Why I Love The Five Kage Summit Arc

The Five Kage Summit Arc is not well liked by Naruto fans. A lot of people have complains about the 5 Kage Summit, but this is an amazing arc. It shows Sasuke slipping further into darkness and it presents the 5 kage for the first time together. We see great fights such as Sasuke vs Raikage, Sasuke vs Danzo, and Sasuke vs the 5 Kage.
There are a couple of disappointing such as the Kakashi vs Sasuke fight, but overall this is a great arc. Sasuke going mad and stabbing Karin, developing his Mangekyou Sharingan and Susanoo is great.

What's your favorite moment from the Five Kage Summit Arc?

[@BroBright]

Sasuke vs 5 kage

[@notevencalm]

1. Sasuke almost getting killed. 2. Karin getting stabbed. 3. Raikage not listening to Naruto

[@NewtBannner]

This is honestly news to me that people don’t like this arc, I love this arc

[@Shark-hn4mv]

During the time of the arc and its conclusion everyone loved it and was hyped. It was only after the "fell off after Pain Arc" taking point that sprouted during the War Arc did everyone suddenly start ignoring the Kage Summit that was heavily enjoyed because it didn't fit what they had to parrot. Too many clown in this community that just repeat what's popular or "cool" to say. Can't respect these buffoons.

[@lordkronos5470]

For real. 😅

[@GianniLeonhart]

Only Sauce fans like it because they truly believe he won and didn't got his ass beaten by 3 out of 5 kages The emo kid died 3 times there but plot armour saved him

[@rezhaadriantanuharja3389]

I don’t like the War Arc in general so that includes this arc

[@vVvFrankie]

They don’t, that’s cap, people LOVE the 5 Kage arc, dyingknight just wanted a reason to make a video on this arc I’m sure lmaoooo

[@justthefacts6902]

This was peak shippuden for so many reasons. The biggest reason the arc is so impactful is due to the truth of itachi getting revealed. Obito’s speech to Naruto about sasukes ninja way still gives me goosebumps to this day. All while sasuke is literally wreaking havoc at the summit. A good hearted kid turned into a unrecognizable monster because the place he called home was responsible for the death of his family. It’s this character development that takes sasukes character from great, to legendary. Kishimoto created such a masterpiece with him.

[@hobbyhorse5848]

I love the summit because it kind of exposed how hypocritical everyone in the world is. Sasuke is an irredeemable criminal because he wants to kill the shitty old man responsible for his families genocide? Well everyone treats Gaara like he’s an exemplary moral figure despite him having been a literal serial killer who killed hundreds more people than Sasuke ever did and all his crimes are wiped away because he’s a Kage. The Raikage is furious that Sasuke kidnapped his brother as a means to an end but is totally fine with kidnapping peoples toddler aged children and ripping their eyes out.

[@LoneWolf-xe6ye]

Good point. I didn't think about that

[@phantomslay5612]

Yeah. Guess things are a bigger problem when they arrive at your doorstep, eh? Sasuke's whole clan was murdered, innocent families and children included and for what? Some temporary peace? I just find it funny how almost no one wonders if maybe this whole mess was caused because of the village's hypocrisy and unwillingness to acknowledge the mistakes it made. Even Itachi admitted that he regretted his choice and wished he could've done things different. He laments that he wasn't brave enough to tell his brother the truth. And yet, Danzo just acts like it's some righteous goal while flaunting his special arm embedded with the stolen eyes of the clan he had killed.

[@Raptorcloak]

One aspect of that is how not even Naruto wasn't safe from that thinking since, while the story itself doesn't acknowledge it, his expecting the Raikage to forgive Sasuke for seemingly kidnapping Killer B partly comes off as self-centered in forgetting how bad he wanted to kill Pain to avenge Jiraiya. For years I disliked that scene but seeing your point, it makes more sense more than ever.

[@pascalsimioli6777]

That's an ad hoc rationalization of bad writing, it isn't the intended message of the arc. You literally like the arc because you inject something of yours into it.

[@justinarzola4584]

It shows how the villages treated everyone not in power as lower.

[@Days-ru8jh]

I personally loved the arc because it felt like the naruto world was actually alive. Like it wasn’t just naruto and the leaf now. Now it’s the whole world and it all feels just so much better.

[@Q2Cockatiel]

Yes! And that's was amazing! Sadly from now on, world building was on a descending. And Boruto is making it stupidly worse.

[@ahentargs]

And you just have to admit that the bodyguards of the kages dashing out to protect their masters just looks sooooooo badass

[@Atticus-Catnipp]

It's also where Sasuke was at his best. I would have liked to see Jugo's and Suigetsu's reaction to him sacrificing Karin. Would they have attacked him?

[@phantomslay5612]

I honestly loved seeing Sasuke go down a dark path like this. And hey, I wanted Danzo dead just as much as him.

[@JLM155]

Na sasuke suck for being in that situation

[@notevencalm]

Nope they wouldn't

[@theonedux157]

Suigetsu would probably just run away and Jugo would remain loyal to Sasuke until Sasuke eventually kills him, since Sasuke wants to sever all bonds.

[@Human_01]

Yeah, it is true... If Karin croaked, they would've just lost their "healer"... That's it. 😐🙃~need get replacement [healer] medicine 💊✨

[@vconti3]

Anytime sasuke takes center stage in an arc, his fans just eat it up. We only got to see a truely bloodthirsty sasuke a handful of times in the whole series so seeing Sasuke just storm the summit, killing samurai easily, and facing kages with little to no fear It’s just peak for a Sasuke fan in my opinion

[@newlife6265]

And he’s just more entertaining to watch then Naruto. Remember how boring og Naruto show was when sasuke left. And even in shippuden his fights are just far more interesting and exciting

[@thesagerinnegan5898]

[@germanpatis9136]

agreed.Sasuke's arc and character development here was packed with emotions and you can really feel and understand his pain to the point where you even started to root for him,even if he was on a vengeful war path of destruction.. then the war arc started and he was just kind of left in the background.his anger faded too quickly and even his last fight with Naruto was just unimpactful... i feel like we got robbed of the true final delve to darkness in Sasuke's character arc

[@justinarzola4584]

I like how the Five Kage summit arc was focused more on drama than action and the arc had the characters( besides naruto) all wanting to kill sasuke instead of rescue him like other arcs,the anime version was very boring however.

I liked the anime version I found it pretty engaging ngl.

[@meow-chan9062]

I like it because it was Sasuke best arc. He revolted against the shinobi world that exploited literally all shinobis including the Uchihas. He spat on the kages went in to fight and was leading the fight until Ohnoki stepped in which i dont blame him because Sasuke hadnt matured completely yet. Sasuke did the thing that soo many shinobis in this world want to do-escape / upend the way the world works. Sasuke in this arc is not just a rogue nin but a SYMBOL of all the grudges the Kage system has caused for 3-4 generations of shinobi.

[@PrinceLobo-es8kl]

I loved it , perfectly captured sasuke's badassery. People hated it basically cause it focuses more on sasuke than naruto

[@Naruto735]

I loved this arc. Never knew people thought it was boring. But having only read it, seeing that maybe it's because of the anime, that makes sense

[@trevordavidjones]

Bro Five Kage Summit is PEAK Naruto!!! Who doesn’t like this arc!?? Great video 😆😆😆!!!

[@XxVampic_ArtzxX]

Naruto’s breakdown is so painful. It’s him realizing all his friends and comrades have turned against his decision, and that entire world have wants Sasuke dead. It’s him realizing how low Sasuke’s stooped and the darkness he’s going through. It’s Naruto realizing Sasuke might actually die.

[@marko1263]

Good catch about Sasuke's perception of Kakashi as someone who's abusing his clan's power by using it for the Leaf village. Especially after seeing Danzo's right arm full of stolen sharingan.

[@israelmatulimubalama1496]

For me peak naruto shippuden is between the start of the itachi pursuit arc till the end of the 5 kage summit. We had only great figths, world building, amazing character arcs in that period for naruto, sasuke, jiraya, itachi and pain but even for minor interesting characters like deidara, danzo, the kages, kisame, bee, taka members who shine aswell. The start of the war was slow but it became peak again with madara's introduction up until juubidara vs naruto and sasuke but it get ruined with kaguya and black zestu.

[@youngflyboy7039]

True say, pain assault was hard aswell tho and war arc had some of the greatest moments in the show but like u said it was a bit slow and it became sloppy towards the end

[@Light17784]

Sasuke is my FAVOURITE character of all time. The only reason why I watch Naruto.

[@cedialive2759]

I speak with mixed feelings about the Five Kage Summit. Sasuke had every right to go after the folks who ordered his big brother to wipe out his entire clan. And I get what's going on here; he just found out that Itachi was protecting him the whole time, and Danzo (Hiruzen's right-hand man) was the guy who caused the Uchiha Clan Massacre to happen in the first place by taking Shisui's eye. He's obviously taking this personally! Plus, Sasuke vs Danzo was one of the best technical fights in the anime and manga. But this was also the start of Sasuke's heel face turn when he pierced straight through Karin with a Chidori Sharp Spear just to get to Danzo. And then he called her a burden for being taken hostage. Karin should've smacked him across the face for that. XD

[@007TheLife]

The only thing I didn’t like about this arc was Naruto’s behavior. All the simping he did for Sasuke was sickening.

[@Gumbino]

I blame the studio for the loss of fans after the pain arc, the fillers after the pain arc even made me stop watching for a while and read the manga, I came back during the war arc so I actually had to go back to see this arc, which I’m sure not a lot of people did

[@ayhamahmad2277]

And they are the reason on why sakura was hated because of the anime especially fillers she is completely terrible in the anime but in the manga she is not bad kishimoto can write a female characters like tusnade and choryi and kushisna he give sakura her best arc and fight but because of hate because of the anime the editor probably told him to change it to hinata because of her being pupuler because of fillers sakura obissan with sasuke what killed her she was supposed to end with Naruto just look she and Naruto get more screen time than Naruto and hinata and the studio can't be trusted with anything just look at the stupid the last movie kishimoto wasn't involved and tha movie was bad

The arc is not bad, it just happens very quickly after pain's defeat. I would rather have shorter stories showing each village and the other konoha's teams, and a timeskip before the summit.

[@Mrballerize]

Exactly. Kishimoto could have finally put some focus on people like Shino, Neji and Lee; and showcase their abilities.

[@DilgesYigit]

At 3:00 and the next 40 seconds, you said Itachi is overhyped, talked about people hating Deidara fight with no reason being absolutely wrong and implied that Sasuke is the best character. I subscribed right after that. FAX

[@ActivateMysticMine]

Yo I didn’t know this arc was getting so much flak. I constantly go back and revisit it. It has what I consider multiple amazing fights. - Sasuke & Co v Raikage & Co - Sasuke v Gaara (not a fight per se but amazing still in terms of character insight) - Bee v Kisame - Sasuke v Danzo I know all these fights bar one include Sasuke but the awesome thing about them is that there’s still plenty of involvement and things to enjoy from other characters EVEN in the Danzo fight where it leans much more on sasuke.

[@HelmHammerhand1709]

Thank you. This arc deserves More love

[@CharcharoExplorer]

From what I understand you don't need hashirama cells for Izanagi. Danzo needed it to survive having so many Sharingan and to also be able to extend the time its active. But to use it for a few seconds didn't require the cells

[@sh.walker]

If this arc never existed there wouldnt be any worldbuilding in Naruto world at all lol

I love Kages Arc, introduce all Village, Kages, even the Shinobis uniforms for the first time, sensor Shinobis, other elite Jonins, the tension after all the were countries with war backgrounds, we all knew they were insane powerful ninjas we wanted to learn their skills, Sasuke was a beast facing all of them, for me it was even better than the Pain Arc

[@dinisbernardes4278]

psychopath sasuke is my favourite version of him

[@xinimaru7200]

Honestly, when I look at Sasuke in this arc, I see someone being driven nuts by betrayal after betrayal. The first betrayal being what Konoha did to his family, clan, and brother. That betrayal would have been painful enough, but another betrayal that happens in the Five Kage Summit was when Zetsu exposed his presence, forcing him to alter his plans. The final betrayal being when Sakura came to kill him despite claiming to want to defect. It was by this point Sasuke deemed he couldn't trust anyone anymore, even if they were his former teammates. This isn't "Lol, I'm edgy and evil!" and more "Everyone has betrayed me! And so, I will stand alone!" This part would drive him to go with the procedure to implant Itachi's eyes, and escape from Tobi when he deemed the time was right. Also, Sasuke left a pretty big impact overall. Danzo would be remembered for the snake he is....or rather...was, and his attack on the Five Kage pretty much shows that the Five Kage are not untouchable, that when facing an Uchiha's wrath, there is no place to run or hide. While he only killed Danzo, he just removed everyone's sense of safety, because in a single day, one man attacked the Leaders of the Five Great Ninja Villages, and survived. Susanoo's visage would be burned into the Five Kage's psyche. Not even Tobi's declaration of war could overshadow that.

[@Spaghettificati0nforu]

Best summary ever. Sasuke is my favorite naruto character next to Naruto and Kakashi and I think his fall into darkness and his radical view of what it should mean to be hokage was very well done

[@rafaelviegas6883]

I really like how Kishimoto introduce the kage and their jutsu even if we already know of Gaara and in the manga is really good in that pacing

[@RenaAnn-qf2wh]

Also, how the Mizukages jutsu also melts Susano, obviously not the complete one but it still brings more Kage level mystery.😮

[@RenaAnn-qf2wh]

Also, Naruto stands up for Sasuke for no reason. When his next mission is to most likely have to bury Sasuke. But those Cloud ninja wouldn't have taken that up with Danzo or Kakashi. I mean what tools he's only in the same squad. What a friend tho. He always does the right thing.

[@Sasukeis6-0againstNaruto]

11:08 The plan was to confront Danzo on the way back to Konoha as Karin said earlier. That's why Sasuke didn't attack when he saw him in the hallway. They infiltrated to identify him so Karin could track his chakra signature. Chapter 457 page 5.

[@MoonWerewolfAir]

The Five Kage Summit Arc is one of my favorite arcs besides the Pain Arc....why? Because it felt like there were worldwide consequences for Sasuke's actions, and had a lot of conflicting ideologies. It felt a lot more rooted in realism and I enjoyed it a lot. It allowed the Ninja World to feel far more fleshed out and like, you know...an actual world.

[@ericLpereira1989]

It's an Ok Arc. The Kages are interesting. Sasuke raiding the Summit is ok overall, with ups and downs. And the fight agaisnt Danzou is good. However, everything about Sakura on this arc sucks bad. Really bad. It was the worst moment of her character, by far (and that is quite something). Not only she went to lie and try to manipulate EVERY-ONE (Gary Oldman's voice) arround her, she also reached quite a level of stupidity far beyond the aceptable. Plus, demonstrated a annoying lack of resolve when she at last had her chance to kill Sasuke. Like, you know, even a person is unfit to kill another, there are alternatives besides freezing. She could try to deliver a non fatal punch or cut. She could have fought back when Sasuke grabbed her and went for her throat. Everything, absolutely everything about her in this arc works only in making her a worse character, consolidating her as perhaps the worse character in the series. It's also the arc that consolidated Sasuke as a completely looney irrational character, after making clear his goal to amaterasu every baby in Konoha for sins commited by less than 1% of the village population (all that while it's ok to let "Madara" live).

[@Sasukeis6-0againstNaruto]

He planned to kill Tobi for his involvement in the massacre. That's why he asked Itachi who his accomplice was. After learning the truth he wanted to use him for Biju power. Then to locate Danzo & obtain EMS. After killing Danzo he told him they weren't allies. First thing he did after recovering from the transplantation was kill Zetsu. As for the villagers. Uchiha were ordered to be wiped out. No mercy. As revenge he would do the same to them. Too cruel, but rational.

[@ericLpereira1989]

​@@Sasukeis6-0againstNaruto ​ When did he give any indication he had plans to kill Tobi anytime in the future? I read the chapters again with Itachi and he just asked him about his part and his intentions in the massacre. Not one line indicating that he searching any info before considering kill Tobi/Madara. There is no reason to believe that the killing of the Zetsus has anything to do with plans to kill Tobi, or anything besides to test his powers or because they were in his way. But if he indeed planned to kill Tobi, that would be indeed more coherent of him. But even still, if you see any rationality in thinking that some hundred or thousands innocent babies from konoha deserve to die because some dozen uchiha babies were killed by order of a few top administrators from the village decided to respond the coup that would put all the village at risk by killling including perhaps a bit more than a dozen uchiha babies, all that while 99,9% of the village didn't even know about this order, then we have completly different definitions of what rationality and emocionality is. Also, having only hatred for the babies his because of such an abominable and unforgivable sin that neither they nor their parents had any part, while having only love for Itachi, the main executioner, just because he did this for love for Sasuke is quite emocional, and not reasonable. Sasuke himself defends his position by saying something in the likes of "if anyone disagrees with me and think that I am acting emotinal, than I will kill everyone they ever cared about. So them they can understand a bit ofm y hatred". All that after saying that he values Itachi's life, the main executioner of the clan, more than the entire village. That's impossible to obtain a higher certificate of emotinality than that. There is no reason. Just the pure hatred of a brat who can't deal his emotions. Or can't deal with the "Uchiha Curse of Hatred" retcon that Tobirama explainded.

[@Sasukeis6-0againstNaruto]

@@ericLpereira1989 Chapter 385 page 3. The village treated Naruto like trash just for having Kurama so how do you think they treated the clan suspected to having summoned it? Uchiha were already oppressed for generations before the Kyuubi attack. Kept from any governing position despite being a founding clan, then faced further discrimination after. The problem was systemic. For example, theres a reason the Sand and Sound wanted to destroy Konoha rather than just overthrow the leaders. The citizens shared the same beliefs. They'd just replace them with like-minded people and the same problems would occur. Innocent kids will be raised to be the same. I'd prefer he only wanted to kill the elders & change the ninja system, but becoming so angry made sense. The "Curse of Hatred" isn't a retcon. Uchiha progress their greatest power from hatred. Consistently shown with Sasuke. It could be through positive emotion but given their line of work (especially in the warring states era) it was usually negative.

[@ericLpereira1989]

​@@Sasukeis6-0againstNaruto Dude, you don't have to mention any of the 200 pages that showed the village treating Naruto as trash. I"ve read the manga. Also... chapter 385 page 3 is Itachi and Sasuke talking, with 0 mention to Naruto or 9tails, much less any village treatment. Anyway, Naruto's treatment was in part because the villagers saw the Kyuubi himself in Naruto. The bijuu they didn't have suspicion of being responsible for the huge suffering caused to most of the village, but absolute certainty of it. Also, Naruto made things worse in his michiefs and pranking just to get attention. It's a different reason than suspiciousness towards Uchiha, and there is no information towards how many of the village indeed believed in their involvement. But for all it is demonstrated, Sasuke is never showened receiving any kind of bad treatment from any of the villages in his time in Konoha. Quite the contrary, he seems to receive only admiration and friendlyness in the academy (and if you think that that doesn't count because most of the people he met there were kids and had no idea of any Kurama rampage nor suspicion on Uchihas....well, just try to compare how things were to Naruto again. The hatred and mistrust from the adults were transmited to their kids when it came to him. At the least this should indicate that the bad feelings towards Naruto were bigger than those towards Uchiha). There is no dialogue indicating any known adult characters prior to the Uchiha massacre, like Kakashi and the oher Jounins, nor Hiruzen, mistreated any Uchiha based on suspicions. All we get is some talk from Tobi that suspicion grew in the village. That's no reason to take for granted neither that there wasn't a substantial number of citizens that weren't suspicious, nor that those who indeed were treated Uchihas like trash. And when it comes to times prior to Kurama's rampage, the evidence grows even shorter. No scene demonstrating any mistreatment towards Obito being a Uchiha. Nor repports from either Itachi, Fugaku or non Uchiha characters. Off course, I'm talking bout the manga. Don't know about the anime nor light novels and don't care nor see relevancy in then when it comes to the manga. The curse of hatred is new information presented without foreshadowing, changing previous views towards the story and it's characters (no one had oficial clues leading to believe that sharingan activation had, by itself, any effect in the minds of Sasuke's, Obito's or other Uchihas. Sasuke's behaviour after awakening them against Haku changed nothing. Nor when agaisnt Naruto. Nor Obito's. In fact, it would make more chance to say the contrary, not that I would believe it was. Sasuke sacrifices himself trying to save Naruto in the bridge. And when fighting Naruto he seems less psycopathic and with less killing intent than when he was just trying to kill him with a smile on his face, though it could be due to lesser influence from the curse mark as well, or due to simply considering Naruto as more of a friend). Therefore, I see it as something that fits the criteria for being considered "retcon". But whatever, it's just semantics.

[@Sasukeis6-0againstNaruto]

@@ericLpereira1989 I cited chapter 385 page 3 in response to you claiming he never planned to kill Tobi. Things were different for Naruto but being shunned by the same village your clan founded, served & protected for generations is worse. Uchiha also realized their oppression was in place long before the Kyuubi attack. They were relegated to the Police Force to keep them isolated & away from governing positions. Face to face Sasuke was left alone but you said why yourself. He wasn't misbehaving like Naruto. If everyone was fine with Uchiha they wouldn't have been relocated to the outskirts for years. Do you think everyone was oblivious or Konoha is a dictatorship where citizens are scared to speak against government officials? It's far more likely that many agreed with them. Sharingan doesn't change their minds. Their minds changing, typically from hatred, creates Sharingan. It's like a curse that their greatest power is gained from negativity.

The Kage would hide Naruto and Bee but the war would force them to come to the battlefield. 19:04 - The alliance was getting destroyed by Zetsu's transformation trick. They survived due to Sakura figuring it out & Naruto telling them apart due to his newly obtained Kyuubi chakra mode. Tobi also had Rinnegan & Gedo Mazo under his control. 29:28 - lol literally once.

2:02 i love how gaara was big chillin all relaxed in the back when zetsu came through

[@lelouch8041]

Usually they say it's not bad after the Pain arc, but I love the Kages arc.

[@elhood4060]

For me pre pain arc i hate seeing Naruto on screen When Sasuke is on screen its always hyped moment

[@nhc7772]

I’m so happy someone finally made a video about this arc. It’s one of the best in all of Naruto. There’s just something so cool about raiding the biggest gathering of ninja so far in the story.

[@3slicessenpai]

The Naruto vs Sasuke fight in Storm 3 at this time was so cool as well. It showed that, even if he was fighting a nearly-blind Sasuke, how Naruto's training had improved his abilities without having Sage Mode be required. Also, Naruto sadly charging his Rasengan against the sadistic Sasuke, in a somber moment, really added more oomph to the "Our roles could have been reversed" moment.

[@lara6489]

The one thing that would make this arc better would be if itachi also implanted Tsukuyomi in sasuke. Itachi knows Danzo would come after Sasuke eventually, so it makes sense for him to try and protect to Sasuke in the same way he did for Obito. Imagine if during the fight sasuke managed to cut off the bandages around Danzo's head revealing Shisui's sharingan, and then itachi's mangekyo suddenly forms an Sasuke's right eye putting Danzo under tsukuyomi. Danzo and Itachi could have a conversation beyond the grave, and then once Itachi attacks, Danzo could use Izanagi to escape from Tsukuyomi! Itachi isn't able to one shot Danzo like he probably planned to do, but maybe it would be enough for Sasuke to survive. In fact if you made this the way Sasuke escapes from Danzo's paralysis it would be a really nice omage to naruto being saved by Minato during the pain arc. @DygoKnight If you think this is cool it would be so awesome to see it in your rewriting naruto series!

[@morhjort]

I'm at 28:14 and just wanted to add my view on the genjutsu not being used thing. I think that genjutsu mostly feels like a sharingan ability for most of the series since it's pretty much only Uschihas that actually use genjutsu. The other few times that it's used then it's pretty damn awesome, i can only remember Kakashi using that awesome genjutsu on Sakura in the bell test, the flute genjutsu that was used later by Kabuto, the frog song and that Kurenai jutsu that got flipped on her by Itachi.

[@haithamalkilany3785]

wtf? this is one of my fav arcs and repeated it the most i recall

[@ezergilechimekazikura6855]

You know what I wanted from this reunion? Fight between Sasuke and Sakura, even if entirely in genjutsu, to cap on the implied perfect chakra control she has that was a setup back from the first arc, with them having exchange in taijutsu as well, and Sakura actually going for an incapacitating hit before Naruto pops between the two, bocking both her hand imbued in Kabuto-esque medical attack, Sasuke's sword, and Kakashi, who would try to jump Sasuke from behind, all the while split in three clones, staring each of them in the eye. That would be hell of a reunion.

[@Treasure-bl3cn]

sakura? that's useless piece of shit who wanted to kill sasuke? nah she desvered to die. Sasuke should have ended up with karin. At least she was loyal and didn't wanted to kill him just because he went berserk.

[@inesatt1313]

It was amazing, especially in the game also it gives high stakes and shows us that through and through

[@maximillianoorosco-randhaw9336]

You know it’s funny, I have rewatched this arc from time to time repeatedly as I would start somewhere in Naruto and just watch from there.

[@mrlofi333]

honestyl this arc has some of the best fights. we get the set up from the war which i personally love all the fights were cool and i find myself going back

[@musicme7757]

I'm still wondering why Sasuke didn't immediately copy the raikage's lightning armour after seeing him use it.

[@esihlesaunders6023]

I dont need to watch the video. Acknowledging the glory of the Five Kage Summit arc has earned my absolute respect

[@ramenhunter3603]

im surprised people didnt like this arc. i loved sasuke and this arc was like his villain era, and yet, he was just an angry emotional teen, broken, and consumed by his power. no one tried to understand him or talk him down either.

[@nuclearlemoncat]

Every time teacher leaves the class, i get on top of a table and say: "I declare the fourth great ninja war"(and this quote is from Kage Summit arc)

[@paulhernandez8697]

One ny favorite arcs tbh, Danzo vs Sasuke, Sasuke running up on the 5 Kage, seeing all the 5 Kage togther, hearing the back stories of the kages and there villages, Danzo getting exposed for stealing Shisuis eye, Naruto curving Sakura, everyone finding out the truth about Itachi, Obito drclaring the 4th great ninja war, Obito telling his plans finally about why the Akatsuki wants all the tail beasts. I think this is one of he top arcs imo.

[@Lootwurst]

People hating on this arc just dont appreciate how much thought and awesomeness there is.

[@FF-ch9nr]

five kage arc was a great way to highlight sasuke’s progression after the big naruto spotlight in pain arc. i see it as two sides of the same coin: pain arc conclusion shows naruto at his unflinching optimistic peak so far, while five kage arc shows the lowest depths of sasuke’s unflinching drive for vengeance. and both naruto and sasuke have to face an insane gauntlet of battles that test them to their limits at that point: naruto vs all six pain, sasuke vs five kage, samurai, danzo and team 7. the two arcs complement each other really well

[@atkcsc]

There were some good moments for sure, but I agree that the arc had too many plot points, it just felt less coherent than the Pain arc, in which Naruto's, Jiraya's, and Nagato's past all connected, and the connections were revealed bit by bit. I think that is why the Pain arc is my favourite, because of the great structure it had.

[@KeonVioletWilkins]

5 Kage is where I caught up to week to week releases and thought that the 5 kage summit was the closest Naruto had to a grander scale of world building ala Onepiece and was really excited for the future of the series... and then was disappointed heavily by the War Arc. So the 5KS always stood out to me as the last great arc.

[@santamaria0704]

Sasuke goin after everybody and attacking the kages is peak Naruto.

[@salvatoreocello]

6:26 love the multi head panels

[@PrinceLobo-es8kl]

Zetsu's betrayal snapped sasuke and he was not his usual cool self where he analysed everything.

[@lordkronos5470]

I love this arc and the world building. The only disappointing thing was that the samurai didn’t pay off. I thought they were going to be strong and cool but they were just cool.

[@NotDaveGahan]

The Five Kage summit arc is Kishimoto’s last attempt at realistic consequences and stakes in the story. It was all thrown to the trash with the War arc however…

[@Jay-sm1sp]

No Clickbait. This is the Dygo content I love. 🙏🏽

[@seo1335]

It's crazy, when I rewatched Naruto, I watched up until the 5 Kage Summit ended(mainly since I wanted to get to the point where Tobi declares war). I only didn't continue the rewatch after since I didn't want to watch the War Arc again. I did go to the ep where Madara bodied the Alliance tho and watched that. XD

[@RadBrad1986]

I agree with the same stuff you mentioned in this video. Keep up the good work! 😎👍 I'm subscribed.

[@kcuf_ad]

The Peak of Naruto, ngl

[@ZZZZZegarra]

This was peak Naruto, who on earth says that it wasn’t good?

[@noopurkumar8185]

Why do genuinely people defend Boruto. This quite random but 2 chapters in a manga don't make it "good". Not all of Dygo Knight's opinions are respectable but most of his opinions are valid and factual. I saw some people defending the "AMAZING WORLDWIDE KOTAMATSUKAMI" and Dygo Knight is just another Boruto hater. Ngl, touch grass and watch some good shounen. I would rather be happy you watch Rent a Girlfriend or say the Ishikki fight was peak. This opinion might be quite a*s but I just had to say it.

[@Human_01]

Boruto supporters have no standard. Even dried, stale bread is master chief delivery standard!🍞😢 lol

[@marzipancutter8144]

I don't get why People hate on Naruto taking flak for still trying to save Sasuke in this arc. Before the Pain fight, it would have been totally justified to call him out for being way too concerned about someone obviously too far gone. But now Naruto isn't just trying to naively get Sasuke back, he has gained the overarching goal of stopping the cycle of violence once and for all. It just so happens that this entire concept is right now completely focused and centered on Sasuke on a scale that is both more concentrated and at the same time at the largest scale to date. In essence, Sasuke now embodies the entire concept globally, not just to Naruto but to the entire world. That means to Naruto getting Sasukes ass saved is the most obvious and most important step to stop hate running rampant in the Ninja world. It might never be as concentrated as now ever again, so this might be his only chance to change the world. That is also why I believe he has the panic attack. It's not just his duty to the Leaf, the world or to Sasuke, he's seeing the whole cycle of violence unfold right in front of him and realizes that at this moment even thoug he knows all the consequences it's going to have, he's completely unable to do anything about it. I'm saying it here, if Sasuke died here at the five Kage arc, thematically there would have never been lasting peace in the Shinobi world. There may have still been a Shinobi Alliance, but it would have gone the Tsuchikages way off splitting up again into fighting each other after the threat has been resolved.

[@Sasukeis6-0againstNaruto]

Was fine before to. Like Iruka did for him, he wanted to save his fellow orphan, a person who risked his life to save his multiple times, from going down a dark path (Naruto hated the villagers and wanted revenge against them). He also felt he wasn't worthy of becoming Hokage, being in charge of protecting the entire village, if he couldn't save Sasuke.

[@marzipancutter8144]

​@@Sasukeis6-0againstNaruto Yeah I agree. I'm just saying it's probably easier to make a case that he should have abandoned Hebi Sasuke at Orochimarus place than the Taka Sasuke at the five Kage Summit. While he was less far gone at the time, he was already pretending to be just as bad as he truly ended up being. That being said, I'm not personally on the side of either argument, I'm just granting them legitimacy. To me, only if the Pain Arc hadn't happened but Sasuke still attacked the five Kage Summit, that is the only situation where I'd say Naruto would truly have been in the wrong to pursue Sasuke. because the Iruka and Hokage reasons alone aren't enough anymore to justify that.

[@MER17T]

5kage summit is just peak sasuke. seeing him go wild was sooo good

[@AnimeFusionUpdatesz]

This is literally my favourite Arc how can people hate it!!

[@danielclancy1132]

I always loved this arc too, watching Sasuke going hard out was sick!

[@ChilliDuck]

The thing I remember about this arc (in the anime) is that the Naruto centered scenes felt like a drag and the Sasuke parts were not that hyped up because it got interrupted by Naruto and Sakura depression too often. Shippuuden really did fuck up every chase scene lol

[@Darkwing4L]

Never heard a single soul say the Five Kage Summit was ass

[@marxist-leninist-protagonist]

You know what would have been really interesting? A full on fight between Kakashi and Sasuke. Sasuke runs out of chakra, Kakashi goes for the kill... but stops. Then SAKURA goes in fully intending to kill Sasuke. Only to be stopped by Naruto.

[@miathebarbie7544]

omg I loved the deidara and assume fight, im sooo confused I didn't even know these topics were even a thing? like I didn't know people hated that fight , cause I always hyped it up and literally had that fight on replay lol. but ya this is good to know , cause it news to me. also cursed mark sasuke was one of my favorites, I missed him being able to regenerate and use snakes and striking shadow snake , along with that hawk curse mode state in curse state two omg that shit was sick. its just super unfortunate because I wish they allowed him to retain that a little bit longer , I think they made itch remove it way to soon. that would have still worked I just wish it would've happened way later so we can see some more crazy fights with those abilities

[@GeeksOasis]

"Painful Decision" is the best episode in Shippuden. Change my mind.

[@om58499]

My problem with this is it started the sasuke personally change i mean before this sasuke taka vs killer bee when he care about his team but when this happen he suddenly dosen’t care about them at all. Could you talk about how sasuke goal keep changing after the summit arc

[@israelmatulimubalama1496]

It's pretty much explained before the summit when tobi reveal to taka that they fail to capture bee and it only happened because sasuke cuts one of the eight tail tentacule to save karin which is a scenario that terrefies sasuke where his bonds got in his way and made him weaker. That's why in the summit when he's mad, blinded by rage and hatred he became stronger, abandonned juugo and suigestu because they're slowing him by their weakness and by piercing karin he obtained his goal which was killing danzo. It was to show that when sasuke is surounding by bonds he's "weak" and not succeding like when he fougth gaara in the forest, itachi in the hotel, the nigth of the massacre and his fight bee with taka. But when he decide to sever those bonds he's stronger and succeed like against naruto at the final valley and here with danzo. It was his lowest point in the serie and it's one of sasuke's character theme to think "that loniless makes you strong" and one of his flaws. It was a great character developpement for sasuke and in the war there's another change caused by his meeting with itachi and the hokages. Of course it was sad to see him not caring for taka but it just made him more interesting at that moment and fortunaly in the war arc, sasuke asks them to forgive him and they became friends again.

[@justinarzola4584]

I think sasuke didn't care about karin in particular cause she didn't provide benefits other than being a healer,once she fullfilled that purpose he no longer cared.

[@Sasukeis6-0againstNaruto]

Simple. Seeing Danzo increased Sasuke's anger and he wasn't going to let them get in the way of revenge. His goal changed once after the summit. Seeing Itachi again made him reconsider things. So he questioned the Hokage to get a better understanding. What is a clan? What is a village? What is a shinobi? Why would Itachi sacrifice our clan to protect Konoha as it's loyal shinobi? He learned how in an era of constant war his clan formed Konoha to create peace. He decided that rather than destroy the village for mistreating them, he would ensure what they strove for wouldn't go to waste. What changed after that was the method he used. Initially he wanted to handle things alone through his revolution plan. Til Naruto convinced him to work with allies.

[@Danny_Deleto]

I loved this arc, but my only gripe with it is the Susano'o. Giving a character an almost impenetrable shield that he can manifest at any moment just makes fights less interesting.

[@Rafa-Silva-Alt]

Literal plot armor lol

[@justsomeguy6336]

Once the Susano’o and rinnegan showed up the show stopped being about ninjas and more about eye powers

[@Khajitxi]

Deidara vs Sasuke was an amazing fight, I just didn’t like the ending since it features Sasuke use two techniques (sharingan and summoning Manda) that at that time were considered to be extremely chakra intensive in a split second to save his ass. I admittedly don’t like Sasuke, but something like a foreshadowing him learning Minato’s technique and finally pulling it off for the first time to save himself would have elevated that fight instead of dampened it. Especially since Sasuke likes to spam lightning. It even bypasses the issue of Sasuke’s rinnegan ability being garbage since Kishimoto wouldn’t have doubled up on the same ability at the end of the war arc.

[@Sasukeis6-0againstNaruto]

Sharingan is intensive for those who don't naturally have it & Sasuke consistently showed that speed. Even with summoning. The battle begins with him summoning a snake in the blink of an eye to block Deidara's ambush. Earlier he not only got inbetween Suigetsu and Jugo a second before they hit each other, but summoned snakes to wrap around them. Flying Thunder God is extremely rare. His counter was better. He used a common technique in a clever way. He was always a speed based fighter both in mind (deducing abilities, coming up with plans), body (foot and reaction speed) & technique (Sharingan, Chidori, Kirin, Amaterasu, & Susano arrows) so teleportation being his Rinnegan ability is perfect. Like how Tsukuyomi - the ultimate genjutsu, is for Itachi who lived as a spy.

[@Khajitxi]

@@Sasukeis6-0againstNaruto Your stance means that Sasuke was just absurdly dumb and dropped his sharingan vs his opponent for no good reason while somehow having enough chakra to summon something that through the entire series has required an S rank Ninja or tailed beast to have to have the spare chakra for. And that despite having so much chakra left over he didn’t bother using it to immobilize his opponent (perhaps with snakes) so that he wouldn’t need to summon Manda in the first place? And Manda is supposed to respond to Sasuke’s summon instead of either breaking/penalizing Sasuke’s contract for killing Orochimaru or summoning Sasuke (contacts go both ways) to slaughter him at a bad time? Or even for just using those misc summoned snakes as canon fodder before he got to Manda? The scenario only gets worse the more one thinks of it. Deidara even has to be one of the only times narrative exposition is outright wrong (as opposed to a character using trickery) via saying Sasuke is low on Chakra for any of this to work despite being an s rank. It feels more like Kishimoto backed himself into a corner and pulled something out than anything planned. And then you gotta suspend your disbelief to accept that Sasuke pulled an Indiana Jones and the fridge of infinity during an actual explosion taking place at his location which should have jellied him even while inside of Manda. Flying thunder god may be rare,but Sasuke was trained not only by Minato’s student, but by a guy with a goal of learning every justu to exist. Unlike Sasuke’s method of survival at the end of that fight, there is at least plausibility for him to get info on the flying thunder god from both of those sources and infuse chakra into a tag ahead of time to summon himself at a safer spot. Certainly better than a rinnegan ability with a massive chakra drain that’s a weaker version of the log jutsu even Sakura can do as a child.

[@Sasukeis6-0againstNaruto]

@@Khajitxi Deidara is on the ground beaten with little chakra then suddenly uses a Bijudama level explosion that we didn't know he had. Yet you don't call that out. Kishimoto didn't make Sasuke run out of chakra then summon Manda a few seconds later nor was he forced to make Deidara use a random new move. 😆 Earlier Deidara questioned whether a CM2 Sharingan Sasuke was "running low on chakra" because he was suppousedly stuck in the clone (chapter 361 page 2). He's not a reliable narrator. Sasuke said he was worn out from shocking himself with Chidori (chapter 361 page 13). When he ran out against Itachi Orochimaru was able to emerge because til then Sasuke used a portion to suppress him (chapter 392 page 7). He deactivated Sharingan because he believed the battle was over. Sharingan can see chakra. He knew Deidara was finished (or should have been). Deidara *immediately* commented on this, got pissed & blew himself up (chapter 362 page 10). Strange how this dialogue eludes you despite placing so much value on his assumptions before. Well, you even missed Sasuke's statement on his condition. So perhaps you're just accepting information you want to believe. Hindsight bias. It's not common to see a guy transform into a bomb claiming it will kill you. Especially near chakra-less. Too risky to try neutralizing him. Best to evade. He used Sharingan Genjutsu to control Manda against it's will. Using Manda was a preplanned strategy given Suigetsu had a snake summoning scroll, a vial of Sasuke's blood to summon it and knew to do it when seeing the explosion (chapter 363 pages 4-6 & pages 10-13). Substitution jutsu is when a user replaces themself with something without the opponent noticing. They'd have to either be significantly faster or distract them to pull it off. Sasuke's teleportation allows him to transport himself, others, objects & even jutsu without moving. He can also redirect their position. As he did his sword against Madara to instantly stab him. That's far better. Flying Thunder God is a better comparison.
