Naruto Episode 58: A Evil Hand Sneaks Up! A Hospital Room Targeted.

by on Comments



Baki returns to find that Gaara is nowhere to be found. He reprimands Gaara’s siblings for not watching him. Meanwhile, Gaara makes his way to Konoha Hospital.

Shikamaru sits by Naruto’s bedside as he sleeps off his exhausting battle with Gamabunta. When Shikamaru informs him that he’s been sleeping for 3 days and the Chuunin resumes tomorrow, Naruto flips out anxiously. Shikamaru tells him to calm down, and Naruto suddenly realizes he is famished. Luckily, Shikamaru brought a fruit basket for Choji - who ate too much Yakiniku and is also in the hospital sick - but the doctor forbid it, so Naruto can have it.

Sakura decides to pay another visit to Lee in the hospital and on her way, picks up another Narcissus flower. As she passes by a vacant nurses’ station, Gaara eerily lurks behind her. Sakura quietly replaces Lee’s flower and leaves as Gaara enters the room undetected. He walks to Lee’s bed and watches over him, remembering Gai’s protective words for his beloved Lee. He then recalls his childhood nanny and flips out. Soon, Gaara’s sand engulfs an unconscious Lee.

Fortunately, Shikamaru and Naruto happen to walk in at just the right time. Shikamaru Shadow Binds while both demand to know what Gaara wants with Lee. Gaara replies that he wants to kill him, and he will kill them too if they stand in his way. Shikamaru replies that he and Naruto still have their uber-powerful final techniques that they didn’t show in the prelims. Naruto voices that he has a real monster inside him. Unimpressed, Gaara explains that he does too…

Gaara’s mother died while giving birth to him. His father wanted to make him the strongest Sand Shinobi, so he sealed Shukaku, a wraith of an old Hidden Sand priest whose spirit had previously been sealed in a tea kettle. He was created as a son of the Kazekage and learned the secrets of Shinobi from his overprotective dad. He believed that was love until the incident…

Six years ago, when he was only 6 years old, Gaara’s father attempted his first assassination attempt on Gaara’s life. As Gaara’s power grew, so did the villagers’ fear of him. He was unstable because he was born from Jutsu… and while he was the village’s secret tool, he was also a dangerous object. He’s not quite sure why he still lives, but because he does, he needed a reason to continue living. That reason is to kill others. Because of what he is, he could be assassinated at any time. Therefore, he had to come to terms with the fear of death. He had to fight for himself and to love himself because no one else would look out for him. And so, he’s realized that as long as there are others that he might kill, his existence will continue.

As Naruto listens to Gaara’s story, he realizes that he too could have become like Gaara. He has Iruka to thank for saving him. Iruka recognized his existence and made him feel alive. Overcome with fear, Naruto realizes that there is no way he can win against Gaara and freezes as Gaara attacks with his sand.

Fortunately, Gai enters the room at that point and stops the fight. Gaara pulls his sand back into his gourd and walks away. Before he goes, he vows he will kill them.

Naruto Episode 57: He Flew! He Jumped! He Sank! Enter the Frog Boss!!

by on Comments




Naruto is overjoyed to find himself sitting atop a very large, unmistakable, real frog. The frog, however, is not pleased that he was summoned, nor can understand why there is this noisy kid on his head. Believing that Jiraiya must be the culprit, he demands that Jiraiya show himself at once. Naruto, a bit scared by the pissed off toad in front of him, bravely informs the toad king, Gamabunta, that it was he, not Jiraiya, who summoned him. Gamabunta laughs in disbelief. A small boy like him couldn’t possibly summon him, the great Gamabunta. That really irritates Naruto, who immediately demands that he is now Gamabunta’s master. The toad king rhetorically asks if Naruto wants to die. He wouldn’t accept a master that backs down so easily. With that, the frog jumps out of the cliff and walks away.

Now Naruto is mad and decides that he will not leave the toad alone until they come to an understanding. He then climbs to onto Gamabunta’s nose and proposes a deal - if he can sit there all day without falling, Gamabunta will agree to work with him. Thinking this to be a breeze, the toad king starts shaking his head and running about madly.

In town, Choji, Asuma and Shikamaru continue their training rituals while Temari and Kankuro watch over Gaara. Temari remembers how they were commanded to enter the Chuunin so the Sand could crush Konoha. The bitterness stems from the alliance treaty that was signed between the feudal lord of the Country of Wind and Konoha. The feudal lord demanded that the Hidden Village of the Sand reduce their weaponry while outsourcing jobs to Konoha not the Sand. He was responsible for reducing the number of ninjas in the country. The Village tried to compensate by creating higher caliber ninjas like Gaara. However, Kazekage had enough and decided to cooperate with the Hidden Village of Sound to destroy Konoha. He hoped this would restore the dignity of the Sand and send a stern warning to the feudal lord. Gaara will be a pivotal player in this battle. Temari is surprised at the bitterness of her village, particularly after so many people died fighting for the alliance treaty. Now they are going to war to destroy it.

Meanwhile, Gamabunta tries frantically to get Naruto off his head through a variety of sudden movements and even diving underwater for a period. Naruto persists as Jiraiya watches from the sidelines.

At the Hidden Village of Sand, Baki informs Kazekage of the Sound’s plan of attack and delivers Kabuto’s scroll.

As the sun prepares to set, Gamabunta asks Naruto his name. He then makes a last ditch effort to throw Naruto off. Using the last of his chakra to do Kage Bunshin, Naruto persists just as the sun sets. He then falls to the ground, asleep.

Jiraiya uses the opportunity to toss Naruto’s contract down to Gamabunta. The toad king replies that he knows Naruto was the one who summoned him… the last person that stayed on his head was the Fourth. He will now come to Naruto’s aid if summoned.

Naruto Episode 56: Life or Death?! Mastering the Move is Life Threatening!

After three weeks of training, a weary Naruto summons a frog/tadpole hybrid before passing out. Meanwhile Anko, still feeling guilty about her past confrontation with Orochimaru, is consoled by an understanding Hokage. He tells her that at this point, no ninjas in Konoha could take on Orochimaru, including himself. Anko wishes the Fourth was still alive… but the Third quickly tells her that he’s dead. They must defend the village on their own.

Jiraiya tells Naruto that in order to learn to summon, he must train harder, as if his life depended on it. Naruto agrees, and Jiraiya and Naruto spend the first part of the day living as if Naruto were about to die soon :) They bathe in the hot springs, then head into town to eat Ramen (though Jiraiya won’t treat). He then tells Naruto to go hug the girl he likes - under the guise of training. After second guessing himself, a nervous Naruto hunts down Sakura only to be met with one of her uppercuts.

Afterwards, Jiraiya asks Naruto if he has anything else he wants to do. When Naruto replies no, Jiraiya punches him hard in the gut, knocking him out. He then picks up Naruto’s unconscious body and tosses him over a cliff. He is to find mastery of the summoning technique within this experience or he will die.

Naruto finds himself falling into a steep pit with no hope of grabbing hold of the rocks along the side to slow his fall or save him. His only hope is Kyubi.

In town, Iruka tells the kids about the four Hokages. The Fifth has yet to be determined. The Third then wanders into class and Iruka explains that he was once known as the Professor, the strongest of all the Hokages. The kids aren’t impressed with the old man they see before them. The Third tells them they are all very young and maybe one day they will become the Hokage. He tells them to always protect those important to them - those you accept, believe, and love from your heart - regardless of what path they choose in life. The kids ask if the Hokage if he has anyone like that. He replies his grandson, Konohamaru and everyone in this village.

Meanwhile, Naruto awakens in a damp cellar. He hears growling from below and recognizes the red chakra. As he walks towards the glow, he sees the seal that binds the vicious Kyubi. Kyubi encourages Naruto to come closer, only to take a swipe at him with his massive paw. Naruto suddenly comes to the realization that this is the Nine Tails who gives him the red chakra. And so he bargains with the demon fox. Since Kyubi is currently residing in his body, he should pay Naruto rent - with his chakra. Entertained, Kyubi agrees, knowing that if Naruto dies, he will also die. With the pact made, Naruto regains consciousness of the ground below and performs his summoning technique. This time he is quite successful and finds himself atop a very large, unmistakable toad.

Naruto practices his summoning technique religiously, though with little improvement, as Sakura sits alone in her room concerned for Sasuke.

The Hokage alerts the Konoha nins that Hayate’s body was found near Kikyo Castle. Kakashi suspects that Hayate was spying on Kabuto and that Orochimaru probably has something to do with this. They debate whether they should stop the Chuunin exam, but decide that continuing would be in their best interest after Orochimaru’s warning. They also realize that some of their ally countries must be working with the Sound. The elders explain that an alliance treaty is equivalent to a verbal agreement, like the Ninkai Taisen (Great Ninja War) was… however, if someone was to betray them… They decide to send out some of the higher level nins to find out more.

Meanwhile, Sakura worries herself sick over Sasuke. She wonders if she should have stopped him… Later, Sakura visits Ino’s flower shop to buy flowers for Sasuke and Lee-san on her way to the hospital. Ino chooses a rose, while Sakura chooses the Narcissus, the brave flower that stands valiantly even in the coldness of winter and waits for the spring.

As Sakura and Ino head to the hospital, they hear Choji gobbling down Yakiniku for lunch with Shikamaru and Asuma. Asuma explains that they are preparing Choji to help Shikamaru train. Elsewhere, TenTen helps Neji practice while Kuronai works with Shino, and Naruto is still summoning tadpoles.

Ino and Sakura enter Sasuke’s room at the hospital only to find he is nowhere to be found. All his clothes are gone. Sakura immediately is concerned that he went to Orochimaru. Elsewhere, Kakashi trains himself by climbing a cliff one handed. When he reaches the top, he finds Sasuke waiting.

The girls then check on Lee, who also is not in his room. A badly injured but determined Lee is outside pushing himself to the limit with a series of one armed pushups. When the nurse finds him, she severely reprimands him. Sakura remembers what Ino had told her earlier - that Lee is seriously injured and with his body, he will have to give up being a ninja. Meanwhile, Lee continues his pushups until he falls to the ground wearily. The nurse runs for a stretcher as Sakura and Ino watch over his unconscious body. Sakura asks Ino why boys always push themselves too far.

Back in the hospital, Lee looks over to see the flower that Sakura left for him. Meanwhile, a frustrated but determined Naruto summons a tadpole with hind legs.

Episode 54: Taught directly by the Pervert Sennin. Its the Summon No Jutsu!

by on Comments





Ebisu meets Jiraiya as Naruto sleeps and asks about Jiraiya’s purpose for visiting. Meanwhile, Dosu confronts Gaara about his match with Sasuke. Gaara, uber-freaky now during the full moon, goes psycho and transforms into his ultimate form (which we only get a silhouette of). Still seeking out blood, Gaara quickly kills Dosu.

Elsewhere, Hayate catches Kabuto conversing with Sand nin, Baki. Kabuto admits Orochimaru ordered him to abduct Sasuke. Baki warns him that if Konoha learns of his intentions, it may be problematic for the Sand’s plans to crush Leaf Village. Kabuot hands him a scroll which contains battle plans and an account of Gaara’s abilities to take back to Kazekage. Sensing he’s just overheard some ultra-sensitive info, Hayate tries to sneak way to let the Hokage know immediately, but Kabuto and Baki are on to him.

Baki then confronts Hayate on the rooftop. Hayate attacks with Konoha-ryu Mikazuki no Mai (Dance of the Crecent Moon) Baki and deliver a striking blow to his shoulder. Baki is able to block before any major damage is done and, keeping control over Hayate’s sword, performs a wind attack to slash Hayate.

The next day, Jiraiya continues his girl watching activities as Naruto desperately tries to get the pervert sennin to train him. Finally he gives up and transforms into sexy no jutsu to sweet talk Jiraiya. Jiraiya gives in and soon lectures Naruto on controlling Kyubi’s chakra. Naruto has tremendous difficulties tapping into the red chakra, and Jiraiya realizes that Naruto can only utilize Kyubi when he’s in a life threatening situation or enraged. However, if Naruto can learn to tap into Kyubi’s power source, it will become his greatest weapon. He also explains that because Naruto has such great stamina, he should focus on power rather than control and learn to release as much chakra as possible. To do so, he decides to teach Naruto how to summon. (Kuchiyose-no-jutsu)

To summon, the summoner must make a blood contract with an animal. He will then be able to call for their help in battle with ninjutsu. The technique itself is a space-time ninjutsu. However, in order for Naruto to learn this, he must first use up all his regular chakra so he can tap into Kyubi’s chakra. Naruto quickly does Kage Bunshin and engages in a battle royal with his 20+ clones.

Soon, Naruto has won and is completely exhausted. Jiraiya then slices his hand and uses his bleeding hand to summon a toad. The toad then gives Naruto the summoning contract that was handed down from prior generations. If Naruto is to summon them, he must write his name with blood. Then, he is to put blood on each of the fingertips of one hand and place the bloody handprint underneath his name. To summon, he must channel the chakra and use the hand he made the agreement with to call forth a toad. The seals used in summoning are boar, dog, hen, monkey, and sheep.

Naruto does the necessary actions and soon, the contract is official. Excitedly, Naruto summons his first toad… er tadpole.

Meanwhile, the other Konoha nins find Hayate’s dead body and realize there’s trouble…

Naruto Episode 53: Hey, Stop for a Second! Pervert-Sennin Appears!

Naruto walks over to Ebisu and asks if he’s ok. He does Senen Goroshi (1000 years of pain) and sticks his fingers up Ebisu’s butt. Ebisu doesn’t move. Naruto then asks what the hell the big frog is and who the open pervert is. The man replies that he’s the spirit master of the Toad from Myouboku-mountain called Gama-Sennin.

Naruto then asks him what he’s going to do since he just took out his trainer. Jiraiya says he’s a writer, authoring such books as Icha Icha Paradise, the book Kakashi reads. Jiraiya is at the bath house gathering inspiration for future novels. Naruto doesn’t care and demands the Sennin to train him, but Jairya refuses. Soon, Naruto begins his quest to get Jiraiya to train him.

He soon finds Jiraiya harassing a lady in the local bar. Naruto demands that Jiraiya has a responsibility to train him. Uninterested, Jiraiya stuffs Naruto into a pot and walks away.

Later, Jiraiya sits in the forest longing for a girl. Naruto runs at him throwing stars, but Jiraiya dodges with Kawarimi no Jutsu (Body Swapping). Jiraiya then agrees if Naruto does him a favor, he may help him. Naruto should gather well ripened fruit. When Naruto returns with two watermelon, he finds Jiraiya distracted by two women. He again asks for training to pass the Chuunin final and surpass the Hokage. When Jiraiya again refuses, Naruto transforms into Sexy No Jutsu. Jiraiya is infatuated and agrees to train him on one condition - that he always stay in that form in front of him.

Finally, Jiraiya agrees to train Naruto and they continue his water training. Naruto still can’t control his chakra, so after Jiraiya watches amused, a frustrated Naruto strips to his boxers and tries again. As he concentrates on moving chakra into his feet, the seal on his stomach appears. Jiraiya then understands. The seal of Kyubi has been doubly sealed by two Shishou-Fuin (Four symbol seal). That’s the Hakke-Fuin style (Eight Trigram seal). The fourth Hokage gave Kyubi’s power to him. But the flow of chakra has been sealed by Gogyu-Fiun (Five element seal). By putting an odd number seal on top of the even numbered seals, the chakra of Naruto and Kyubi mix together out of order and become unstable. That’s why he can’t channel chakra well. Jiraiya realizes it must be Orochimaru’s work and tells Naruto to raise his arms. He then uses Gogyo-Kaiin (Five element opening seal) to release the seal.

Jiraiya then asks Naruto to try walking on water again. This time he has no trouble at all. Pleased, Jiraiya then decides to teach Naruto his first technique. He explains that Naruto has two types of chakra and asks if Naruto recognizes each. Naruto replies that he did gain a lot of chakra once, but he doesn’t remember it. It was a different feeling. He says his chakra is usually blue, but the new one is red if he described it in terms of colors.

Jiraiya and Naruto end the day in the hot springs. Naruto asks again about the great technique as the toad emerges from the hot spring.

That night, Jiraiya watches over Naruto as Ebisu approaches. He apologizes that he took his student. Ebisu, on the other hand, is surprised to see the Sennin in town and mentions the Hokage has been looking for him. Jiraiya tells him he has no intention of getting involved with Orochimaru.

Naruto Episode 52: Ebisu returns! I dont allow shameless deeds!

At the hospital, Kakashi introduces Naruto to his new trainer, the closet pervert, Ebisu. Naruto can’t believe Ebisu will be his sensei. After all, he beat him with harem no jutsu. Ebisu then begs Naruto not to tell Kakashi anything else. Kakashi tries to explain that Ebisu is a special jounin and can teach him the basic skills. His are worse than both Sakura’s and Sasuke’s. Kakashi then leaves the two. Naruto then accuses Ebisu of being weaker than him. Ebisu then challenges Naruto. If Naruto can completely escape him, he will personally tell kakashi to find another trainer. Naruto accepts and the challenge begins.

Naruto sees a movie poster with a pretty girl and assumes her pose. Ebisu sees through the disguise. With a Kage Bushin no Jutsu, Naruto takes off, but Ebisu also knows that technique, replicates, and chases after him. One by one, the naruto clones are exposed.

Finally, Naruto gives in and Ebisu explains that Naruto is not good at controlling his chakra. When Sakura uses the bushin no jutsu, she’s great at controlling chakra. Sasuke is slightly worse at channeling chakra, but his chakra control is great. He uses a bit more chakra than Sakura. Naruto is bad at both channeling and controlling chakra. He uses more chakra than both Sasuke and Sakura. He’d only replicate twice for each of his teammates who’d replicate 5 times. But he does have far more stamina than everyone else.

Ebisu takes naruto to the hot springs near a women’s bath house to begin his chakra training. Naruto is to walk on the hot water. Ebisu explains the tree climbing without using his hands was similar to walking on water. To float on water, he needs to continuously release the appropriate amount of chakra onto the water from the bottom of his feet, and need to balance it with body in order to float. It trains him to release a controlled amount of chakra. Ebisu then demonstrates.

Naruto tries again and again, but keeps falling in. Soon Naruto starts to get the hang of it, though he falls in when he sees a man peeping in the women’s bath. The man turns with his frog and Jiraiya takes Ebisu out.

The tenth match begins and Ino starts cheering on the Fatso. Choji then does Ninpou Baika no Jutsu! (Multiply size) and blows up to protect his ears. Konoha-ryu Taiketsu (konoha style), Nikudan Sensha (Human body Tank) and finally attacks with his large boulder body with Poccharikei Banzai (Hail the Chubby). Dosu dodges out of the way again, and Choji slams into the wall. Dosu then uses his air attack to use Choji’s body (70% water which amplifies the frequency) against him. Choji is quickly defeated.

The prelims end. The Hokage congratulates the 10 who will continue to the final exam.

Meanwhile, Kabuto meets with Orochimaru. Kabuto accuses him of hesitating to kill the Hokage, and reveals that he knows Sasuke fits into his plan. Kabuto then accuses Orochimaru of not trusting him with the info that Dosu and co. were his pawns in the tournament. Orochimaru slyly gives Kabuto the duty of watching over Sasuke, the boy who’s been living with hate… knowing he can’t die until he kills his brother, Itachi. However, Naruto is also interesting, and seems to have a significant influence on altering Sasuke’s intent for revenge. Kabuto should keep the two separated… and if he wants to stop Orochimaru so badly, here’s his opportunity to kill Sasuke… Orochimaru then replies that he’s kidding.

The Hokage explains that in the real exam, the finalists must show their true ability as representative of their countries. Therefore it will take place a month from now. This will allow him time to invite the Daimyo and Shinobi heads of other countries. It’s also a prep period for them. They must analyze what they’ve learned. Fights up till now were against unknown enemies. Now they know their enemies and may have shown their enemies everything they have.

Kabuto walks to the hospital room where Sasuke lies, as Orochimaru watches suspiciously from a distance. Kabuto pulls a knife, but Kakashi walks in to stop him. Bodies of defeated Anbu lie on the floor. Kakashi suspects Kabuto is working with Orochimaru, but Kabuto avoids the question as Kakashi threatens him. Kabuto reminds him that he has the upper hand and could easily kill Sasuke from his current position. Kakashi then attacks but Kabuto does Shinkon No Jutsu to control the dead bodies by temporarily moving their hearts to escape Kakashi. He even changed the face of the body and their smells. Kakashi is impressed, knowing he must get stronger.

The Hokage continues to lecture the finalists that there is one thing that must be done before they go. Anko tells everyone to pick a number from the box. The Hokage then reveals the tournament matches: Naruto vs Neji, Gaara vs. Sasuke, Kankuro vs. Shino, Temari vs winner below, Dosu vs. Shikamaru.

Shikamaru then asks if because it’s a tournament, can only one can become chuunin? The Hokage tells him no. Everyone is judged by himself and the other daimyo. It’s possible everyone will become Chuunin or that no one will pass. It depends on their abilities.

Naruto goes to the hospital to visit Sasuke. He sees Kakashi and begs him to train him. Kakashi then appoints Ebisu to train Naruto while he will attend to Sasuke.

Naruto Episode 50: Oh, Rock Lee! This is how a man lives!!

by on Comments



Lee goes Super Saiyan times two as a pillar of energy engulfs him. Everyone watches as the energy surrounding himturns red. Kakashi explains that Lee’s opened the third gate, Sei-Mon. Sho-Mon, the fourth gate opens. He then attacks with lightning speed, tossing Gaara up in the air as his sand armor begins to crack. Lee then attacks attain and again as the sand armor starts to break away. Kakashi sees that his muscle just snapped. To-Mon, the fifth gate is open. This is the move Lee was preparing for Neji, but he’ll use it on Gaara instead. He hits Gaara hard, as Gai explains Lee has done Ura Renge (Reverse Lotus), the ultra high speed Taijutsu that no one can touch. It’s impossible for the sand to catch up. Lee then slams Gaara to the ground. With the final move, Gaara’s gourd turns to sand and Lee falls to the ground motionless.

To everyone’s horror, Gaara’s sand cushions his fall and he remains able to fight. He then sends his sand after Lee in Sabuku-Kyu (Desert Coffin). Lee can barely move as the sand grabs his hand and leg and tosses him to the ground. He then sends another sand attack, but Gai steps in and saves Lee from Gaara’s death trap. Gaara than asks why Gai saved him. Gai explains that Lee is his beloved student, as Gaara is declared the match victor.

An unconscious Lee then staggers to his feet as everyone watches in amazement. Gai watches proudly as a medical team hurries over to attend a badly beaten Lee. One medic breaks the horrible news to Gai… all Le’s bones have been broken and all his muscles have been snapped. The damage to his left arm and leg are severe. Lee will no longer live as a ninja with that body.

An emotional Naruto can’t believe it, as Kakashi tries to calm him. Lee risked his life to reach the stage where he could fight Neji, Gaara, and even Naruto. Neji looks on, concerned, thinking to himself that Lee never realized that heaven forbids a guy to go to the next level if it means risking his life to get there.

Kakashi then apologizes to Gai about his harsh words. He then tells they should move to let the final match begin.

Finally, Chouji vs. Dosu.




Naruto Episode 49: Hot-blooded Loser! Finally the Forbidden Secret Technique Blo

by on Comments





To everyone’s dismay, Gaara escaped the Initial Lotus at the moment Lee cringed in pain. He now appears behind Lee as his inner demon is now awakened and thirsty for blood. Gaara has his way with Lee, who is now exhausted from using his Lotus technique. Gai and Kakashi explain that Lee used the forbidden Renge (Lotus) technique, which while it allows its executor to move at incredibly high speeds, it also does immense damage to its executor’s body. That’s why it’s forbidden, and why Lee is now a lot slower.

Lee flashes back to his childhood as a number of kids tell him he’ll never be a ninja because he can’t use ninjutsu or genjutsu. Lee always ran away. But Gai watched with pride as Lee, who started with below average taijutsu, practiced relentlessly in his desire to master taijutsu. When Gai took on his three Genin team, he asked what each of their goals were. TenTen replied that she wanted to be a very strong ninja like the legendary Kunoichi (female ninja), Tsunade-sama. Lee wanted to prove that a person can be a respectful ninja even without the ability to use ninjutsu or genjutsu.

Neji remembers repeatedly fighting with Lee. Each time, Neji beats him. TenTen reaffirms that Lee can’t beat him, but Lee refuses to accept defeat.

Back in the match, Gaara attacks yet again with a delusional look on his face. Gai watches as Lee is hit again, and reminisces how Lee tried so hard to surpass his own goals. One day Lee became frustrated that he still couldn’t beat Neji, so Gai gave him a pep talk about believing in himself and his own abilities. The two share a bonding moment as Gai reveals that he once was a loser, but he now surpasses Kakashi because of all his hard work. If Lee believes in himself, he will eventually achieve his goals.

Lee prepares to perform his last move as Gai smiles and watches from above. The lotus of Konoha blossoms twice. Kakashi realizes Gai is permitting Lee to open the 8 celestial inner body gates (Hachimon-Tonkou) and do a Ura Renge (Reverse Lotus). Gai replies that he can open five gates. Hachimon-Tonkou is to remove limits as preparation for Ura Renge. Kakashi watches with his sharingan. On the chakra highway from the head to other parts of the body there are 8 gates: Kai-mon (Initial Gate), Kyu-Mon (Heal Gate), Sei-Mon (Life Gate), Sho-Mon (Harm Gate), To-Mon (Limit Gate), Kei-Mon (View Gate), Kyo-Mon (Wonder Gate), Shi-Mon (Death Gate). These 8 spots are where chakra holes are concentrated. The 8 gates always limit the amount of chakra flowing through the body. to do the Renge, he would break through those gates gaining the power a thousand times stronger than normal. The Omote Renge is a technique that opens only the first gate, Kai-Mon. it removes the limit his brain has on how far he can push his muscles. The 2nd gate, Kyu-Mon, will increase his body’s energy unnaturally, the 3rd gate, Sei-Mon… they come at a price, however. One can briefly gain the power that is above the hokage by opening all 8 gates, but anyone who does will definitely die.

Kakashi then warns Gai that he’s lost all respect for him by allowing lee to perform this. Gai retorts that Kakashi doesn’t understand Lee. He has an important goal that he wants to achieve, even if it means risking his own life. He wanted to make Lee a guy that could achieve his goals. That’s why he taught him this technique. It will be his most special technique. There is a very strict rule to use it…

Lee prepares to open the gate. He won’t be the one to lose this time. He powers up and opens the 3rd gate to unleash a mega power stream.
