Naruto Shippuuden Movie 5 - Blood Prison

Blood Prison story revolves around the Box of Extreme Bliss. It is said that the box brings forth enlightenment, actuates enlightenment and ends in enlightenment. It is believed that the Hidden Grass village almost took over the world by using the box however it was instead destroyed by the box. When the village was destroyed, two Hidden Grass groups arose. One was the Fruit Group and the other one was the Flower Group. The Fruit Group's mission was to use the box as a weapon while the Flower Group was an anti-war group.

Anyone who can open the box will get their wish granted. A huge amount of chakra is required to open the box. Because of this the Fruit Group has been sacrificing people with huge amount of chakra to the box. Muku, a young genius from the Hidden Grass village, was one of the sacrifices. 

The story begins when Naruto was framed and accused of committing a crime. He was then placed in a cage and sent to the Houzuki Castle. He meets Mui, the owner of the Prison, who placed an imprisonment jutsu on him called Katon-Tenrou (Fire Arts, Sky Prison). This jutsu will prevent somebody from using their chakra. It is a fire style jutsu which can burn a person to ashes if he or she insists on using his or her chakra. This jutsu also does not work on water. The only way to remove this jutsu is to die or if the jutsu user dies.

Naruto meets new characters:

Mui - the owner of the Houzuki Castle prison. Father of Muku. A member of the Fruit Group. His goal is to open the box of bliss.

Muku - the son of Mui. He was sacrificed to the box years ago. He is Ryuuzetsu's best friend.

Ryuuzetsu - is a female ANBU of Hidden Grass Village. She was sent to the prison as a spy of the Flower Group. Her mission is to kill Mui and stop him from opening the box. She was also Muku's best friend. She's basically fighting for Muku's death and hated Mui for sacrificing Muku.

Maroi - one of the prisoners. Mui also give Maroi secret missions inside the prison. But later on, it was revealed that he was sent there by the Hidden Village of Lightning to protect Naruto. 

                                                      

Naruto later found out that he was sent there as prisoner so that Mui will be able to use the nine tails chakra to open the box. A great amount of Naruto's chakra was forced out of him to open the box. The box was activated and Mui made a wish. Instead of wishing for power, he wished to see his son Muku once again. This angered the rest of the members of the Fruit Group. Ryuuzetsu was surprised by this. All along Muku's motive was to bring his son back. Muku came out of the box as an evil person, attacked his father and tranformed into a monster.

Since Naruto is unable to use his own chakra because of the imprisonment jutsu, he used natural energy to gather strength and transformed himself into Sennin Mode.Unable to suppress the monster alone, Naruto summoned Gama Bunta. However, their combined attacks did not stop the monster and Naruto's Sennin Mode is no longer activated. Fortunately, everyone from Konoha including Tsunade came in plus Bee in Tailed Beast Mode. They are still unable to defeat the monster because their attacks could be read by the monster. While everyone is attacking the monster, Naruto took some time to transform into Sennin Mode.When he did, he attacked the monster again. This time the monster is unable to read Naruto's moves. However, an unexpected attack from the monster went through Naruto's body. Ryuuzetsu also got wounded by this attack because of her attempt to protect Naruto and her attempt to get her bestfriend, Muku, back to his senses. During the fights, Muku, who was in monster form, never attacked Ryuuzetsu. Both Naruto and Ryuuzetsu are now fatally wounded.

Mui, whom I thought was already dead, stood up despite the wound that he received from his son. He then attacked the monster using the imprisonment jutsu. The monster later transformed back into Muku. Both Muku and his father, Mui, died.

At the end, Ryuuzetsu used her clan's jutsu to save Naruto's life. After using this jutsu, she also lost her life.

Naruto Shippuuden Episode 264 - Secrets of Reanimation Jutsu

There are two important things in this episode: First, Bee is teaching Naruto how to do the Tailed Beast Transformation and how to do the Tailed Beast Bomb. Second, Kabuto will be explaining the Reanimation Jutsu to Tobi.

Naruto and the Tailed Beast Bomb:

Since Naruto is unable to switch to the Tailed Beast Mode, he will be doing the the Tailed Beast Bomb in the Tailed Beast Chakra Mode instead. Naruto turned into a small Tailed Beast when he attempted to do the Tailed Beast Mode.

The Tailed Beast Bomb should look something like this:

Bee explained the Tailed Beast Bomb which made Naruto realize that the Tailed Beast Bomb is similar to the method of creating Rasengan. Both requires chakra release and rotation plus change in chakra form and compression. Naruto attempts to do the Tailed Beast Bomb by doing it like how he does the Rasengan. Since Rasengan requires two hands, he releases two tails while in Tailed Beast Chakra Mode instead of using Shadow Clones because it would be two risky to use Shadow Clones in Tailed Beast Chakra Mode.

Secrets of Reanimation Jutsu:

Kabuto demonstrates the Reanimation Jutsu to Tobi.

Tobi brings out Danzo's two warriors.He then kills one of them so that Kabuto can use them as sacrifices. 

Kabuto explains that the Reanimation Jutsu is a type of Summoning Jutsu, where the jutsu user summons the soul of the dead from the afterlife. He will need sacrifices and a fixed portion of flesh from the dead (or the person he wants to revive). If a soul is sealed somewhere else such as the soul was taken by the God of Death through the Reaper Deal Seal, the Reanimation Jutsu could not be used. Since the First to the Fourth Hokages are sealed through the Reaper Deal Seal, their souls could not be summoned.

Kabuto then turns the living person to a dead man's vessel.

Kabuto controls the dead man's personality with a tag so that he can assign orders and use his abilities.

Killing the jutsu user will not stop the jutsu. The dead man will continue to rise and retransform. However, it seems that the reanimation jutsu will break by itself if the resurrected soul is freed from itself through emotional freedom or realization. Or if their souls are sealed. Kabuto also suggest that the justu user can also be manipulated through Sharingan and weave the signs dog, horse and tiger. The Reanimation Justu was created by the Second Hokage and perfected by Lord Orochimaru.

Naruto Shippuuden Episode 205 - Declaration of War (pictures and summary)

Uchiha Madara finally shows up in the 5 Kages Summit. Danzo, the Hidden Leaf's current acting Hokage has already left the summit and escaped. Sasuke was about to be defeated by the Tsuchikage however Madara had saved him. Unable to persuade the 5 Kages to give up the remaining Jinchuurikis (Naruto and Killer Bee), Madara declares war-- 4th Ninja World War!

Madara explains his motive and what he intend to do with the nine Bijuus. He wanted to revive the Ten Tails and make himself its Jinchuuriki to activate a certain powerful Genjutsu. Using the Ten Tails power combined with his ocular power, he'll make Project Tsuki No Me work. It is done by projecting his own eyes to the moon and cast an infinite tsukuyomi to everyone.

The nine tailed beasts were originally created after the Sage of Six Paths divided the Ten Tails into nine. The Sage of Six Paths has once protected the world by sealing the Ten Tails to his own body. He indeed created the Sealing Jutsu. However, the Sage of Six Paths knew that the Ten Tails will be released into the world if he dies. To prevent the Ten Tails from destroying the world, he divided the Ten Tails chakra into nine and scattered it around the world. Madara mentioned that the beast's body was sealed using the power of Chibaku Tensei, it created what we call the moon. Ninja villages later on used the Sealing Jutsu to capture Bijuus and used as a weapon.

After Madara's appearance to the summit, the Five Kages join forces while Gaara is given the task to talk to Hatake Kakashi since Danzo has betrayed the other four Kages.

Here are the pictures of the Nine Bijuus and Nine Jinchuurikis (including their names):

Which Ninjas Did Kabuto Revive?

Kabuto revived a number of great ninjas to help Akatsuki win the 4th World Ninja War. A few great and skilled ninjas revived are the following:

Kabuto's evil Impure World Resurrection technique revives the former members of Akatsuki including Itachi, previous kages, former Jinchuurikis and other great ninjas like Zabuza and Haku, Asuma, Chiyo of the Sand and even Kimimaru (bloodline limit that uses bones). They will be totally controlled by Kabuto when he finally decides to fully utilize the power of the forbidden technique. However, its power is quite limited since it cannot summon those ninjas who were sealed like Yondaime and the Third Hokage.
