Eyes that See the Darkness

Held inside Konoha's Intelligence Division, Karin plays up a fractured mental state so her guards ease their watch, all while readying an escape with a lock-pick tucked in her glasses and a photo of Sasuke she smuggled behind a portrait. Near one of Orochimaru's old lairs, Jugo and Suigetsu catch wind of the war. When Jugo presses him on why he ever joined Taka, the two bicker until Jugo's murderous urge flares and he lunges; Suigetsu simply liquefies, reshapes, and starts smothering him into submission. The scuffle exposes a concealed chamber, and inside Suigetsu turns up valuable records Orochimaru had squirreled away.

Elsewhere Sasuke crosses paths with a cluster of White Zetsu copies who challenge him for being out in the open and then recognise that he has already slain the genuine White Zetsu. He answers with Susanoo and burns a swath of them away with a blaze technique, then pins one under genjutsu to wring out the truth of the conflict and its aims. Finished with the interrogation, he destroys the clone and settles on going after Naruto, admiring the eyes he took from Itachi as he recalls his brother. Far away, Itachi himself is already in motion.

Karin conceals escape tools and prepares to slip her captivity. Jugo and Suigetsu learn of the war, and their argument turns into a fight that Suigetsu wins by drowning Jugo. A hidden room full of Orochimaru's intelligence is uncovered. Sasuke wipes out White Zetsu clones, extracts information through genjutsu, and decides to kill Naruto, while Itachi moves elsewhere.

Part of the Fourth Shinobi World War: Climax storyline, the chapter was collected in the sixtieth volume. Viz Media published it as Eyes That See In The Dark. The title threads Sasuke's transplanted Uchiha vision through the chapter's darker turns.
