Squirm
To quicken the training, one of Naruto's Kage Bunshins asks Kakashi if anyone
else in Konoha has the wind element nature, and there is: Asuma.
In the
middle of a game of shogi with Shikamaru, Asuma agrees to give Naruto some tips
in exchange for paying the bill next time Asuma's team eats out. It's pushing
his expenses, but Naruto agrees. Asuma pulls out two chakra blades: blades that
absorb a user's chakra and react to the user's nature.
Naruto channels
some chakra into a blade, but it is not as refined as Asuma's. Asuma tells him
to imagine his chakra splitting two halves that rub against each other. After
that, rejoin them until they are thin and sharp, just like a blade. Naruto does
not see the importance of putting chakra into a blade when a blade by itself is
more than enough when battling.
To disprove this, Asuma and Naruto throw
their blades at a tree. Naruto's blade barely goes through the tree, but Asuma's
goes right through the tree and pierces the boulder behind it- he was holding
back. In combat, Asuma explains, the stronger blade wins the battle. The Kage
Bunshin takes this knowledge and the ones training pick up on the learned
information to quicken their training.
Meanwhile, Shizune informs Tsunade
that there's been an attack at the Fire Country's border. It's unknown whether
or not it's Akatsuki, but it's possible that the attack came from the Hidden
Rain Village. This could lead to a war between the two countries, so Tsunade
calls for Asuma. It's a risk since the village will be short one Jounin, but
something must be done.
And something is done: Asuma purchases flowers
for Kurenai. His love interest is not unknown to Shikamaru, Chouji, and Ino, but
no time for teasing. The four of them, despite not being on the same team
anymore, are brought back together to head to the Fire Country's border to
investigate.
Naruto cuts through the leaf and is ready to move onto the
second step, but as a result using so many Kage Bunshins, Naruto acquires all of
their fatigue as well as experience. Kakashi catches him before he collapses as
Sakura and Sai rush to inform him of something Tsunade requests.
As Team
10 regroups for the first time in a long time, Ino points out to Asuma that
everyone on the team is wearing the special earrings that Asuma gave them when
Chouji and Ino became Chuunin.
At the same time, new Team Yamato prepares
to go on a mission and run into Konohamaru's team on the way. As Konohamaru
leaves, he bids farewell to his Uncle Asuma. New news to Naruto, Asuma is
Konohamaru's uncle, which, in turn, makes him the son of the Sandaime Hokage
himself.
As Yamato is leading the team, Kakashi is given instructions
from Tsunade to team up with Jiraiya to find out anything he can about Akatsuki.
Elsewhere, in a ruined village, four figures stand atop the wreckage and
prepare to awaken the Fire Village.
