Vol.37 Chapter 331 – Team 10 Sets Out…!!

Tsunade stops [[Team 10|Team 10}} from leaving, saying that despite their desire to avenge Asuma, they are of little use for a rematch with Akatsuki. Then Kakashi appears and volunteers to help, saying that he can no longer provide any additional assistance in Naruto’s training, so Tsunade lets them go. While the Akatsuki finishes sealing Three-Tails, Shikamaru initiates Kakashi into his plan, given his involvement. Tsunade also considers sending reinforcements in the form of [[Team 7|Team 7}} for Kakashi and the others, but will only send them if Naruto can complete his technique within twenty-four hours.
