Ep. 155: Naruto trains with Fukasaku while Akatsuki targets the Nine-Tails in the Hidden Leaf
Aired on April 8, 2010

155
Naruto discovers that absorbing excessive Natural Energy transforms him into a toad and eventually stone because Jiraiya never mastered Sage Jutsu. Fukasaku initiates training by applying toad oil to help gather energy and striking Naruto and his clones with a special club to prevent transformation. Fukasaku also provides Jiraiya’s first book, Tales of Gutsy Ninja, for Naruto to read. Concurrently, Tobi and the Akatsuki realize the captured Killer Bee is merely a fragment of the Eight Tails. Consequently, Pain and Konan depart for the Hidden Leaf with the objective of capturing the Nine-Tails.
