Naruto is paired with Sai for Yamato's Buddy System, despite his objections; Sakura is assigned to support Yamato. Yamato conducts a simulation of the meeting, with himself as the spy, to gauge Naruto and Sai's abilities and teamwork. After Naruto makes a mistake, Sai immobilizes him and goes off alone. Naruto is angered with Sai for not acting as a comrade would, but resolves to work together with him to get Sasuke back. Sai then reveals to Sakura that he has no emotions, and little understanding of them.
