Kakashi requests Sai's clone to take him to Sakura to stop her from fighting Sasuke, telling Yamato to take Naruto back to the village while sending his ninja hounds ahead of them with information about the Five Kage Summit. But Naruto collapses from a panic attack over the events of learning what Sasuke has become and the prospect of even his friends wanting to kill Sasuke. Meanwhile, furious that Danzo assumes that he learned the truth of the Uchiha massacre from Itachi while deeming him truly a traitor, Sasuke uses his Susano'o to crush Danzo to death. However, Danzo appears to have survived unscathed, and the two begin to battle. Even Amaterasu is ineffective, and Danzo keeps coming back up after what should be a killing blow, due to a mysterious jutsu that is neither a cloning jutsu nor a genjutsu. As Karin notices one of the Sharingan on Danzo's arm close after being fatally cut down, Sasuke inflicts Danzo with a genjutsu in Itachi's image.
