| ruto follows Sasuke, who continues
to ignore him. Kimimaro is puzzled by Lee's drunken behavior and
put on guard by his faster, more unpredicatable moves. He soon finds
the sake bottle and says he will kill Lee painlessly. However Lee
is far from done fighting and staggers and swerves his way out of
being hit each time. He manages to land several blows on Kimimaro.
Meanwhile Gai explains the amount of damage Lee did after just a
sip of sake before and Tsunade worries about how long Lee's body
will hold up. Kimimaro finally tires of Lee's attacks and releases
his Curse Seal, injuring him just enough to bring him out of his
frenzy. Shikamaru continues his battle with Tayuya, slowing losing
his chakra and trying hopelessly to think of a plan. Kiba leaves
the river, realizing that his wound is too bad for him to remain
in the water. Ukon and Sakon quickly pick up his trail and one moves
in for the kill. At the same time Kimimaro explains his Bloodline
Limit to a now sober Lee then prepares to make the final blow and
Shikamaru reaches the limit of his chakra. At the last possible
moment all three Genin are saved by the arrival of the reinforcements
from the Sand. |
