Previously on Naruto, Naruto arrived in the nick of time to save Sakura.  The group also managed to locate Arashi, but he's not the same Arashi that Sasame once knew.  The action continues this week with the episodes "The Three Villians from the Maximum Security Prison" and "Ton Ton! I'm Counting on You!"

Read on for a preview of the two Naruto episodes.

With the events of the Rice Field Country behind them, everyone prepares for their training, but a new threat soon arises in "The Three Villians from the Maximum Security Prison."  Mizuki is back and plans to out of Konoha's Correctional Facility along with the help of two fat brothers.  Mizuki has an encounter with Shizune and her team, and all of them are defeated.  This time, however, Orochimaru may be pulling the strings.

The action continues in "Ton Ton! I'm Counting on You!" in which Ton Ton comes back to warn Tsunade.  With Ton Ton's help, Naruto takes the initiative to find Shizune.

The episode kicks off with Naruto finding Auma and Kurenai on the floor.  The medical team shows up and heals Asuma and Kurenai and the other ninja.  Ton Ton leads Shizune and the other ninja to Fuujin and Raijin.  Naruto shows up and talks to Tsunade about something she said earlier connected to Sasuke and Orochimaru.  Naruto runs off in hopes of rescuing Sasuke but Tsunade tells Naruto that he can't do it alone.  Later, Ton Ton tells Tsunade that Shizune is in trouble, which prompts Naruto to run off with Ton-ton.  They meet Pakkun, who follows a scent and falls into a trap.

Fans can catch back-to-back premieres of "The Three Villians from the Maximum Security Prison" and "Ton Ton! I'm Counting on You!" on Saturday, February 23 at 9pm on Cartoon Network.
