Previously on Naruto, the gang, thinking that Raiga's already dead, decided to head back only to find Karashi waiting for them.  They found themselves in a trap as the Kurosuki family ambushes them.  Fortunately, Naruto was able to fool them twice with his clones.  With the enemies beaten, the villagers focused their anger on Karashi.

One question remains uncertain: Is Raiga really dead? This week's episode will shed some light on the mystery, starting off with “Raiga's Counterattack” followed by “Run! The Curry of Life!"

“Raiga's Counterattack,” as the title connotes, features Raiga as he makes his comeback into the canvass.  When he notices that Ranmaru is not moving, he starts fearing for his death and prepares to unleash his fury.  With nobody else around, the pressure is on Tenten to bring the raging enemy down.  But can he survive without the help of the others?

Follow the action in the episode “Run! The Curry of Life!" in which Lee is left facing Raiga alone, while Tenten and the others hurry to bring them the Curry of Life.  Raiga has no difficulty defeating Lee as he sends him down the cliff.  He and everyone else is given the Curry of Life while Ranmaru confronts Raiga.

During Ranmaru and Raiga's confrontation, Raiga appears to be happy that they have reunited again.  Suddenly, Ranmaru creates a thick mist to surround them and tells him to walk towards a cliff but not to worry as Ranmaru will be his eyes.

Find out if Ranmaru will send both Raiga and himself to their deaths or if a drunk Lee will ruin Ranmaru's plans on Saturday, April 12 at 9pm on Cartoon Network.

Naruto is based on the a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Masashi Kishimoto. The animated series centers on the titular character as he aspires to become the strongest ninja of all.
