Naruto Shippuden Uncut

Kiba and his team are in pursuit of Hidden Grass Ninja who have stolen their scroll! Their foes are masters of escape and prove elusive even for Kiba and his team of expert sensory ninja. Their goal is just ahead of them, but unless they find the enemy, the Hidden Grass will get there first!

As the team prepares for dinner, Tenten pulls out a scroll that contains all the ingredients for okonomiyaki. Lee is amazed at her ability to conjure up anything and mentions that she is "convenient" to have around. Tenten takes offense and storms off. The following day, they run into Ajisai of the Hidden Rain and her team.

An ancient ruin in Demon Desert comes crumbling down during the battle for the scrolls. Tenten and Ajisai fall deep below the rubble. When they realize they're trapped, they call a truce in order to find a way out. While searching for an exit, they are attacked by a swarm of giant ants. Witnessing Ajisai's proficiency with the Summoning Jutsu, Tenten recalls her training with Guy.

Ino, Sakura and Choji trudge across a desert under the blazing sun without any provisions. Ino and Sakura are arguing when a giant scorpion attacks and injures Sakura. While Ino tends to SakuraÕs wound with Medical Ninjutsu, she remembers back to when she ducked out of her Ino-Shika-Cho training.

As Ino and her team head toward an oasis, they are attacked by a team of Sand Shinobi comprised of Ameno, Shishio, and Kouji. Ameno is a Medical Ninja whose skills rival SakuraÕs. She also has a jutsu that proves difficult to counter. Kouji is a ninja who specializes in power-based attacks, like Choji. Shishio has a jutsu that enables him to disappear and stalk Team 10.

Sakura and her team continue their trek across the desert towards the goal. Their continuous battles have depleted Sakura's chakra, so they stop to rest. Just then, they encounter a puppet manipulated by a rival team from the Sand and end up being discovered. Sakura is helpless since her chakra is not restored yet.

Ino and Choji fight to protect an immobilized Sakura although they have depleted most of their chakra due to the relentless fighting. Feeling helpless, Sakura recalls how Naruto and Sasuke always protected her. Sakura realizes that she has trained with Lady Tsunade and regains her confidence that she can protect Ino and Choji.

Sand Jonin Fugi sneaks into the Demon Desert and creates a massive sandstorm in order to assassinate Gaara, the Fifth Kazekage. Due to the magnitude of the storm, the Second Exam is postponed for the sake of safety. Then Matsuri and the Hidden Sand team fall into quicksand! Unaware of the sinister trap, Gaara ignores everyone's warnings and sets out to rescue Matsuri's team.

Gaara heads out to rescue Matsuri and the others but is attacked by a mysterious priest who binds him with a Chakra Chain to capture his Tailed Beast. The massive sandstorm subsides, but panic breaks out in Hidden Sand Village over Gaara's whereabouts.

Neji and the team come across Matsuri collapsed in the desert and find out that Gaara is in danger. Meanwhile, the chains of a mysterious priest bind Gaara and Fuu. Gaara believes no one will come to rescue them, but Fuu refuses to give up hope.

Gaara meets with Fugi, the mastermind behind the assassination attempt on his life. He confides that perhaps, after all the fear and pain he has wrought upon the Sand, he has no right to be their leader. But there are those who accept him without prejudice--the next generation.

After his Tailed Beast is extracted, Naruto is on the verge of dying. Sakura desperately tries to save him, but Naruto's heart gives out. Meanwhile, Sasuke has been stabbed in the chest by Madara, and his chakra wanes. Karin and the others rush to get there in time to save him.

Madara has transformed into the Jinchuriki of the Ten Tails and appears before Kakashi. Kakashi and the others combine their powers to attack, but they are no match for Madara. Obito comes to his senses and challenges Madara alone. Seeing the Obito of old inspires Kakashi, who remembers when they were friends. Kakashi and Obito form a team and stand up to the formidable Madara!

Kakashi has changed for the worse, and Obito doesn't know why. He runs into Kakashi and tries to talk to him, but Kakashi gives him the cold shoulder. After missing the graduation ceremony, Obito is surprised to find himself assigned to Team Minato with Kakashi and Rin!
