Their sensei, Asuma, isn't someone … Karui is also q… To Chōji's horror, Shikamaru fell victim to the tree's attack and drained of nearly all his chakra, Shikamaru collapsed in Chōji's arms. Seeing through Ino's ploy, Ultimately, Ino succeeds in expelling Saya from Chōji's mind, allowing Chōji to regain control of himself and attacked the enemies, forcing them to retreat. During the Fourth Shinobi World War, however, Chōji was able to overcome these issues and become one of the major contributing factors in the Allied Shinobi Forces turning the tide of the battle in their favour. "Let's do this!" However, he does not hide his love for food and his near constant hunger is also an annoyance to his teammates, as eating often comes before other necessities such as stealth and teamwork. Chōji recognised him as the one who had defended him earlier, and asked Shikamaru why he wasn't playing the game, to which Shikamaru responded that it was too troublesome. His father Chōza, Shikamaru, and Asuma Sarutobi all believe that Choji's greatest strength is his kindness and concern for his friends, which the latter states could someday make him stronger than anyone.

Chōji would then eat ramen with his team and with Naruto and Sakura, commenting that he wouldn't be able to finish all the ramen Naruto's buying him. Sai was surprised to see them after his encounter with them. This delighted Chōji, and he eagerly asked Shikamaru if he wanted to eat some snacks that he had brought. In the last match of the preliminaries, Chōji was matched against When Sasuke Uchiha abandoned Konoha, Shikamaru asked Chōji to join the At the start of the mission, Chōji took on the Sound Four member Jirōbō. To their dismay, no one was interested (oblivious to the fact that all their clothing was oversized). In Part II, Chōji sports a red suit with plated armour on his torso, arms, and upper legs, having the same kanji for "food" (食, shoku) on the front. His peers would always berate him, telling him that any team that he was on was bound to lose.
