Ep. 401: Lee and Shira clash as Neji observes damage while Lee breaks chakra limits to win.

401

During the battle between Lee and Shira, Neji notes that both combatants are sustaining significant damage. Shira attempts to seal Lee's chakra points to stop him from accessing the Inner Gates, but Lee shatters these seals and activates one of the gates. In response, Shira utilizes the Seven Heavenly Breaths. The intense fight continues until Lee employs the Fifth Gate to defeat Shira, who then expresses his gratitude. Later that evening, guards announce that Fu, Kegon, and Yoro have achieved the rank of jonin. Meanwhile, Gaara uses his Third Eye to secretly observe the team. This segment is part of the In Naruto's Footsteps: The Friends' Paths arc, specifically episode 8 out of 20.
