(Back in Konoha, Kidoumaru is going to Training Area 44 for the "target practice. In the training area there were dozens of scarecrows, some dressed in Konoha uniforms, some wore uniforms of Orochimaru's army, one was dressed as Kakashi, and another as Orochimaru.)
Kakashi: Now, you have 30 minutes to throw as many kunai knives as you can. You can attack whichever scarecrows you wish, you can attack the same scarecrow as many times as you wish, and you can strike the scarecrows anywhere on their bodies you want to. However, you cannot use jutsus, you cannot attack scarecrows from close-range, and you can only attack them with the weapons provided to you or the weapons that you find on the field. You do not have to attack all of the scarecrows. You may not leave the field for any reason at any time until after time is up, unless an emergency occurs. You may begin…
Kidoumaru: gulp
Kakashi: Now!
(Kidoumaru takes some kunai from one of the barrels takes aim and fires.)
Kankuro: No. What did Baki-sensei say?
Gaara: …
(Flashback)
Baki: Gaara! How dare you kill that Sound Ninja!
Young Gaara: …
Baki: You're just lucky that Kabuto said that Lord Orochimaru was finished with the ninja!!
(End of flashback)
Gaara: "…Orochimaru was finished with the ninja".
Kankuro: I remember that. That was three years ago; a time when Sand was allies with Oto and not Konoha. It was also a time when you were blood-thirsty and cold.
Gaara: That's not the point. Orochimaru had no further use for Dosu, so why resurrect him?
Voice: I know why.
(Back at Training Area 44, Kakashi is amazed that Kidoumaru didn't hit any of the scarecrows representing Konoha ninja or Kakashi himself. However, Kidoumaru struck every scarecrow that was representing ninjas of Orochimaru's, and the one representing Orochimaru was so full of kunai the post it was on broke.)
Kidoumaru (sitting on his shins, leaning on his knees, and panting)So how'd I do…sensei?
Kakashi (shocked and humbled by Kidoumaru's suffix)Not bad.But you still have two more trials to go.
Kidoumaru (getting up from leaning on his knees)I'm ready.
Kakashi: Fine, but first, a fifteen-minute break. Have a snack. Drink some water; you look thirsty.
Kidoumaru (disappointed)Huh?
(Back in the underground hospital, everyone's just kinda sitting around doing nothing, being bored. Deidara had went and got dinner a while ago, and now instant ramen cups were littered everywhere. Tobi and Kinko sat in the corner with Kakuzu, but decided against helping him count money. There then was a knock on the door.)
Kabuto: I wonder who that could be.
Zetsu: Don't!
