The end of the battle between Shinji and Yakumo didn't mean the end of the combat test. Quite a few teams were still fighting in the Forest of Death.
And near the edge of the area where Shinji and the others had first clashed with Yakumo, another battle had become the center of everyone's attention.
The main combatants in this fierce battle were none other than the Jinchuriki from Konoha and Sunagakure.
On the battlefield!

Rock Lee said, "The person fighting Naruto gives me a very dangerous feeling. I'm worried Naruto won't be able to hold out."
