Naruto Shippuden Episode 43: Sakura’s tears

Kabuto comments that Naruto’s state is a consequence of his desperation to bring back Sasuke, and Sakura has a few flashbacks of Naruto swearing to bring Sasuke back to her. She begins to cry and approaches Naruto but is injured when his attention turns to her. Yamato uses the mokuton jutsu to bind Naruto before he does any more harm. Kabuto heals Sakura, reasoning that the Konoha ninja are not Orochimaru’s enemies because they are also fighting Akatsuki. Yamato uses the abilities of the 1st Hokage to forcibly return Naruto to his normal state. Meanwhile Sai confronts Orochimaru with a message from Danzo. Orochimaru responds by piercing Sai with his sword.
