~ A Boy's Life on the Battlefield ~ Part 1
    
    *
[01:33] ---
    This is bad!
[01:38] ---
    At this rate, I'll be killed!
[01:40] ---
    Can I make it?!
[01:50] ---
    Did I make it?
[01:52] ---
    No, Obito, you're late!
[01:55] ---
    What time did you think
    we were supposed to meet?!
[01:59] ---
    If you're a full-fledged ninja
[02:00] ---
    you're expected to follow the rules!
[02:04] ---
    Well... I was on the way,
[02:06] ---
    but an old lady carrying a load
    asked me for directions...
[02:09] ---
    And I got something in my eye...
[02:10] ---
    Okay! That's a lie, isn't it?!
[02:13] ---
    That's enough, Kakashi.
[02:15] ---
    Obito showed the old lady the way...
[02:19] ---
    Isn't that right?
[02:20] ---
    I carried her bag too!
[02:22] ---
    You're too lenient, Sensei.
[02:24] ---
    Besides, there's no way that
    some needy person appears
[02:27] ---
    before Obito each and every time!
[02:29] ---
    Those who break the rules and
    regulations are regarded as scum!
[02:33] ---
    Isn't that so?!
[02:37] ---
    Don't you have a shred of kindness
    in your heart?!
[02:40] ---
    All you ever talk about are
    rules and regulations!
[02:43] ---
    The main thing is
    your own self-control.
[02:46] ---
    Now stop it, both of you.
    We're all on the same team.
[02:51] ---
    You're too easy on Obito, Rin.
[02:54] ---
    This is an important day for me too.
[02:57] ---
    Y-You're right...
[03:00] ---
    What was it again?
[03:02] ---
    As of today, Kakashi is a jonin like me.
[03:06] ---
    And in order to increase
    our efficiency,
[03:09] ---
    we'll be splitting into two teams.
[03:12] ---
    After all, presently the Leaf Village
    is at an unprecedented low
[03:14] ---
    on military strength.
[03:15] ---
    Splitting up? Then...
[03:18] ---
    Yes, that's right.
[03:19] ---
    Kakashi will be captain of
    a three-man squad with Obito and Rin.
[03:23] ---
    And I'll be working alone.
[03:25] ---
    Remember, we talked about
    this the other day, Obito...
[03:28] ---
    About getting Kakashi a gift.
[03:33] ---
    Sorry... I wasn't listening.
[03:37] ---
    This is my gift.
    A custom-made kunai knife.
[03:41] ---
    It's sort of heavy and odd-shaped,
[03:42] ---
    but once you get accustomed to it,
    it's easy to use.
[03:45] ---
    Thank you.
[03:47] ---
    And this is from me.
[03:48] ---
    Here! A personalized special medkit...
[03:51] ---
    I adjusted things a little,
    to make it easier to use.
[03:55] ---
    Thanks.
[03:59] ---
    Wh-What's with that hand?
[04:02] ---
    I don't have anything to give you!
[04:05] ---
    Well... I don't mind.
[04:06] ---
    It wouldn't have been anything
    worthwhile anyway.
[04:09] ---
    Getting something useless
    would only get in the way.
[04:12] ---
    I still can't figure out
    why you became a jonin!
[04:16] ---
    You should talk.
[04:19] ---
    I'm Obito Uchiha of the Uchiha clan!
[04:23] ---
    I'll surpass you some day!
    The minute my "Sharingan" awakens!
[04:29] ---
    Everyone in the Uchiha clan
    is elite, right?
[04:32] ---
    So you shouldn't have to rely
    on something like that.
[04:36] ---
    What...?!
[04:37] ---
    Stop it, you two!
[04:40] ---
    Can I start to explain the mission
    to you?
[04:43] ---
    We're close to the border.
[04:51] ---
    Got it? It's this line.
[04:53] ---
    It shows where the Land of Earth
    is currently invading
[04:55] ---
    the Hidden Grass Village.
[04:58] ---
    Our enemies are
    the Hidden Stone Ninja...
[05:01] ---
    We have received word that
    1000 ninja already make up the front line.
[05:06] ---
    They've advanced considerably
    since the last time.
[05:08] ---
    The Land of Fire shares borders
    with the Hidden Grass.
[05:11] ---
    We should have stepped
    in long ago.
[05:14] ---
    Judging by the size of this advance...
[05:17] ---
    they must have an efficient system
    for reinforcement.
[05:21] ---
    Hence, our mission is here...
    at Kannabi Bridge.
[05:26] ---
    To crush one's enemy at
    the battlefront requires
[05:28] ---
    an immense number of ninja.
[05:31] ---
    So ninja like us,
    who focus on sabotage missions,
[05:34] ---
    are forced to work in small, select teams.
[05:37] ---
    The bridge...you say?
[05:40] ---
    Then it's an infiltration mission?
[05:44] ---
    Right! Team Kakashi...
[05:46] ---
    Your mission is to infiltrate
    the enemy's rear territory.
[05:49] ---
    You will destroy this bridge, which is used
    to transport supplies and reinforcements.
[05:55] ---
    And when this is done,
    withdraw immediately.
[05:57] ---
    - Yes sir!
    - Yes sir!
[06:01] ---
    And you, Sensei?
[06:03] ---
    I will face the enemy directly
    on the battlefront.
[06:06] ---
    I'll create a diversion for you.
[06:09] ---
    In any case,
    Kakashi is your captain today.
[06:12] ---
    We'll travel together to the border,
[06:14] ---
    but after that your mission commences!
[06:18] ---
    - Yes sir!
    - Yes sir!
[06:32] ---
    Nice...Kakashi.
[06:34] ---
    *They noticed...
    They're pretty good.
[06:40] ---
    He's...
[06:41] ---
    No, that can't be...
[06:44] ---
    I'll just watch the situation.
[06:48] ---
    One...
[06:49] ---
    No! Be on guard, everyone.
    There are twenty of them.
[06:54] ---
    Although it's probably
    a Shadow Clone Jutsu.
[06:57] ---
    I think you're right. Sensei...
    I'll attack.
[07:01] ---
    Can you cover me?
[07:03] ---
    Don't be hasty, Kakashi.
    I think you should back me up.
[07:09] ---
    Sensei... I'm the captain today!
[07:12] ---
    I want to test a new jutsu
    I've been working on.
[07:16] ---
    He's coming...
[07:17] ---
    Chidori!
[07:19] ---
    What is that jutsu?!
[07:21] ---
    Wh-What an incredible chakra...
[07:24] ---
    Here I go!
[07:28] ---
    No matter what their numbers are,
[07:29] ---
    with this jutsu,
    I can take them down in a flash.
[07:31] ---
    It's just like your nickname.
[07:34] ---
    Besides...
[07:35] ---
    Sensei... You said it yourself.
[07:38] ---
    Right now, I'm the captain.
[07:40] ---
    The rule says that the team must obey
    its captain's orders, Sensei!
[07:50] ---
    To think he'd attack head on...
[08:02] ---
    *Your kunai attacks helped me
    pinpoint your location.
[08:05] ---
    Here I go!
[08:10] ---
    He's fast!
[08:14] ---
    Damn! It's a Shadow Clone...!
[08:17] ---
    Then on to the next!
[08:25] ---
    Don't let your guard down!
[08:27] ---
    Yes sir!
[08:32] ---
    That's number 18!
[08:35] ---
    Don't get cocky, brat!
[08:49] ---
    Kakashi!
[08:51] ---
    I was barely able to counter
    that brat.
[08:54] ---
    But that yellow-haired guy's moves are...
[08:57] ---
    I marked him...
[09:18] ---
    Sensei's Transportation Technique is
    
...so fast!

[09:22] ---
    N-No way... Are you the
    "Yellow Flash of the Leaf"?!
[09:28] ---
    Those of us from the Land of Earth...
[09:30] ---
    have been taught by our commanders
    to run when we see you.
[09:35] ---
    I finally understand what they meant.
[09:43] ---
    Kakashi's wound is serious...
[09:46] ---
    We'll retreat and regroup.
[09:49] ---
    I'm all right!
[09:50] ---
    No, you're not!
[09:52] ---
    All because you ignored Sensei's warnings
    and charged ahead!
[09:56] ---
    I don't need to listen to that.
[09:58] ---
    Not from the "Uchiha elite"
    who was whining in fear back there!
[10:02] ---
    I-I got some dust in my eye and
    started tearing up, that's all!
[10:06] ---
    Do you know the 25th rule
    of Shinobi Conduct?
[10:09] ---
    The rule says a ninja must not
    show tears!
[10:14] ---
    Hey... Stop it, you two...
[10:17] ---
    That's enough, both of you!
[10:21] ---
    Kakashi, rules and regulations
    are indeed important.
[10:24] ---
    But that isn't everything.
    Didn't I teach you...?
[10:28] ---
    There are times when
    the situation requires
[10:30] ---
    impromptu responses against the enemy.
[10:34] ---
    There, you see?!
[10:35] ---
    Obito, you too!
[10:38] ---
    There's no way dust can get into
    your eyes when you have goggles on.
[10:42] ---
    If you're going to advocate self-control,
    don't just mouth the words.
[10:45] ---
    Act strong too.
[10:47] ---
    And one other thing...
[10:49] ---
    Kakashi... You shouldn't use
    that jutsu anymore.
[10:54] ---
    From what I could see,
[10:55] ---
    your focal point concentrated attack
    undoubtedly has power and speed...
[11:00] ---
    But it makes you move too fast to
    ascertain the opponent's counterattack.
[11:05] ---
    It's still an imperfect jutsu.
[11:09] ---
    Before we part...
[11:10] ---
    I'll tell you one more thing.
[11:13] ---
    For a ninja, the most important thing
    is teamwork.
[11:27] ---
    Sensei...
[11:30] ---
    What's the matter?
[11:38] ---
    I know...
    that teamwork is important.
[11:43] ---
    But...
[11:44] ---
    Kakashi always criticizes me about
    how I lack discipline, so...
[11:50] ---
    I mean... I know that I'm the black sheep
    of the elite Uchiha Clan...
[11:57] ---
    And I admit that Kakashi is
    an awesome guy...
[12:02] ---
    Kakashi is the son of the genius ninja,
    Sakumo Hatake,
[12:05] ---
    feared as the "White Fang" of the Leaf.
[12:09] ---
    Even the legendary names of
    the Leaf's Three Great Ninja paled
[12:12] ---
    before his father's.
[12:15] ---
    His childhood years were spent
    under the shadow of such a genius...
[12:19] ---
    So I guess it can't be helped if,
    at times, he finds you lacking.
[12:24] ---
    White Fang...
[12:26] ---
    That's right...
    I've heard of him too.
[12:28] ---
    The hero who died protecting the village.
[12:32] ---
    Kakashi never said a word about that...
[12:37] ---
    He was a great man...
[12:39] ---
    Someone respected by everyone
    in the village,
[12:41] ---
    and naturally, by Kakashi himself.
[12:46] ---
    That is, until that incident...
[12:49] ---
    Incident?
[12:51] ---
    Perhaps, I shouldn't be telling you
    something like this...
[12:55] ---
    But since you're on the same team
    as Kakashi,
[12:57] ---
    I want you to know.
[12:59] ---
    What happened...?
[13:01] ---
    Kakashi's father, Sakumo,
[13:04] ---
    took his own life
    after being slandered.
[13:10] ---
    Five years ago, he was the leader
    of an extremely difficult mission
[13:13] ---
    and infiltrated enemy territory.
[13:15] ---
    He was forced to make a choice.
[13:18] ---
    The mission or his comrades' lives...
[13:22] ---
    Of course, according to
    the rules of the village,
[13:25] ---
    completing the mission was
    the right thing to do.
[13:27] ---
    However, in order to save
    his comrades,
[13:30] ---
    he suspended the mission.
[13:32] ---
    That resulted in grave losses to
    the Land of Fire and the village,
[13:36] ---
    and he was blamed for it.
[13:39] ---
    What's more, the very comrades
    he saved also criticized him.
[13:45] ---
    The whole ordeal took its toll
    on Sakumo's health,
[13:47] ---
    physically and mentally.
[13:49] ---
    And finally, he took his life.
[13:57] ---
    From then on, Kakashi never uttered
    a word about his father,
[14:02] ---
    and he strictly began to adhere
    to every rule and regulation.
[14:11] ---
    Obito...
[14:12] ---
    Obito... Try to understand,
    even if it's just a little.
[14:15] ---
    Kakashi means well.
[14:25] ---
    It's healing well.
[14:27] ---
    But don't over-exert yourself
    or you'll open up the wound.
[14:30] ---
    Yeah.
[14:33] ---
    Let's start heading out.
[14:35] ---
    - Yes sir!
    - Yes sir!
[14:36] ---
    We'll be splitting up from this point.
    Good luck to you all.
[14:40] ---
    The enemy the other day was
    doing surveillance alone.
[14:44] ---
    But from here on out,
    we'll be fighting teams.
[14:46] ---
    Be careful...
[14:48] ---
    Let's get going...
[14:50] ---
    Captain.
[14:56] ---
    All right... Let's go!
[14:58] ---
    - Yes sir!
    - Yes sir!
[14:59] ---
    Scatter!
[15:09] ---
    Hey... Mahiru went out for surveillance
    and hasn't come back.
[15:14] ---
    You don't think those young brats
    killed him, do you?
[15:18] ---
    Well then, let's ask them.
[15:21] ---
    Camouflage Jutsu...
[15:32] ---
    Fire Style: Fire Ball Jutsu!
[16:03] ---
    We're taking this one.
[16:08] ---
    Wait!
[16:14] ---
    Damn it!!
[16:15] ---
    Obito! Don't go after them!
[16:21] ---
    What?!
[16:23] ---
    Do you realize what you just said?!
[16:26] ---
    Yeah...
[16:28] ---
    The two of us will continue this mission.
[16:30] ---
    And Rin? What about Rin?!
[16:33] ---
    Rin comes later.
[16:35] ---
    The enemy wants to find out
    what we're up to.
[16:38] ---
    They won't kill her right away.
[16:40] ---
    And luckily, Rin is a Medical Ninja.
[16:43] ---
    So even if she ends up a prisoner of war,
    she'll probably be treated cordially...
[16:46] ---
    On the condition that she treat
    the wounded on their side.
[16:49] ---
    The problem is if the enemy learns
    about our strategy.
[16:54] ---
    If they obtain that information,
    no doubt,
[16:55] ---
    they'll immediately increase
    the security on the bridge.
[16:59] ---
    That will make our mission
    much more difficult.
[17:01] ---
    You're assuming Rin's safety
    under baseless assumptions!
[17:05] ---
    What if those guys just now are lackeys
    who don't give a damn?!
[17:09] ---
    Right now, saving Rin takes priority
    over the mission!
[17:15] ---
    A ninja...
[17:17] ---
    must sacrifice a comrade in order
    to carry out a mission.
[17:20] ---
    That is the rule.
[17:22] ---
    If we fail in this mission,
[17:24] ---
    it is possible that the war
    will be prolonged
[17:25] ---
    and many more lives will
    be sacrificed.
[17:28] ---
    That's just an assumption!
[17:30] ---
    And for something like that,
[17:32] ---
    you're willing to simply abandon
    a comrade
[17:34] ---
    who's been through life and death
    with you?!
[17:36] ---
    When you and I were wounded,
[17:39] ---
    Rin saved our lives with
    her Medical Ninjutsu!
[17:42] ---
    If she hadn't been there,
    we'd both be dead by now!
[17:47] ---
    That was Rin's duty.
[17:52] ---
    I don't like you, after all!
[17:55] ---
    I don't care. I'm the captain.
    You will obey me.
[18:00] ---
    Whatever the situation,
    in order to keep the team together,
[18:04] ---
    one person gives the orders.
[18:06] ---
    That is why we have the rule
    that states
[18:08] ---
    that members must obey
    the team captain.
[18:12] ---
    Obito, you're not strong.
[18:15] ---
    That is why I was chosen
    as captain of this team.
[18:19] ---
    Then why won't you try to save Rin?!
[18:22] ---
    As captain, you're strong.
[18:24] ---
    Strong enough to save
    your comrades, right?!
[18:26] ---
    If you give in to your emotions
    even for a moment
[18:29] ---
    and fail your mission,
    you will regret it later.
[18:33] ---
    That is why our code of conduct
    forbids any emotional feelings.
[18:38] ---
    You should know that.
[18:42] ---
    Rin...
[18:44] ---
    Rin was concerned about
    your well-being.
[18:46] ---
    That's why she gave you that medkit.
[18:49] ---
    She even sewed on
    a protective amulet inside it!
[18:51] ---
    The medkit and Medical Ninjutsu
    are superb systems
[18:54] ---
    developed by the Hidden Leaf
[18:56] ---
    in order to increase
    the success rate of our missions.
[19:00] ---
    But I told you yesterday, didn't I?
[19:04] ---
    "Getting something useless would
    only get in the way."
[19:08] ---
    Something useless?
[19:12] ---
    To carry out his mission,
    useful tools are essential to a ninja.
[19:16] ---
    Something like emotions are useless.
[19:27] ---
    Are you serious...?!
[19:33] ---
    Do you seriously believe that?!
[19:52] ---
    Yeah...I do...
[19:55] ---
    Forget it.
[19:57] ---
    You and I have been like water
    and oil from the start.
[20:00] ---
    I'm going to rescue Rin!
[20:04] ---
    You don't understand anything...!
[20:06] ---
    Not about what happens if
    you break the rules...
[20:12] ---
    I believe that the White Fang
    was a true hero...
[20:19] ---
    Sure in the world of ninja,
[20:21] ---
    those who break the rules and
    regulations are regarded as scum...
[20:25] ---
    But...
[20:28] ---
    those who abandon their comrades...
    are worse than scum!
[20:33] ---
    I'm gonna be trash anyway,
    so I choose to break the rules.
[20:38] ---
    And if that doesn't make me
    a true ninja...
[20:42] ---
    Then I'll crush this so-called "ninja"!!
[22:37] ---
    *When I think back,
    I'm filled with regret.
    
    

[22:41] ---
    *I was a cocky brat who had
    just been promoted to jonin,
    
    

[22:44] ---
    *and every other word I uttered
    was about rules and regulations.
    
    

[22:48] ---
    *But frankly, I knew nothing
    about what was truly important.
    
    

[22:52] ---
    *Until that day, when you
    taught me a valuable lesson.
