The Results of Training

Naruto attacks Kakashi using shadow clones, using a new strategy which is very different from his previous head on attacks and surprises Kakashi. Sakura also shows her true beastly strength that she gained through the training from Lady Tsunade. Kakashi finds it hard to dodge every attack and relies on his Sharingan. As they fight, Kakashi reminisced about Team 7 from two years back and how they were so weak then, understanding that the same old tricks will not work on Sakura and Naruto again. He remarks on how Naruto has grown, and how Sakura has the potential to surpass the Fifth Hokage as an even better Kunoichi. Kakashi engages in Taijutsu, mimicking Rock Lee’s Dancing Leaf Shadow, before Naruto attempts the Secret Finger Jutsu on Kakashi. Meanwhile that night, in the Hidden Sand, Deidara (a member of the Akatsuki) stealthily infiltrates the village from the air, taking out three men who are tasked with watching the sky. However, he is confronted by Gaara, the Fifth Kazekage, who attempts to chase him off.
