the dead, so he's a little conflicted with letting the kages live, but he's also bored and wants to join the battle with Naruto. What a guy. The Stone chief won't let him leave just yet.

Meanwhile, the other Madara sees his reanimated Jinchuuriki take off, and realizes he can't absorb the 9-tail and 8-tail beasts by himself. Got to go with Plan B. He's got a bit of those beasts' chakra saved up from previous encounters, and thinks that should be good enough to recreate the 10-tailed beast. Well, we'll see how that goes. The Madaras have softened up the ninja army, so it's time to move on the next part of their plan. Someone might know a way of stopping this, and Sasuke thinks it's Orochimaru. What? He's dead, right? Shows how much you know about Orochimaru.
