Previously on Naruto, we saw our young ninja encounter some very suspicious individuals on his journey to find and exterminate the ghost Noroimusha. In Episode 7.160, “Hunt or Be Hunted?! Showdown at the O.K. Temple,” Naruto met another bounty hunter who is in search of Gosunkugi. Naruto also found out that Sazanami was not being true to who he was. In fact, he was a framed up criminal named Tokichi, who was wanted for a crime involving a family of three. Naruto eventually finds out that he's innocent, and that he was on his journey to find the real killer to clear his name. Sazanami finally joined the Konoha group in their efforts to stop Gosunkugi. However, their plans were challenged as another bounty hunter stepped in the way.
In the second installment of the back-to-back Saturday night episodes of Naruto, we also saw some strange visitors enter the village. How do these suspicious persons fit into the plot of our next episodes? Read on to find out.
