Choji has staked his pride to bring down Jirobo, but the effort leaves him collapsed on the ground. One by one, the members of the retrieval squad stop to hold off the Sound Four so the others can push ahead, each embracing the grim resolve to take one enemy down with them. Neji faces Kidomaru, a foe who spins and controls spider-like threads from a distance, meeting him head-on with the Byakugan and the Rotation. This is where the desperate relay begins, every ninja betting his life to open the road for the next. Bound only by the wish to bring Sasuke home, the young shinobi push far past their limits.
