Cornered in the Forest of Death, Team Oboro hides behind mirror images while Team 7 struggles to find the real enemy. Kabuto's help turns the fight, though his easy assistance hints at motives far beyond a fellow examinee.
Summary
Boxed in, Team Oboro spawns haze clones to blur which fighter is genuine, leaving Team 7 wasting effort on decoys as their opponents look for a killing blow. Kabuto takes a serious wound shielding Naruto, but the sacrifice opens a gap that Naruto exploits to break Team Oboro. With the enemy down, Team 7 grabs the scroll it needs and heads for the tower at the exam's end.
Key Events
Kabuto rejoins his own squad and the groups split apart, Team 7 slipping into the building by a separate entrance. Away from prying eyes, Kabuto's team briefs Orochimaru on how Sasuke is coming along, and Kabuto mends his supposedly grave injuries without any trouble at all.
Notes
Having cleared the second stage, Team 7 is told to finally unroll both of the scrolls it has been carrying. Kabuto's flawless self-healing quietly exposes that his clumsy, helpful persona is nothing but an act.
