At the start of the mission, Chōji took on the [[Sound Four]] member [[Jirōbō]]. Jirōbō initially proved to be too strong for Chōji to beat, forcing Chōji to use the Akimichi clan's special [[Three Coloured Pills]]. Although reluctant to use the pills, Jirōbō's constant mocking of Shikamaru as a worthless, selfish, and uncaring leader convinced Chōji to take all three pills. With the accompanying increase in strength, he was able to kill Jirōbō notingthatwhile it wasfineforpeopletomockhimandeveneathisfood,itwasunforgivabletospeakillofhisbestfriend.With that Chōji sends a fist crashing into Jirōbō's stomach, killing theOto-nin.

As he headed through the forest, suffering the effects of the pills and severely emaciated, Chōji sees the arrow left by his comrades, he collapses beneath it, and tearfully mused to his father that he had finally found good friends. Near death, Chōji was found by members of the [[Konoha Medic Corps]] and rushed back to the village for emergency treatment. With the efforts of The [[Nara clan]]'s [[Nara Clan Medical Encyclopaedia|medical encyclopaedia]] which they had listed their research on their comrade's pills and their effects along with [[Tsunade]]'s medical expertise allowed Chōji to evade death, and make a full recovery.
