While on the way to [[Konoha]], [[Taka]] briefly stops by a construction [[Sasuke]] recognises. He thinks back to when he first came across it. During a training section near the location, Sasuke remembers how he was falling behind [[Naruto]] after he defeated [[Gaara]]. He punches a tree and uses [[Chidori]] to take some of them out. A girl named [[Naho]] almost falls from a cliff nearby and Sasuke saves her. Later, Sasuke and [[Kakashi]] had been sent to investigate national wanted list criminals, and [[Naruto]], [[Sakura]] and have been sent to escort Naho, a relative of the [[Fire Daimyō]], to Shizume village. Naho wants Sasuke to escort her, but he was with Kakashi in another mission. Naruto disguises himself as Sasuke so Naho agrees to go with them. After Sasuke and Kakashi noted that the fortress was empty, Naho's group was intercepted by [[Sadai]] and his associates. Naruto, Sakura, and Naho come across the criminal and his associates. Naruto defeats the associates, but can't take down their leader. They're all captured. Kakashi uses his [[ninken]] to track the criminal. Sasuke appears and the leader mocks him, mentioning he alone in his [[Uchiha Clan|clan]] wasn't worth killing, mirroring [[Itachi]]'s words. Sasuke takes on the leader, who reveals an [[Earth Release Armour]], the reason he's able to take on so many attacks. Sasuke defeats him with Chidori, and proceeds to keep punching him. Kakashi stops him and Sasuke goes back to Konoha by himself. Naho comments that Sasuke is scary, but Naruto assures her that Sasuke just has a lot going on with him at the moment, and promises to take her to see him once he's better.

Naho was later sent to Konoha where she would protected. Due to growing tensions in the rivalry between Naruto and Sasuke, [[Tsunade]] appointed Naruto and [[Sakura]] as her bodyguards while Sasuke and [[Kakashi]] were on a mission of their own, to allow the rivals to cool off. Because Naho explicitly wanted Sasuke, Naruto used the [[Transformation Technique]] to disguise himself as Sasuke. The trio were soon ambushed by a bandit named [[Sadai]], who wanted to kidnap Naho for money. Using his [[Multiple Shadow Clone Technique]], Naruto attempted to dazzle Naho by using his "Sasuke Punch" and "Sasuke Kick" to take out the bandits and tried to defeat Sadai with his [[Naruto Uzumaki Combo]], which he refined into the [[Lion Combo]] since he was impersonating Sasuke. However, Sadai was unfazed by the attack, prompting Naruto to strike him with [[Rasengan]], only to be shocked that it did not work as well.

Sadai noticed his [[Sharingan]] and mused how he had met [[Itachi]] and how he had thought that Itachi had [[Uchiha Clan Downfall|killed]] the entire [[Uchiha clan]], and theorised that Sasuke must not have been worth killing. Incensed due to the fact that Itachi had said those same words, Sasuke destroyed Sadai's [[Earth Release: Hardening Technique|armour]] with his [[Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique]] and struck him in mid-air with his Chidori. As Naho watched in horror, Sasuke began to beat the man to inches of his life, with Sadai's blood splattered on Sasuke's face. Sadai was saved by the arrival of Kakashi, and Sasuke decided to return to Konoha. Naho became scared of Sasuke; however, she was comforted by Naruto, who told her that Sasuke was going through some problems and that he was usually a nice guy, and that he would take her to meet him once he calmed down.

"Drive Towards Darkness" (闇への疾走, Yami e no Shissō) is episode 196 of the Naruto: Shippūden anime.

Synopsis

On the way to Konoha, Taka briefly stop at a place which Sasuke remembers from his past. Recalling how Naruto summoned Gamabunta during his fight with Gaara, Sasuke was frustrated at Naruto's spike in strength. After destroying a tree with his Chidori, he noticed a small girl named Naho who was about to fall off a cliff towards her death and promptly saved her. Because Sasuke did not know that she was a relative of the Fire Daimyō, he did not treat her with the respect she was used to, causing her to become infatuated with him.

Naho was later sent to Konoha where she would protected. Due to growing tensions in the rivalry between Naruto and Sasuke, Tsunade appointed Naruto and Sakura as her bodyguards while Sasuke and Kakashi were on a mission of their own, to allow the rivals to cool off. Because Naho explicitly wanted Sasuke, Naruto used the Transformation Technique to disguise himself as Sasuke. The trio were soon ambushed by a bandit named Sadai, who wanted to kidnap Naho for money. Using his Multiple Shadow Clone Technique, Naruto attempted to dazzle Naho by using his "Sasuke Punch" and "Sasuke Kick" to take out the bandits and tried to defeat Sadai with his Naruto Uzumaki Combo, which he refined into the Lion Combo since he was impersonating Sasuke. However, Sadai was unfazed by the attack, prompting Naruto to strike him with Rasengan, only to be shocked that it did not work as well.

Meanwhile, Sasuke and Kakashi discovered that their mission, which was to apprehend wanted criminals in the Land of Fire, were planning to kidnap a girl named Naho, whom Sasuke recognised. As Sadai defeated Naruto, the transformation technique dispelled and Naho was shocked to see that it was not Sasuke. As she cried for Sasuke, the latter arrived. Sadai noticed his Sharingan and mused how he had met Itachi and how he had thought that Itachi had killed the entire Uchiha clan, and theorised that Sasuke must not have been worth killing. Incensed due to the fact that Itachi had said those same words, Sasuke destroyed Sadai's armour with his Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique and struck him in mid-air with his Chidori. As Naho watched in horror, Sasuke began to beat the man to inches of his life, with Sadai's blood splattered on Sasuke's face. Sadai was saved by the arrival of Kakashi, and Sasuke decided to return to Konoha. Naho became scared of Sasuke; however, she was comforted by Naruto, who told her that Sasuke was going through some problems and that he was usually a nice guy, and that he would take her to meet him once he calmed down.

Trivia

  • During his fight with Sadai, Sasuke is seen with a three-tomoe Sharingan. However, he did not activate the third tomoe until his fight with Naruto at the Valley of the End.
