Apprentice of the Medical Ninja

Chiyo’s assault on Kakashi is stopped due to Naruto’s quick use of Kage Bunshins. Upon further inspection, Chiyo realizes that Kakashi only bares resemblance to the White Fang of Konoha, who is actually his father, but he is not actually him. She plays it off by saying that she pretended to be senile. Sakura has everyone leave the room and she begins her examination on Kankurou. The poison in his body is one that can destroy the cells after infiltrating the muscles. Though there’s a slight chance to save Kankurou, Sakura has the two medical shinobi present gather up some materials for her.

Akatsuki continues to extract Shukaku from Gaara’s body.

Sakura has the others hold Kankurou down while she holds a held together ball of liquid over him. She sends chakra into his body, draws the poison from the cell, absorbs it into the ball, and pulls it out. After awhile, she removes most of the poison from his body to the point where his life is no longer in danger, but she’s far from done.

Clearly, Sakura’s training with Tsunade has paid off.

A messenger bird arrives with a message from Tsunade: Gai’s team has been sent as reinforcements and will be arriving soon. Naruto prepares to take off to find Akatsuki…though he hasn’t the slightest idea where to begin. Sunagakure began tracking Akatsuki through Kankurou, who is currently immobile, and through a pursuit squad, though no words has come from them since. Suddenly, Kankurou begins to regain consciousness and Kakashi has Baki show him where Kankurou fought Akatsuki. Within Karasu’s hand is a piece of Sasori’s mask, so Kakashi and the others can track Sasori in the event that he and Deidara split up. Kakashi summons his pack of dogs and they whisk off when they get a whiff of Sasori’s mask.

Sakura administers a conjured up antidote to Kankurou, who has confirmed that one of the members he fought was Sasori of the Red Sands.

Kankurou thinks back to a talk he had with Gaara about how one could escape a path of total solitude and how they could share those feelings of joy and with other people. Gaara’s bout with Naruto taught him that because the two shared that same feeling of complete isolation and suffering.

“Uzumaki Naruto…please take care of my brother!” is Kankurou’s plea to Naruto, who gladly accepts.
