Naruto tries to shield Sakura from an attack and is wounded by Kamikiri. Naruto laughs off his injury and counters with his Shadow Clone Jutsu...

Sakura is cornered by Orochimaru! Just as Kabuto is about to hurl his kunai at her, Naruto comes running in.

Jiraiya uses his Summoning Jutsu to call out Gamakichi. With Gamakichi leading the way, the shinobi advance up winding stairways and through long tunnels.

Naruto, Sakura and Sasame are attacked by Kamikiri, Jigumo and Kagero of the Fuma Clan. Jiraiya arrives just in time and joins in the fight.

Naruto, Sakura and Jiraiya search for information in a town in the Land of Rice Paddies. Naruto and Sakura leave Jiraiya and head toward the outskirts of town, where they meet Sasame, who is being pursued by an assailant.

Sakura tries to sneak out of the village to find Sasuke, but Naruto intercepts her.

The fierce battle with Sasuke leaves Naruto unconscious. Kakashi finally arrives at his side.

Naruto's Nine-Tail chakra seems to move with a will of its own as it counters Sasuke's powerful attacks.

Ukon, who is able to infiltrate the bodies of others, enters Kiba's body and tries to merge with his cells.

Shikamaru is determined to stop Tayuya, but she uses her Summoning Jutsu to call forth three giants. Meanwhile, on the plains, the battle between Kimimaro and Naruto is about to begin.

Akamaru sets explosives in the trees to trap Sakon. But an incensed Sakon turns the tables, and the explosives end up sending Kiba, Akamaru and Sakon off a cliff.

Naruto, Shikamaru, Kiba and Akamaru are in hot pursuit of Sasuke and the Sound ninja. Naruto and Kiba are upset that they have been unable to catch up and decide to try a surprise attack at night.

Kidomaru changes tactics and creates a bow and arrow to attack Neji's blind spot.

Neji takes on Kidomaru while the others continue their pursuit of Sasuke and the remaining Sound ninja.

Assuming that the Leaf squad could never get past Jirobo, the remaining Sound ninja don't bother to lay traps along the way.

After Choji takes the yellow pill it looks as if he may win the battle, until Jirobo transforms into Second State, giving him immense power.

After they are freed from the Earth Dome Prison, Shikamaru and the others take off after the remaining Sound while Choji stays behind.

Naruto and the others are trapped in Jirobo's Earth Dome Prison. They try to pound their way out, but the walls regenerate each time.

The Sound Ninja Four race toward Orochimaru's lair with Sasuke in hand. They're discovered and challenged by the jonin Genma and Raido...

Sakura's pleas fall on deaf ears, and Sasuke leaves Hidden Leaf Village. When Tsunade learns of this, she summons Shikamaru to lead his first mission as a chunin.
