Within minutes only the masked man - previously transformed as the woman - remains. Sasuke begins working through the purple ninja, quickly knocking them out one after the other. So when the old man escapes through the train window and Sasuke makes no effort to go after him, Konohamaru takes this to mean that it's his job to capture him. From the way the other ninja gather around the old man, Konohamaru and Sasuke guess that he's the leader. He is instead saved by Sasuke, whose Great Fireball Technique briefly disperses the purple ninja. As the twelve swoop down on him, Konohamaru tries to come up with some way of fending them off. Konohamaru is doubtful of this until ten more purple ninja from the next car join them. The two correctly identify Konohamaru as a jōnin and express eagerness in killing him. He is joined by an old man, whose bib indicates he was transformed as the baby. The transformation gone, the woman turns out to actually be a masked man, dressed all in purple. Konohamaru tries to comfort her, but realises just in time that she is actually a transformed ninja. The next car is empty as well, except for a lone woman with a baby who appears to be too scared to leave. The first car is empty, its occupants likely having fled because of how close to the explosion they were. He tells the girl to stay put and begins moving forward from car to car.
In the few seconds it takes him to realise this, Sasuke is already headed for the engine Konohamaru takes this to mean Sasuke is leaving him in charge of finding whoever is responsible. Konohamaru notices the train gaining speed and guesses that the explosion damaged the throttle, which will eventually cause the train to crash. Just as they're about to go searching, another explosion occurs, this time at the front of the train. This suggests that the culprit is not a ninja, and therefore is likely still on board. Before Konohamaru can ask how someone so young could afford to reserve a luxury car, Sasuke draws his attention to some debris he's found: the remnants of a timed explosive. Konohamaru questions her, and she explains that she reserved this entire car for herself but left temporarily to get visit the dining car. She is shocked by all of the ice, and is shocked again when she's told about the explosion she's been listening to music on her headphones and so hadn't heard anything. Konohamaru asks if this is Ice Release, but Sasuke insists it was a simple combination of Water Release and then Wind Release Konohamaru struggles to accept this as "simple".īefore Sasuke and Konohamaru can begin their investigation, they are interrupted by the arrival of a teenage girl. Indeed, by the time Konohamaru arrives at the rear car, the fire is extinguished, with the car's luxurious interior instead covered in ice. Once he's gotten everyone returned to their seats, Konohamaru checks for Sasuke, who he sees is already gone he guesses that Sasuke prioritised putting out the fire from the explosion. Konohamaru announces himself as a ninja to calm them down. The passengers, frightened, try to flee towards the engine, away from the explosion. Just as Konohamaru is about to take a nap of his own, an explosion occurs in the rear car of the train.
Although Sasuke is a famous ninja and, technically, a criminal on probation, his presence on the train is going unnoticed by the other passengers, all of them ordinary people. Konohamaru is surprised to see Sasuke and assumes he's making one of his routine reports to Konoha. So he surveys the train car's other passengers and sees Sasuke Uchiha napping in another seat. Although he's tempted to relax, he decides this would be hypocritical, as he always warns his students to remain vigilant when on a mission. He is returning from making a delivery to the Kazekage, a mission that was essentially risk-free. Konohamaru Sarutobi rides a Thunder Train bound for Konohagakure.
