Ch. 87Why... Can't I Do Anything?!

Chapter Summary

Key Plot Points and Events

  • Obito reflects on Xuan Yu’s reminder that he once dreamed of becoming Hokage. Instead of reconsidering his path, Obito rejects his former ideals completely.
  • He concludes that becoming Hokage or serving the Leaf Village cannot create a world where Rin is alive and everyone is happy. He recommits himself to using the Ten-Tails and Infinite Tsukuyomi to impose his ideal world.
  • Obito gathers the Sharingan he stole, discovering that he obtained only about 11% of the number he expected because Xuan Yu now protects the Uchiha Clan. He decides not to risk returning to retrieve more eyes.
  • Acknowledging that Xuan Yu counters his abilities and could defeat him again, Obito begins planning around Xuan Yu as a major obstacle. He remains confident that the Infinite Tsukuyomi will eventually neutralize him.
  • In the Land of Rain, Pain decides that Xuan Yu and Kakuzu’s vacation has lasted long enough and that they should return to handle the Small Nations Alliance project.
  • Konan informs Pain of two astonishing developments: Madara has returned to the Leaf Village, and the Uchiha Clan has defected from Konoha.
  • Pain suspects that Xuan Yu was involved, comparing these events to the earlier political upheaval in the Land of Snow. Rather than fearing Xuan Yu, Pain becomes more convinced that he is a powerful and valuable asset to Akatsuki.
  • Outside Konoha, young Sasuke trains desperately but collapses in frustration after realizing how weak he is. Xuan Yu then appears and calls him a “darkening elementary schooler,” offering to intervene.

Character Developments

  • Obito: Suffers a deeper psychological collapse. Xuan Yu’s words do not redeem him; instead, they force him to sever his connection with his childhood self. He becomes more rigid, ruthless, and committed to the Infinite Tsukuyomi, while also recognizing that Xuan Yu is an opponent he cannot underestimate.
  • Pain/Nagato: Shows strategic judgment by identifying which Akatsuki members are reliable for political work. His reaction to Xuan Yu shifts toward admiration and calculated interest, as he sees him as an exceptional figure whose abilities may benefit the organization.
  • Konan: Acts as a dependable intelligence source, though even she struggles to believe the reports about Madara and the Uchiha defection.
  • Sasuke: Grows more cynical and power-focused. Alienated by both his family and Konoha, he begins to believe that overwhelming strength is the only way to correct injustice, defeat Itachi, and force others to stop mistreating him.
  • Xuan Yu: Continues to influence major political and personal events indirectly. His protection of the Uchiha has weakened Obito’s plans, while his reputation has grown within Akatsuki and among Sasuke’s ideals.

Significant Themes

  • Failed redemption: The same truth that might save someone can instead push them further into darkness if they are emotionally incapable of accepting it.
  • Power and helplessness: Both Obito and Sasuke respond to suffering by seeking greater power, believing strength is the only solution to injustice and loss.
  • Ideals corrupted by trauma: Obito transforms his dream of protecting others into a plan to control the entire world, while Sasuke begins turning his desire for justice into an obsession with strength and revenge.
  • Political instability and hidden influence: Xuan Yu’s actions reshape the Land of Snow, Konoha, the Uchiha Clan, and Akatsuki despite his often indirect involvement.
  • The danger of isolation: Obito and Sasuke both become increasingly detached from their former identities and relationships, making their extreme beliefs harder to challenge.

Character Interactions

  • Xuan Yu and Obito: Their previous confrontation continues to affect Obito. Xuan Yu’s observation about Obito’s childhood dream unintentionally deepens his fall rather than awakening him.
  • Pain and Konan: Konan reports the latest intelligence, and Pain analyzes whether Xuan Yu caused the upheaval in Konoha. Their exchange highlights mutual trust and Akatsuki’s dependence on their judgment.
  • Xuan Yu and Sasuke: The chapter ends with Xuan Yu finding Sasuke at his lowest point and teasingly addressing him. This sets up a likely mentor-like or intervention-oriented interaction, with Xuan Yu poised to challenge Sasuke’s growing obsession with strength.

  • Genba brings Sasuke to the Xuan Yu Tutoring Class, driving him to a training ground in a green jeep.

  • Comedy through dangerous absurdity: The chapter uses exaggerated situations—modern vehicles in the Naruto world, Genba wearing Tobirama’s face, and running students over with a car—to turn serious character development into slapstick.
  • Childhood bonds and emotional isolation: Sasuke’s alienation from his clan, Naruto’s attempts to support him, and Hinata’s silent jealousy emphasize how childhood relationships shape future loyalties.
  • Power and fragility: Genba argues that ninjas who neglect taijutsu are physically vulnerable “glass cannons,” using the vehicle drill to force the students to improve their reactions and durability.

4. Character Interactions

  • Genba initially reprimands Sasuke but quickly shifts into the role of an admired mentor.
  • Sasuke respectfully greets Izumi and Kakashi, treating both as teachers because of Genba’s authority.

  • Izumi’s gentle attitude contrasts with Genba’s sadistic training style, while Kakashi reacts with growing suspicion and fear.
  • Naruto repeatedly reaches out to Sasuke despite Sasuke’s proud and distant behavior.
  • Hinata watches Naruto and Sasuke from hiding, feeling jealous but too shy to join them.
  • Genba turns the supposed training session into a chaotic exercise in evading a speeding jeep, especially tormenting Kakashi while claiming it will improve their taijutsu.

    • Sasuke awakens his Two-Tomoe Sharingan while facing the jeep, disproving the idea that he lacks Sharingan talent.

  • Xuan Yu dismisses the class and returns the jeep to the Kamui Dimension. He reprimands Saiken for interfering with his seeds before reflecting on the source of the students’ rapid taijutsu growth.
  • He concludes that their improvement is likely a weaker version of the “Wandering Lion” talent, which causes rapid growth through harsh combat and suffering.
  • Xuan Yu wonders whether Izumi may have learned the powerful Cosmic Phantom Beast Fist and considers giving her the Beta Spark Lens so she could transform and use the technique as a giant Ultraman-like warrior.
  • After spending his disciples’ tuition on a system recharge, Xuan Yu realizes he has no money left for food and decides to mooch a meal from someone else.
  • Meanwhile, at the Uchiha temporary encampment, Fugaku receives the bodies of Uchiha clansmen secretly taken by Root and the Anbu. Their Sharingan have been removed, leaving them with hollow eye sockets.
  • Furious, Fugaku declares that the Uchiha will never forget this blood feud. The accompanying Anbu officer, Sarutobi Manyu, mocks him and belittles the displaced clan.
  • Xuan Yu suddenly appears, restrains Manyu, and threatens him for insulting Fugaku and the Uchiha.

Character Developments

  • Sasuke: Displays remarkable Sharingan potential by awakening the Two-Tomoe Sharingan under extreme fear. He also obediently pays Xuan Yu, sacrificing even his ramen money.
  • Kakashi: Gains substantial physical improvement through the training, opening two of the Eight Inner Gates. However, the experience leaves him psychologically terrified of Xuan Yu and eager to escape his lessons.

Significant Themes

  • Growth through suffering: The chapter presents extreme pain and danger as catalysts for physical and spiritual development, especially in taijutsu and Sharingan evolution.

  • Exploitation and dehumanization: The stolen Sharingan and desecrated corpses depict the Uchiha as resources to be harvested, intensifying the clan’s sense of persecution.
  • Comedy amid tragedy: Xuan Yu’s tuition demands, bizarre training methods, and casual remarks contrast sharply with the grim Uchiha storyline.
  • Power and intimidation: Xuan Yu’s overwhelming strength allows him to humiliate both his students and hostile Leaf officials, positioning him as an unpredictable force capable of disrupting the existing political balance.

Character Interactions

  • Xuan Yu teases and intimidates Kakashi, Izumi, and Sasuke while simultaneously improving their abilities. Their shared fear of the jeep and its “Cane Demon” instructor creates a humorous bond.

  • Xuan Yu reflects on Izumi’s possible future transformation, imagining her using the Cosmic Phantom Beast Fist as a giant warrior.
