Who're they?
Oh
Granny Chiyo...and Ebizo.
No way. I thought they were supposed
Treatment Room 3
Oh
Please enter.
I think you all know who
This is Lady Chiyo and Lord Ebizo.
- Hello.
Hm? If I'm not mistaken
It's Kankuro.
The current Kazekage's older brother.
Oh
You checked his blood
Y-Yes. Please look at this.
I've never seen...
Yes. We believe it might be
Have you tried an antidote?
For the time being
But none had any identifiable effects.
I see...
Ordinarily
It appears he's very confident
Leaving his prey as is
Finally we're out of the Sand.
I hate making people wait...
Good grief. Whose fault was it
That goes for both of us.
Oh yeah.
Sealing Jutsu:
All right.
This one didn't work
You haven't tried anything else?
For the time being
we have requested the Leaf for
It would be best to wait for their arrival.
Talk about depending on others.
This happened because you depend
and conduct nothing
It is not...our intention to
I guess it can't be helped...
It's his fault for losing his cool
A Shinobi is the last person
What's the point of trusting
on the likes of the Leaf?
Improving the strength of your own village
They are them
Listen. An amicable alliance is nothing
At times like this
is for them to send us some
That would never happen...
That's how it goes.
Everyone looks out for themselves.
Okay
Huh? Kakashi Sensei
Up there.
One more day until
We have to hurry.
Okay
This is not good.
Poisons are my specialty
Even you
At best
He may not even make it
That Sasori has sure grown considerably.
What in the world should we do?
Well
would be
I had a lot of trouble with her
She would decipher all the poisons
And now we're allies with the Leaf.
All we can do is send for her and
But she is now the Hokage
and would not be able to
And even if she were to come
it takes three days to get here
I know. Nobody's seriously thinking
I don't like that slug girl
Are you okay
Yeah.
There's a cold going around
Thanks.
It's been two days
They should be arriving
This is a bad sign.
Don't tell me...!
Group 3
I won. And first prize at that.
This is really a bad omen.
Shizune. Are you there
All right!
It's the desert!
The Village Hidden in the Sand
I'll take the lead from here.
We're counting on you.
We're here.
Let's go.
You're late. Prepare immediately.
The Jinchuriki was unexpectedly strong.
All right
Now
We will soon be done removing the traps
Good work.
We are currently working on
But there is one thing that is
What is it?
We have not yet found Captain Yura.
What?
It is clear that the Captain was
before the incident.
We have not even found
let alone his body.
That's strange.
He's either slipped past the enemy
or perhaps nobody noticed
I'd like to send backup for him
But if we don't know where he is...
Did you call me
Yes...
I want to send reinforcements to
Reinforcements?
They should be about done
and on their way back by now.
Them?
Oh. Yes
Can the worst-case scenario
From now
Keep your attention to
And Zetsu
Use the longest range.
I know.
Three days?
Shouldn't we consider that it might
since we don't have Orochimaru?
If that's what you think
That's true.
Indeed.
That sounds good.

They have returned from their mission!
All right.
Oh
I'm giving you guys
- Huh?
S-rank?
- Mission?
All right! We got an S-rank mission!
I can't believe it...
Our ability has finally
I-It can't be!
Are you okay
Well
More like you were peeping.
Here this is the first S-rank mission
Don't be catching a cold
What's with these guys?
This is the wrong room
Geez
What about our S-rank mission?
It was a misunderstanding...
I'm giving you guys the same mission
Head for the Sand and

Got it?!
Yes
Please leave it to us.
Roger.
Understood.
All right!
Team Guy heading into action.
You catch a cold?
No
All right
Sensei
It'll take three days
Please stop your conversations
All right
Together with me
Yes
How embarrassing.
Give it up
They're as energetic as ever.
It's sure been awhile
I'm looking forward to seeing
Yeah.
Here we're so close to
I can't just sit around waiting!
Naruto
But...!
Be patient. Right now
The ironclad rule is to
if you encounter a sandstorm.
You lose your sense of direction
We often hear of people
dying of dehydration after
It'll be okay.
A sandstorm around this time
Please let up soon.
Kankuro...
Give him a sedative.
Okay.
All we can do now is ease his pain...
Our only ray of hope is the Leaf Shinobi
If they have a poison specialist
If Kankuro can hold on
The road from the Leaf is currently
In the worst case
If that happens
This is pathetic...
I can't believe the day has come when
Aren't you tired
You haven't had a wink of
It's so sad
Big Sister.
She fell asleep
If they're early
But even a local wouldn't be
with yesterday's sandstorm.
Hey
Oh!
We've been expecting you.
So you were with them
Please
What?! They got Kankuro
Yes
Kankuro was poisoned by the enemy
At this rate... he won't...
Damn it!
Let's hurry
I'll take a look at him.
Treatment Room 3
Kankuro!
He's...the White Fang of the Leaf!
You jerk!
Huh?
Prepare yourself!

The patient is a 17-year-old Jonin
Oh
The surgeon seems to be a girl.
Can such a young doctor handle this?
It looks like the toxin is
