Parting

Sasuke leaves the village alongside the Sound Four to go to Orochimaru. Shikamaru Nara then enlists a team composed of Naruto, Choji Akimichi, Kiba Inuzuka and Neji Hyuga to retrieve Sasuke. Only Naruto is able to reach Sasuke as the other members stay in the way to fight the opposing Sound Four. Sasuke attempts to kill Naruto and both fight with the former using the new powers received from Orochimaru's Cursed Seal. In the end, Sasuke defeats Naruto and leaves Konoha, but Naruto does not give up on stopping him.
