Changes: A Meeting With Destiny

Revision as of 22:09, 23 January 2019

"A Meeting With Destiny" (因縁あいまみえる, Innen Aimamieru) is episode 13 of the Naruto: Shippūden anime.

Summary

As Gaara's beast is being extracted from him, Team Kakashi and Team Guy are confronted by Itachi and Kisame respectively. Kisame is on the offensive with Water Release: Exploding Water Colliding Wave, having the terrain to his advantage. Team Guy is unable to land any hits on Kisame, as he blocks every move with his sword. Despite their bout, Guy is still unable to remember Kisame. Guy goes in for the close combat, while Lee strikes from below with Leaf Rising Wind, managing to cause Kisame to lose his grip on his sword. Neji then hits him with Eight Trigrams Vacuum Palm, propelling Kisame backwards. To top it off, Tenten sends an Exploding Sphere his way. While Kisame manages to absorb and block the impact with his sword, he ends up under the water. Rising back above, he expresses his irritation of having to deal with him. Guy still cannot remember Kisame, and goes as far to ask whether the sword Kisame is using is his, much to Neji's annoyance. Guy rushes towards Kisame and using his Dynamic Action, he is able to steal Kisame's sword away from him. Believing Kisame to be vulnerable, Guy orders his team to attack. Kisame summons three water clones and traps Neji, Tenten and Lee with his Water Prison Technique. Guy rushes to free them with Kisame's sword in tow, but the hilt of Kisame's sword injures Guy, returning the sword to Kisame.

In the clearing, Itachi greets both Naruto and Kakashi. Kakashi tells the team not to look at Itachi's eyes, since he uses visual genjutsu. Chiyo has heard of Itachi before, and how he was the one who wiped out his own clan. Nonetheless, she tells them that she has gone up against an Uchiha and their Sharingan in her youth and devises a plan of attack. Kakashi, however, states that her plan would not work since Itachi uses Mangekyō Sharingan. He recalls the last time he fought Itachi, in which Itachi placed him under Tsukuyomi, which caused Kakashi to undergo three days worth of torture and a week in a comatose state. Itachi is surprised to know that Kakashi has learned something from their last battle, but Kakashi goes on to add that using the Mangekyō Sharingan comes at a personal cost - risking the user's eyesight and causing permanent damage. Itachi commends Kakashi for learning about the Mangekyō Sharingan, and Kakashi responds by asking how damaged Itachi's eyes are, before raising his forehead protector to reveal his own Sharingan. Itachi is stunned by the move, and along with Kakashi's knowledge of the Mangekyō Sharingan, wonders if Kakashi himself possesses it. Kakashi tells his team that in order to fight Itachi, they must anticipate his moves by looking at his body instead of his eyes. Itachi, however, is able to cast genjutsu with his ring, to which Naruto remains oblivious. Kakashi rushes at Itachi, but Itachi blocks the move and holds him in place. Using a shadow clone, Itachi goes after Naruto. Naruto hits the shadow clone with a quickly executed Rasengan, dispelling the shadow clone. He then sees Kakashi, Sakura and Chiyo lying wounded on the ground. However, all three of them turn into Itachi, and Naruto wonders what exactly is going on.

-== Synopsis ==
+{{-}}
-Kisame starts things off with [[Water Release: Exploding Water Colliding Wave]] at his bout with [[Team Guy]], while [[Kakashi]] warns the others about [[Itachi]]'s [[Sharingan]] techniques. He learned from [[Guy]] that the way to fight someone like Itachi is to focus on their feet and body, and then anticipate their moves from there. [[Chiyo]] sees it a bit differently. In a one on one battle, battling Itachi would seem impossible, but when more than one person enters the fray, the odds change. One person would be the bait to take Itachi's genjutsu, while someone could attack Itachi from behind. If that didn't work, the genjutsu can be dispelled by touching your ally and flowing your chakra into their body. Just as [[Naruto]] steps forward, Kakashi halts him.
+== Credits ==
-Guy and his squad continue to avoid the onslaught of the enormous tidal wave Kisame has created. Kakashi re-examines Chiyo's theory about countering genjutsu. She would be right if they were dealing with normal genjutsu, but trying to take on [[Mangekyō Sharingan]] is suicide. Kakashi thinks back to when he had to endure the effects of the Mangekyō Sharingan when Itachi came to the Leaf Village awhile ago. While it seems that only a second passes in the real world, in the world of [[Tsukuyomi]], minutes, hours, and days at a time can pass. Dispelling something like the Mangekyō isn't possible. However, Kakashi also remembers that the Mangekyō Sharingan is a double-edged sword. When Itachi uses it, not only does it use an enormous amount of chakra, but it does a number on his eyesight. Kakashi wonders just how bad has Itachi's eyesight become.

-Kisame and Guy continue going at it and Guy nearly avoids a hard swipe from his Shark Skin when [[Lee]] intervenes with [[Leaf Rising Wind]]. Kisame is then sent flying when [[Neji]] gives a hard [[Eight Trigrams Empty Palm]] and he nearly avoids the spiked kunai bomb that [[Tenten]] has thrown. The attached explosive note detonates and he heads underwater to avoid the blast. Eventually, he emerges from the water looking like a wet blanket.

-Kakashi informs Itachi their battle would be different than the last one since he let his guard down, and the same goes for Naruto. However, just as Kakashi had done long ago when all of Team 7 had to protect [[Tazuna]] from [[Zabuza]], he tells Naruto at he'll do the battling, but he does need Naruto's help since Itachi's no pushover.

+Might Guy
-Guy prepares for his counterattack. While he distracts Kisame, the others will attack with everything they've got. Kisame isn't one to leave himself open to attacks, so the plan seems futile. Guy narrowly avoids another swipe from Shark Skin while Neji goes on the offensive and strikes the sword with his [[Gentle Fist]]. This and Lee's kick are blocked and Lee realizes that close range combat is pretty pointless. Therefore, Tenten summons several kunai from her scroll. They all have explosive notes attached, but even this does nothing to penetrate Kisame's defenses. Guy then realizes that Shark Skin is Kisame's weapon. As Neji points out, something simple like that could be figured out just by looking at Kisame, but to Guy, there's a huge difference between thinking and knowing that it's his weapon. Lee seems to be pretty enthusiastic about it, but not Neji and Tenten.

-Guy manages to get Shark Skin away from Kisame while the others attack. They are all battered off by three Water clones that Kisame created.
