10 Second Anime - Naruto Shippuuden - Episode 356

Naruto Shippuuden - Episode 356

Kakashi Shippuuden continues. Monster Movie Orochimaru ends. Kinoe becomes Tenzo.

That final form Orochimaru was just a mindless beast, but it still gets killed with lightning, which is how Sasuke did it when Orochimaru finally tried to claim his body. But Kinoe is having doubts about his mission, after Kakashi saves his life. Kakashi psy-ops for the win! Leaving an incapacitated Kakashi with his eye, but fooling his partner, Kinoe chooses a smart way out of his dilemma, leaving everyone alive.

Danzo isn't too happy receiving a fake sharingan made of wood, and puts Kinoe in Root's version of time out, putting a curse mark on him for reeducation. Kakashi immediately tells the Third Hokage about what's going on with the wood-style ANBU agent, and he tags along with his ANBU colleague Yugao to deliver a summons to Danzo. Kakashi is impatient, for good reason, and infiltrates Root and frees Kinoe, but gets surrounded at the exit.

But we see why the Third Hokage is still the better ninja than Danzo in forcing a Mexican standoff with his own ANBU forces, defusing the Kakashi infiltration, without acknowledging Root's mission for his eye to save Danzo's face, and finally using the strategic importance of the 9-tails jinchuuriki to take Kinoe away from Root. Just a quick mental exercise for the Professor. Danzo did get to leave Root's curse mark on Kinoe to make sure Root's classified info stays classified. That might be something to remember for later on.

At regular ANBU headquarters, Kinoe takes on his former name Tenzo, and we have the full story on how the man known to Naruto as Yamato came to join Kakashi in his old ANBU days. Hey, I actually used the title character's name again! Next up, Kakashi Shippuuden rolls on, with deeper voices, to tell the backstory of Itachi Uchiha in ANBU. Kakashi sure did get around before he became Naruto's teacher.
