As Team Matsuri gives two heaven scrolls to Team Guy and work together, Yuhi, Asuma and Guy notice that Gaara and Fu are trapped in Hoichi's chains. As Fu creates the protective cocoon on her and Gaara with chakra threads to suppress absorption, Lee, Matsuri, Yoro and Kegon failed to damage Hōichi's Dharma Barrier: Celestial Pillars. Neji cuts to open the cocoon with Tenten's chakra sword and uses Gentle Fist: Chakra Point Needle to make the chains go haywire and transforming into a black line marks that ties Hōichi. Not before Neji saves Hōichi, Fu thanks and asks them to be friends.
