The Time of Reunion…!! (volume)

Synopsis
Yamato, Naruto, and Sakura find Sai and restrain him for his treachery. As they prepare to go looking for Sasuke, Sai questions Naruto's reasons for wanting to have Sasuke back, to which Naruto responds that the two had formed a bond that he won't allow to be broken. Intrigued by this concept of bonds, Sai rejoins them, even helping in capturing Kabuto. The group splits up, and Sai is the first to find Sasuke. Although he attempts to capture Sasuke on Naruto's behalf, Sasuke proves too strong. Naruto, Sakura, and Yamato soon arrive to help, though their combined efforts are still no match for Sasuke's increase in strength. As Sasuke prepares to kill them all, Orochimaru and a freed Kabuto arrive to stop him, and they disappear to leave the retrieval team defeated.
