Seeing Shizune call Naruto and Sakura over, Tsunade smiled slightly. "Everyone's here, so I'll explain the important reason for gathering you all this time."
Tsunade took out the letter Kakashi had sent. "According to Kakashi's report, while investigating one of Orochimaru's bases, they discovered that he had been secretly plotting something. Kakashi and Team 8 followed the clues and finally uncovered Orochimaru's scheme."

"Yeah!" Naruto replied.
Everyone set out overnight, racing toward their destination.
Along the way, Shizune explained the main objective of the mission.
Shizune, Hinata, Sakura, and Ino would form the Four-Sided Sealing Formation to seal the Three-Tails. The others would provide support. They might clash with Orochimaru, so a fairly large force had been dispatched.

"So does that mean we'll have to fight Isobu too?" Naruto asked.
"Without a Jinchuriki, that guy must be running wild. If we don't beat him up first, he won't listen to us properly." The Nine-Tails curled his lips into a slight smile.
"I know what to do!" Naruto grinned happily. With the Nine-Tails' help, once he had a tug-of-war with Isobu and obtained the Three-Tails' chakra, he would have gathered the chakra of all nine tailed
