Vol.32 Chapter 286 – Naruto and Sasuke and Sakura

Naruto has trouble making contact with Sai, finding him unpleasant as well as unworthy as a replacement for Sasuke. Sai sees no problem with this, seeing Sasuke as nothing more than a traitor who left for Orochimaru with the unconvincing goal of gaining power. Naruto tries to hit Sai for his insults toward Sasuke, but Sakura stops him. Instead, she punches Sai. Yamato interrupts their fight and forces them to get along. To improve teamwork, they spend the night at a hotel at the hot springs, where Sai finds an opportunity to question Naruto’s masculinity once again.
