Main Characters (3)
Summary
Naruto keeps drilling the Tailed Beast Rasengan, refining his command over it. Elsewhere, Tobi instructs Kabuto to do away with Anko, yet Kabuto argues that he stands to grow more powerful by drawing out the traces of Orochimaru's chakra still lingering within her, so he keeps her alive for that purpose.
Key Events
Rather than kill Anko, Kabuto agrees to walk Tobi through the workings of the Summoning: Impure World Reincarnation. To demonstrate the jutsu, he takes Torune, whom he has only just slain, and brings him back using the body of Fu Yamanaka. The technique succeeds without a hitch.
