What episode is "The Izanami Activated" in Naruto Shippuden?
"The Izanami Activated" is episode 337 of Naruto Shippuden.
Itachi and Sasuke confront Kabuto, who reveals enhanced powers and traps them in a challenging genjutsu. However, they find a way to turn the tables by trapping Kabuto in an endless illusion, escalating the strategic battle.
Casting aside Itachi's lectures to him, Kabuto reveals he assimilated more than just Orochimaru's DNA as he creates a construct of Sakon from the base of his navel snake to utilize the powers the of the Sound Five. Although easily countering Kabuto's attacks at first, Itachi and Sasuke find themselves trapped in Tayuya's genjutsu so he can finish them off with a white snake Orochimaru construct. Though the brothers manages to escape the genjutsu and fend the snake off, Kabuto emerges from the serpent's mouth and bisects Itachi with the snake sage tearfully stating his superiority before attempting to regain control over the reanimated ninja. As his body reforms, Itachi called out to Sasuke as he threw his sword at Kabuto, only for the snake sage to block and then counter. Kabuto then attacks Itachi with the sword and claimed that his genjutsu cannot affect him. But upon realizing a sense of déjà vu in the brothers' attack pattern, having claimed to be immune to such a trick, Kabuto learns that he is trapped with his mind via the endless loop of the Uchiha Clan's genjutsu Izanami.
