Naruto's Growth
So Kisame has trapped Neji, Tenten, and Gai within water barriers for
the time and is now holding off Gai, so the two can fight without any
interruptions. Samehada returns to its rightful owner because no one
else can wield it, which would explain why Gai was cut when he was
holding it. Gai pulls out his nunchaku, which, according to the others,
means that he must be fighting a powerful enemy. Pakkun can only watch
from the sidelines as Kisame charges towards Gai.
Three
Kage Bunshins surround Naruto, but he doesn’t falter. He throws a kunai
that hits each one, but they dissolve into a large number of crows.
They circle in the sky and some come together to reform another Kage
Bunshin of Itachi, but how? Naruto didn’t look into Itachi’s eyes, so
how could a genjutsu have been cast? It turns out that Itachi doesn’t
need to use just his eyes and can cast a genjutsu simply by pointing a
finger at his opponent. After all, Itachi did point at Naruto when he
and the others ran into him. But never fear. Itachi won’t, or actually,
can’t use the Mangekyou Sharingan now, but the reasons for it are not
explained.
Naruto thinks back to his training with Jiraiya and
how he had asked the Sannin to teach him how to cast genjutsu. Well,
first off, Jiraiya is going to show him how to dispel them, but Naruto
only wants to learn how to cast them, not release them. Jiraiya
explains that genjutsu are techniques that control the chakra flow of
your opponent’s mind and give the user control over their five senses.
They require a lot of intelligence, so it’s not hard to see that
Naruto’s clueless during this explanation. Naruto was never a genjutsu
user to begin with. Jiraiya goes on to talk about certain opponents,
such as Uchiha Itachi, whose genjutsu can take down even the strongest
shinobi around, just like Kakashi. He then explains that when one is
caught in a genjutsu, they have to stop their chakra flow. Thanks to
Naruto’s training, he’s able to focus the chakra to his feet (he and
Jiraiya are currently standing on water) and can stand on water without
even thinking about it. The instant Naruto stops the flow of chakra in
his feet, he sinks. As soon as the flow is stopped, one must break the
hold by redirecting their chakra.
Naruto prepares to do the same now.
On
the sidelines of Gai’s battle, Tenten slowly reaches her limit of how
much breath she can hold. Kisame uses Suiton: Suikoudan no Jutsu (Water
Style: Water Shark Missile) and the shark created soon detonates right
before Gai, but he’s fine. Once again, it seems that Gai is about to
remember just who he’s fighting, but Kisame doesn’t give a chance to
say much this time. Gai receives a hard punch that sends him to the
bottom of the water and Kisame follows up with Suiton, Goshoku-zame
(Water Style, Five Man-Eating Sharks) to send five chakra created
sharks after Gai. He’s attacked on all sides and can barely hold his
own, so he does the inevitable: he opens all of the gates up to the
Sixth Gate, the View Gate. Using Byakugan, Neji begins searching for a
weak spot. When it appears that he’s found one, he uses Hakke Rokujuu
Yonshou (Eight Trigrams, Sixty-Four Palms) and destroys not only the
water barriers, but the clones of Kisame. The battle between Gai and
Kisame can now continue.
At the same time, Naruto stops the flow of chakra and the crows disintegrate. Itachi just stares down at Naruto.
