Naruto Shippuden Episode 491 Recap 

In Naruto Shippuden episode 491, Shikamaru failed to save his friend, Sai from Gengo. After successfully collecting a bunch of information from various people, Shikamaru, along with Ro and Soku ended up spying on a gathering of Gengo and his supporters. Gengo appeared in front of his supporters and later revealed Sai, who was tied up on a post. He then shouted “What shall this man’s fate be?”, to which his supporters replied by saying “Death.” Seeing that his friend is about to die, Shikamaru made a move.

Just when he was about to reach the place where Sai was, Gengo started revealing his plans regarding what he will do with the entire world. However, what he was saying appeared to be a spell, which hypnotized almost everyone, including Ro and Soku. Shikamaru on the other hand, was smart enough to counter his spell, so he wasn’t hypnotized at all. But his comrades, Ro and Soku were instantly captured by Gengo’s supporters.
