The battle with Seimei concludes with Gaara killing Seimei. Everyone returns to Konoha and resume their training. Ino makes a request to also become Tsunade’s student; Tenten is enraged by the fact that she was left out; and everyone says goodbye to Naruto, who is about to head off for his 2+1/2 years of training with Jiraiya (who returned with information about Akatsuki’s plans).
