Naruto is unable to search for Sasuke due to Tsunade's orders, while Kiba and Hinata wonder how they can help him out. Shino remembers a special type of bug that, if found, could easily track Sasuke down. They go and discuss it with Tsunade, who agrees to let them search for it, making Shino the leader. Tsunade discovers Naruto eavesdropping the conversation and lets him go with them, but can they complete a mission with only a 10% success rate? Also, they're not alone! A mysterious group is also after the same thing.
The episode starts off with Hinata, Kiba, and Shino at the hospital on their way to visit Kurenai. They run into Tsunade and Shizune (Tsunade doesn't want to work).
Then Kiba and Shino start teasing Hinata on the fact that she fainted the last time she went to visit Naruto. Hinata opens the door to Kurenai's room to find herself face to face with Naruto who is hanging from the ceiling. Hinata turns bright red being so close to Naruto and nervously head buts him sending him flying across the room.
Then Hinata faints, and finds her waking up in a hospital bed an hour later. Kurenai is talking with Shizune regarding the Mizuki affair. He doesn't know anything about Sasuke, or Orochimaru's whereabouts. Everyone then notices Naruto outside arguing w/ Granny Tsunade concerning Sasuke's rescue mission. Tsunade still won't budge since they have no clue as to where he is.
Cut to Neji training with Hinata's dad with Kiba and Shino waiting outside. Hinata leaves Kiba and Shino to go train. Meanwhile Neji is told by Hinata's father that protecting Hinata would be a good training method. Cut to Hinata breathing heavy in the forest with waves of Shrunken coming at her from the right and left.
She activates her Byakugan and in a sec there are about 100 broken shrunken on the ground. Break time! Kiba and Shino complement Hinata's diligence. They both think she's almost mastered "IT". They all then talk about teamwork which leads to how shitty Naruto must be feeling right now. They want to help Naruto but they don't have any clues.
Correction, only one: the legendary Bikouchuu. In Tsunade's office Shino explains that if they find the Bikouchuu, then Sasuke can be found. Tsunade explains that the Bikouchuu is rare bug with a powerful sense of smell. They only lay one egg every several years in only a very specific area.
When the egg hatches, the Bikouchuu will go after it to find the source. There's only a 10% chance at finding a Bikouchuu but you all know how Tsunade loves to gamble! Tsunade assigns them to their mission, but not before throwing a shrunken at the ceiling, revealing Naruto who was listening to the entire conversation.
