**[01:30] ---**
*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!
