[edit] Plot
With so many participants still left, the groups are told that they will be pitted against each other in preliminary matches. Kabuto leaves, claiming he is too injured to go on. In truth he's reporting back to Orochimaru. His history is discussed among the Jonins. Then Sasuke is told he has to fight. They know that Sasuke was given the cursed seal and if it takes over they will stop him.
Kakashi tells Sasuke that he shouldn't use his sharingan, because of the cursed seal. Sasuke's opponent is Yoroi Akado (also a Sound Village spy), who has a unique chakra-absorbing ability. Right away, he has Sasuke at a severe disadvantage.
[edit] Trivia
- If the selection screen is paused that other matches include: Hinata vs Choji, Naruto vs Ino, and Sakura vs Shikamaru.
