Kakashi sends Sakura, Sasuke and Naruto on another mission. They are to bring a paw print of Nekomata. Nekomata is a huge and skillful cat in ninja world and hides in impregnable fortress. Mission begins at granny's place where Uchiha clan used to buy weapons. Granny pulls out a Paw Encyclopedia a collection of paw prints assembled by Sasuke long time ago as a child. Itachi used to give his younger brother Sasuke these tasks of assembling cat paws of quick and nimble cats.
To catch a cat you need to act like one. Sasuke, Sakura and Naruto wear these cat ear muffs pretending to be cats. This decoy didn't work well and they're soon uncovered. Sakura and Sasuke separate as they're trying to locate Nekomata. Naruto didn't get in this fortress at first for loosing his muffs. Swimming then climbing Naruto finds a different way to get into the fortress.
Cat's paw print is not easily taken as these three soon discover. Sakura has to battle a ninja guard cat and only with help of water gets him to give up. Sasuke gets trapped by dozens of cats, but soon fights them off. Encounter with Nekomata is epic. Nekomata fights like a real ninja cat and when Genjutsu doesn't work the cat tries some old fashioned brutal force. This overwhelms Sasuke and he is in nick of time saved by Naruto and his clones. Sasuke recovers and with help of paper bombs takes Nekomata down. Mission is accomplished.
