[edit] Plot

The episode begins with Naruto still stuck in Ruiga's Suiton Seibun Houfutsu (Water Cannon Replica) with the piranhas. Naruto's getting eaten when suddenly Chouji appears in his Body Expansion Jutsu form and crushes the piranhas and Naruto. So now, Naruto, Yurinojou and Chouji try to escape when Ruiga summons more pirahnas to chase after them. As they're running away, Naruto notices Ruiga holding his tonfas like dowsing rods. They conclude that if they destroy the tonfas, they'll stop Ruiga's control over water. They're horribly wrong, and Ruiga summons a shark to chase them this time. Chouji trips and gets caught in the water and is about to get eaten by the shark when Naruto comes up with the idea for him to suck in all the water. Ruiga laughs, but doesn't realize the three have led him to a dry area where there's no water. By destroying the tonfas Ruiga forgot there wasn't any water in the rocky area, and now he's surrounded. Without any water to protect him, Chouji uses his special technique, Mizudan Suisha (Ballistic Waterwheel) and crushes Ruiga. Afterwards Yurinojou's ribs are broken and Chouji looks after him while Naruto goes to catch up to Hinata and Haruna, the princess, because there are still two jounins left.

As Hinata and the Princess talk, Haruna still has it in her head they could have used the peddlers as decoys. She doesn't seem to care Kikunojou died for her, as it is the way of the ninja.She tells Hinata she was held hostage as a child and was tormented, so she has no compassion or mercy for others. She calls Naruto a bad ninja for having feelings for others when Hinata tells her Naruto never had anyone growing up, but never thought of abandoning anyone for that reason. The Princess calms down and Hinata turns around for a second and the princess knocks out Hinata because she doesn't want to wait for the others.

Ruiga is still on the ground in a lot of pain when his elder brother Jiga comes. Ruiga asks for help, but Jiga kills him so him and the eldest brother Renga, can have more of Nano Country to themselves. Meanwhile, Naruto finds Hinata on the ground unconscious and wakes her up with the princess nowhere in sight. Naruto tells Hinata to look after Yurinojou, as he's running off to fight the next guy. It doesn't take him long to run into Jiga, who has a mace and scythe for weapons. As Naruto is fighting him and throwing shurikens the mace is magnetically clinging onto them. It turns out that's his ninjutsu, Magnetic Ninpo. He latches onto Naruto's headband and throws him in another rocky area full of steel. Naruto can't even touch Jiga since he turned himself into a magnet. Hinata comes, but a bit late, because Naruto gets defeated by Jiga's techinique; Jishaku Ninpo, Mugen Inseki (Magnetic Ninja Arts: Infinite Meteors.)
