Ep. 42: Orochimaru battles the Four-Tailed Naruto while Kabuto approaches Sakura and Yamato

42

Naruto, transformed into his Four-Tailed state, attacks Orochimaru and destroys the surrounding area, blocking Sai and Yamato’s wood clones. Orochimaru’s assaults fail to harm Naruto, though his Regeneration Jutsu allows him to keep pace. Meanwhile, Kabuto moves toward Sakura and Yamato, concluding that Sasori is dead. Orochimaru eventually strikes Naruto with his Kusanagi Sword but fails to pierce him. Witnessing Naruto in this powerful form, Sakura feels both awe and terror. This event occurs during the Tenchi Bridge Reconnaissance Mission arc on October 21.
