Naruto Shippuden Uncut

Naruto has a strange nightmare several days after their failure to bring Sasuke home. Even after he awakens wisps of the dream keep haunting him. The next day, Sakura goes to the library to research some medical documents. She happens upon Sai, who is engrossed in a book on human relations. Sakura is happy to see how hard Sai is trying to meld with Team Kakashi, and she invites him to go with her and Naruto to visit Kakashi. At the hospital, Kakashi makes Naruto a suggestion.

Naruto begins to train with Kakashi. Kakashi finds it exhausting working with Naruto, who can't understand anything explained to him. The only way Naruto can learn is through experience. In order for Naruto to develop his own special Rasengan, Kakashi introduces a special training method that would compress enormous amounts of time and effort into a short period. Moreover, Naruto must study the properties of his own chakra in order to develop a new jutsu.

Learning that his chakra is of the "wind" type that is outstanding for fighting, Naruto puts more effort into his training. He decides to go to Asuma, who is also a "wind" type, for some advice. Meanwhile, Tsunade is being filled in on an assault on a village near the border. Thinking that the enemy could be the Akatsuki, Tsunade orders an investigation. She would like to give Naruto enough time to train, but she doesn't want the Akatsuki to pinpoint where Naruto is, so she decides to cut his training short and order Team Kakashi on a new mission.

Team Kakashi is ordered to resolve the frequent vandalizing of graves at the Fire Temple. When it becomes clear that the vandals aren't after the possessions buried with the dead, Yamato suspects that they want the corpses of the ninja buried in the four hidden tombs near Fire Temple. Naruto, unhappy at having his training cut short, continues to train in secret. Team Kakashi is to meet the Fire Temple monk Chiriku near the hidden tombs, but Naruto gets separated from them. He is wandering around in the forest when he happens upon an astonishing sight.

At the Fire Temple, Chiriku explains to Team Kakashi that the hidden tombs hold the guards of the Land of Fire's feudal lord. At one time Chiriku and Asuma were members of that organization. Team Kakashi learn about a terrible incident caused by the Twelve Ninja Guardians. Meanwhile, as Naruto watches the young monks training, he notices a strain in the relations between Sora and the other monks.

Word comes that the last of the hidden graves has been broken into. Naruto and the others go after the coffin, but it turns out to be a trap. Yamato can't figure out what the aim of the enemy is, and the team is forced into a battle. Meanwhile, in the Leaf Village, Tsunade puzzles over the many sources of worry, such as Danzo's, the Akatsuki's and Orochimaru's actions.

Team Kakashi is split up by the enemy's Earth Summoning Jutsu. They are forced to fight the attacking assassins, but the enemy has the advantage since they know the lay of the land. Sai is shot with a marker that gives away all of his movements. He protects Sakura, but receives a venomous attack. Sakura attempts to give him an antidote, but... Meanwhile, Naruto is cornered by Fuka. And Sora, all alone, comes face to face with a mysterious figure...

Sora confronts Furido, the mysterious figure who has broken into the hidden graves. Impressed by Sora's unusual strength, he admonishes him, "You should reevaluate how you use that power Heaven has blessed you with," and disappears, leaving him with a cryptic message that he is an old friend of his father. Meanwhile, Naruto finds himself in a bind against the kunoichi Fouka who possesses an unusual jutsu. He has used every technique he can think of, but Fouka continues to fight back, and Naruto is now in a desperate situation. Then help arrives in the form of...

Yamato believes that the assailants were not grave robbers but were after Sora. He decides to appoint Sora to Team Kakashi as a temporary stand-in for the injured Sai. This doesn't sit well with Naruto, and furthermore, he is assigned to take care of him as soon as they return to the village. Sora causes one problem after another and is a constant source of irritation. Even Kiba and Choji get caught up in the commotion until one unexpected figure puts a stop to it all. Meanwhile, in the Land of Fire, the assailant Furido makes his next move.

By chance, Naruto and Sora get Asuma to coach them. Under the guidance of Asuma's iron fist, they immerse themselves in training with Wind Chakra. Asuma's words soothe Sora and he begins to settle into life in Hidden Leaf Village--until Furido suddenly appears and drops the bombshell that Sora's father was killed by Asuma. Then Tsunade receives a letter from Chiriku, the monk from the Fire Temple, detailing an incident caused by Sora some ten years earlier.

Tsunade catches Danzo in a secret meeting with a ninja from the Hidden Rain Village. But the ninja turns out to be a spy for the Hidden Leaf. It turns out that the four-man group who attacked the graves was actually after Sora. Danzo declares that Sora poses a danger to the village and calls for him to be eliminated. Tsunade tries to silence him, but... Meanwhile, Sora is shocked to learn that Asuma is his father's killer. Enraged, he is goaded on by Furido and turns his blade toward Hidden Leaf Village.

Under cover of a giant power outage, Furido begins his assault on the Hidden Leaf. The village immediately goes on alert, but Furido's men put up a barrier, and everyone in the village is trapped inside. Naruto and Asuma finally catch up to Sora, who is planning an escape in the midst of the panic. He explodes with anger at Naruto's demand to know why he attacked Tsunade. But Asuma is quick to suspect that there is someone behind Sora, someone who knows about the coup d'état incident involving two groups within the Guardian Shinobi Twelve, and realizes that the village is in grave danger.
