What episode is "The Dark Creeping Clouds" in Naruto?
"The Dark Creeping Clouds" is episode 155 of Naruto.
After escaping one danger, Naruto’s group is caught in an ambush that tests their wits and unity. Emotional tensions rise as the villagers confront complicated truths about loyalty and innocence. With friendships deepening, efforts focus on healing and uncovering truths behind past conflicts.
With Raiga seemingly dead, the gang heads back to find Karashi waiting for them. It turns out to be a trap as the Kurosuki Family ambushes them. Luckily, Naruto fools them not once, but twice, with his clones. With the enemies defeated, the villagers focus their anger on Karashi. Rock Lee intercepts them and says that Karashi is still young and weak, and that it is partially his fault Karashi joined the Kurosuki Family. Lee begs them to let him return to his mother, promising to punish Karashi himself if he should fall from grace. The villagers agree and the group heads back, but not before picking up Ranmaru. They head back to the Curry of Life shop for a meal, where Naruto tries to retrieve information from Ranmaru. Ranmaru has Karashi take him to the canyon where Raiga fell, and uses his own chakra to revive him.
