an enormous size, catching the attention of nearly everyone in the battle. He asked Shikamaru and Ino to back him up while he ended the battle.

By nightfall, Chōji has managed to capture [[Hizashi Hyūga]] in his hand while crushing Kakuzu underneath his other fist. The apparent victory is short-lived, as [[Tobi]] soon appears on the battlefield [[Demonic Statue of the Outer Path]]. Chōji and his father confront the statue but are no match for it, only being flung back in the failed offensive. Returning to his regular size, Chōji bunkers down with the rest of his team as Statue goes on a rampage. After the attack subsides, Chōji plans with the rest of his team and Tenten.
