429

Yugito, Killer Bee, Matatabi, and Gyuuki, all in chibi forms, infiltrate the Sand Village to rescue Gaara and Shukaku. Gyuuki restrains the giant Karasu while Bee frees Gaara, explaining their mission to unite Jinchuriki with tailed beasts. After Yugito returns Gaara’s sand gourd, the pair frees Naruto and Kurama from Tsunade’s statue in the Leaf Village. They trigger a trap and are detained underground by Tsunade, Shizune, and Anbu. Gaara challenges Tsunade to a dice game while Shukaku transforms temporarily. Gyuuki creates an ink dust cloud, allowing the Jinchuriki to escape. Using clones to distract Yamato, Yuugao, and Anbu, they reach a ramen shop. Finally, the group arrives at the Waterfall Village outskirts to confront Itachi, Sasori, and Deidara of the Akatsuki.
