Naruto Shippuden: Set 14

Description

These episodes conclude the “Sennin Training”
and “Konoha’s Destruction” arcs of Naruto Shippuden, bringing the attack of
the Pain Ninja to a suitably dramatic conclusion. Much of the action takes
place in flashbacks and altered states of consciousness and/or reality. Naruto
defeats the Sixth Pain in a duel that threatens to loose the terrible nine-
tailed fox demon imprisoned in his body. His father, whom he never knew, helps
him preserve the seal. Naruto uses one of the chakra antennae to locate the
real Pain, Nagato, and confront him. In a series of prolonged flashbacks,
Nagato fills in the story of how he, Yahiko, and Konan survived as war orphans
until Jiraiya-sensei cared for them. Naruto counters with an account of his
own alienated childhood. Their struggle evolves into a clash between Nagato’s
rejection of the possibility of peace in the Ninja world and Naruto’s
unshakable belief in Jiraiya’s mission to end hatred and create an era of
understanding. Faith and honor triumph over wrath, and Nagato undoes much of
the destruction he wreaked on the Hidden Leaf Village and its inhabitants in
his final act. The conclusion of this storyline packs a powerful emotional
punch. The “Konoha’s Legacy” arc, a mixture of material from Masashi
Kishimoto’s manga and original anime content which begins with episode 176,
focuses on how Naruto influenced the people around him, beginning with Iruka-
sensei and Kakashi-sensei in the original Naruto series. Although Pain was
defeated, Madara, the masked leader of the evil Akatsuki, continues to plot
against the Hidden Leaf, and Sasuke is pursuing his own potentially deadly
agenda. The two-part flashback comedy-adventure “Yondaime Hokage’s Legacy”
(episodes 170 to 171) originally aired as a one-hour special in Japan. (Rated
