the episode where tobi tells susuke truth about itachi..... i dont know which number of episode but its the one where sasuke ends up deciding that he will destroy leaf and we see his MS first time. tobi says and i quote

"And from the moment he left the village he resigned himself to battling you to death in order to give you new powers"

here new powers definately means MS.
