Asuma apologizes at the grave of the Third Hokage for not understanding his advice concerning what the "king" he is to protect is. At the hospital, Naruto Uzumaki and Sai recover before the former resumes his training. Tsunade receives a report from Kakashi Hatake that the Akatsuki are again on the move. Elsewhere, the Two-Tails Jinchuuriki, Yugito Nii of the Village Hidden in the Clouds in the Land of Lightning, struggles against Hidan and Kakuzu prior to allowing the Two-Tailed Cat to fully manifest.
