Vol.22 Chapter 191 – Comrades…!!

Jirobo dies, and Chouji begins to walk in the same direction as the rest of the Sasuke Return Team. Seeing that they have marked their way for him, he falls down, glad that he has friends who believe in him. Meanwhile, the rest of the team notices that the Sound Four have not set traps for them, which means that they expected Jirobo to win. Taking advantage of this, Shikamaru transforms into Jirobo and joins the other three Otogakure ninja. However, because he does not reprimand Taiya for her insults as Jirobo would, his identity is revealed and most of the team falls into Kidomaru’s web. Neji takes advantage of this concern and attacks him from behind.
