    Zaku has just used his wind cannon in his arm to attack Shino. Confident he has already won, Zaku is surprised to see Shino get up like nothing happened. Shino then directs Zaku's attention behind himself. It seems that Shino is controlling an army of beetles that are advancing toward Zaku. Zaku has a flashback to when he was younger. He steals some bread and is beat up by two men. He runs into Orochimaru who promises to make him stronger if Zaku follows him. Back to the battle, Zaku reveals that both of his arms are capable of doing the wind cannon attack....moreless

    A cleverly plotted episode. Kakashi tries to fight Orochimaru and Shino fights Zaku. The ending for of fights were interesting. Kakashi impulsively tried to fight Orochimaru and Zaku overconfidently tried to defeat Shino. Well I was not surprised with the ending of the battle of Kakashi and Orochimaru for they did not fight at all. Kakashi made clear that he would fight him but Orochimaru didn't have any interest in fighting him of course. The sound village was very powerful but to see that Shino's bugs had stopped him really made a big difference. I liked this episode because of that battles that were happening. A very interesting outcome indeed. Kankuro and Misumi are the next fight.moreless

    Shino and Zaku continue their fight. Shino uses bugs against Zaku to gain an advantage. However Zaku has an ace up his sleeve and reveals that his other arm is not broken. Shino on the other hand decides early on that he would send bugs into Zakus wind cannon. Which plugs up his slicing sound wave and destroys his arms resulting in Shinos victory. We find out through Neji that Shino is part of the Aburame clan whose primary technique involves the use of bugs. Elsewhere Kakashi seals the Curse Seal on Sasuke. When he finishes explaining how it works to Sasuke. Right after Sasuke passes out Orochimaru appears and tells Kakashi that his goal is to posses the Sharingan. Kakashi tells Orochimaru that if he takes one more step towards Sasuke that one of them will die. Orochimaru says that he doesnt need to take Sasuke now because he will eventually seek him out for the power he is seeking. The next battle is Kankuro against Misumi.moreless

    Orochimaru shows up while Kakashi is trying to seal Sasuke's curse seal. Kakashi threatens to kill Oro, but he brushes Kakashi off. But Oro still walks away anyway. As he leaves, Kakashi tells himself that he couldn't have killed Oro on his own. (He needs back up from the Power Puff Girls!!!!!) Meanwhile, Shino is still fighting Zaku from the Sound Trio. Zaku has air cannons lodged in his hand and they can send out super soud waves. Shino sends out his bugs and they invade Zaku's air cannons, and the air is backed up and Zaku's arms explode from too much air build up. They had really freaky lookin' holes in them. Shino Aburame is the winner!!!!! ^_^ Hayate makes the board go again to decide who will fight the next match. A Sand Ninja vs. A Leaf Ninja. Kankuro vs. Misumi Tsurugi. Misumi is one of Kabuto's teammates.moreless

    • In the anime, after the battle with Shino, Zaku's arm has deep cuts where the bugs came out of. In the manga, after the battle with Shino, Zaku's arm was blown off because of the pressure of his wind attack. Edit

    • Kakashi: I don't care if you are one of the Sannin, the three shinobi of legend. I swear, take one more step towards Sasuke, and one of us will die here. (Orochimaru laughs) Funny, is it? Edit
    • Shino: You see, while an ace in the hole is good, two aces are better. Edit
