Before you continue to read, let me warn you that there'll be spoilers.

Plot

In Naruto Shippuuden, Naruto returns from his training with Jiraiya. Naruto's friends were now chuunins, and few of them are already jounins. At that time, Akatsuki also started hunting powerful Bijuu (Tailed Beasts) that were sealed within people (they're called Jinchuriki). Naruto's Kyubi is one of the Bijuu that is being targeted by Akatsuki. They were able to successfully capture 7 tailed beasts. Once the tailed beasts are extracted from their Jinchuriki, the person eventually dies. Gaara, the Kazekage and also one of Naruto's friends, got his Bijuu extracted from him. Gaara died but was revived by one of the elders of his village. Kakashi at that time was severely wounded so Tsunade, the Hokage (also one of the Legendary Sannin), assigned two people to be in Naruto's team for  precautions against Akatsuki, Sai (Sasuke's replacement) was an ANBU from the root division and Yamato (also an ANBU). They make the Team Kakashi.  On the other hand, Sasuke has become stronger and killed Orochimaru. He created a group (namely 'Hebi') with the objectives to go after Uchiha Itachi and take his revenge. He killed his brother, however, the Akatsuki's founder, Tobi, told Sasuke the truth about Itachi. Sasuke discovered that Itachi killed the entire clan under the instructions given to him by the higher ups of Konoha. Itachi couldn't bring himself to kill Sasuke and spared his life. He was labeled as a traitor and after all that, Itachi joined the Akatsuki to spy and keep track of the organization's movements. Saddened by his brother's death, Sasuke decided to destroy Konoha instead of carrying his brother's will. He renamed the group he's leading to 'Taka' with the objective to destroy the village.  Several Akatsuki member were defeated by Konoha ninjas including the leader Pain. He was defeated by Naruto and was called the hero of the village. During their battle, Naruto was able to meet his father, Minato, which is the Fourth Hokage. However, Tobi disguised himself as Uchiha Madara and declared war against all shinobi. He wished to obtain all nine tailed beasts to perform an illusion powerful enough to control humanity. The 5 kage/ leaders of ninja villages : Mizukage, Kazekage, Tsuchikage, Raikage and Hokage, decided to join forces to defeat Uchiha Madara. At that time Naruto was trained by the Jinchuriki of the Eight Tailed Beast to control the Kyubi. During the training, he met his mother, Ushina, who helped him against the Kyubi. Kabuto, who took some of Orochimaru's corpse, also joined the war but he was on Tobi's side. Soon they were able to learn that Tobi is not the real Uchiha Madara because the real Madara was revived by Edo Tensei (reanimation). Tobi was actually Uchiha Obito, former subordinate of Kakashi. He was supposed to be dead but he was saved by the real Uchiha Madara. Itachi was also revived by Edo Tensei and by that, Sasuke got to talk to him. Sasuke searched for the truth and real legacy of Konoha by having Orochimaru revived and initiate Edo Tensei to the four Hokage. After learning the history of the village, Sasuke, together with his group 'Taka', Orochimaru and the four Hokage, decided to join the war to stop Uchiha Madara and Obito. Team 7 was reunited at this point. Obito converted back on the good side but Madara was consumed by total darkness and Kaguya, the progenitor of chakra, appeared before them. With the new powers given by the sage of the six paths to Naruto and Sasuke, they were able to take down Kaguya and save everyone. After the war, Naruto and Sasuke settled their long awaited battle at the place where they have fought before.  The two of them fought until they were too injured to continue with their fight. After that,  Sasuke was able to change. 

Remarks/Comments:

A lot has happened and there's lots of conflicts going on. The truth was unraveled slowly. The real story between Naruto's parents has been shown as well. It really brought me to tears when I watched the part where Naruto was hugged by her mom. The battle against Obito and Uchiha Madara was really awesome because they had the four dead Hokage to their side and the 5 kage of different villages. Sasuke also joined the fight to defend the shinobis. Moreover, the tailed beasts were befriended by Naruto and aided him on the fight. One of my favorite scenes is when Sakura, Sasuke and Naruto did the Summoning technique together during the battle.  I've been rooting for Hinata and Naruto from the very beginning so the ending of the manga was very satisfying. The anime has lots of extras and flashbacks of previous missions so I found it a little boring but it's still good. You need to watch the anime and read the manga.  <3
