Ep 42: Orochimaru vs. Jinchuuriki

Yamato clone relays info to real Yamato about the fourth tail. Clone observes that the chakra is trying to seek equilibrium to approximate Kyuubi's form. Shape and nature are completely different than the chakra that was leaking out before and can sense its evil desires using Naruto's body as a medium. Oro spits out hundreds of snakes all form swords in their mouths, but Naruto destroys them all with a smash of his fist - just swinging one arm causes a shockwave. Naruto reaches his arms into ground and comes out by Oro but Oro leaps away. The arms follow and try to grab him, but he's able to evade the arms. A snake appears from his arm to entwine the fox arm, but the snake burns upon contact. Another Oro forms from Oro's mouth to escape entanglement and to attack Naruto. He directly lands a punch to the mouth, but Naruto swings back and severs Oro in half. Snakes form from his torso and waste to reform his body.

Kabuto approaches saying it seems Sasori is not coming after all. Sasori was the only one who knew of the meeting and he didn't tell the other Akatsuki. But since the Konoha shinobi showed up, Kabuto doubts they forced that info from Sasori through interrogation. Sasori must have told them voluntarily, hoping Konoha would pry info from him to destroy Oro since Akatsuki is also after Oro. Someone in the group must have met Sasori and that's when he gave that info. Sasori hated Oro and was always talking about how he wanted to get back at him. He wouldn't have handed over that task unless he can't do it himself so he's either held captive or dead. Sakura tells him it's the latter.

Red and blue chakra balls fly out of Naruto. They come together and form a large black ball which then shrinks so Naruto can swallow the condensed chakra. Oro remarks even he would die if hit by it. Naruto's body swells up to a ball. Oro bites his thumbs. Naruto releases a huge attack from his mouth as Oro summons Sanjuu Rashoumon: Triple Rashoumon and huge three gates appear. The chakra ball wipes out the gates. As the dust clears, Oro is found upside down with his head in an unnatural position in the ground. Naruto approaches Oro's body. Suddenly a sword appears from the ground and stabs him, pushing him up into the air. The sword is attached to Oro's mouth and his neck stretches up with the sword.

End: Ninja Academy Special Lecture: Yamato gives a class about the Kyuubi - a fierce creature of mass destruction. Naruto can borrow its powers but releasing too much causes damage, and it seems the seal is weakening.

Review: Orochimaru shows some great but creepy techniques!

Notes: Sanjuu Rashoumon: Triple Rashoumon

Thoughts: Kabuto is great at psych analysis. Wonder why Sasori hated Oro.
