This episode shows how Sasuke chooses to follow a new path, beginning a wave of crimes. After reflectioning about the truth about Itachi, he begins to remember memories he kept hidden deep down. The night where his parents were killed, he remember seeing tears on Itachi's face right before leaving him alone on the Uchiha's ground. Now he know why. But he tells that he can't do what Itachi wanted him to do, he wants to punish Konoha for what they did to Itachi and the Uchiha. Later, Tobi finds Kisame on a distant land, and reveals his face to him. Kisame recognizes him as "Madara", the man who controled the Mizukage of Hidden Mist Village. He's glad that he is Akatsuki's leader, making his job easier. Then, Sasuke and his team meet Kisame, and with Obito discuss what to do next. Obito tells that to attack Konoha, he is going to need more power than the current team. They share common goals, and explains the capture of the tailed beasts. Kisame says that only remain three Bijuus, and Sasuke guesses that Naruto is still out there. Obito then orders him to capture the Hachibi, while Akatsuki takes care of the rest. Taka gets the needed information, and go to Kumogakure with the Akatsuki's robes. Sasuke uses gen jutsu on a shinobi guard to get the location of the Hachibi. And so, an important character is introduced: Killer B, the Hachibi, an adult ninja from Kumogakure, blonde with black glasses, corpulent, who charges eight swords and likes to rap a lot. Also, looks like he can control the Hachibi's power perfectly. When Taka meets him, Sasuke orders Jugo and Suigetsu to corner Killer B from the sides. They try to attack him, Suigetsu with Zabuza's sword, and Jugo with his partial transformation. But Killer B is a experienced notable warrior and defeats them easily while rapping. Then he asks them who they are and what they want, Sasuke says that they will capture him, but doesn't tell why. He tells Karin that they are doing this to gain power, and that they will use Akatsuki. Killer B recognizes the name, while Karin once again is blind over her crush. The fight between Sasuke Uchiha and Killer B is about to begin.
Sasuke's reaction after learning the truth shows that he hasn't really changed from the person he was before. He still is self reliant, arrogant, selfish, vengeful, dark, and cold. He didn't learn nothing of what Itachi tried to teach him. If he thinks he can use Obito and Akatsuki he is delusional. And beginning with this wave of crimes only makes him like the rest of Akatsuki. He knows that the jinchuriki will die (surely Obito told him why he needs Killer B alive), that he is breaking another village's rules, and trying to capture an innocent person. But he doesn't care, he is acting and doing what Akatsuki does. And worst, he is doing this voluntarily. This is Sasuke's new way, and one could think he is caving his own grave alone, just like Hidan did. Anyway, there were interesting details on the episode, like the talk between Kisame and Obito. "Madara" didn't waste time, he used to control the Mizukage, and is indirectly responsible for all the past problems in that village, including what happened with Zabuza. The conversation with Zetsu tells that Obito always wanted Sasuke as a pawn to use. This makes Itachi's story saddest because he failed to save his brother. To finish, I like Killer B as a character. He brings some comedy after so much drama, but he is also a strong experienced warrior. He can be serious if he wants to, and like the future will prove, he gained the respect he deserves by his own.
