Chapter 355 scatters every party across the map as the hunt for Itachi begins, with Konoha's teams, Sasuke's group, and two Akatsuki members all fanning out in different directions.
Main Characters (4)
Summary
The combined unit drawn from Kakashi's and Kurenai's squads breaks into smaller parties, each taking along one of Kakashi's tracking hounds. Their goal is to sweep the region for any trace of Itachi's movements.
Sasuke's own group divides in the same way, checking the hideouts long associated with the Akatsuki. Elsewhere, with the arms he lost during his earlier clash with Kakashi's team now regrown, Deidara sets off alongside Tobi to track down either Naruto or Sasuke.
By the chapter's end, one search turns up Sasuke's location, while another separately pinpoints where Naruto's group has gone.
Key Events
The Konoha task force splits into hound-assisted parties to search for Itachi. Sasuke's team disperses across known Akatsuki sites. Deidara, his arms restored, pairs with Tobi to hunt the two targets. Both Sasuke and Naruto's group are located.
