Killer Kunoichi and a Shaky Shikamaru

is episode 43 of the original Naruto anime.

Synopsis
Tenten and Temari are chosen to fight next. Tenten makes the first move and Temari mysteriously dodges it. Guy and Lee discuss Tenten's perfect aim. Tenten tries another attack that Temari repels using wind from her Giant Folding Fan after Temari warns Tenten that if she sees all three moons (stars in the manga) from her fan the fight will be over. Tenten uses her Twin Rising Dragons technique. While uncovering the second moon Temari repels the attack, then Tenten uses strings to reuse the attack. By uncovering the last moon she repels the attack then disappears within the fan and comes from behind and uses her Sickle Weasel Technique and defeats Tenten.

Shikamaru and Kin Tsuchi are then chosen to fight. Shikamaru tries the Shadow Imitation Technique but Kin easily evades and throws two senbon with bells on them which Shikamaru dodge. Shikamaru thinks he knows what Kin is doing when she surprises him by using strings to move the bells from the senbon she threw earlier. She throws two senbon at Shikamaru. Shikamaru starts to feel dizzy and Kin explains that the sounds of the bells produce a special sound that produces paralysis and hallucinations. Shikamaru sees numerous Kins, Kin throws three senbon at Shikamaru and hits him.

Kin tries to attack again but she is paralysed after Shikamaru tells her that she got caught in the Shadow Imitation Technique and explains to her that he sent the jutsu through shadow of the string. He then throws a shuriken at Kin which she imitates when Shikamaru dodges backwards. Kin imitates but she did not realise that she was too close to the wall and hit her head and faints. Shikamaru explains that a wise shinobi does not loose sight of his position on the battle field and tells Kin her problem was that she did not realize she was too close to the wall. Hayate announces that Shikamaru has won the battle. After that, the names appear on the screen and Naruto and Kiba are chosen to fight.
