The Weight of the Prized Artefact!

is episode 208 of the original Naruto anime.

Synopsis
Naruto and Kiba are ordered to escort a man who is transporting a rare and valuable artifact to Habotangai. He makes the mission almost insufferable with his pompous, overbearing attitude and his willingness to put the two in danger just to protect his own interests. Bandits steal the artifact, and when Naruto saves Shin'emon after he puts his life at risk to try to save the Kacho Fugetsu, he teaches him that people are more valuable than possessions. It is also revealed that Shin'emon is the creator of the Kacho Fugetsu and can easily make another.
