Episode Summaries

At a meeting that the Hyūga clan holds, Neji is appointed as the commander of the clan on the frontlines of the impending war, which shocked some of the members. Hinata later recalls training with Neji. She later meets with Kurenai where she is told by Shikamaru that he and quite a few of the other members of the Konoha 11 had seen Naruto since he left the village and that Tsunade was looking for her. Hopeful that Tsunade had in fact requested her to go on a mission so she could see Naruto, she goes in search of her only to be disappointed. She along with the other females of the Konoha 11 and Shiho are later invited by Tenten to a girls night out at Yakiniku Q. Somewhat saddened that he wasn't invited, Chōji comes up with his guys night out at the same place. The two groups talk about Naruto and the past, reminiscing about the first Chūnin Exams. The girls are later joined by Shizune and a slightly intoxicated Tsunade. Tsunade attempts to apologise for how she dismissed Hinata earlier, but she tells her it was fine as she knew what she had to do.
