Father and Son, the Broken Crest

" Father and Son, the Broken Crest " ( 父と子　ひび割れた家紋 , Chichi to Ko Hibiwareta Kamon ) is episode 130 of the original Naruto anime.

## Synopsis [ ]

Naruto rises from Sasuke 's attack and taunts him to use the Sharingan , as he would still be defeated by the power of his Nindō . Naruto creates shadow clones to fight him, but they’re taken care of in a matter of seconds. Sasuke then uses the Great Fireball Technique .

As his recollection of his childhood continued, Itachi 's standing in the clan began to falter due to his apparent turning against them. As such, Fugaku started taking a more active interest in Sasuke's development. To give Sasuke proper membership into the clan, his father taught him the Great Fireball Technique, which he rapidly mastered after constant practice. As Sasuke spent more time with him, Fugaku told him not to follow in Itachi's footsteps, the former prodigy having lost the clan's confidence. Finally getting recognition, Sasuke put even more time into training, determined to become better than Itachi.

Having trouble with his Shuriken Jutsu, Sasuke asks Itachi to help train him as his brother heads out the house. He replies that he’s busy, before tapping Sasuke’s forehead. Watching him leave, Sasuke’s glad he seemingly hasn’t changed too much. Later, he asks his father about Sharingan, wanting to master it as well. Fugaku tells him about the Mangekyo Sharingan , that only two members of the Uchiha Clan have possessed so far. It’s activated only under very specific circumstances.

Back in the present, Naruto hides behind a bush while Sasuke coaxes him about his naivety. He lands multiple punches and a final crushing blow to Naruto’s ribs before he’s plummeted into the water beneath them.

## Trivia [ ]
