The episode starts as Sakura watches over Tazuna as he continues building the bridge while Sasuke and Naruto continues their training in the forest and it reveals that Naruto is slowly catching up on Sasuke. One of the workers decides to quit telling Tazuna that he too might be targeted by Gatou. After work, Tazuna along with Sakura goes to the town to buy some supplies and Sakura sees how poor the country actually is. Tazuna then sells Sakura that it happens when Gatou arrives in the country of the Wave, the adults lost hope and that's the whole reason to the importance of the bridge. Back in the forest, Naruto and Sasuke continues to train and Sasuke asked Naruto about the tip he asked from Sakura earlier. Naruto refused telling Sasuke in a cheeky way. Later back and Tazuna's house, Sasuke and Naruto can still be seen competing, even on eating. Sakura notices a picture with the face of a man ripped from it and hence asked Tazuna about it. Tazuna told them it was Inari's father. Inari hearing that got upset and left the dining room. Tazuna then further explains that though the man was not connected by blood, he was close and Inari considers him as his real father. This man was called Kaiza. Kaiza became the "hero" of the country as many times he proves to put his life in danger to save the country. Kaiza opposed Gatou and his crude way. He was finally executed by Gatou. Inari who saw the execution with his own eyes became so saddened that he lost faith and the teachings of Kaiza believing that his father was a liar and heroes does not exist. Naruto after hearing the story wants to prove that heroes do exist.
