Sasori

Sasuke and Suigetsu go on an Orochimaru's test subject butt kicking spree. At Sasuke's request, none of the test subjects are killed. Then the search for Jugo commences with Karin at the lead searching for signs of his chakra. She takes the opportunity to trick Suigetsu into walking down the wrong path while she steals some private time along with Sasuke.

Though nothing particularly interesting happens during this private time, Karin leads Sasuke to where Jugo is kept. Jugo leaves his prison with a ferocity of bloodlust, planning to kill Sasuke. Sasuke has another plan in mind. Instead of fighting, he'd rather be diplomatic and talk to Jugo about joining his group. Jugo, however, is reluctant to leave the hideout. The episode tapers off mid-fight between Sasuke and Jugo. The next episode will surely cover the reason that Jugo does not want to leave the North hideout.
