Two Heartbeats: Kabuto's Trap

In the room Naruto's in, he encounters Gamakichi, who seems to be of no use in his struggle, the room soon floods with water. Sakura attempts to battle Kabuto, telling him that she believes Naruto and herself will save Sasuke together. She soon loses focus when Kabuto begins harassing her with thoughts of Sasuke's inevitable death. He states that " Sasuke is already dead, and you two can meet with him in the afterlife." She begins sobbing and remains still as Kabuto is about to murder her. Naruto arrives in the nick of time to save Sakura, but she is stull petrified in tears. Naruto tells her not to believe him, takes her away and a battle ensues. Naruto battles Kabuto viciously using Shadow-Clones, but Kabuto defeats them with a fire technique. Eventually, Naruto corners and defeats him with the Rasengan, injuring him badly. Although appeared defeated, Kabuto traps him in some chakra threads immune to normal blades that connect their hearts; if Kabuto's heart stops, so will Naruto's. He states that he is willing to sacrifice himself to please Orochimaru. As Kabuto attempts to kill himself to end Naruto's life, Sakura tries to free him with a blade. Sasame arrives and gives Sakura help with a special kunai to save Naruto, only to find out that the Kabuto they fought is actually Kagerou, who dies suggesting that Sasame should not know what Arashi has become. Although free, it appears to have been too late as Naruto's heart stops beating and lays still on the ground. Sakura mourns, only to find a red-faced Naruto who's heart seems to be beating even faster. He cheerfully says" Nothing heals a heart better than the touch of a pretty girl", angering Sakura and amusing Sesame. They finally find Arashi, who has been disguised as Orochimaru, who reveals that he has indeed changed.
