I have relatively little investment in Naruto's battle with bone-guy except for getting Sasuke back, but on the other hand... eeeewww.

On the other hand, Shikamaru's battle, like practically all of his battles, are pretty damn awesome. I'm a sucker for a relatively underpowered guy outsmarting insanely powerful foes. It was also my same reason for liking Lee, too, but Shikamaru takes it much farther.

Naruto managesto catch with kimmimaru when Lee comes and tells Naruto to go catch up with Sasake. Meanwhile, Kiba uses the last of his chakra to use double headed wolf and hits Sakon with Getsuga.

It is really cool and good. I really loved it.
