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 by throwing some shuriken, but Temari mysteriously dodges it. Guy and Lee discuss Tenten's perfect aim. Tenten tries another attack, summoning weapons from a scroll, and Temari repels using wind from her Giant Folding Fan, warning Tenten that if she sees all three moons (stars in the japanese anime) 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, Temari repels the attack then disappears within the fan and comes from behind, using her Sickle Weasel Technique to defeat Tenten. After being declared winner, Temari throws Tenten, trying to make her land on the weapons lying on the floor, but an infuriated Lee catches her and tries to attack Temari. Gai stops him, and warns the Sand Ninja about Lee's power.

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 trying to do and warns her that it won't work, but she surprises him by using strings to move the bells from the senbon she threw earlier, distracting him and throwing two senbon at a vital point on his shoulder. Shikamaru starts the Shadow Imitation Technique again, but he starts to feel dizzy and Kin explains that the bells produce a special sound that produces paralysis and hallucinations. Shikamaru is paralysed, and sees numerous Kins. Kin throws three senbon at Shikamaru and hits him in the other shoulder.

Kin tries to attack again but she is paralysed, and Shikamaru explains to her that he sent the Shadow Imitation Technique through the shadow of the strings. He then throws a shuriken at Kin which she imitates. Shikamaru ducks backwards, and the Shadow Imitation Technique forces Kin to imitate him, hitting her head against the wall and fainting. 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.
