Duncan woke up. He thought to himself, "I hate economy class, especially when
Heather's here." He left economy class. Suddenly, Duncan heard something. The noise
came from the control room. Duncan thought to himself, "If Chris is making a challenge,
he should keep the noise level down." Duncan entered the control room. He shouted,
"Chris, stop ruining my sleep! I'll hurt you, Mclean!" Sasuke replied, "Who is Chris? My
name is Sasuke Uchiha. I seek power and revenge." Duncan replied, "I'm Duncan. I'm
going to make my fist meet your face. What are those noises that I heard?" Sasuke told
him, "I didn't hear anything. Stop accusing me, or else you'll be sorry." Duncan said,
"I'm not scared of you. Just try and defeat me!" Sasuke shouted, "Chidori!" He made a
ball of lightning, and he ran towards Duncan. Sasuke struck Duncan with lightning!
Sakura woke up. She shouted, "Oh, no! I hope he didn't kill Duncan!" Cody fell out of
his chair. He asked, "Who killed Duncan?" Sakura replied, "I'll explain later. We have to
go to the control room!" They ran quickly. Sasuke stood over Duncan. He said, "I won't
kill you, but pass this message to Sakura. If she's still on this boat, she better fight me.
I'll get my revenge on her." Duncan tripped him. He yelled, "You want revenge? You're
just like Harold and Courtney! You want to get what you want? I'll give you what you
deserve! Sakura told me about your fire techniques, and you're about to get a taste of
your own medicine." First, Duncan repeatedly punched him in the face. Then, he pulled
out his lighter. Duncan told him, "This is how I ended up in juvie." He burned Sasuke's
body, and he threw it into the ocean. Sakura and Cody came in. Sakura asked, "What
happened?" Duncan explained, "This geek named Sasuke tried to kill me, but I got rid of
him. He shouldn't have made me mad." Cody added, "Duncan's right. If someone makes
him mad, then they'll get hurt. Anyway, let's change the map route. Where should we be
headed?" Sakura suggested, "Let's go to Berry Forest. It seems like a peaceful place."
Duncan turned on the computer. He typed in the location, and the boat headed east
towards Berry Forest. Cody said, "We should go back to first class, Sakura." Duncan
asked, "Can I join you guys? Heather's getting on my nerves. Also, we were part of a
team." Sakura commented, "You're right, Duncan. You can join us." The trio headed to
first class. Five hours later, the sun was shining. Everyone went to the mess hall for
breakfast. Sakura and Cody sat with Gwen and Duncan. Gwen asked, "What happened to
you, Duncan? I heard noises at 2 a.m. in the morning." Sakura explained, "Duncan
defeated one of my enemies' shadow clones." Duncan wondered, "That was a shadow
clone?" Sakura said, "Did you notice that Sasuke turned into a puddle of water? That
means he made a water clone. You know what I realized? Sasuke wasn't afraid to fight
me, because I was alone. When you guys came running to the top deck, he immediately
decided to vanish." Cody exclaimed, "There's strength in numbers! We need to vote out
Heather, too." Gwen added, "She's an evil witch." Chris announced, "Attention,
passengers! In 10 minutes, we'll be arriving at Berry Forest. This week, the challenge is
simple. We brought in a Poffin-making machine." Noah asked, "What do you need that
for?" Chris explained, "When we reach the forest, I'll tell you." The ship arrived at Berry
Forest. Chris said, "Welcome to Berry Forest. Your challenge is to find the berry that will
make tasty poffins for the best host ever! The person who makes me happy wins
invincibility!" Everyone searched the forest. Sakura found some Cheri Berries. She said,
"Chris might like these, but I might need a mixture of berries." Sakura headed towards
the eastern part of the forest. Meanwhile, Cody found some Oran Berries. He yelled,
"These taste great! They're blue, too." Sakura came near him. She asked, "Can I have
some of those, Cody?" He replied, "Of course you can, Sakura. After all, you're the best
girlfriend." He handed some Oran berries to her. Sakura put them in her bag of weapons.
Sakura kissed him on the cheek, and she left. Rock Lee asked Chris, "What do you need,
sir?" Chris told him, "Check on the contestants. Ezekiel's probably stuck in a tree." Lee
went to see how the contestants were doing. Meanwhile, Heather found some Rawst
Berries. She said, "After I win this challenge, Sakura will be leaving. I'll mess with the
votes, and she'll be gone. Sakura and Cody are major threats. If I turn them against each
other, then they'll both lose!" Lee exclaimed, "Stop right there, Heather! You shall do no
such thing! I understand that you are at a disadvantage, but I will not allow you to
manipulate and use underhanded tactics!" Heather replied, "Oh, be quiet. You're just
dumb." While they were having this conversation, Sakura took some Rawst Berries that
Heather had collected. She went into another part of the forest. Ezekiel found some Pinap
Berries. He said, "Chris might like these, eh." Sakura fell out of a tree! Ezekiel asked,
"Are you okay?" She told him, "I'm fine, Ezekiel. I need some Pinap Berries." He
responded, "You can have one of mine. I've already collected the five different kinds to
make a good poffin, eh." This caught Sakura's attention. She asked, "What's the last
berry?" He explained, "It's called a Pecha Berry. If you're poisoned, it can save your life.
The Pecha Berries are behind that bush that you're next to, eh." Sakura looked over the
huge bush, and she noticed the Pecha Berries. They were on trees. Sakura thought to
herself, "I can't jump that high, but I can make those berries come down to the ground."
She pulled out an Earth Scroll. Sakura shouted, "Earth Style: Earthquake Jutsu!" A
massive earthquake happened, and the trees fell down. Sakura picked up the Pecha
Berries. She went back to the ship. Heather told her, "You better hope that you win
invincibility, Sakura. It's the only thing that will save you from getting kicked off."
Sakura yelled, "HEATHER, YOU'RE SO ANNOYING! TAKE THIS!" Sakura punched
her, and she was sent flying! Heather landed on the ground. She shouted, "I'm not dead,
Sakura! You're so stupid." Then, a tree fell on Heather. Gwen hugged Sakura. She told
her, "Karma really likes you, Sakura. You're awesome." They headed back to the ship.
Everyone turned their berries into poffins. Chris said, "Here are the results. We have
three winners. Congratulations to Sakura, Gwen, and Duncan! Your mild poffins were
awesome! You guys have invincibility. Everyone else is up for elimination."
Sakura went to the confessional. However, the door was locked. Sakura kicked down the
door. She discovered that Heather was messing with the votes. Heather told her, "Your
boyfriend is about to leave, Sakura." Heather wrote Cody's name on seven pieces of
paper. She explained, "When he gets voted off, he'll see that you betrayed him. That
won't be good for your relationship, but it will satisfy me." Sakura yelled, "I won't let
you do that, Heather!" She replied, "I won't do it, but there's one condition. You have to
form an alliance with me." Sakura said, "I'll do whatever you want, Heather." The mean
girl walked out of the confessional. Sakura thought to herself, "Naruto wouldn't give up,
and I won't either!" She tore up the paper, and found eight new pieces of paper.
At elimination, Heather had a devious smile on her face. Chris announced, "I have six
marshmallows on this plate. Also, I have the votes. Noah, you received 7 votes. You're
going on the Boat of Losers." He exclaimed, "I can't believe you guys! You voted me
off?" Heather protested, "What? I messed with the votes! I wanted Cody to be
eliminated!" Heather immediately covered her mouth, because she realized what she had
just admitted. Chris told her, "Heather, you're disqualified. That's really messed up,
dude. You should've formed an alliance. That would've boosted my ratings! Anyway,
you're going on the Boat of Losers." Heather and Noah went on the Boat of Losers.
Gwen commented, "That was totally unexpected." Sakura told her, "Let's just say that I
wanted Heather to cause her own downfall." Gwen exclaimed, "Sakura, you are a really
good friend! Everyone's invited to first class!" Cody said, "Thank you, Sakura. I don't
know how to thank you." They looked into each other's eyes, and they shared a
passionate kiss. Sakura and Cody headed to first class. Chris yelled, "I didn't get my
paycheck! Where is it?" Lee said, "Hello, sir. This strange blue paper had numbers
written on it. It had a 9 and seven zeros following it. Anyway, I tore it up." Chris
screamed, "Lee, you're fired!" He threw him into the water. However, Lee jumped into
the air. He landed on the ship. He shouted, "I hope you are seeing my levels of determination and willpower, Guy-sensei!"
