When Naruto saves three guys, he is dragged into yet another mission. However, unlike the last two, this is one he does not wish to partake in. However, when Gai reveals information that the leader of the Kurosuki Family, Raiga, is connected with the Seven Swordsmen of the Mist, Naruto decides to change his minds. Zabuza and Kisame were each a member, and since Raiga is connected to Kisame, who is connected to Itachi, who is being pursued by Sasuke, Naruto may have a chance to learn more information. With Neji, Lee, and Tenten as his allies, the group goes on their new mission, but what awaits them?
The episode begins at what appears to be a rainy funeral service. Men dressed in black are carrying a coffin to its burial site. Among the men is one who is lamenting at the loss of the supposed 'dead' man, talking good things of his father and such. As he rambles on and on, the coffin shakes and the man is apparently not dead. Nonetheless, he is buried alive.
High above, three men watch the funeral service and take this as an opportunity to escape the village. One is still grieving over their buried friend, named Kanpanchi, but there is no time to worry about that.
The funeral service ends, and a small, timid voice points out that three people have left the village, meaning that there'll probably be another funeral soon.
As the storm rages, a large rock crumbles and the three soon find themselves plunging into the water...
...and the very next morning, are currently being hauled on the back of Uzumaki Naruto, who struggles to get them some help. He passes by Rock Lee, who is training yet again with weights to get stronger.
At the Hokage's office, Anko reports to Tsunade that her mission to escort Swamp Country feudal lord Chichiatsu-sama was a success...and then eats the last of Tsunade's dango.
Gai is next, scrambling in and yelling about his completed mission, and as he is about to be given his S-rank mission, Tsunade tells Shizune to bring her Neji, Tenten, and Lee for another mission. Gai is ecstatic, believing that his group should handle this no problem, but Naruto is coming along as well. Gai literally SCREAMS in Tsunade's face, demanding an explanation for that, but she simply answers..."Just because."
She speaks of the three men Naruto found and how they have a mission request from Katabame Kinzan, the village they came from but went downhill when the Kurosuke Family arrived six months ago, killing random people for no reason. The team's mission is to escort the three back when they've recovered and get rid of this Kurosuke family.
Of course, Naruto objects to such an easy mission (which tempts Tsunade's patience), as he is STILL trying to train harder and get a mission that'll lead him to Sasuke. Tsunade yanks Naruto across her desk and reminds him that he's still some genin who butts into mission he wasn't called for and doesn't get to PICK his own missions.
