funny but nothing of great importance happens. Naruto,
Sakura and Sasuke gang up and try to determine what
Kakashi really looks like under his mask. They run into
another bit of trouble with some ninjas with whom Kakashi

Sasuke battles the sound
ninjas and puts up a good fight, but is no match for

Sasuke carries on his neck. Through very devious means
the sound ninjas convice Sasuke to leave the Konoha
and join the sound. Sasuke tells Sakura of his decision,
and Sakura pleads to get Sasuke to stay, but he refuses
and proceeds to knock her out. Has Sasuke truly betrayed
the Konoha village, and how will Naruto react to this
news? |

chasing the sound ninjas and must catch up before dark.
Orochimaru is suffering greatly under the 3rd hokage's
curse and is desperately waiting for Sasuke's body.
We learn further that Orochimaru has created a small
army of ninjas under his control, and that he is planning
to re-incarnate himself with Sasuke, but with Sasuke's
body not present he must use another person's body.
Our three manage to sneak off with Sasuke's body, but
they are now the ones being chased by the sound ninjas,
and now with Kimimaro giving chase will they be able
to escape with Sasuke? |
119: Shissaku!
Aratanaru teki
"Mistake! The new enemy" |
Orochimaru has taken
over another body, and our three are left running with
Sasuke. The sound ninjas catch up and an epic battle
begins between the Konoha and Sound. Kiba, Akamaru and
Sakon fall down a cliffside and Shikamaru is left to
battle Tayuya alone, because Naruto must now give chase
to Kimimaro who has stole back Sasuke's body. Every
one of the members is left to fight a difficult and
possibly impossible battle, will our team succeed in
resucing Sasuke, or will they all perish on this mission? |
120: Unare!
Hoero! Kyukyoku no taggu
"Roar! Howl! The ultimate tag" |
Kiba is fiercely battling
with Sakon, only to find out that there are in fact
two of him...? Naruto creates hundreds of clones to
attack Kimimaro, but even with their numbers they can
not touch him. Tayuya sommons 3 huge monsters and controls
them with her flute, and Shikamaru is forced to retreat
and come up with a strategy. Each of our ninjas is facing
a truly fearsome opponent. Kiba and Akamaru finally
use their strongest technique and transform into a giant
two headed dog, but even this new transformation is
not enough to defeat Sakon. How will Naruto and Shikamaru
do in their fights? |
121: Sorezore
no tatakai
"Each respective battles" |
Kiba by hurting himself
is able to esacpe with Akamaru from the powerful Sakon,
but will he be able to finally escape with his life?
Kimimaro is making quick work of the hundreds of Naruto
clones, and is able to turn is bones into strong weapons.
Shikamaru is still trying to fend off the summoned creatures
of Tayuya. Kiba senses a new enemy, and manages to hide
from Sakon by jumping in the river. |

"Fake! The guy Shikamaru gambles to recover from
a hopeless situation" |
Shikamaru is desperately
trying to understand and come up with a strategy to
defeat Tayuya and her summoned monsters. Kimimaro finally
is still defeating Naruto's clones effortlessly. Kiba
though severely wounded is still making his way down
the river. Shikamaru using his amazing intelligence
is able to trick her and manages to restrain, but she
transforms into state two and is able to defeat his
shadow restraint and uses an illusion technique but
Shikamaru once again is able to defeat her illusion
and lure her close. |
123: Konoha

"Meet the Leaf's green beast!" |
Naruto is still trying
to find a way to attack Kimimaro, and Shikamaru is still
struggling with Tayuya. Kiba is attempting to recover
from his battle, and once again senses incoming ninjas.
Sasuke has finished his transformation and escapes from
the barrel, and even though Naruto attempts to convince
him to come back he leaves, and just when Naruto seems
defeated Lee comes in and defends Naruto. Even though
he is still recovering from surgery Lee is able to land
numerous strikes to Kimimaro, and we discover that Lee
left in such a hurry he took a wine bottle instead of
his medicine. Will Lee be able to defeat Kimimaro? |
124: Yaju
sakuretsu! Hajikero futtobe tsukinukero!
"Beast explosion! Burst open, blow off and break
through!" |
Lee is a natural genius
at drunken boxing, and while he is battling Kimimaro
Naruto is still chasing Sasuke, Shikamaru is still fighting
with Tayuya, and Kiba is still trying to escape from
Sakon. Lee in his new state seems nearly invincible,
but Kimimaro transforms into state 1 and manages to
hurt Lee which breaks him out of his druken style. Shikamaru
doesn't have enough strength to finish off Tayuya, and
Sakon is catching up to Kiba. Lee is no longer a match
for Kimimaro, it seems like our ninjas are about to
be defeated, and enter thier new allies from the sand. |
125: Konoha
domeikoku Suna no shinobi
"The Leaf's allies the Sand's shinobi" |
Just when all hope
seems to be lost for our Konoha ninjas their new allies
from the Sand arrive, and they are none other than
those same rookies that recently launched the attack
on the Konoha. The ninjas from the sand have greatly
grown in their own strength as well. Temari has come
to the aid of Shikamaru, Kankarou has come to help
Kiba, and Gaara has come to assist Lee. With quick
work Kankarou manages to save Kiba and kill Sakon
with his puppets. With her amazing summoning ability
Temari is able to kill Tayuya in a whirlwind of slashes.
Now the only one left is Kimimaro and Gaara, with
Gaara's amazing powers will he be able to defeat the
almost invincible Kimimaro? |

Thus begins a truly
between Kimimaro and Gaara begins. Gaara appears to
have defeated Kimimaro, but it is only the beginning.
Naruto still continues to chase Sasuke, and he follows
him into a deep, dark cave. Naruto is forced to relive
his terrible experiences of the past while he continues
to try to find Sasuke. Kimimaro transforms to state
one and is able to break out of Gaara's attack. As Kimimaro
is forced to transform into state two we learn in much
greater detail of his past, and how he came to unite
with Orochimaru. Naruto continues to chase Sasuke and
Gaara is now forced to fight Kimimaro in his most powerful
state. |

We discover that Kimimaro was the most powerful of the
sound ninjas, and once lead the four that kidnapped
Sasuke. Gaara sinks Kimimaro in the sand and buries
him hundreds of meters underground. Just when victory
seems at hand Kimimaro's bones explode into spikes and
emmerge from the ground. Kimimaro makes one final attack,
but finally dies due to his illness. Naruto finally
catches up with Sasuke. |
128: Todokanai
sakebi
"Unreachable outcry" |
Naruto and Sasuke finally
meet, on the tops of giant statues. Naruto tries to
reason with Sasuke, but can not understand why he has
chosen to go with Orochimaru. Naruto understands what
his teammates have sacrified so that he could catch
Sasuke. With these memories fresh in his mind, he knows
that to honor the sacrifices of his friends he must
bring back Sasuke whether he wants to go willingly or
not. Sasuke does not care about his friends, partners
or even his own life, he now seeks only revenge even
if that means sacrificing himself for Orochimaru. Will
Naruto be able to defeat Sasuke and bring him back to
the Konoha or will he die in his fight? |

After a brutal fire
attack on Naruto, Naruto leaps up and strikes Sasuke
with little effect. Sasuke driven by his brother continues
to fight Naruto and we learn from Sasuke's past his
early relationship with his brother and the Uchiha family.
We quickly learn that Sasuke is ignored and that his
father is more concerned about Itatchi because of his
genius and power, this often leaves Sasuke alone and
seeking the approval of his father. Though Itachi apparently
cares for Sasuke, things quickly change, and Itachi
begins to care only for his strength and power and by
doing so plans on making Sasuke even stronger. After
Sasuke's dip into his memory once again Naruto and Sasuke
continue their fight. |

Naruto, and once again attacks him with a massive fire
attack. We once again travel back into the past and
watch Sasuke and Itachi and the Uchiha family disaster
unfold. Itachi quickly alienates himself from his family
and his clan. Sasuke's father finally acknowledges Sasuke,
but is disappointed when Sasuke can not perform the
fireball skill as good as Itachi. Sasuke practices day
and night his new skill and finally masters it and shows
his father. Sasuke as a child constantly seeking approval
from his father, and brother. We return to the current
fight and Sasuke is having his way with Naruto, will
Naruto be able to fight Sasuke and defeat him, I guess

Sasuke's thousand bird skill, but with his strength
is ready to bring the battle to Sasuke. |

of events with Sasuke and Naruto. Sasuke's Sharigan
evolves and he is now easily able to keep up with Naruto
even with the power of Nine Tails. Kakashi continues
to give chase in hopes of catching up with Naruto and
Sasuke. Sasuke with a finishing move crushes Naruto's
head into the ground killing him, but the Nine tails
fox refuses to let Naruto die and uses his own energy
to revive Naruto's body. Sasuke is no longer a match
for Naruto now that he is totally possessed by the spirit
of Nine Tails and the fight resumes. Sasuke realizes
he is no match for Naruto and completely is change into
State 2. *{Writer's Comment}: We are not entirely
sure why in this State Sasuke looks so much like a woman,

a number of times already. This happens a great deal
