He plays Shogi with Shikaku and reveals what Asuma told him: the "king" that Konoha must protect is the next generation. After studying Kakuzu's corpse, Tsunade tells Kakashi not to let Naruto use Rasen Shuriken again because it will permanently destroy his ability to manipulate chakra.

As Kakashi is ordered to go on a reconnaissance mission with Shino, Kiba and Hinata to find the hideout, Naruto is bothered over being warned not to use the Rasen Shuriken due to its extreme risk, wanting to be trained in jutsu that require less chakra. Naruto is reunited with Jiraiya, who offers to train with him again. They depart to a hot springs. As the events occurred, Kabuto relays Orochimaru's message for Guren to carry out a mission that Orochimaru believes she is perfect for, while expressing his desire to use Sasuke’s body to fight the Leaf and Akaksuki.

Guren takes twenty-one survivors from the hideout and leaves to meet Orochimaru. Team Kurenai, led by Kakashi, arrives minutes later to her lair, finding the barely alive subjects before they are forced to escape when the hideout self destructs. Miles away, sixteen of the surviving subjects refuse to be experimented on by Orochimaru any further and attempt to kill Guren. By the time Shino, Kiba, Hinata, and Kakashi arrive, they find that the insects Shino sent ahead were subjected to the same fate as the sixteen subjects; Guren and the remaining five subjects had left while the rest were crystallized, to the horror of the Leaf shinobi. Meanwhile, as Kabuto escorts Yukimaru to their destination, Naruto and Jiraiya reach a hot spring with the former wanting to learn a long-range jutsu to use.

Sasuke defeats them all, sparing his beaten opponents as he wants to kill only Itachi. At the hot spring village, Naruto has enough of working with Gamariki, so uses the Summoning Jutsu to continue his training with Gamakichi and Gamatatsu, despite still not understanding the concept of connecting to another person's heart.

When Naruto wakes up, he finds only a letter from Jiraiya to return to the Hidden Leaf Village and continue training. But after returning home, Naruto, attempting to impress Konohamaru with his summons, learns that neither Gamakichi nor Gamatatsu can use Water Style ninjutsu, so he cannot infuse his wind chakra into a water pistol like Jiraiya did with Gamariki. As these events unfold, Tsunade receives one of Shino's crystalized insects for analysis while one of Guren's men, Rinji, learns about the presence of Kakashi's team through a bat that he sent out, as they continue their pursuit.

After Guren wakes up, Yūkimaru suffers another fever and passes out. Tsunade hears of the Three-Tails from Pakkun, and remarks that it hasn’t been heard of since the last war.

He discovers the Shizune’s sealing team trying to seal the Three-Tails at the lake. Sai engages Gozu, as Guren repels attacks in the form of Naruto’s Rasengan and Kakashi’s Lightning Blade. Shino's Crystal Style-resistant bugs defeat Guren, but Kakashi is stopped from killing her by Gozu, who apparently dies protecting Guren. The guarding team stops Rinji from interfering with the sealing team just as Guren remembers she is the one who killed Yūkimaru's mother. Kabuto uses this fact to manipulate Guren into following his orders, which are to use Yūkimaru to control the Three-Tails, and stop the Leaf shinobi from sealing it.
105	17	"The Battle Over the Barrier" Transliteration: "Kekkai kōbōsen" (Japanese: 結界攻防戦)	Yuki Kinoshita	Yuka Miyata	April 16, 2009 (2009-04-16)	January 5, 2013

As the beast tries to attack Guren, Yūkimaru uses his power to make it stop, and Orochimaru's plan all along is revealed to have been to manipulate Yūkimaru to love Guren and willingly use his power for her, as he believes this power is much stronger than simply forcing the power out of Yūkimaru with Kabuto’s pills.
106	18	"Red Camellia" Transliteration: "Akai tsubaki" (Japanese: 赤い椿)	Hiroshi Kimura	Masahiro Hikokubo	April 23, 2009 (2009-04-23)	January 5, 2013

Tobi, noticing the beast, goes to bring Deidara to it. Naruto goes out to find Yūkimaru, but ends up fighting the Three-Tails with Guren. Despite their efforts to defeat it, the beast overpowers the two of them, and then proceeds to swallow them. Meanwhile, Kakashi, Shino, and Sai find Yūkimaru unconscious and flee with him, leaving Kabuto frustrated.

Guren tries to attack Naruto within the Three-Tails, but passes out instead. Meanwhile, Sakura and Ino heal Yūkimaru while Kakashi, Shizune, Kiba, Sai, and Hinata search for Naruto.

Naruto tells her that he could not bring himself to kill a passed out ninja especially after helping him survive against Three-Tails. Naruto and Guren soon encounter a horde of mini Three-Tails that try to attack them, but they evade them and begin to argue about Yūkimaru. Guren accuses the Leaf of being hypocrites for preventing Orochimaru from attaining a Tailed Beast, while having the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki as their own. Naruto informs Guren that he would never allow Yūkimaru near a Tailed Beast, knowing first-hand the destructive consequences it can lead to. Guren says she simply wants to give Yūkimaru a home to return to. While Yūkimaru awakens, Naruto summons numerous Shadow Clones to look for a way out of the beast's stomach. Elsewhere, Kabuto gives Curse Marks to Rinji's men, ordering them to capture Yūkimaru.

After Naruto and Guren escape from the fog, Naruto begins to realize Guren's good intentions, as she confesses to Naruto that she killed Yūkimaru's mother. At the lake, Yūkimaru then plays the song his mother taught him right above where the Three-Tails is submerged and Kakashi makes a crack in the beast's barrier, before dropping camellias; Naruto and Guren hear the tune and blast their way out.
109	21	"Counterattack of the Curse Mark" Transliteration: "Juin no gyakushū" (Japanese: 呪印の逆襲)	Shigeharu Takahashi	Junki Takegami	May 14, 2009 (2009-05-14)	January 7, 2013

The Sealing Team is attacked by Rinji's men, but are defended by Kakashi, Yamato and Shino, who all notice that their opponents are much stronger than before.

Meanwhile, Naruto and Guren find Rinji with Yūkimaru, and Rinji reveals to him that Guren was the one who killed his mother. Yūkimaru forgives Guren, however Rinji tries to attack her but is stopped by Naruto. Rinji is then revealed to be Kabuto in disguise, who threatens to kill Naruto if he gets in his way.
111	23	"Shattered Promise" Transliteration: "Kudakareta yakusoku" (Japanese: 砕かれた約束)	Yuki Kinoshita	Junki Takegami	May 28, 2009 (2009-05-28)	January 7, 2013
Kabuto explains that he killed Rinji, and that Orochimaru wants the Three-Tails for an upcoming war. He summons Rinji's corpse to attack Guren. Guren manages to fight back by crystalizing herself along with Rinji. The huge crystal, with Guren and Rinji inside, drops into the lake, causing Yūkimaru to believe that Guren is dead. His grief causes the Three-Tails to fly into a rage. The Sealing Team are disrupted by this, while Kakashi and Yamato face off with Rinji’s men yet again. Naruto uses his Collaboration Jutsu to assail the Three-Tails, with Gamatatsu using Toad Oil instead of water to create a pistol imbued by Gamatatsu’s Fire Chakra. The Three-Tails is forced underwater. Naruto goes to Yūkimaru, and tells him they will go home together.

As Yūkimaru sleeps, Naruto watches over him. Yūkimaru notices that the crystallised camellia from Guren is no longer cracked. Gozu rescues Guren at the bottom of the lake and Yukimaru, who has lost his ability to control the Three-Tails due to the scale of his exertion, leaves with Guren and Gozu. Tsunade orders the teams to return to the village to regroup because of their wounds, and her calculation that without Yūkimaru’s abilities, neither Orochimaru nor the Akatsuki would also be unable to capture the beast. She sends ANBU to keep watch over the lake. Tobi and Deidara, meanwhile, return to the lake. After Deidara kills the ANBU members, the two Akatsuki members lure out the Three Tails, capturing it easily.
