Naruto Shippuuden 134 lays the groundwork for a series of epic battles by some of the most interesting characters in the cast. First we have Naruto and his team facing off with Tobi. We also have Sasuke finally confronting his brother, Itachi. If they will base the fights on the Manga, then the next few episodes should be nothing short of explosive!

NARUTO SHIPPUUDEN 134
The episode starts off a bit slow but eventually picks up pace when we see Sasuke walking inside a dark cave and he meets his brother Itachi, The two have an exchange of words before Sasuke makes a move, impaling Itachi with a Chidori-like sword attack. However, Itachi is just an illusion. Before he fades away, the illusion tells Sasuke to meet him alone in the old Uchiha hideout where they will finally put an end to their sibling rivalry.

Sasuke gathers the troops and heads out. On his way to the hideout, he’s finally spotted by one of the clones of Naruto. Without any hesitation, Sasuke destroys the clone with a Chidori and speedily moves along. Naruto picks up on his trail and alerts the Konoha team. However they’re stopped on their tracks and blocked from moving onward by the mysterious and insanely Akatsuki member, Tobi (of course we all know better, right?).

Tobi literally plays around with the entire team, using a teleportation-like jutsu to move around quickly and avoiding almost all of the attacks Naruto throws.

Back to Sasuke’s team, they’re also stopped by Kisame. Sasuke gets permission to move forward but the rest of the team has to stay back. Episode ends with Sasuke finally making his way to Itachi and Naruto trying to figure out a way on how to move past Tobi.

I really can’t wait for Naruto Shippuuden 135! Hopefully the fight between Itachi and Sasuke starts already. I’d hate for the next episode to be a boring and long conversation between the two which actually intros the actual fight in another ep.
