Plot
Akamaru wishes to rejoin the fight between Kiba Inuzuka and Rock Lee. Kiba tells him to stand down, but Akamaru protests. Kiba insists that he can't allow Akamaru to get hurt again. Genma Shiranui interjects to resume the fight, and Kiba finally resigns to letting Akamaru assist him. The battle continues, and Lee activates two of the Eight Inner Gates to finish off both Kiba and Akamaru concurrently. With Lee having won the fight, the next pair of opponents is Naruto and Temari. Their battle begins, and Naruto's Shadow Clone Jutsu is unable to get through Temari's Wind Style. As the battle progresses, Temari uses Wind Style: Tornado Shock to hit Naruto with a powerful blast, leaving his fate unknown as Temari declares that she has won.
