Chapter 347 splits its attention between a comic beat with Konohamaru and the assembly of Sasuke's new squad. As Team 7 enjoys a lighthearted moment, Sasuke and Suigetsu set out to collect a legendary blade before gathering the rest of their group.
Stepping out of the ramen shop, Team 7 runs into Konohamaru, who shows off a fresh raunchy jutsu to make Naruto laugh. Sakura frowns at the display until Konohamaru unveils a second variant that wins her over. Away from Konoha, Sasuke lays out his plan to Suigetsu: a team built from the two of them plus Karin and Jūgo. Suigetsu is lukewarm on the idea but signs on once Sasuke agrees to help him recover Zabuza's massive sword, the Kubikiribōchō. The pair heads for the Land of Waves to claim the blade, then presses on toward Karin, who already feels them approaching.
Konohamaru demonstrates his new perverted techniques for an amused Naruto and Sakura outside Ramen Ichiraku. Sasuke proposes forming a group of himself, Suigetsu, Karin, and Jūgo. Suigetsu agrees on the condition that Sasuke help him retrieve the Kubikiribōchō. They travel to the Land of Waves to recover the sword. The duo then moves toward Karin's location, which she senses in advance.

Naruto vs Luffy with the twist nobody asked for: Luffy tickled Hinata on date night, and she kind of liked it. We break down the whole fight and commit to a winner....

Naruto built the transformation jutsu himself, and the Hidden Leaf has been quietly not talking about it ever since. The story behind our 90s R&B record about the Naruko question everybody dodges....
The chapter sits in the Itachi Pursuit Mission arc and was collected in Volume 38. It marks an early step in the formation of the group that would become known as Taka.
