Naruto started halfway through his fight with the "genius" Uchiha Sasuke. While the guy was a pretty good friend, right now he had a lot of power and almost no skill, unlike normally, where he had moderate power with almost no skill. This frustrated Naruto, mainly because he took being a ninja seriously and didn't like to advertise his skill. But since this fight seems to have inspired a sudden understanding of Hinata, he knew that right now what she needed most, was oddly enough for him to be acknowledged as powerful. Best way to accomplish that was to turn away from plan "allow Sasuke to escape to preserve our friendship" to plan "knock the shit out of Sasuke and bring his whiny ass back to Konoha".
And so for one fight, he would be completely serious. Naruto powers up internally with a good portion of his power, and using the taijutsu style he invented himself, moved through the Sharingan wielder's evasion like he was standing still and planted one of the old lady's patented chakra punches to his face. Sasuke reverted to his origional form after he had fallen unconscious. Naruto hefted him over his shoulder and began to run, even as his wounds began to heal.
He encountered Gaara shortly after he and Lee had finished the freaky bone guy. The newly formed party went off to find the remaining members of their group. Gaara informed them that Chouji and Neji were back in ICU in Konoha already and that Kiba and Shikamaru were receiving aid from his siblings with their own battles at the moment.
The group went on to collect Temari and Kankuro as well as Shikamaru and Kiba, and headed back towards Konoha. They dropped Sasuke at the hospital for some facial reconstruction at the same time they dropped Kiba and Shikamaru off, the difference being that Sasuke left with a single ANBU agent as well as his doctors and plastic surgeons.
