Naval battle, The released power (Japanese: 海戦 解き放たれた力 - Kaisen Tokihanatareta pawā) is episode 173 of the anime series Naruto.

[edit] Plot

Naruto uses the Nine-Tails' chakra to defeat Amachi (in a style vaguely similar to Rock Lee's Reverse Lotus), then collapses. Thanks to Amachi's weakened condition, Anko easily captures him.

The Umibozu ("Sea Boss") appears and Naruto summons Gamabunta to help him defeat it. Unfortunately, as a fresh-water creature in a salt-water environment, Gamabunta is extremely uncomfortable. Naruto & Gamabunta defeat the Sea Boss with Toad Oil Flame Bullet, and Gamabunta smacks Naruto around a little as punishment.

Anko does some more investigating, and triggers another repressed memory. She realizes that she was not cast off by Orochimaru; she chose to leave him of her own free will. Finally, Isaribi accompanies Team Anko and their prisoner back to Konoha. End of episode.
