Yukimaru stops the Sanbi from killing Guren, but the Sanbi attempts to attack the two. Rinji stabs Guren to trigger Yukimaru’s actions to control the Sanbi, but his chakra reaches its limit. Naruto notices Yukimaru using his powers and runs off to search for him, and soon finds himself fighting the Sanbi alongside Guren.
The Sanbi gets trapped in the sealing barrier and Kabuto plans to destroy the barrier. While Guren fights Lee and Tenten, and Rinji once again attempts to destroy the barrier, the Sanbi brakes loose.
After Shino finishes preparing his insects, he goes against Guren’s Crystal Style. Elsewhere, while Shizune, Sakura, Ino and Hinata are bringing the sealing barrier to the Sanbi, they are being watched by Tobi and Rinji.
The sealing unit prepares the sealing barrier and the other two teams go into battle with Guren and her henchmen. Naruto, Kakashi, and Sai stall Guren and Gozu while Shino prepares to go against Guren’s Crystal Style. Meanwhile, Lee goes up against Guren’s other henchmen and gets trapped in their smokescreen. Can Lee find a way to defeat them?
Shizune, Ino, Lee and Tenten arrive and Kakashi, Shizune and Yamato discuss about a strategy to seal the Sanbi and rescue Yukimaru. Meanwhile, Kabuto and Rinji notice Guren’s care for Yukimaru and become concerned.
While Shizune, Ino, Lee and Tenten follow Pakkun to the other’s location, Naruto searches for Yukimaru to take him to Konoha, but comes face to face with Guren in the process.
The Sanbi creates a thick mist that can create illusions, forcing everyone to leave the area. Elsewhere, Guren awakens by Yukimaru’s side and discovers a dangerous side-effect to his abilities. Not willing to let Orochimaru get a hold on the Sanbi, Tsunade sends a back-up unit to detain it so Konoha may protect it.
