The group struggles to find a Bikochu, but seems to fail at every turn. Naruto messes up a few times, nearly getting them eaten by a giant Bikochumo bug in the process, while the group continues to be watched.
However, when it starts raining, they only have one more chance to find it.
Thanks to Hinata’s Byakugan, they succeed in finding one.
Their celebrations are short lived though, because Hinata’s kidnapping forces them to make a critical decision.
As Ino, Shikamaru, and Choji try to stall the two idiot brothers, Tsunade discovers some startling information involving Mizuki and Orochimaru and decides it’s time she took actions of her own.
When Naruto, Iruka, and Pakkun finally catch up to Mizuki, they witness him undergo a monstrous transformation.
