Aired on February 14, 2008

47
Sai endures a frightening genjutsu from Sasuke's Sharingan before informing Sasuke that Naruto considers him a brother. Sasuke dismisses this, stating he only has one brother to kill, and departs. Meanwhile, Orochimaru hands Kabuto an envelope containing Danzo's intelligence on Konoha's ANBU, instructing him to create a bingo book. Before entering the hideout, Yamato provides Naruto and Sakura with chakra-infused wooden seeds for tracking, revealing he used the same method to locate Sai. Inside, Kabuto confines Sai, who summons a bingo book based on the stolen data. Yamato then employs an Earth Style Jutsu to dig a tunnel into the hideout, allowing him, Naruto, and Sakura to reach Sai's room without detection.
