    Sasuke uses his kunai and stabs himself in the leg in order to break the hold that the grass ninja (Orochimaru) has on him. He used the pain from the injury to overcome his fear. He takes Sakura with him and they try to hide. Meanwhile, Naruto has been swallowed by a giant snake. He uses his shadow clone jutsu to burst free from the snake and takes off to find Sasuke and Sakura. The grass ninja attacks Sasuke in the form of a giant snake. Sasuke dodges (barely) and kills the snake with shuriken. The grass ninja comes out of the dead snake and charges for Sasuke until it is stopped by Naruto's kunai and shuiken.....moreless

    This episode was very interesting. When Sasuke wanted to just give the scroll to the grass ninja, Naruto just had to take the scroll. Naruto just has to think sometimes. The point is that Naruto used some of the demon fox's chakra to defeat a snake that the grass ninja had summoned. It was a good fight but the grass ninja sealed the demon fox's chakra. Naruto got unconscious. Sasuke now had to fight against the grass ninja. Sasuke is very skilled he should win. Overall, the episode is great because it had a lot of action and it did show much of the demon fox's chakra.moreless
