"Great"

By ZaleIsBackAgain, Nov 02, 2008

Another episode of the battle being terribly drawn out, though this time the off scenes aren't just random conversations. The collaboration with the sound and sand villages have taken positions and are just waiting for their signal. It seemed that Gaara was going to foil that plan for his own desires because he was facing a powerful opponent in Sasuke. The revealing of the history of the Chidori compensates somewhat for the dragged out battle and it makes it even more interesting that it is Kakashi's only original move. The plan seems to be in full motion now that Kabuto and Kazekage have made their move in their respective regions, it actually makes the future episodes something to look forward to.moreless

Gaara has formed the sand into an impenetrable ball around himself. Sasuke tries to attack several times and each time the sand forms spikes where he attacks and drives SAsuke back. Naruto is worried that Sasuke isn't strong enough to defeat Gaara, but Kakashi tells him to be quiet and watch. Sasuke runs up the wall of the arena and performs some hand signs. He runs down the wall gathering momentum and he performs Kakashi's Chidori as he builds up speed. He hit's Gaara's sand shield and breaks through into it and wounds Gaara to everyone's amazement. But something is terribly wrong.....moreless

CHIDORI!

9.5

"Superb"

By TheBunnySage, Feb 15, 2008

Because Garra had been in the dome for quite some time and the dome is dangerous, Sasuke decides to use the Chidori. I was glad to see the move that Kakashi had taught Sasuke. Sasuke successfully injured Garra while inside the dome. Garra, screaming in pain and was begining to transform into the demon sealed inside him. Sasuke had seen just a part of the demon. Kabuto uses genjutsu to make the people in the audience to sleep signaling the invasion of Konoha to begin. Overall this episode went well, actually it was a great episode. I got to see Sasuke use the Chidori which is one of my favorite parts.moreless

4th Match! Gaara VS Sasuke

"Perfect"

By Shadow_KidX, Oct 07, 2007

Okay this episode starts right when Naruto and Shikamaru return from the stairs and are confronting Kakashi, telling him to stop the mtahc because... Gaara could actually kill Sasuke! Gaara is a killing beast. But Kakashi tells them not to worry because he taught Sasuke some special training. Back on the battlefield, Sasuke and Gaara are still battling. Sasuke throws some kunei at the sand shield, and keeps attacking it phsyically from the outside. Menwhile outisde the ANBU are planning something. Then in the battlefield, Sasuke is about to use the ultimate move that Kakashi taught him. Kakashi did have a reason for being late. Konkurou and Temari are worrying that Gaara has forgotten the plan, Konkurou even thinks they should leave before things gets messy. They don't relieze that Shino is eaves dropping on their conversation about the "plan." Outside Sound nin are making a cirlce in the ground for some reason, probably for the "plan." Then Sasuke's ultimate move is unveiled, the Chidori! Kakashi finally explains why and how he trained Sasuke. Sasuke is like him and he needed Sasuke to get to a certain level of speed first. Gai explains what the move can do while Sasuke runs down the wall of the stadium with the Chidori jb in his hand and rams right into Gaara's sand wall. The attack goes right through the wall and wounds Gaara! Lee tells himself how Sasuke's attack worked and that he couldn't even do it. Naruto on the other hand is now jealous of Sasuke because he could do that move, as Shikamaru points out. Now Naruto doubts he can defeat Sasuke even with th new Summoning Jutsu he has. On the stadium field Gaara fight back by unleashing the Shukaku's arm to counter attack sasuke. Sasuke jumps back and dodges the shukaku's moves. Konkurou and Temari point out how devasting that thing is and that Konkurou couldn't even eat for a week after seeing it the first time. Then Gaara's sand wall goes down, he holds his wound covered in blood, which he sees for the first time. Then Kabuto begins his planned attack by using a Sleeping Genjutsu technique. The invasion begins and all Sand and Sound Shinobi are READY!moreless
