They seek [[Gaara]]'s powers to revive their village's ultimate weapon. Gaara, [[Kankurō]] and [[Temari]] pursue them with no other help from the Sand Village. Meanwhile, [[Shikamaru]] assembles the [[Konoha 11]] (minus [[Tenten]]), and splits up into two-man teams - Shikamaru and [[Ino]], [[Naruto]] and [[Lee]], and [[Kiba]] and [[Chōji]]. Each two-man cell will assist one of Sand shinobi. [[Neji]] and [[Hinata]] will avoid combat and scout ahead, while [[Sakura]] and [[Shino]] act as medical support and command and control (using Shino's bugs to pass along information).
