[edit] Plot
The Third Hokage prepares to make the ultimate sacrifice to rid his village of Orochimaru. When the First and Second Hokage are killed by the Dead Demon Consuming Seal, the Third Hokage apoligizes to them and we see that, to the Third Hokage's disgust, Kin and Zaku from the Chunin exam were the sacrifices used for the ninjutsu.
Meanwhile, the rest of Konoha's ninjas are busy fighting the Sound & Sand ninjas, but their main trouble is with the three giant snakes that are destroying the village. Jiraiya stops them with his Summoning: Food Cart Destroyer Technique, which summons a giant toad in mid-air, crashing down on top of the snakes. Ibiki Morino tells him that the Third Hokage is fighting Orochimaru.
Iruka and other chunin help to evacuate the women & children, including Konohamaru, Udon & Moegi. Konohamaru expresses his confidence in the safety of their escape route and the power of the Third Hokage.
Naruto and Sakura continue to catch up to Sasuke. At the same time, Sasuke catches up to Kankuro and Gaara. Kankuro tells Temari to take Gaara and run, as he prepares to stall Sasuke. An unlikely ally in the form of Shino saves Sasuke the burden of fighting Kankuro in order to finish their battle from the Chuunin Exam. This allows Sasuke to continue in pursuit of Gaara.
