The enemy is "Shinobazu" (Japanese: 敵は『不忍』 - Teki wa "Shinobazu") is the episode number 209 of the anime series Naruto, and the first episode of the 9th season.
[edit] Plot
Rock Lee and Naruto are "bonding" by fighting each other to a draw near a river (Lee vs. 100 of Naruto's Shadow-Clones) when Sakura comes to tell them they have a mission. Naruto, Sakura and Lee are assigned to guard Gantetsu, a captured rogue ninja. He was part of a gang called known as "Shinobazu". The Leaf ninjas will help to transport him to the capital village of the Forest Country, where he will be tried for his crimes. They quickly discover that this will not be an easy mission.
Naruto learns that the captain of the guard, Todoroki, has a personal grudge against Gantetsu. Meanwhile, the rest of the Shinobazu gang prepares to attack. They dig a huge trench ("Cunning Topography" jutsu), diverting part of the river into the forest. One of them uses a chakra-infused wire to cut the ship in half. The top half, with Sakura and Rock Lee, continues to drift downriver. Meanwhile, the bottom half, with Naruto, Gantetsu and Todoroki, is drawn into the new channel. The gang, led by Shura Sanjuro, lands on the bottom half and demands that Gantetsu be turned over to him. Naruto declines, of course.
[edit] Trivia
- Shura Sanjuro is (most likely) originally from the Village Hidden in the Rain, since he uses an umbrella-style weapon which is typical of that village.
- Shura uses a weapon similar to Aoi(The one who tricked Morino Idate)
