    A Place to Return to
    
    
[01:49] ---
    Oww!
[01:50] ---
    Try to bear with it.
[01:52] ---
    This should ease the pain a bit.
[01:54] ---
    Thank you, Sakura...
[01:57] ---
    *The wound is deep.
    I'll do what I can here...
[02:01] ---
    Sakura...
[02:02] ---
    How is Yuukimaru doing?
[02:04] ---
    Shizune Senpai and the others
    are tending to him now.
[02:29] ---
    This is terrible. His Chakra Network is...
[02:31] ---
    Yes, he's suffered a lot of damage...
[02:35] ---
    Even with treatment,
[02:37] ---
    it'd be impossible to restore him
    to normal completely.
[02:40] ---
    It seems the power to control
    the Three-Tails took quite a toll
[02:44] ---
    on Yuukimaru's body.
[02:47] ---
    The Jutsu reduced his life...?
[02:49] ---
    Yes.
[02:51] ---
    I can't be certain until we conduct
    a thorough examination,
[02:54] ---
    but it's likely that Yuukimaru no longer
    has the powers he once had.
[02:59] ---
    We've now lost our only chance
    of controlling the Three-Tails...
[03:05] ---
    Perhaps, for this child,
    it's better that way...
[03:12] ---
    Shizune, how is Yuukimaru?
[03:16] ---
    He'll live. He's still asleep...
[03:31] ---
    Thank goodness he made it.
[03:33] ---
    Yeah...
[03:35] ---
    But...
[03:37] ---
    I wasn't able to help him
    at all in the end...
[03:40] ---
    What?
[03:42] ---
    I foolishly told him "wherever someone
    thinks about you is the place to return to..."
[03:49] ---
    But right before his eyes,
    he lost that very place to return to.
[03:54] ---
    That wasn't your fault.
[03:57] ---
    But still...
[03:59] ---
    *You are the one I should return to,
    after all...
[04:04] ---
    *And I'm the one
    you should return to, Guren.
[04:11] ---
    *I promise you...
    I will never leave your side.
[04:15] ---
    I will always think of you.
[04:17] ---
    *Uh-huh...
    And I will always think of you, Guren.
[04:23] ---
    From now, and forever...
[04:31] ---
    Naruto...
[04:33] ---
    I'm sorry. Yuukimaru...
[04:43] ---
    And that is the situation, Lady Tsunade.
[04:47] ---
    I see... I understand.
[04:55] ---
    Katsuyu, order everyone to return.
[04:59] ---
    Are you sure?
[05:01] ---
    We have no choice.
[05:02] ---
    It would be impossible to
    have them continue their mission.
[05:06] ---
    Now that the child has lost his powers,
[05:08] ---
    Orochimaru can no longer
    do anything to the Tailed Beast.
[05:12] ---
    We'll pull back for now, regroup,
    and come up with a new plan.
[05:17] ---
    But Orochimaru is not the only one
    who is after the Three-Tails...
[05:21] ---
    I'm perfectly aware of that.
[05:23] ---
    But the Three-Tails is an adversary
    that has given us
[05:25] ---
    a great deal of trouble up to this point.
[05:27] ---
    Even the Akatsuki won't
    have an easy time.
[05:32] ---
    I'll send Ninja to
    replace them immediately.
[05:35] ---
    Once they arrive,
    have them tell everyone to withdraw!
[05:39] ---
    Right away.
[05:41] ---
    Those are Lady Tsunade's orders.
[05:44] ---
    Understood.
[05:45] ---
    We'll inform everyone immediately.
[05:49] ---
    We have new orders from Lady Hokage.
[05:52] ---
    We will abort our current mission.
[05:54] ---
    Our orders are to return to
    the village immediately.
[05:57] ---
    - What?
    - Huh?!
[05:58] ---
    That was sudden.
[06:00] ---
    Hey c'mon, is it okay to leave
    the Three-Tails?
[06:03] ---
    We won't have to worry about that.
[06:05] ---
    They're sending Ninja to replace us
    and maintain the watch.
[06:10] ---
    But still...!
[06:11] ---
    There's nothing we can do
    even if we remain here.
[06:16] ---
    Everyone has suffered too many wounds.
[06:19] ---
    Lady Tsunade has decided that
    it would be more effective
[06:22] ---
    if we brought back the information
    we've gained this time around
[06:25] ---
    and apply it to our next plan instead.
[06:29] ---
    We'll move out tomorrow morning.
[06:31] ---
    I want you all to get a good night's rest
    before we move out.
[07:16] ---
    Guren...
[07:20] ---
    Guren...
[07:23] ---
    Gozu?
[07:25] ---
    Why're you...
[07:28] ---
    Why're you saving me...?
[07:32] ---
    Do you remember...that day?
[07:36] ---
    *I was placed in solitary after losing control
    during Orochimaru's experiment...
[07:41] ---
    *I was hardly given any water
    or food to speak of.
[07:45] ---
    I was on the verge of dying from thirst.
[07:48] ---
    *Then you came and kindly gave me
    a ladleful of water.
[07:54] ---
    Because of that, I was able to survive.
[07:58] ---
    Ever since that day, I...
[08:01] ---
    *I don't even remember.
    I must've been feeling generous.
[08:06] ---
    *Even if that were so,
    I've always admired you since then...
[08:20] ---
    Guren...
[08:27] ---
    O-Ow...
[08:30] ---
    Huh?!
[08:33] ---
    Yuukimaru?!
[08:36] ---
    Damn!
[08:48] ---
    Senpai.
[08:59] ---
    Damn! Where could he have gone?!
[09:02] ---
    His body's...
[09:05] ---
    in no condition to...!
[09:11] ---
    Yuukimaru...
[09:15] ---
    Damn!
[09:18] ---
    A grass whistle?
[09:19] ---
    Could it be Yuukimaru?!
[09:22] ---
    Come back! Yuukimaru--!
[09:39] ---
    Yuukimaru!
    Where are you, Yuukimaru?!
[10:00] ---
    Damn! It's my fault...!
[10:06] ---
    Yuukimaru...
[10:13] ---
    This is...!
[10:15] ---
    Why would he leave behind something
    as important as...?
[10:30] ---
    There isn't even a single crack...
[10:34] ---
    I see. So that's it...
[10:39] ---
    Yuukimaru disappeared?
[10:41] ---
    How could he even move
    in his condition?
[10:44] ---
    Hey, Naruto.
    You were in the room with him.
[10:47] ---
    Didn't you notice?
[10:48] ---
    No, I guess not.
[10:49] ---
    Huh?! How can you call yourself
    a Ninja?!
[10:52] ---
    Just what you'd expect from a Genin!
[10:54] ---
    Shut up!
    You were asleep, too, you know!
[10:56] ---
    Why you...!
[10:57] ---
    Don't put me in the same league
    as a stamina freak like you!
[11:00] ---
    Arguing won't do any good!
[11:03] ---
    But I'm worried about Yuukimaru.
[11:06] ---
    He has nowhere to go, and...
[11:08] ---
    We can't just ignore him!
    Let's all look for him!
[11:11] ---
    I agree!
[11:12] ---
    That won't be necessary.
[11:15] ---
    The reason is...
[11:17] ---
    because a child who lost his power
    to control the Three-Tails
[11:20] ---
    is no longer a threat to us.
[11:23] ---
    That's not the issue here!
[11:25] ---
    No, Shino is right.
[11:27] ---
    We're under no obligation to look
    for a child who ran away.
[11:31] ---
    And besides,
    we've been ordered to return.
[11:35] ---
    But that's...!
[11:36] ---
    Are you okay with that, Naruto?!
[11:38] ---
    Yeah, there's nothing to worry about.
[11:40] ---
    He can handle himself.
[11:44] ---
    Naruto...?
[11:48] ---
    We'd better be on our way.
[11:51] ---
    Sorry to keep you all waiting, Kakashi.
[11:57] ---
    I was hoping we could have
    shaken up the Akatsuki...
[12:02] ---
    I'm sorry. I didn't count on
    the Leaf Ninja interfering.
[12:07] ---
    And so, did that woman...
[12:09] ---
    Guren die?
[12:12] ---
    Regretfully, yes.
[12:14] ---
    She possessed very interesting powers...
[12:17] ---
    Like you mean that...
[12:20] ---
    Maybe you were the one who killed her?
[12:24] ---
    Heaven forbid.
[12:26] ---
    Well, never mind.
[12:28] ---
    We can find any number of replacements
    for someone of her ability.
[12:32] ---
    But Yuukimaru...
[12:34] ---
    Leave it.
[12:35] ---
    At this point...
[12:38] ---
    Lord Orochimaru!
[12:39] ---
    I'll bring your medicine right away!
[12:46] ---
    That host body has reached its limit...
[12:55] ---
    At this point, it has lost all meaning...
[12:59] ---
    Because soon,
    I will possess his body...
[13:18] ---
    What's the matter, Naruto?
[13:24] ---
    No, it's nothing...
[13:45] ---
    Is that the regular report?
[13:46] ---
    Yeah...
[13:48] ---
    A fog is forming.
[13:50] ---
    According to the unit we're taking over for,
[13:51] ---
    it's apparently created by
    the Three-Tails.
[13:54] ---
    It induces hallucinations, so be careful.
[13:57] ---
    That's news to me, hmm...
[14:02] ---
    You! That costume...
[14:04] ---
    Dam--!
[14:14] ---
    Humph...
[14:15] ---
    Oh wow! Deidara Senpai,
    that was awesome!
[14:19] ---
    That's the last of the lookouts.
[14:21] ---
    Your info was way off.
[14:25] ---
    "A force separate from
    the Leaf Ninja was engaged
[14:27] ---
    in a vigorous clash over the Three-Tails."
[14:30] ---
    Wasn't that what you said?
[14:31] ---
    Well, that's how it was supposed to be...
    That's odd.
[14:36] ---
    But oh well, it's good that we got rid
    of the ones in our way.
[14:41] ---
    Let's make our quota right now
    while we have the chance!
[14:43] ---
    You're a hundred years too young
    to be giving me orders, hmm...
[14:51] ---
    H-H-Hey, Senpai!
[14:53] ---
    Weren't you listening to the story
    about the hallucinations?
[14:56] ---
    Who do you think you're speaking to?
[14:58] ---
    Don't underestimate my art.
[15:04] ---
    Sheesh, he's got a short temper...
[15:09] ---
    That's a huge lake to find
    the Three-Tails in.
[15:15] ---
    It'd be faster if it appeared on its own.
[15:47] ---
    Oh! On closer inspection,
    it looks something like a huge turtle.
[15:53] ---
    A powerful one...
[15:55] ---
    So that's the Three-Tails...
[15:57] ---
    I think I'll leave it for you to handle,
    Deidara Senpai.
[16:01] ---
    Tobi, you formally became
    a member of Akatsuki, right?
[16:05] ---
    You take care of the rest, hmm!
[16:08] ---
    No way...
[16:20] ---
    It's coming!
[16:23] ---
    If it's a water creature,
    shouldn't we have let Kisame handle it?!
[16:27] ---
    I'd say they assigned
    the wrong person for the job!
[16:52] ---
    Pitiful, I'd say.
[17:12] ---
    Now!
[17:20] ---
    Is something the matter?
[17:22] ---
    No...
[17:27] ---
    It appears everyone has entered
    the Land of Fire safely.
[17:30] ---
    I see. Good work.
[17:32] ---
    You may now return, Katsuyu.
[17:34] ---
    Yes.
[17:47] ---
    I did it! Banzai! Banzaai!
[17:51] ---
    Deidara, did you see my Jutsu?!
    Just one time, and bam!
[17:56] ---
    You can understand why
    I was given this important assignment
[18:00] ---
    right after formally becoming a member
    of Akatsuki, can't you?!
[18:04] ---
    No... It was probably my clay bomb
    doing its artistic work.
[18:08] ---
    You have my artistry to thank, hmm.
[18:11] ---
    Don't get so carried away that
    you forgot that I lent you a hand!
[18:15] ---
    If you're a member of Akatsuki,
    don't talk so much and act more cool.
[18:20] ---
    In other words, "cool = art"!
[18:26] ---
    Listen, art is a passionate moment
    coming from cool emotions--!
[18:32] ---
    Senpai, you talk a lot.
[18:40] ---
    I was joking...!
[18:46] ---
    What is it?
[18:47] ---
    It's just that...
[18:48] ---
    contact from the unit that headed for
    the lake is rather late, don't you think?
[18:54] ---
    Let's file a report, just in case.
[18:59] ---
    Listen, Tobi.
[19:01] ---
    You shouldn't press your luck!
[19:04] ---
    The Three-Tails was just weak
    because it didn't have a Jinchuriki host.
[19:08] ---
    It didn't have a mind to control its power.
[19:18] ---
    Hey, Tobi.
[19:19] ---
    You don't have to be so cool
    as to stop talking altogether.
[19:22] ---
    At least answer me...
[19:24] ---
    Hmm?!
[19:26] ---
    Oh that's the spot...
[19:30] ---
    Oh my...
[19:35] ---
    This is the perfect wake up
    for you, I'd say. You bastard!
[19:41] ---
    Wow, it feels like I hadn't
    been back in ages.
[19:45] ---
    We had one mission after another...
[19:47] ---
    Dinner tonight is at Ichiraku!
[19:52] ---
    Say, Naruto.
[19:55] ---
    Huh?
[19:56] ---
    About Yuukimaru...
    Are you sure it was best that way?
[20:00] ---
    You used to worry so much about him.
[20:04] ---
    That's okay.
[20:05] ---
    Besides, even if we went looking for him,
    he wouldn't be easy to find anyway.
[20:10] ---
    What do you mean?
[20:11] ---
    The Pervy Sage's words
    were true, after all.
[20:15] ---
    He said wherever someone cares
    about you is the place you return to.
[20:19] ---
    If you believe, and keep thinking,
    about that person...
[20:22] ---
    your feelings will surely get across, he said.
[20:24] ---
    What? Is this...what I think it is?
[20:32] ---
    So...we should keep thinking, too.
[20:36] ---
    We need to create a place
    that Sasuke can return to.
[20:42] ---
    Right.
[22:37] ---
    So that's your move...
    Just as I expected.
    
    
[22:39] ---
    You are weaker than me...
    
    
[22:41] ---
    There's no longer any need for me
    to give you my body.
    
    
[22:44] ---
    You Uchiha fledgling...!
    
    
[22:46] ---
    If I hadn't been a fledgling,
    you'd have had no chance at me, right?
    
    
[22:49] ---
    Silence!
    
    
[22:50] ---
    I don't like the way you do things.
    
    
[22:53] ---
    You continue to toy with others
    for your own pathetic reasons...
    
    
[22:58] ---
    You make me sick!
    
    
[23:00] ---
    Next time: "The Serpent's Pupil"
    
    
[23:05] ---
    Tune in again!
