Naruto: Shippūden (2007)

S2E34 Formation! New Team Kakashi

Nov 15, 2007 Season 2 Episode 34 Animation, Action & Adventure, Sci-Fi & Fantasy

Naruto, Choji, and Shikamaru try to capture and interrogate Sai, but he retreats after making a disparaging comment about Naruto. Soon after, Ino shows up. The village elders express their concerns that the demon fox could end up in Akatsuki's possession, leading them to question Tsunade's decision to allow Naruto to leave the village without the still-recovering Kakashi. In response, Tsunade vows to safeguard Konoha at all costs if Naruto is taken. However, she reluctantly agrees to Danzo's demands, adding Sai to Team Kakashi and substituting Kakashi with ANBU member Yamato, instructing him to monitor Sai closely. When Naruto and Sakura finally meet their new teammates, Naruto's anger flares at the sight of Sai.
