Ep 4: The Sand's Jinchuuriki


Deidara and Gaara face off. Deidara reaches for his pouch. Sand attacks him so he jumps back onto his bird and escapes. Sand follows as him as he flies through Sand Village. Gaara rides on top of sand to get closer to Deidara. Deidara is impressed that Gaara noticed him so quickly. Gaara replies that birds like that don't exist in the desert.

Other Sand-nin come out and see the battle and dead bodies. Sasori tells Yuura to head back and then he complains about Deidara taking too long. Sasori does not like to wait. Kankurou and other Sand-nin watch Gaara and Deidara fight. Sand rises up to engulf Deidara.

Naruto and Sakura continue to fight Kakashi. Sakura's attack from above misses again. Kakashi announces shinobi tactical knowledge #3 - ninjutsu. He forms seals at super speed then unleases a fireball! Then he grabs Naruto by the ankle announcing doton, shinjuu zanshu no jutsu (earth element, decapitation technique), but it was a clone. Kakashi next uses suiton, suiryuudan no jutsu (water element, water dragon missile technique), washing away Naruto and Sakura.

A huge claw of sand pursues Deidara, but his clay is now ready. He holds three little birds in each hand which become flying bombs. Gaara notes he uses stange explosives that can be controlled from a distance.

Naruto and Sakura discuss Kakashi's speed and ability. Naruto notes he's smarter than Shikamaru, has a better sense of smell than Kiba, better sharingan than Sasuke, better taijutsu than Fuzzy Eyebrows, and more experienced. Sakura says he must have a weakness. Naruto ponders for a while and then realizes the weakness.

Kakashi takes inventory of his equipment, but he really wants to read his book - the main character in Make-out Tactics has some sort of big secret.

Deidara creates more flying bombs that fly toward Gaara.

Naruto and Sakura attack Kakashi head on. Naruto says at the end of Make-Out Tactics, "Actually, the main character he..." Kakashi covers his ears, but he can read lips with his sharingan, so he also covers his eyes. Naruto and Sakura now have the bells!

Deidara's bomb did no damage to Gaara whose sand encased him in a protective shell, but now Gaara's sand engulfs Deidara.

End: Tsunade first praises Naruto for his strategy, but Shizune points out minors are not allowed to read it. Naruto is not 18 yet. But Naruto claims it was too boring so he only read 10 pages. Tsunade orders him to clean Academy bathrooms for three days.
Special lecture: Kakashi discusses Gaara, his siblings, Shukaku, and how Naruto changed him.

Review: Naruto's brilliant!

Notes:
Kakashi can use fire jutsu through his mask! (katon: goukakyuu no jutsu, fire element, grand fireball technique)
Sabaku Rou: Desert Prison

Thoughts:
Is that a camera on Deidara's left eye, or is it just a monocular?
