Synopsis
Kakashi's team splits after a trap; Sakura is kidnapped, forcing Naruto and Sasuke into a perilous rescue mission.
The operation to find a missing person goes awry when Kakashi Hatake falls victim to a suspicious trap and gets separated from his students Naruto Uzumaki, Sasuke Uchiha, and Sakura Haruno.
