Thank you

for

watching!

Hold it

Is that right?

Hate to disappoint you, hotshot, but I've got a new jutsu I've been working

too. Yeah,

me too.

All right, calm down.

First we make a plan and get everything ready.

Then we nail these bastards.

Looks like we've caught them napping.

Hold on.

Where's Sasuke?

He's in there.

Inside that coffin.

I thought I was flushing a snake out of the bushes, but all I got was a couple

of mice.

Wait a minute. Calm down.

We're here to negotiate, not to fight.

Can't we talk this over like reasonable people?

Let's not forget your friends, shall we?

What good's that gonna do? Throw all the smoke bombs you want. I've still got

you.

These threads are so fine, they're almost invisible.

But they're stronger than they look. You may have already encountered them in

the forest.

Darn it!

So that double trap of tripwires you set, in fact, was actually a triple

That was clever.

So I guess that makes you the smart one of the group.

You're about to be the dead one.

My body.

What's happening?

Man, that was perfect.

Keep it distracted, imp. You nailed him with your shadow possession jutsu.

Yeah, that's right.

You're not the only ones who can spring a trap. Thanks for making me look good

in front of the squad.

Appreciate it. Very impressive.

I'd be even more impressed if I hadn't mastered that technique as well.

Huh? What was that?

Earth Dial Barrier.

Terrific. What is this?

It's a barrier of some kind, and we're stuck in it.

Now what?

Since I'm the one who caught him, I get him.

Anyone else have a problem with that?

Go ahead.

But we're not waiting. When you're done with them, catch up with us.

Don't take all day.

Hey, you out there!

Let us out right now!

Yeah, like that's gonna help.

It seems to be nothing more than a dirt wall.

It's some kind of jutsu.

We should watch our step. It could be another trap within a trap.

The wall's a wall, and there's no wall I can't punch a hole through.

Yeah, it's worth a try, I guess.

After all, we do have to do something to fight the risk.

The damn wall is rebuilding itself.

Hey, did you just... Yeah, we saw it.

Let it go!

It appears to be more than just a dirt wall.

The wall it's what the wall is what?

It's absorbent, as if it were a sponge.

Huh?

Great.

If not enough, they bury us alive in this oversized dung heap. Now they're

trying to steal our chakra.

You've got to give these guys credit for thoroughness, at least.

No way.

For the meal, I've almost had my fill.

I feel like all my energy is draining out of me.

Something must be done, Shikamaru. And quickly.

Man,

I was an idiot to move in without knowing the full extent of the enemy's

Now we're trapped like rats.

That does it. Stand back, guys. I'm gonna bust out of here before my

all gone.

Akamaru!

Have a food pill.

Ninja art. Human mimicry.

And that's for me. Ninja art. Beast mimicry.

Knock yourself out.

Look

at

that. As soon as the crack appears, it repairs itself.

Same with the ground beneath it.

I'd give us about ten more minutes of this before our chakras completely

drained.

No use!

I need all my energy to focus for the Rasengan.

There's no way in here.

I've lost... Too much chakra as it is.

Hey out there, let me talk to your leader.

I've got a deal to propose.

What I'm thinking is that you let us out of this thing, and in return we let you

keep Sasuke.

Huh? But Shikamaru, what are you doing?

My favorite part, when they start pleading for their life.

No deal. I've never let a captive go before. I'm not about to start now.

Oh, come on.

Listen. How about you just let me go and keep the others?

All this fighting.

I'm tired of it. It's really not my thing.

You little... If you're selling us out, I'm going to wring your neck.

Shut up, Kiva. For once in your life.

What did you say?

So much for teamwork.

So you're really the leader, huh? What a fine example you're setting for the

rest of your team.

You see a man's true character when he's pushed to the edge of death.

But you're hardly a man at all.

Certainly not one who's worthy of leading a team of ninja into battle.

I saved the most important thing of all for last.

Sacrificing Sasuke and the rest of your squad.

So that's how I leave Chuninak.

All the same, Sasuke's a ninja belonging to the Hidden Leaf Village.

He's a comrade.

And I'll put my life on the line to help him. That's the way of our village.

Did you really believe I might let you out?

You deserve to die.

That does it, Shikamaru, you dirty little traitor! Let's take this outside!

Just you and me! What do you mean, take this outside?

How are you going to do that, you idiot? We're trapped in here.

What'd you call me? I called you an idiot, idiot.

That's what I thought you said.

That's enough.

Everybody just shut up.

Huh?

Joji?

What are you doing now? Meditating or something? Why is he just squatting

You gotta be kidding me! Is that all you ever think about?

That's Choji for you.

Responds to the crisis by stuffing his face.

He's a real big help.

Forget this! I'm gonna give Shadow Clones a try!

Don't bother.

That ninja has infused this wall with chakra so that it repairs itself.

Your Shadow Clones won't work.

You'll only deplete your own chakra.

The fact is, multiple attacks won't work. Our only hope is Taijutsu strong

enough to destroy it in one blow.

Well, Choji has Taijutsu with a knockout punch even stronger than mine, but just

look at him.

He's got other things on his mind.

Come on!

What are we going to do, just stand here?

Neji, I need you to focus those eyes of yours on the wall directly behind you

and directly behind Choji. Do you think you have enough chakra left for that?

I think so.

Hold on!

You're not going to listen to him! Naruto!

You still don't get it, do you? Don't you remember what Shikamaru said when we

came together as a team?

I know I usually seem like a pretty lazy guy, but not today.

Because now I'm responsible for your lives, too.

Okay, Choji.

Try and keep your voice down, will ya?

Kiba, are you up for trying to put another dent in the wall behind Choji?

Well, sure, I guess.

I don't know what's going on, but I'm always up for getting wild.

Holy fang!

Ain't that a lot more presentable than a brain?

Okay. Now, Neji, mark the spot with your kunai knife, will you?

Choji, are you ready, buddy?

Shikamaru, I was born ready.

Good. Then let's get started.

Wait, let's get what started?

As I said a moment ago, this wall surrounding us has been infused with

However, the strength of the chakra won't be uniform.

Some points in the wall must be weaker than others.

Shikamaru was able to figure that out.

He did?

Really? You could have fooled me. When the heck was this?

He's been watching and taking it in.

For example, when Kiba and Akamaru attacked the wall.

While you were watching, he was studying the wall. And he observed that some

areas repaired themselves more slowly than others.

That led him to suspect that it was at those points that the chakra was the

weakest.

Still, he needed to be sure.

That's why he spoke to our captor as he did.

It was a ruse to trick him into giving away his position.

And it worked, confirming that Shikamaru's suspicions were right.

The band of chakra running through the wall was thinnest and weakest at the

point opposite his position.

That's about right, isn't it?

And all the time we thought he was selling us out.

Gotta hand it to him. He not only fooled the enemy, he had us going too.

And here we thought Choji was stuffing his face again, when he was really just

trying to replenish his chakra.

These two guys, I guess they haven't been working as a team all this time for

nothing.

It's up to you, Choji.

Okay!

Well, Joji, there's no other way of saying it.

That was awful.

Choggy, are you nuts?

Keep his wife. That's crazy.

Choggy has a point. If we waste too much time here, we risk losing Foxgate.

Yeah, but... Calm down. I have a plan, okay? Are you thinking what I'm

Yeah. What?

What are you thinking? You sure?

Definitely. It's time to unveil my secret weapon.

Next time, full throttle power.

Choggy Ablaze. Just leave it to me.

Chubbies rule!
