The Battle Over the Barrier

Guren heads back to the lake with Yūkimaru and Kabuto to stop the sealing. Lee and Tenten guard the sealing team. Using herself as a decoy, and with Rinji's help, Guren manages to disrupt the sealing jutsu by attacking Lee and Tenten. Naruto intervenes with his collaboration jutsu, alongside Shino, but to no avail. The Three-Tails begins attacking the ninja on the lake. 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.
