Naruto, Vol. 62: The Crack refers to the moment the main antagonist's carefully constructed plan begins to fail, or "crack," under the pressure of the Allied Shinobi Forces. This volume focuses on the battle's strategic and emotional fallout, specifically the final, heartbreaking conversation between Sasuke Uchiha and the re-sealed Itachi Uchiha. With the control over the resurrected army broken, the volume returns to the chaotic main battlefield as the heroes try to gain momentum. The primary focus is on the emotional turmoil that leads Sasuke to make a pivotal, world-changing decision about the path he will choose next.
