Naruto's jutsu severely wounds Kakuzu, and Kakashi finishes him off. Shikamaru visits Asuma's grave and meets Kurenai there, and tells her that he has realized that he has to take responsibility, and will protect her child once it is born. He plays Shogi with his father and reveals the lesson that Asuma had recently learned and had taught him- the king that the ninjas of Konoha must protect is not the Hokage, but the next generation. Tsunade sees that Kakuzu's nerves have been severed by Naruto's Spiraling Shuriken, and noticing that it also injures Naruto the same way, tells Kakashi not to let Naruto use it again. Naruto is unaware of how dangerous the technique is, and feels confident he and Sakura are getting closer to Sasuke. Elsewhere, Orochimaru hears of recent developments, and sends Kabuto to meet with a woman named Goren, whose assistance he needs.
