* UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom: Aoba Yamashiro ladies and gentlemen. He's the one to burst in just as Guy was trying to diffuse Sasuke's probing on why Kakashi was out of it and blurt out Itachi's return as well as his goal. This would have profound consequences for everyone going forward, especially in Sasuke's decision to abandon Konohagakure.
* VillainExitStageLeft:
** After Might Guy showed up to save Kakashi from Itachi and Kisame, they left the area, as they didn't want to attract any more attention from other ninjas, as it would be far too dangerous.
** After Jiraiya showed up to save Naruto from Itachi and Kisame, with the intent of killing them both, they knew that it would be risky to continue fighting against him, they managed to escape a Jutsu that's supposed to keep enemies from moving.
** Beaten by his fellow Sannin, Naruto and Shizune, Orochimaru flees with Kabuto.

The Return of Itachi isn't an arc in itself, just the beginning of the Search for Tsunade Arc according to the Naruto wiki. Thus, added the tropes from the Return of Itachi "arc".


After having not been seen in Konoha since he killed the Uchiha Clan, Sasuke's older brother Itachi returns. He and his partner Kisame fight Kurenai, Asuma, Kakashi, and Guy. Itachi reveals that he and Kisame are after the Nine-Tails in Naruto. He manages to put Kakashi into a coma with his Tsukuyomi before leaving. Meanwhile, Jiraiya takes Naruto out for some training. Sasuke finds out that Itachi is back and chases after him, having a flashback of how Itachi killed his Clan in the process. When Itachi goes for Naruto, Sasuke arrives and confronts him, but falls into a coma because of Itachi using the Tsukuyomi on him. Jiraiya arrives just in time however, and Itachi flees with Kisame.



* BigBadDuumvirate: Itachi and Kisame are both very strong, and while Itachi gives the orders, they're both equally the villain of the arc.
* BigBadEnsemble: Orochimaru on one side, Itachi and Kisame on another end up opposing Naruto for different reasons.



* CurbStompBattle: Tsunade vs Naruto. While it was no doubt he'd lose against her. She does it using just ''one finger''.

* {{Flashback}}:
** Jiraiya remembers his training with Hiruzen, Orochimaru, and Tsunade.
** Iruka remembers a time when Hiruzen comforted him.
** Sasuke remembers how Itachi killed the entire Uchiha Clan except him.


Added DiffLines:

* InterimVillain: Although Itachi is a major antagonist in the series, and his presence in Konoha with Kisame is really important to the overall story, Itachi and Kisame are mainly here this time to have something in between Orochimaru's attempt to destroy Konoha and Orochimaru's return later in the arc.


Added DiffLines:

* TheManBehindTheMan: There are higher ranking members of the Akatsuki behind Itachi and Kisame, but they don't appear in this arc.
* MeaningfulFuneral: The arc begins with the funeral of Hiruzen Sarutobi, the Third Hokage.
* MindRape: Itachi forces Sasuke and Kakashi into nightmares that put them into comas with his Tsukuyomi jutsu.


Added DiffLines:

* WhamEpisode: The Akatsuki is introduced, and Itachi utterly destroys everyone he fights, putting both Sasuke and Kakashi into comas. This arc was a massive shift in the story of Naruto.

* TookALevelInKindness: Due to the losses she suffered Tsunade is rather cynical about the idea of becoming Hokage and finds the whole idea riduculus.

* WorfHadTheFlu: All three of the Sanin are not exactly fighting at their best when they confront each other. Jiraiya comes to the battle against Orochimaru weakened as Tsunade had spiked his drink the night before.before. Orochimaru himself still can't use his jutsu thanks to his disabled arms. And Tsunade ends up being paralyzed by her fear of blood during her fight with Kabuto and gets hit by several Medical Nin attacks that do serious internal damage to her. Nonetheless the Sanin have one hell of a fight, including summoning their most powerful creatures, which goes to show just how powerful all three really are.
