**Naruto** continues his coordination training with Gamatatsu while Gamakichi and Jiraiya observe. After a few hours, he nearly passes out, and is offered a popsicle by Jiraiya. Jiraiya tells him that everyone he has met so far is aware of how strong he is training, and that the mystery is how he keeps it up. Naruto states that he doesn't like to give up and the thought of what Sasuke would think drives him to continue his training; he then passes out on Jiraiya's back.
