Naruto Shippuden resumes with the second part of Sasuke Sunrise story, which took place before the Fourth Great Shinobi War and his battle with Naruto. Episode 485 titled Book of Sunrise - Coliseum focuses on Sasuke's mission to know more about the organization behind the exploding humans that attacked the Hidden Leaf Village and a Bamboo Village.
Quick Recap for Episode 486 Book of Sunrise - Coliseum:
-Sasuke sends a report to the Sixth Hokage Kakashi about the exploding human, informing him that he wants to investigate the case independently. Sasuke wanted to take on the mission solo, but after hearing the plea of Chino and Nowaki, he eventually decided to let the two join him and head to Orochimaru's hideout for some intel.
-At the entrance of Orochimaru's hideout, Sasuke met Yamato who was assigned to monitor Orochimaru's activities. Sasute eventually got a pass from Yamato after telling him his mission is for the sake of Konoha.
-Orochimaru then informed Sasuke his knowledge about a certain kenkai gekkai collector in the name of Oyashiro. He then joined Sasuke's group and led them to a hidden island, where the rich can gamble freely.
-At the Coliseum, they witnessed how shinobis battle each other for entertainment and gambling purposes. Each shinobi warrior represents their masters who are usually of wealthy upbringing.
-In an attempt to draw Oyashiro out of his shell, Orochimaru signed Sasuke up as contestant in the underground shinobi tournament. Hesitant at first, Sasuke eventually steps in the ring to face Oyashiro's warrior, Fushin. Just before the battle starts, another exploding human appears.
