Mission Cleared!

Preparations are being made in order to protect the civilians from the ongoing battle between Deidara and Gaara. Deidara lets C-3 plummet to the ground and there is an incredible explosion.

In Konoha, Naruto revisits Ichiraku Ramen and prepares to eat, but Iruka arrives and says the meal’s on him. The only reason Sakura is not around- she’s eating elsewhere- is because Naruto didn’t know Iruka would be paying since he only had enough to pay for half of the bill.

Back in Suna, it seems that the worst has occurred, but the village has been protected by Gaara’s sand shield. Unfortunately, Deidara’s clay bird is now within range of Gaara and he yells out “Katsu” just as the entire barrier of sand covers Gaara completely. The bird detonates.

Commence episode.

Though Gaara was able to crush Deidara’s left hand, he was able eat some of the sand and mix it with his clay. Tiny spiders begin to crawl into the ultimate defense and Deidara repeats the same phrase he said before “Art is…a bang!” ("Geijutsu wa... bakahatsu da!”) The ultimate defense rumbles loudly due to the explosion.

Back in Konoha, Iruka thinks back to the various times he and Naruto spent at Ichiraku, such as how Naruto wanted Iruka’s forehead protector. Naruto can’t help but feel disappointed about one thing. Teuchi believes that Naruto’s going to badmouth the ramen, but Naruto’s really disappointed because he was hoping that the next time Iruka treated him to ramen would be when he became a chuunin, and he’s the only one in his age group who’s still a genin. Iruka tells him that he should be still glad because he got personal training from Jiraiya himself, even though it was Jiraiya’s strict training that led Naruto to get an entirely new outfit and forehead protector. Upon hearing that Gaara is the Kazekage, Iruka responds by saying that Gaara’s special, but Naruto replies that one can’t become Kazekage just by being special.

In Suna, the sand barrier surrounding Gaara begins to collapse.

For Team Kakashi’s first mission, Tsunade plans to have them as escorts in a VIP Mission in the Rice Country in order to make up for the lack of work Naruto and Sakura have done. It’s a B-rank mission, so Shizune suggests a simpler mission, a D-ranked mission: walking dogs. Team Kakashi would never take something like that, even though the Kyuubi within Naruto could be a potential hazard if taken outside the gates of Konoha. Tsunade gives them a C ranked mission: a coastal transport convoy.

It turns out that Deidara’s C-3 was a diversion in order to get closer to Gaara, who emerges from the barrier, broken and beaten. Gaara uses the last of his powers to move the sand away from the village. The shinobi below begin firing arrows, most of them having explosive tags attached. Once all of the sand has been safely moved away from the village, Gaara begins to descend. Deidara quickly catches him and the two head off. “Mission accomplished” is all Deidara says as they flee Suna.
