I can say this is skip. Though this episode has only information where they only exchange information, like meeting about Naruto.

It was scary hearing Jiraiya talk about the Nine Tails chakra leaking out of Naruto because things are clearly getting way worse

Naruto and Sakura looked ready to kill Sai after he started talking trash about Sasuke and nobody can even blame them

Episode Context

Team Kakashi is technically assembled, but calling them a team would be generous. This episode zeroes in on the friction that comes from throwing strangers into high-stakes situations and expecting them to function as a unit. Naruto and Sakura are forced to reckon with Sai's presence and everything it represents, while Yamato steps into a leadership role that demands more diplomacy than jutsu. The pacing is deliberately slower, prioritizing sharp character interactions over action sequences. Expect tension-laced conversations, unspoken resentments, and the kind of psychological chess that makes Shippuden's character writing compelling. The title itself captures the mood perfectly, someone here feels unwanted, and the episode doesn't shy away from that discomfort. This is setup done right, building emotional stakes that will pay off when the pressure of a real mission hits.
