Could Neji really be next? My gut says this spider guy is even more twisted than the sound ninja from before, and after Choji's near-death experience, I'm just praying Neji pulls through.

Those disgusting spider webs made for a cool fight because Neji standing his ground shows how much he actually cares about the mission now

Using spit to make those golden weapons is the weirdest thing Kidomaru has done so far. Neji looks like he is in over his head and the Gentle Fist is his only chance to survive

That spider guy is absolute nightmare fuel with his extra eyes and his movement through the trees. Neji is the only one who could even stand a chance against those chakra webs and it is stressful watching him fight alone

Neji telling Naruto that he has better eyes is such a huge moment for their friendship after everything they went through. It makes the stakes feel higher now that Neji is facing that creepy spider ninja

Kidomaru is way too fast and his web traps are honestly disgusting to watch. It is scary seeing Neji struggle against someone who can just stick him to a tree and laugh while his friends run away

My heart sank when Neji told the others to keep going because I am still not over Choji being gone. Kidomaru is such a freak and it is gross how he treats the fight like a game

Watching Shikamaru change the plan when the disguise failed was smart, but Neji staying behind really hurts. Seeing the team get smaller while Sasuke sits in a barrel makes you wonder if this is even worth the cost

It was so hard watching the guys leave Neji behind, especially after what happened to Choji in the last one. Hearing Neji say that Naruto has better eyes really hit me because it shows how much he has changed since the exams. Neji is playing a dangerous game with those spider webs, and that gold spit stuff is just way too much for me

Shikamaru trying to act like Jirobo was actually pretty funny until he got caught and everything went south. Kidomaru is terrifying with all those extra arms and his webs look impossible to escape without help

I still feel sick about Choji and now Neji is staying behind to fight that gross spider guy alone. The way Kidomaru spits out those webs is so nasty and I hope Neji can actually cut through them

The tension is through the roof right now. Shikamaru almost had them with that Jirobo disguise, but the fact it failed just shows these sound ninja are not messing around at all. Neji telling the others to keep moving was a huge moment, but after what happened to Choji, you have to wonder if anyone is actually going to make it back.

My heart dropped when Kidomaru caught them all in that giant web and I really hope Neji has a plan because that guy seems way stronger than the last one

Is Sasuke even worth all this trouble at this point because Neji staying behind after Choji potentially died is starting to feel like way too high of a price to pay

It feels like the stakes just keep climbing, and Neji deciding to stay behind feels like a death sentence after seeing what Choji went through in the last fight.

Kidomaru has such a weird fighting style and the way he just hangs in the trees waiting for Neji to make a mistake makes this feel so much more dangerous

The way everyone got caught in that big gold web was terrifying and Neji cutting through it to save Naruto and the others was exactly what they needed to keep moving

That spider guy is so creepy with the extra arms and the webbing and I am genuinely stressed for Neji right now because those traps look impossible to get out of

Neji standing his ground and telling the rest of the group to keep going while he takes on the spider guy was such a massive moment for his character after everything

Shikamaru trying to trick them by turning into Jirobo was actually such a smart play even if it did not work out in the end and he got caught by that spider guy

EPISODE CONTEXT

Sitting deep in the Sasuke Retrieval Mission arc, Episode 115 follows the retrieval team splitting off to handle individual Sound Four opponents, a pattern established in the episodes prior. Neji's confrontation with Kidōmaru is one of the arc's defining one-on-one battles, and this episode builds the foundation for its resolution while the broader mission to recover Sasuke continues to escalate around it. The stakes established here feed directly into the arc's mounting tension as each squad member faces their own do-or-die moment.
