S02E44 The Secret of the Battle!
Episode Overview
Yamato channels the First Hokage's chakra to contain the Nine-Tails' power, allowing Naruto to regain consciousness, albeit in a badly injured state. Sakura rushes to treat him but realizes that her healing techniques aren't making much of a difference. Meanwhile, it's revealed that Orochimaru's sword only struck one of Sai's clones. The real Sai surfaces, converses with Orochimaru, and hands him a letter from Danzo before departing with Orochimaru and Kabuto. Yamato's wood clone discreetly follows them. As Naruto comes to, he questions what transpired, but Sakura chooses to keep the truth from him. They arrive at their designated meeting point, retrieving the picture book that Sai left behind. Yamato deduces that Danzo aims to obliterate and recreate Konoha by teaming up with Orochimaru.
