Ep 10: Sealing Technique: Phantom Dragon's Nine Seals

The two sand siblings come to help Kankurou in the hospital. Chiyo asks for the blood sample results. She says she’s seen nothing like it. Medics say it’s a new poison. They administered antidotes but none was effective. Chiyo muses that Sasori is confident in his poison or left Kankurou alive as a challenge.

Deidara and Sasori are now out of sand territory.

Chiyo pours something from a beaker into a test tube then onto a scroll. The medics informed them Konoha has sent help. Chiyo criticizes them for relying on allies.

Team Kakashi’s break is over. They have one day left until they reach Sand Village.
Chiyo is out of ideas. Kankurou may last one more day. She says Konoha's slug princess Tsunade is the only one better with poisons than she. During the Great War Tsunade managed to figure out how she made her poisons and designed antidotes for all of them. Chiyo detests “that damn slug girl.”

Tsunade sneezes. Her cup breaks. She takes out a lottery tickets and has won the grand prize - the worse possible omen. She calls for Shizune.

Team Kakashi arrives at the desert. Temari now takes the lead.

Deidara and Sasori arrive at a river. Across is a gate to their hideout. They walk on water and remove the seal on the huge boulder blocking the way. The leader (non-corporeal, astral-projection form) says they're late. They give him Gaara and he summons a huge statue with a large mouth and many eyes. He then calls the other Akatsuki who also appear in astral-projection form. They all jump onto the spread fingers of the statue.

Sandnin reports Captain Yuura is missing even his clothes and body.

Tsunade tells Shizune to send reinforcements to the Sand.

The statue opens its mouth. The leader says it'll take three days and three nights. He orders Zetsu to keep a lookout outside using his longest range. The leader peforms a series of series and dragon heads of light appear from the mouth of the statue to encompass Gaara.

Tsunade accidentally gives an S-rank mission to Konohamaru's team. Ebisu sneezes saying he might have a cold but Konohamaru accuses him of peeping at hot springs. Tsunade gives Gai's team the mission to support Kakashi's team. Gai sneezes from allergies. Gai sets a goal to get to the Sand in one day. Lee says half a day. Neji says they can make all the goals they want but it's going to take three days.

Team Kakashi waits out a sandstorm while Kankurou struggles in pain. The medics can only give him painkillers. Chiyo sits to rest and falls asleep immediately.

Team Kakashi finally arrives and heads directly to see Kankurou. When Kakashi arrives, Chiyo immediately attacks him, mistaking him for Konoha's White Fang.

End: Sakura hosts people in Konoha - focus on Tsunade. Sakura asks for her secrets on her amazing body. She responds: sleep sake and... Naruto interrupts and says Sakura's flat boobs are better than Tsunade's ridiculously large ones. You can guess their response!

Review: Some good humor - Konohamaru's vs Ebisu's reaction to an S-rank mission; and Team Gai

Notes:
Chiyo says “True alliances are nothing more than pipe dreams and when you really need them they'll just send foot soldiers.”
Ebizou = brother of Chiyo
Fuuin no jutsu, genryuu kyuufuujin: phantom dragon's nine seals
Takes three days from Konoha to Sand

Akatsuki members and their rings:
Akatsuki leader = zero
Deidara = blue (also means green or clear)
unknown = white
Itachi = crimson
Zetsu = boar
Kisame = south
Kazuku = north
Hidan = three
Sasori = orb

Thoughts:
There’s lots of sneezing going on.

Kisame suggests it’ll take longer than 3 days and nights since Oro is not there which means either Oro had more chakra than some of the members or he has additional special techniques.
Zetsu must be in the vicinity of Gaara but he’s not there corporeally. He’s able to keep a
lookout outside using his longest range clone?

Tsunade and Chiyo were active during the Great War which implies Tsuande was around twenty during the first war. She was about 37 during the Third War when Kakashi was 13. It seems too close to have three wars in less than twenty years unless the great war and the first war are not the same. First war should have been during the first Hokage’s time.
