Frequently asked about Naruto Shippūden

Common questions people search for, with answers written by us at MoviesPack.

• What is the true purpose of Madara Uchiha's Eye of the Moon Plan?▾

  The Eye of the Moon Plan, also called the Infinite Tsukuyomi, aimed to trap all of humanity inside an eternal dream-world genjutsu cast through the Rinne Sharingan projected onto the moon. Madara believed this would end all conflict and suffering by removing free will and immersing everyone in an illusion of perfect happiness. In practice it would have dissolved individual consciousness, making it a form of mass subjugation disguised as salvation.

• Why did Itachi Uchiha massacre his entire clan, including his parents?▾

  Itachi carried out the Uchiha Clan Massacre on orders from Konoha's elders and the Third Hokage, who feared an imminent coup that the clan had been secretly planning. Rather than allow a civil war that could destabilize the village and potentially trigger a Fourth Great Ninja War, Itachi chose to bear the role of mass murderer alone, sparing only Sasuke. He deliberately made himself Sasuke's hated enemy so that Sasuke would have the motivation to grow strong, and he accepted being branded a traitor to protect Konoha's stability from the shadows.

• What is the nature of the relationship between Naruto's Nine-Tails (Kurama) and the other Tailed Beasts?▾

  All nine Tailed Beasts are fragments of the Ten-Tails, split apart by the Sage of Six Paths, Hagoromo Ōtsutsuki, after he sealed the Ten-Tails within himself and became its jinchūriki. Each beast received a portion of the Sage's chakra and was given a name and identity, making them sentient beings rather than mindless monsters. Kurama's extreme hostility toward humans stemmed from centuries of being sealed, weaponized, and treated as a tool, but after Naruto earns his trust, Kurama becomes a willing partner and one of the series' most significant redemption arcs.

• What does Obito Uchiha's backstory reveal about why he became the chief antagonist?▾

  Obito was originally an idealistic ninja who loved his teammate Rin, but he was crushed under rubble during a mission and rescued by Madara, who manipulated his grief and anger. The decisive break came when Obito witnessed Kakashi kill Rin — an act Rin had engineered herself to prevent Kirigakure from using her as a weapon — and the trauma caused him to abandon his belief in the ninja world entirely. Madara exploited this despair to turn Obito into the masked figure known as Tobi, positioning him as the executor of the Eye of the Moon Plan.

• What is the significance of Naruto and Sasuke's final battle at the Valley of the End?▾

  The battle revisits the same location as their first clash in the original series, framing their conflict as a cyclical tragedy that mirrors the ancient rivalry between the Sage of Six Paths' two sons, Asura and Indra — whose reincarnations Naruto and Sasuke are revealed to be. Sasuke's goal is to kill the current five Kage and become a lone revolutionary who bears the hatred of the world so future generations can be built on a clean foundation, while Naruto refuses to abandon him regardless of ideology. Their mutual loss of an arm symbolizes that neither fully won, and Sasuke's acknowledgment of defeat marks his genuine change of heart rather than a forced reconciliation.
