Before the mission, Kakashi was speaking with the Hokage about the dangers of sending Team 7 to recover Kuri.
"I don't think it's such a good idea, sending Sasuke on this mission." Kakashi said.
"On the contrary." Hokage said. "I think he is the perfect ninja to go. She is his sister after all; who else will work so hard to get her back?"
"What about Naruto?" Kakashi said. "He seems to really care about the girl, what if it affects his judgement?"
"I think he will remain focused." Hokage said. "Don't underestimate Naruto Uzumaki."

Kakashi was jumping from tree to tree with his hyperspeed towards Gato's mansion with Team 7 behind noticing.
Later Gato summoned several of his business associates, the Black Black Club.
"I've got a great gamble for you all today," Gato began. "There are some outsiders trying to get into my mansion. I have many special defenses in place. Let's make the starting bets: twelve defenders against the outsiders!"
"500 grand on the defenders," said each of the associates.
"One million on the outsiders," said Kabuto.
Gato was shocked, and he was even more shocked when their camera showed Naruto and Sasuke beating up his twelve defenders. Reiko tried to look ahead and examine the location as Naruto and Sasuke beat up more defenders.
"A-Alright," Gato said. "Second bet-three of my most powerful men - Miyuki, Gokumonki and Inmaki, against the outsiders."
"500 grand on the Ogre Triad," said each of them—except Kabuto.
"Three million on the intruders," Kabuto said.
Gato was irate. So he thought of a trick - and suddenly the whole forest blows off. Seems like Gato has initiated the self-destruct button and destroyed the forest that surrounds the mansion - and looks like he has gotten rid of the outsiders for good. But look who's here - the three outsiders are perfectly safe and they finally reach the mansion. They entered it and face their first challenge, One of Gato's henchmen - Miyuki.

"I am Miyuki and you go no further," she said to them.
"Another girl!" Reiko said. "Wait…"
"My thoughts exactly," Naruto said. "Miyuki let's fight."
Miyuki attacked, and so did Naruto. Miyuki used a rope and strangled Naruto off, but Yusuke used this for his own advantage and he bounced up and nailed Miyuki with a punch right on her chest. Miyuki continued to attack, but Yusuke fired back with a powerful roundhouse kick right into her chest again and sent her smashing to the wall. Naruto groped Miyuki's chest and groin.
"'She' was a 'he' ttebayo,'" Naruto said.
"How dare you!" Miyuki shouted. "I'm a real woman on the inside!"
"It doesn't really matter! I just wanted to see what I was dealing with!" Naruto yelled.
Reiko hit him in the head for being such a jackass.
They continued on as Kakashi fought off the other ninja between them.

"Let's make a wager on who will win," Gato said. "The winner can keep the koorime."
"I agree." Zabuza said.
