“The Top 5 Ninja Battles”
“Naruto and Sakura Haruno host a special recap episode. The episode features highlights of five battles from the Sasuke Retrieval arc: the battle between Naruto and Sasuke Uchiha on the hospital roof, the battle between Choji and Jirobo, the battle between Kiba and Sakon, the battle between Neji and Kidomaru, and the last battle between Naruto and Sasuke. There are also interviews with Choji, Kiba, and Neji, who all beat up Naruto for making fun of them and saying things like “Choji’s fight made him sweat.” At the show’s end, Jiraiya announces a surprise guest--Orochimaru--who allows Sakura and Naruto to see Sasuke briefly.”

Jiraiya on the TV screen said he couldn’t divulge the details of his location, saying he was at a certain someone’s hidden lair. Afterwards, that’s when he announced the surprise guest, Orochimaru. When Orochimaru appears on the TV screen, ominous music plays in the background to highlight that he is still the main antagonist and is against Naruto, the protagonist. He still has Sasuke, and it gives a glimpse that Sasuke is still training under Orochimaru in hopes of getting the power to kill Itachi Uchiha. Thereafter, the screen cuts, and then the episode ends.
The next episode will just be another mission Naruto will take part in with his teammates.
