10 Second Anime - Naruto Shippuuden - Episode 371

Naruto Shippuuden - Episode 371



Naruto continues to battle Madara, but his chakra reserve also dwindles from protecting the ninja army. Kakashi and Obito argue over the Dream World. The 10-Tails begins another transformation.

Heh.

Hey, there's that Naruto kid I keep hearing good things about. It's only his name on the show...

Madara senses Hashirama's chakra. Do you think he starts stalling here just to make sure he gets to play with Hashirama a little bit before he completes his Infinite Tsukuyome plan?

Hmm.

The big reveal in this episode is that Obito knows Kakashi didn't kill Rin on purpose, although he had already refused her request to do so. Rin knew she had the 3-Tails implanted in her by the Hidden Stone ninjas, and threw herself in the path of Kakashi's strike to make sure the beast did not have a chance to enter their own village.

Obito knew all this, and never blamed Kakashi for it, but cursed their whole Shinobi World for putting his friends in that situation. There is nothing in that real world to fill the hole in his heart for Rin and the old Kakashi. That's why he wants to create this dream world with Madara.

Kakashi argues that his friends may be gone, but they never left his heart. This is the same sentiment Naruto shares with Madara during his battle. His comrades are still with him, in his heart.

A question arises in why Obito wants to convince Kakashi and Naruto to join their plan. Why does he need their approval so much? Madara has his eyes on the prize, but Obito keeps wanting to talk. There is something there that either Kakashi or Naruto can use to turn Obito back to their side. There is still something Obito wants in this world, and perhaps Naruto's talent of making friends with anyone will help him find what that is.

We're back to Naruto Shippuuden proper, and Madara is going to be giddy with the prospect of Hashirama entering the battlefield. Legends are already being made in this war, so why not have the Konoha legends join the party? I can't wait to see Minato fight alongside his son. It's going to be epic.
