Sasuke’s match against Gaara finally begins! Gaara seems to have the upper hand at the beginning, until Sasuke shows off his newly found taijutsu techniques.
Gaara is reliving the battle against Rock Lee all over again, only this time he’s facing an opponent who can use more than simple taijutsu attacks.
It’s time for Sasuke’s match against Gaara, only Sasuke has yet to show up.
Normally they’d disqualify him, but everyone’s anxiously awaiting the match. Therefore, they give Sasuke a time limit before disqualifying him.
As time slowly begins to run out, only one question remains on everyone’s mind… where’s Sasuke?
Shikamaru takes on Temari, only he doesn’t want to fight.
Can the lazy Shikamaru even last the round?
Or is there more to Shikamaru than meets the eye?
With Sasuke still absent, and everyone anxiously anticipating his match against Gaara, the tournament is forced to move on to the next round.
Meanwhile, Neji learns the shocking truth about his father.
With all of his tenketsus closed, Naruto cannot feel chakra in him and can barely stand. Neji continues to say that Naruto’s fate does not include his winning.
Neji exclaims that Naruto has no idea what it feels like to carry a seal that cannot be removed. Naruto thinks about how he was neglected and ignored because of the Nine-Tails sealed within him and says that he does too understand.
Now, the only way for Naruto to win lies in summoning Kyubi’s chakra.
Naruto begins his assault with his Shadow Clones but Neji analyzes Naruto’s actions and determines the real one.
Much to his surprise the one he thought was real is a fake as well. Naruto manages a sneak attack, but fails when Neji finds a way to counter it.
Unable to figure out why Naruto won’t admit his defeat, he takes off his headband and reveal a mysterious mark on his forehead. Neji reveals the truth about his hatred towards the main family of the Hyuga Clan.
