Ep. 285: Sasuke and Sakura uncover Zansul's plot involving dragon beasts and Ultra Particles at the observatory.
Sakura receives a warning from Kakashi about the Prime Minister mobilizing Redaku's army for Zansul's assets. She and Sasuke connect twelve paintings to Jutsu hand signs using Star Lines card game logic. After a romantic moment by a meteor crater lake, Sakura uses a jutsu to reveal sunken Ultra Particles. An explosion releases flying dragon beasts, prompting Sasuke to pursue them while Sakura returns to the observatory. Zansul confronts Sasuke, admitting he uses prisoners to dig for fossils and denying the Reanimation Jutsu. Sasuke deduces Zansul lacks the chakra for control. As dragon beasts devour inmates, Sakura creates an escape route but is stabbed by Jiji. Jiji reveals he reanimates the beasts and steals the Ultra Particles to perform mass reanimations. The observatory crumbles as Jiji summons humongous dragon beasts, leaving a paralyzed Sakura trapped under falling rubble.
