Breaking the Crystal Style

The Fighting team continues its battle. Tobi decides to go seek the Three-Tails on his own as he had angered Deidara earlier. 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.
