Naruto Manga Volume 023 - Released 08/04/2004Chapter 199: Desire!! Chapter 200: According to Plan!! Chapter 201: Miscalculation!! Chapter 202: The Three Wishes!! Chapter 203: Sakon's Secret Chapter 204: Ukon's Abilities Chapter 205: Kiba's Decision!! Chapter 206: Suffering!! Chapter 207: The Game is up! Kabuto speaks with someone strapped to a bed, who turns out to be Kimimaro and wakes up to go out and enter the fight. Meanwhile, Naruto and Shikamaru catch up with Tayuya and Sakon. They clash, and Shikamaru's strategy nearly succeeds in capturing back Sasuke. However, Kimimaro enters from behind and reclaims Sasuke and flees. Shikamaru stays behind this time to fight with Tayuya, and Kimimaro takes off with Sasuke. Naruto pursues Kimimaro and Kiba goes off to fight with Sakon. The three fights go on at the same time, and Naruto catches up with Kimimaro, in Kyuubi transformation. He unleashes a massive Kage bunshin, all of which are cut down by Kimimaro's ability. Meanwhile, Kiba's fight escalates when Sakon unleashes his twin, Ukon, and his level 2. Ukon's level 2 enables him to fuse with Kiba's body, and slowly kill him from the inside out. However, Kiba stabs himself, seeing suicide as the only way to win the fight. He then flees from the battle scene alive, for the moment. Then we move to Shikamaru's fight. He is fighting against Tayuya, who uses her flute and 3 beasts controlled by that flute. Shikamaru skillfully employs his strategy to use his Kagemane no Jutsu to trap and manipulate the bests to his advantage, much like pawns in Shogi. |
