Naruto Shippuden Uncut

Naruto's uses his new jutsu to bring Kakuzu down. Tsunade welcomes the teams back home and orders Team Asuma and Team Yamato to take a break. Standing in front of Asuma's grave, Shikamaru sees Kurenai, who is with child, and promises that he will protect the jewel that Asuma has left. Naruto's right arm, which he injured during the battle, turns out to be quite serious. Realizing how dangerous the Wind Style: Rasen Shuriken is, Tsunade orders Yamato and Kakashi to never allow Naruto to use it again. At that time, in a faraway location, Orochimaru sets in motion his next plan.

Just when peace has finally settled over the village word comes that Orochimaru's hideout has been found. Tsunade orders Kakashi, Hinato, Shino, and Kiba on a search mission to find the hideout. Naruto is in a dilemma about his new jutsu, Wind Style: Rasen Shuriken, because of the damage the user sustains. Jiraiya returns to the village. Naruto seeks the guidance of his mentor, so Jiraiya and Naruto set out for the hot springs. Meanwhile, some distance away, Orochimaru's female follower, Guren, is in the process of selecting subordinates for a mission.

Naruto and Jiraiya arrive at the hot springs resort. As an alternative to the Wind Style: Rasen Shuriken, Jiraiya suggests to Naruto the collaboration ninjutsu with a ninja toad. But the toad summoned for Naruto's partner turns out to be Mr. Gamariki, the ninja toad that didn't get along with Naruto during his three-year training period. Meanwhile, upon receiving Orochimaru's orders, Guren selects from her hideout a group of shinobi worthy of the mission. Those who oppose Guren's aggressive methods are quickly taken down, displaying how powerful she is. Unbeknownst to them, Kakashi and his team are secretly following their trail.

Inside Orochimaru's hideout Guren witnesses Sasuke defeating a thousand opponents. Having lost the opportunity to be Orochimaru's new vessel in the past, Guren openly express her jealousy toward Sasuke. Seeing through Guren's emotional state, Orochimaru proposes a plan. Meanwhile, Kabuto and Yukimaru conduct their experiment to summon the Three-Tailed Beast. Drained from the experiment, Yukimaru is taken by Kabuto to a nearby hot spring to heal. The same hot spring happens to be where Naruto and Jiraiya are staying to work on Naruto's collaboration ninjutsu training with Gamakichi and Gamatatsu. Shrouded in the hot steam, Naruto has a chance encounter with Yukimaru, unaware that he is an enemy. Meanwhile, Kakashi, who is still in pursuit of Guren, sends a messenger to the Hidden Leaf to report a change in the battle status.

Believing Naruto's new jutsu is almost completed, Jiraiya heads off to investigate new information on the Akatsuki's movements. His arm now healed, Naruto returns to the village to continue his training. At the Leaf Village Tsunade receives Kakashi's message and begins her investigation into the mysterious crystal that was delivered. Meanwhile, Kakashi and his team continue their search for Orochimaru's men, when Shino detects the presence of his Parasitic Insects thought to have been killed by the Crystal Style Jutsu. Believing it may become a useful lead to the enemy, Shino parts with the team to search for the insect.

Staying behind at the hideout, Rinji and Gozu become aware of a shinobi following their tracks. At the same time, Kakashi and his team notice that the enemy is using a bat for surveillance. Both sides are now aware of each other's presence, keeping careful eye on the other's next move. Meanwhile, Guren takes Yukimaru and hurries back to her men. But Yukimaru comes down with a fever after being in the rain, forcing Guren to nurse him. Exhausted, Guren soon falls asleep only to find herself looking at some peculiar scenery inside her dreams.

At the Leaf Village Naruto is busy training with Gamakichi and Gamatatsu. But when he learns that Kakashi and the others are out on a mission to locate Orochimaru's hideout, Naruto rushes to ask Tsunade if he can join the mission. Tsunade asks why he wishes to take part in this mission, and Naruto gives his answer... Meanwhile, Kakashi and the others regroup with Shino, who recovered the insect. But in order to grow more Paarasitic insects that are immune to the Crystal Style Jutsu, Shino temporarily leaves the battlefront. To avoid potential risks to the Leaf, Kiba and Hinata are determined to continue their pursuit. Seeing their determination, Kakashi suggests a new tracking method.

Team Yamato heads out to provide backup for Team Kakashi. Right before his departure Naruto gets a hint to perfect his new jutsu by entering Gamatatsu's belly. Meanwhile, still with no leads, Kakashi and his team continue their pursuit mission when they are spotted and forced into an unplanned battle with Guren's men. Caught by a surprise attack, the search team is divided into two. During the struggle, Gozu and Rinji's abilities are revealed. What fate awaits the search team?

From the results of the analysis of the crystallized Parasitic insects, the enemies currently fighting Kakashi's team are identified as users of the Crystal Style, a rare type of jutsu. Still unclear on what Orochimaru's objective is, Tsunade cannot hide her irritation and anxiety. Meanwhile, the search team fends off Gozu and Rinji only to find themselves in a peculiar situation. Along with Shino's Parasitic insect barricade, they are all caught in the force field ninjutsu. It is Guren's Green Crystal Labyrinth Jutsu. Kakashi readies himself to fight directly with a Shouton user. Guren, who is now aware of the Leaf's battle style after their fight with her men, unleashes a different tactic. Meanwhile, on his way to assist Team Kakashi, Naruto once again encounters Yukimaru, the boy he met at the hot springs.

Shattering the force field with his newly mastered collaboration jutsu with the toads, Naruto and the reinforcement unit arrive at the battle site. But Naruto's new jutsu is repulsed by Guren's ability to crystallize fluids. Seeing that the battle is not in their favor, Kakashi, with help from the reinforcement unit, rescues Hinata, who was taken hostage, and the team barely manages to retreat from the battle. Guren attempts to go after the Leaf but is stopped by Kabuto, and she returns to her original mission. Arriving at the lake, Guren and her men resume their experiment and witness something extraordinary.

The Leaf ninja use The Bat to pursue Guren. Akamaru and Kiba detect a high level of chakra present at their destination. Convinced something abnormal is about to happen, Kakashi sends Naruto to the lake right before entering battle with the enemy. Meanwhile, Guren and the others execute their plan to capture the Three-Tailed Beast. Yukimaru is depleted of energy, forcing Guren and the others to suppress the now out-of-control Three Tails by force. When Guren becomes endangered, Yukimaru unleashes an unexpected power. Arriving at the lake with Gamakichi and Gamatatsu, Naruto comes across an unbelievable sight.

Inside the heavy mist, the Leaf ninja manage to rendezvous with Naruto. The team tightens their guard when they learn that the mist surrounding the lake causes illusions. The team discovers that the enemy is after the Three-Tailed Beast, and faced with this unexpected development, Kakashi decides to ask for Tsunade's guidance. Meanwhile Guren, left behind with Yukimaru, falls victim to the mist emitted by Three Tails and suffers from a mysterious illusion. Around the same time, Tsunade begins planning a counteroffensive measure after the Leaf Village receives a report of the Three Tails' appearance.
