Thank you for watching!

Revolutionary.

It's up to you, children.

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

That was awesome.

They managed to escape my barrier ninjutsu.

He's by himself.

Guess the others went on ahead.

You're correct.

They're nowhere to be seen.

Swell. And just when I thought we finally caught up to them.

Not a bad bit of handiwork, you guys.

Or a bunch of losers.

What? Who are you calling losers?

Now that we're out, you're both pals.

Out of the way! This guy's mine!

Wait, you two, stop!

There's no way we can take him head on. It's too dangerous.

We just tore through this clown's barrier. How tough can he be?

I'm gonna eat you guys for lunch. Try it.

You

wouldn't

even do with an appetizer.

Careful, everyone.

This guy's just getting warmed up.

Earth -style barrier.

Earth, don't trip us.

Expansion!

Human? Oh, no!

Huh.

Hardly worth the effort.

We're running out of time.

There's no choice. We gotta split up.

What'd be the point in that?

No, he's right.

With all our chakra taken away, even with the five of us against him, he's

going to be easy to take out.

And with every second that passes, Sasuke gets closer to the border.

Once he crosses it, it will all be out of our hands.

So we should split into two groups, one to stop him and one to follow Sasuke.

You'll head the second team. Okay, Neji?

So there you are.

Neji. You take Kiba and Choji and head out after Sasuke.

You've got it.

Naruto,

you and I'll handle this guy.

What are you gonna do, play with my shadow again?

Don't waste my time, kid.

You already showed me your little parlor trick and once was enough.

That's funny. I seem to remember someone around here getting taken in by that

parlor trick.

He's disappeared.

He's behind us!

up, you guys. There's another one coming.

You're in charge of this ragtag bunch, am I right?

When you've got an idiot for a leader, the whole team suffers.

Know what I mean?

You don't want to follow a guy like this? Let me get rid of him for you.

Thanks.

Joji. Oh, I try to help you guys out and look what you do.

I don't know which is more pathetic, the fool or those who follow him.

Tell you what, you don't want to keep working under this glum -faced little

shadow lover.

I'll just kill you now and put you out of your misery.

It's time for you to shut your big mouth or I'll come shut it for you.

This guy is mine.

But Joji... What the heck are you talking about? This isn't the kind of

can take on your own. He's mine, I said.

Yeah, but Joji, you're...

Shikamaru, take these food pills for

everyone.

Joji, you're not gonna... Uh -huh.

Don't worry, I've got my secret weapon with me.

Yeah, but Joji, this is... Oh, this is priceless.

You think I'm gonna wait forever?

Heads up!

Enough of this! I'm taking you all out right here!

Get going! Hurry!

Pills? Those aren't food pills.

So what are they?

First, the green spinach pill.

Get out of my way, you joke!

Impossible!

Stop me!

Shimaru! Take everybody and get out of here!

Jody.

You better catch up with us, Choji.

You hear me?

Yeah!

Get out of here!

Go already!

All right, let's move, you guys.

Right!

Choji.

Once I finally finish you off here, kid, you're friends are gonna be next.

That might not be as easy as you think it is.

Pardon gift from Choji.

Eat up.

Got it.

We owe you one, Choji.

Kiba!

Thanks, Naruto.

Shikamaru, that certain pill we saw Choji take back there, it seemed like

sort of last -minute trump card.

Do you really think he can win?

Yeah, I mean, he said he had some sort of secret weapon on him.

Don't worry, Choji's got a plan up his sleeve.

He brought along with him the Akimichi clan's secret triple threat.

Pills that grant a person explosive power.

There are three of them. Green, yellow, and red.

The amount of energy that each of those pills contains is absolutely massive.

Oh, I gotcha. So that's why he was acting so confident.

Yeah, but any pill that works that well always comes with side effects.

I hope we can settle things with the Green Pell alone.

Just don't take the red one, Joji.

Whatever you do.

I'm gonna finish this all in one blow.

He's upped his rotation, destructive power, by using those kunai -like

Earth -style terror shield!

Yeah, I know. I was just thinking the same thing myself.

What do you mean?

What is he saying?

You know how Akamaru can tell an enemy's strength just by his scent, right?

He's pretty worried that Choji might not be able to take on that gargantuan

alone with just those pills to help him.

He's right, Pibi.

If we're looking at it objectively, that giant's ability is an unknown.

The chances of Choji defeating him may be close to zero.

However, that's very often the case in battle.

Don't get carried away, you little fool.

ever told you in every team of five there's always somebody in the mix who's

just dead weight the guy who's always the butt of everyone's jokes and when

thick comes to thin he gets cast aside like the worthless pawn he is

that's who you are

look joji you've got to stop thinking about

food do some training for once

Ridiculous stunts like this are why everyone always makes fun of you.

You're such a fag.

But for this kind of thing, don't you think your first choice should be

like Shino?

Come on. I mean, how youthful can you be?

Seriously.

No matter how?

I try on my own.

I...

Looks

like I hit it right on the nose.

It looks as though the leaf village is running short on ninja.

If they're sending out bunglers like you to be part of a search team.

What do you say we put an end to this?

Knee slam!

Shoulder charge!

A loser right to the end.

You started out well, but that backbone you showed sure didn't last long.

You're the epitome of failure.

It's not your fault they never should have sent a reject like you in the first

place.

You should blame your stupid leader for choosing you.

Shikamaru. Neji is right.

That's just how a battle is.

We knew from the beginning this mission wouldn't be child's play.

It's life or death.

Yeah, but Shikamaru... I've already anticipated the worst case scenario

each of us ends up fighting alone.

And at this point, if we're not ready to lay down our lives for this... We might

not be able to reach Sasuke in time.

Choji is good enough to hold his own, but he doesn't have a lot of confidence.

He thinks that out of all of us, he's the weakest link.

That's because the guy kinda is. I mean, anyone can see that.

That's pretty much the whole reason he stayed behind back there. Because he

wanted to be of some kind of use to us.

Just as I thought.

Huh?

But...

Kyoji

and I have been on the same team for a long time.

We work well together, so asking him's a no -brainer.

But, Shikamaru...

But I'm probably not as good a fighter as you are.

I mean, really. If I had been facing off against you, I probably would have

given up the fight.

And you should just keep being you.

But... Shikamaru... He's always...

Huh?

Shikamaru... He's always believed in me.

Choji, are you ready, buddy?

He believes I really am strong.

That's why he trusted me to handle this myself!

Just as I thought.

Everyone's always thought that way about Choji.

But me?

I've always known the real truth.

More than me or Neji, or any of us here, Choji's got strength.

I believe in him. I always have.

Huh. Pretty aggressive chakra.

Not bad.

But a far cry from being a main dish.

Here I come back, though!

Don't you call me that!

Partial expansion shoots through!

Because of all the pain, I didn't think the side effects of the pill would be so

powerful. What do I do?

I only have the one pill left.

But if I take it, if I take it, there's no question I'll... Next time! Goodbye,

old friend!

I'll always believe in you!

I won't forgive him, no matter what!
