Thank you. Thank

you.

We're getting close.

That's strange.

It's been quite a long time and we still haven't encountered a single trap.

Well, Shikamaru, what's your assessment?

It looks to me like we've been underestimated.

They're cocky.

They think we're all dead now, and their big guy's the only one following them.

They don't need to set a trap for their own man, do they?

Those idiots!

They think we're so weak!

It seems you're right about our enemy, Shikamaru.

And it's insulting to be underestimated like this.

But still, this could be our chance.

I hear ya.

Now we can take him by surprise.

Your opponent is me!

Zerobo's pretty late, isn't he?

He was, but he just arrived.

Well, it's about time. You were gone a while. What took so long?

Sorry.

It took longer than I thought to eat all that loser's chakra.

Listen, fat sir.

Don't slow us down so you can eat more.

You see that coffin?

You're the one who's supposed to be carrying it. So do your job, you slob.

Okay.

Well, well, Jerobo.

Aren't you awfully easygoing today?

Yes, so what?

Well, it's just that I'm not going to be handing over this coffin to you.

Because you're not the real Jerobo!

Let me take down this one, fellas.

Suck on. Go on.

I'll catch up.

The real Jirobo is always scolding Tayuya about her rather coarse language.

You got me.

Ninja Art! Spider Web Neck!

Ninja art! Spiral spider web!

Naruto!

Kiba! Akamaru!

Now's your chance!

When he's in mid -air like that, there's no way he can fight back!

Fang over Fang!

I won't let you get away!

You stole my line, punk.

You should look down at your feet.

You coward!

Do you really think you can stop us that easily?

Why don't you shut up?

Where is he?

What could that fat still be doing?

It stinks!

We did leave the weakest one behind to take care of those brats. Perhaps that

was a mistake.

Might.

Nachi, no!

He's stuck!

Darn it. He got me, Naruto, Kiba, and Nachi. We followed the plan, but it's

working.

How'd you like to see the inside of an airtight cocoon?

No!

Come on! Come on!

What the heck's this thread made out of?

I can't cut it!

It's useless!

Spider silk is so powerful, nothing can break it. Two elephants couldn't pull it

apart.

That one's able to use shadow clone.

No matter what I do, this thread keeps sticking to me.

This stickiness must come from combining his chakra with some sort of fluid.

And the strength is unreal.

Even after he releases the thread, his chakra is still blowing through it,

giving it power.

Impossible. The level of this jutsu is out of this world.

It's unstoppable.

No, wait.

I've got to calm down.

Focus my charge.

Ninja art! Sticky spider thread!

That's a different color from the thread he used before.

What's he gonna do?

I

see.

It's solidifying.

Since you'll be my first victim, let's make this entertaining.

I'm going to play a little game to find out which one of you is the real one.

What did you just say?

Contestant one, let's try you at the end.

No, Naruto.

Oh, well, looks like he was the clone. No problem. Let's try another.

Whichever you are, you're pretty lucky.

Next, let's try two at a time. The odds will be doubled in my favor.

You

are

a very lucky guy, you know that? But this time I got a 50 -50 shot.

Here it comes!

Well, somehow he made it all the way to the bitter end.

Well, weakling, it was fun playing with you. But unfortunately, the game's over

for you now.

Now die!

One down and three to go.

Wait, where did he...

course. He let his shadow clones get caught, while the real one hid and

for a chance to catch me off guard.

For a wimp like that to come up with such a deception in the heat of battle,

he's not so dumb after all.

However... It looks like you're at

the end of your rope!

How did he... Naruto!

Thanks for stalling him for me. I trapped you.

How did you get free?

Your spider web had a chakra base.

And chakra -built substances don't stand a chance against my gentle fist attack.

This guy's jutsu.

I think I'm the only one who can handle it.

Go on, you guys.

I'll take care of him.

What's wrong, buddy?

Hey, wait, Akamaru!

Well... Looks like this guy's stronger than that big guy we fought before.

Much stronger.

We're going to have to go one -on -one to have any chance for success.

Isn't that what you said?

Yeah.

That's what we agreed.

And besides, if we all stay here, we won't be able to catch up with Sasuke.

But what about Choji? He hasn't come back.

We all embarked on this mission to find Sasuke and bring him back home to the

village.

But that's not the only reason that we've come.

We are on this mission to protect a fellow shinobi.

To defend the bond of the Hidden Leaf Village.

At the third Hokage's funeral, when Iruka spoke...

Do you remember his words?

Yuruka -sensei, why do they do it?

Why do people risk their lives for other people?

Well, when someone passes away, it's the end.

His past and future, all the dreams he once had.

They disappear along with him.

This is true even if he dies honorably in battle, as so many have, as

Hayate did.

All the ties that bind him to the living are severed. All but one, the most

important of all, people.

Parents, siblings, friends, lovers, the people who are important to him.

And these people, the ones left behind, are joined together in a great circle by

their shared memories of him.

A circle of friendship, trust, and sacrifice that grows larger and stronger

time passes.

It's hard to explain it.

We remain in the circle together.

We have no choice.

It's important to us.

Sasuke's out there right now, heading toward Orochimaru.

We can't allow such evil to take someone from our village.

That is not our way.

What's more...

Naruto.

Sometimes your eyes are even better than mine.

Wherever he is... Thothke is in the darkness.

Now, get going!

I'll be right behind you.

Well, all right.

Let's do this thing.

When you catch up with us, make sure you bring Choji, too.

Of course I will.

I'd better see you again.

Oh no you don't!

Yakugan!

Good. This is gonna be fun.

Yep,

that's him, alright.

Not so fast.

I won't let you escape that easily.

If you want them, you'll have to go through me.

Not good enough.

Well, that's just fine by me.

Besides, you're by far the strongest one of the lot.

Oh, man.

I'm really itching to play with you. And we should play slowly, or else the

game's not as fun.

Okay, the game is I'll kill you in three minutes or less.

You're not going anywhere.

For a wimp, you're pretty good at handling chakra, aren't you?

And those eyes of yours are pretty sharp.

You fire off chakra from the chakra points in your hands like a sharp

Then you target the thin part of my thread with chakra running through it

strike there.

Yes, I heard this from Lord Orochimaru.

It's the technique you call gentle fist, right?

But if you can't use those annoying hands of yours, then you won't be able

cut through my silk!

That was way too easy. Once you figure out your opponent's rules of engagement,

games like this one are no longer amusing.

It's only been a minute or so, and I'm already tired of playing with you.

Die. Sticky Spider Thread!

I suppose you want me to explain how I broke free.

You see, it's not just my hand.

There are chakra points all over me. I can emit chakra from any one.

And now, as you would say, game over.

Gentle fist art.

Eight crygrams. Sixty -four paw.

Bokutama ni, bokutama ni,

yume ni yabureru hito no kakera ga

yama no you ni mieru.

Kami -sama ni, hodoke -sama ni.

tell you don't

The attack on his chakra points was ineffective.

On top of that, he fell back to a long -distance attack to avoid my gentle

This guy blocks my every move, and he reads my hand instantly. This could be

bad. The longer this fight drags on, the less likely I am to win it. And if he

notices my weakness, then... Next time, 360 degrees of vision!

The Byakugan...
