Once this fades, Naruto recognizes him and asks him to return to Konoha with him. Sasuke merely laughs and continues to Orochimaru. Kimimaro takes advantage of Naruto's distraction and comes up behind him. Luckily, Rock Lee intervenes and takes on Kimimaro, fully recovered and ready for action. The fight progresses, and Lee asks to take a quick break for him to drink his medicine. However, this turns out to be Sake that he had grabbed by accident. Gai explains that Lee is a natural user of the Drunken Fist, and he shows that in his fight with Kimimaro. Kimimaro unleashes his curse seal, which causes Lee to sober up quickly. All 3 of the simeltaneous fights seem to be looking bad for our heroes, until the Gaara, Kankuro, and Temari intervene to save the day, now allies to Konoha. Temari and Kankuro finish their fights quickly, but Kimimaro unleashes his level 2 and gives Gaara a little bit more trouble. Even with Gaara's impressive new array of techniques, it takes a clash between Kimimaro's ultimate technique and Gaara's ultimate defense. |
