Ep 143: Run, Ton-Ton! I'm depending on your nose!

Naruto looks around and also sees Izumo and Kotetsu lying on the ground. Medics arrive.

Shizune leads a team to track down Mizuki. Tonton stops and they are attacked by Fuujin and Raijin Mizuki appears behind them.

Tsunade looks over an info card on Orochimaru. A medic enters and reports that Asuma and Kurenai were brought back safely. Tsuande visits the two in the hospital. Asuma reports that all the prisoners escaped. Kureanai adds that the guards were captured. Naruto barges in. He insists on finding Sasuke. Tsunade lectures him when Tonton comes running to inform them about Shizune. Naruto runs off with Tonton. Kakashi appears carrying two prisoners that he picked up on his way back from a mission. Iruka sees Naruto rushing off. He's carrying one prisoner.

Fuujin and Raijin go through all the packs of Shizune's team.Then they leave with Mizuki for his girlfriend's house. She tells him she saw the Anbu nearby even all the way out here, away from Konoha. She tries to talk some sense into him and tells him because of Orochimaru a lot of people died and the villasge was in shambles. She defends Naruto saying how he fought for Konoha. Mizuki goes nuts and strangles her.

Tsunade gives Kakashi another S-rank mission. Iruka enters to report on his mission not realizing Kakashi is there. Kakashi takes Iruka's left hand and summons Pakkun on top of it. Kakashi disapppears and Tsunade gives Iruka his new mission.

Tonton and Nauro sense something and Naruto flies toward the shadow with his kunai but it's only Iruka. Pakkun talks to Tonton and tells her to go back to the village. Mizuki and the Stupid brothers look on.

Naruto, Iruka and Pakkun find Shizune alone. She says her comrades followed Mizuki. Pakkun notes that they threw prisoners clothes all over to confuse him. They continue to follow Pakkun who notes the smell is now very strong. But Iruka's concerned and says that if they enetr into this arroyo , they are more likely to be attacked by enemies from above. They come upon another prisoner robe. A huge rock drops from above. The Stupid brother attack. Iruka blocks a kunai thrown by Shizune at Naruto! It's Mizuki! Naruto and Iruka note that Mizuki's changed a lot. Very buff!

Mizuki asks Iruka when did he notice it was him. Iruka explained that when Shizune said her comrades were chasing after Mizuki, the only time a leader stays behind and tells their subordinates to go on is when the leader is dying or wounded but he was just bluffing and when he mentioned the route she didn't say anthing. It's safer to move to higher ground to see the enemies' movements. The prisoners' clothes were left there not to gain time but to drag them into a trap. Mizuki enters into a kunai fight with Iruka while the Stupid brothers attack Naruto. Naruto uses Tajuu kage bunshin.

Review: Interesting analysis by Iruka. Funny Kakashi-Iruka scene.

Notes:

Best line by Naruto re Stupid brothers: "looks like they're a few noodles short of a ramen bowl"

Raijin is the younger brother, no beard.

Shizune has very long sleeves.

Oro's info card has lots of question marks, and blanks.

Kakashi summons Pakkun without a blood sacrifice.

Tsubaki = Mizuki's girl

Arroyo = water carved gully or channel

Thoughts:

Who called the medics to the prison?

Pakkun calls Iruka "youngster" but he's only a year younger than Kakashi and Kakashi knew Pakkun as a pup.
