| This episode starts off with Tsunade
relaxing in a hot spring sipping on sake. Shizune comes marching
in presenting Tsuande with several huge piles of paper work. Tsunade
picks up the first one indicating that the Kamizurui clan is in
unrest. Who are they you ask? They are a clan of bug users (from
the hidden rock village) just like the Aburame clan of Konoha except
they use bees as a medium. Tsunade just crumples the report up,
knowing that there aren't enough of those clan members left to cause
any problems. Over in the Bikouchuu forest, the three members of
the Kamizurui clan (I'll just reffer to them as the three stooges)
realize that Shino is definately a member of the famous Aburame
clan. Shino shows everyone a picture of the Bikouchuu so they can
make a match. Naruto states that he has allready seen many of them
in his own home. Shino corrects him, telling him that those are
cockroaches. From their hiding place, the stooges decide to let
Shino and the others find the Bikouchuu for them. And their off!
Naruto just stands around looking for them while Shino uses a technique
that attracts bugs with a giant spider web of chakra, but no match.
Shino is well aware that they are being watched, but he just ignores
it and gets his destruction bugs ready. Meanwhile, Kiba's having
no luck sniffing it out, and Hinata's Byakuugan is showing her didly,
but she does also see the three stooges who are using an invisibility
technique. Everyone now knows of the three stooges wherabouts (these
guys suck at hide-and-go-seek). Naruto comes sprinting over claiming
that he found a Bikouchuu but its only a helmet beetle. After break
time, Naruto comes over again with another Bikouchuu sighting. He
did find a Bikouchuu this time, but there is a slight problem; IT'S
FREAKIN HUGE!!!. As Shino explains how vicious a Bikouchuu is by
nature, Naruto pokes it with a stick in its long horn. The Bikouchuu
then goes on a rampage, passing right by Naruto and the others,
and crashing right into the three stooges hiding spot. Cut to night.
Everyone is asleep except for Hinata whose doing something with
the water again. One of the stooges (the girl) are impressed with
Hinata's work ethic. That morning everyone is back searching for
the Bikouchuu while Naruto is still asleep. Shino senses that it
is going to rain soon which means bad news since the Bikouchuu only
lay their eggs when it rains. Naruto goes into serious mode knowing
that this is his only clue to Sasuke's wherabouts. Over at the three
stooges hiding spot (which sucks), they decide that if Shino and
the others don't find a Bikouchuu, then they will kill him (like
they could). Turns out that the Aburame clan was the cause of their
clan's loss of status and power. Now Hinata gets into serious mode
after thinking about her father dissing her ("try not to get
in anyone's way"). She activates her Byakuugan which is not
much more effective since it's rainning. She eventually sees one
and Naruto manages to snag it. Later on Hinata is washing herself
in the river when some shirukens come flying at her. She easily
dodges them. The three stooges are impressed. The ugly girl then
summons a bunch of bees. Hinata destroys them all but each one she
destroys splatters wax on her, instantly hardening. One of the bees
then manages to sting her, knocking her out cold. Shino and the
others wonder what is taking Hinata so long when a shiruken with
a not attatched comes at them. They'll give up Hinata in exchange
for the Bikouchuu. The episode ends with a shot of the three stooges
with Hinata tied up behind them in a giant bee hive. |
