We return to Ninjas in the Mist, and begin with some recapping. Naruto thrills to Kakashi being a badass, but it's all for naught - it's not Zubochi Kakashi has, but yet another water clone. Kakashi manages to duck Zubochi's monstrous sword, but not a kick that punts Kakashi into the water. Zubochi takes the chance to jazz-hands up some Water Prison Jutsu, and sick his water clone on the squirts. Zubochi derides the squad, then knocks the piss out of Naruto - and also his headband off. Kakashi urges the kids to run.
Sasuke figures, rightly, running now would mean they all get killed, particularly with Naruto and Sakura both frozen. Zubochi bats away Sasuke's shuriken, and then bounces the poor kid off the ground a couple of times. Naruto takes the time to flashback on his hardcore blood-oath to never be in the exact situation he finds himself now. Emboldened, Naruto makes a mad dash at Zubochi and gets the worst of it, but he was just going back for his headband. It's awesome enough I ignore Sakura's whining at him. Naruto mocks his opponent's lack of eyebrows, and tells him that despite all objections to the contrary - it is once again [i]on[/i]. He's even got a... [i]plan[/i]. Everybody's impresed.
"Let's get wild," indeed, Naruto. Tazuna more or less fesses up to pulling their strings to get them to this point, so happily gives them permission to kick Zubochi's teeth in. Zubochi remarks when he was their age, he was already a major-league badass. The Mist Ninjas apparently are all psychopaths, as for graduation, they pair off and then try and murder each other. Zubochi took a somewhat direct approach to being top of his class, by [i]killing everyone else in it[/i], and he'd already flunked out. Brutal. Then the none-too-swift Mist Ninjas decided that their education system needed reform. I should say so.
While enjoying the trip down memory lane, Zubochi sucker-punches both Naruto and Sasuke, ending with his foot on Sasuke's chest. Naruto goes for his Shadow clone Jutsu as heavy electronic guitar and drums kick in. They dogpile Zubochi, but it doesn't bother him overtly. The clones all vanish, and Naruto ends his skid on the ground with throwing a giant shuriken to
Sasuke. This, too, is justsu. It sails past the water clone to the real Zubochi, who catches it easy - but wait, there's more! A second shuriken was hidden in the first's shadow, and boomerangs back on Zubochi! Who does a leaping dodge. Hey! That's no shuriken, that's a Naruto! He hurls a kunai as we end the episode.
