NO CONTESTBOUT 02 · VS Itachi Uchiha & Kisame Hoshigaki
As Kisame chases Naruto, Jiraiya swallows the area in a toad's stomach to trap both Akatsuki members; Itachi burns a way out with Amaterasu and the pair escape, and Jiraiya seals away the black flames.
FILING NOTE
Files NC: nobody is beaten, and the Akatsuki pair get away unharmed, so the encounter breaks off without a result. The trap is set at the end of CH. 147 and resolves here.
NO CONTESTBOUT 02 · VS Jiraiya
Cornering Naruto in a town inn, Kisame swings Samehada to sever Naruto's legs before Jiraiya intervenes. Trapped in the living esophagus of Mount Myōboku's fire-toad, Kisame escapes with Itachi when Amaterasu burns a hole through the stomach wall.
FILING NOTE
Files NC because the trapped fighters escape through an allied black-flame breach without a finish.
