Ep 120: Roar! Howl! The Ultimate Tag

Kiba is thrown into the river. He thinks his attack hit, but Sakon was not affected, and where did Sakon's attack come from? Kiba tells Akamaru to attack from both sides using gatsuuga. Akamaru transforms into Kiba and they attack.

Meanwhile Kabuto and Orochimaru discuss why the Sound 4 are late with Sasuke. Kabuto says either Konoha sent strong men or they played around too much. Orochimaru says that it’s either Jiroubou who’s always hungry or Kidoumaru who likes to play too much. Kabuto says that the most troublesome is Sakon who is not satisfied until the enemy is dead, but Tayuya also has the won’t lose mentality.

Kimimaro takes a look at the hundreds of Naruto clones and calmly exposes two long sharp protrusions from his arms to get rid of the trash. Naruto attacks.

Tayuya plays her flute and the three blind oni (demon) summons attack Shikmaru. Tayuya’s cursed seal activates.

Kiba-Akamaru is punched back and reverts to Akamaru. Kiba is also sent flying by a Taren-ken punch. Sakon tries to punch Kiba again but he ducks and Sakon smashes the rocks. He activates his cursed seal and tells Kiba that the other is his older brother Ukon who usually sleeps inside him but comes out during battles. A fist appears from Sakon’s forehead and punches Kiba while Akamaru runs toward them to help. Sakon uses taren kyaku (match kick) and Kiba is knocked back into Akamaru. Ukon and Sakon activate the level 2 cursed seal.

Akamaru wants Kiba to do a certain attack but Kiba says it’s too dangerous since it uses up all their chakra and if they miss they’re dead. Akamaru bites Kiba on the hand. Kiba decide to use Garouga (double wolf fang) but before he can do anything, Sakon-Ukon punch him in the stomach and he coughs up blood. Kiba grabs onto their arms and Akamaru jumps over them and uses dynamic marking! (pee). Akamaru jumps on top of Kiba who does the seal for Inuzuka Ryuu Chinjuu Combi Henge (Inuzuka Style Beast Combination Transformation) and a huge two headed dog appears! Then it spins and attacks (garouga), cutting Ukon-Sakon in half vertically. But each missing half regenerates to a metallic arm and leg. Kiba-Akamaru attack again. Ukon and Sakon avoid it but Kiba says they don’t need to see them they’ve been marked and are attacking by using their scent. Ukon and Sakon bite their nonmetallic hands and summon Rashoumon (gate in old Kyoto) Kiba-Akamaru crash into the gate leaving a big dent. Ukon-Sakon try to attack as Kiba-Akamaru fall but Sakon gets sprayed in the eyes with pee. Kiba-Akamaru revert back to their original forms. Akamaru is knocked out by Ukon. Sakon eyes are hurting and he says it’s not normal piss, it’s like acid. Kiba looks around for Ukon but doesn’t see him anywhere. Suddenly Ukon appears from Kiba’s right shoulder! Ukon tells Sakon to wash his eyes in the water while he takes care of Kiba. Ukon’s special ability is to disassemble and reconstruct cells with his chakra. He can break his body into pieces and get inside an enemy’s body. Kiba has a long flashback to his escapades with Akamaru. Ukon says they’re fused together and in the same body. He will tear away at Kiba from the cells in his body. Kiba takes a kunai and stabs himself in the lower right intending to commit suicide thus taking Ukon with him.

Review: The cutting away to three separate fights was a bit distracting and unnecessary. Flashback was way too long. But the two headed dog and Rashomon were cool!

Kiba did not do seal for Akamaru to transform. Akamaru apparently transformed to Kiba on his own.

Garouga’s rotational speed is so fast Kiba-Akamaru lose their field of vision. It's a superspin so even if the target is not hit directly, it still cuts the enemy and if it hits directly, the enemy is cut to pieces.

Ukon level 2 cursed seal - horn is on the left side of head, hair covers the right side.

Inuzuka Ryuu Chinjuu Combi Henge (Inuzuka Style Beast Combination Transformation)

Rashomon (1950, black and white) was a great movie directed by Akira Kurosawa about different views of the same event where a bandit supposedly murders a man and rapes his wife.
