Hinata è decisa a dimostrare il proprio valore a Naruto, continuando a combattere.

Kidomaru scaglia una delle sue frecce letali, ma Neji riesce a scansarla. Purtroppo però ormai l’avversario ha capito che ha un punto debole, un cono d’ombra che gli impedisce di vedere il colpo diretto alla schiena, e ne approfitta.

Naruto proves to be too much for Sasuke to handle as Naruto fights back with renewed vigour. Finally acknowledging Naruto's strength, Sasuke puts on his forehead protector, symbolizing both as equals. But when Sasuke's Sharingan is upgraded to level 3, the tables turn on Naruto. Just when all hope seems lost for Naruto, he undergoes a startling transformation, but will it be enough?

With the group trapped, Shino makes a deal to trade the Bikouchuu for Hinata. Unfortunately for the opponents, Hinata got away, making the deal worthless! They begin to attack but can Hinata show up to save the day?
