The Third Power

Summary
Reminiscing about Itachi's last words, Sasuke doubts and questions important aspects of a shinobi's life. Just as the roof of the Kabuto's place caves in, Sasuke manages to dodge the falling stones and rocks. Suigetsu and Jūgo appear, claiming, at last, to have found Sasuke.

As the five Kage are still amazed to find Madara among themselves even after Impure World Reincarnation has seemingly been released, Madara exclaims that after fighting him, they might have realised he was not the type of shinobi to be under someone else's control. And that it would be a disgrace to again summon his complete Susanoo when it is said that "anyone who has seen it has died". Ōnoki exclaims that they must fight and defeat Madara themselves. Meanwhile, while Naruto and Killer B are still fighting Tobi and his Demonic Statue of the Outer Path, Naruto goads Tobi to show his real face. Angered by Naruto's provocations, Tobi revives the Demonic Statue to its full form.

At Kabuto place, Jūgo declares Anko Mitarashi to still be alive and exclaims that Madara is still in the living world, surprising Sasuke. As Sasuke questions them why they were still after him, Suigetsu tells him that they had found a cool thing in the lair and hands Sasuke a scroll. Rendered speechless for a moment, Sasuke then says that he's willing to meet with Orochimaru; saying that Orochimaru was tough and not going to vanish easily when Suigetsu stated that Sasuke himself killed him. Before leaving Sasuke exclaims that he's "going to meet the one who knows everything".
