Yukimi leaves the village to see the outside world, taking “Tenzo” with her. Kakashi tries to convince the two to return so that he can set a trap to capture Orochimaru, who is after Yukimi’s blood.

Shikamaru and his team are within range of Fushu Castle, where Gengo is purported to be. But they are unable to glean any intel about the man. Learning that Gengo will make a public appearance, Shikamaru and company infiltrate the square, where they see Sai being held captive.
