Naruto 343, 344
Naruto 343 Merciless...
Somewhere not in Konoha, Sasuke and Orochimaru are standing in a field with shinobis who were defeated by Sasuke. These shinobis are still alive and Sasuke stated that they are not the ones he wanted to kill. Oro thought that Sasuke has surpassed him when he was his age. His body will soon be his.
At Konoha, Naruto, Sakura and Sai were at Ichiraku Ramen Bar eating ramen. Naruto was not able to use his right hand due to the injury caused by using Fuuton Rasen Shuiriken. Sakura warned him to not use Fuuton Rasen Shuiriken too many times; she cannot always heal him. Naruto felt that he can finally pursue Sasuke now. Sakura offered to feed Naruto; but Sai jumped in and fed him instead. Naruto complained that Sai ruined the moment; Sai said that he should help a friend in need (that is what the book says). Naruto said that you need to look at the situation as well. =p Kakashi appeared. Sakura said that he is not at the hospital. Kakashi said that he did not need to use the Mangekyo Sharingan this time because of Naruto, otherwise he would still be at the hospital. (It seems that Kakashi fed Naruto =p -- Naruto said something about from Sakura to Kakashi =p). Kakashi said that Naruto is now his equal, if not stronger than him. However, there will be great harm done to the user with all powerful jutsu.
Back at Orochimaru's place, Oro was seriously ill at his bed. Kabuto warned him that his body cannot take the medicine anymore. He then went off to get more medicine. Then, a blade of chakra went through the wall and shoot towards Oro. Oro blocked it with his arms. He recognized this chakra, but not the shape manipulation. Sasuke appeared with his level 1 curse seal and Sharingan activated. He said that he has nothing left to learn from Oro. Oro seemed to anticipate this.
Naruto 344 (Snake and…)
[This is all Sasuke vs Orochimaru and a lot of dialogue].
Sasuke continued to mock Oro's goals and his genius. Sasuke said that Oro is a genius, but he and other genius are nothing compare to an Uchiha. Oro was not able to take Itachi because he is too much for him; that is why he went for Sasuke. Sasuke was disgusted at Oro's goal to take over others' bodies and it is the same as Itachi's murder of the Uchiha clan just to measure his own abilities. Sasuke attacked Oro. Oro escaped by loosing his human form and reavealed his true form -- a white snake. Sasuke activate his level 2 cursed seal and grew his wings. He said that he will defeat Oro like how a hawk can defeat a snake.
Oro flashback: young Oro and young Sandaime. They were at Oro's parents' grave. Oro found the skin of a white snake on the grave and asked Sandaime what it was. Sandaime was surprised; he never seen it before and said that it must have been hard to find -- it is something very rare and you don't get to see it often. Oro asked why is the skin white; Sandaime did not know and no one even think about that. Sandaime further explained that for a long time, white snakes symbolized the image of good fortune and rebirth. The fact that Oro found it here might be some sign -- that his parents reincarnated somewhere and someday Oro can meet them. Oro asked when will that be; Sandaime said he did not know. Oro was staring at the skin, smiling -- Good fortune and rebirth...
Good fortune, rebirth and immortality. A monster that was born from that wish is now the prey of an even great monster (Sasuke)!!!
Next week: master and student know each other well. The result of the showdown -- "New Era".
======================================================================
All of the recent arc is about the master and student relationship. How the student surpass their master -- Shikamaru surpassed Asuma and finally grew up to take responsibilites seriously; he also learned the meaning to protect the King of Konoha. He is no more of a guy who always think things are troublesome. Naruto surpassed Kakashi and even the Fourth by completing the Rasengan justu -- Kakashi and the Fourth are unable to add their own element to the Rasengan to complete the jutsu. Naruto completed it (even by 50%) within a month and created the Fuuton Rasen Shuiriken - Wind element and Rasengan. Naruto also grew up (no need to always be saved by someone) and defeated the Akatsuki.
Now, it is Sasuke vs Orochimaru. The results of their clash can be -- Sasuke defeated Oro or Oro defeated Sasuke and take his body as the next host. Looking at the recent arc, the result is most probably Sasuke defeated Orochimaru, thus creating a new era. I do hope that Sasuke will not be taken over by Orochimaru as Naruto will save Sasuke from darkness like Neji said.
