[00:17] ---
    Over there, huh...
[00:27] ---
    Any closer and I'll be noticed...
[01:20] ---
    Big Sister...
[01:22] ---
    Are you taking those
    with you?
[01:25] ---
    Fate must have meant
    for this to happen...
[01:28] ---
    Nothing will serve me better
    than these
[01:30] ---
    if I'm gonna fight against him...
[01:36] ---
    I've lived too long a life...
[03:10] ---
    The Retired Granny's Determination
    
    
    

[03:16] ---
    So...that's where his hideout is.
[03:22] ---
    Most likely.
[03:23] ---
    Gaara's scent was also coming
    from that same place.
[03:26] ---
    I see.
[03:29] ---
    I have one more favor to ask you.
[03:33] ---
    Huh?
[03:44] ---
    Hey, are you awake, Naruto?
[03:47] ---
    Huh? Pakkun...
[03:49] ---
    Okay, Pakkun, I'm counting on you.
[03:52] ---
    See you around then, Naruto!
[04:03] ---
    Kakashi Sensei!
[04:04] ---
    Could it be that you've found
    the Akatsuki's hideout?
[04:07] ---
    Yeah... We're heading out immediately.
[04:17] ---
    What, Gaara's whereabouts
    have been--?!
[04:19] ---
    Yes ma'am! His whereabouts
    have just been located.
[04:22] ---
    The Leaf are preparing
    to depart immediately!
[04:25] ---
    Understood! Gather
    our skilled men immediately!
[04:29] ---
    I will be heading out as well!
[04:30] ---
    Yes, ma'am!
[04:34] ---
    Temari...
[04:37] ---
    Kankuro, don't be so reckless!
[04:40] ---
    You need to stay in bed
    and take it easy!
[04:44] ---
    I will get Gaara back,
    no matter what!
[05:25] ---
    All right, as soon
    as the Sand is ready,
[05:27] ---
    we'll join them for Gaara's rescue.
[05:30] ---
    Got it?
[05:31] ---
    Sorry to have kept you waiting!
[05:34] ---
    Temari!
[05:36] ---
    Everyone's here...
[05:38] ---
    All right! Then let's head out!
[05:41] ---
    Wait!
[05:45] ---
    Temari... You and the others stay here
    in the village and patrol the border.
[05:51] ---
    What do you mean by that?!
[05:52] ---
    That's an order from...above.
[05:55] ---
    Huh...?
[05:56] ---
    Their reasoning is...
[05:58] ---
    if it becomes widely known that
    the Kazekage is absent,
[06:01] ---
    there's no telling when other villages
    will attack our village...
[06:04] ---
    I can't believe this...
[06:06] ---
    That's all the more reason that
[06:07] ---
    we have to get Gaara back
    as soon as possible!
[06:11] ---
    These Leaf people came
    all this way
[06:13] ---
    for the very purpose of
    going to Gaara's aid!
[06:17] ---
    Gaara is our Kazekage, right?!
[06:20] ---
    What's the point if we,
    the Sand people, don't go to save him!
[06:23] ---
    But...
[06:24] ---
    I'm going.
[06:38] ---
    The only Sand Shinobi
    you need is me!
[06:42] ---
    Granny Chiyo!
[06:43] ---
    But that's...
[06:46] ---
    I am already retired, you know...
[06:48] ---
    I can do whatever I like.
[06:52] ---
    You really shouldn't overdo it...!
[06:55] ---
    Don't you dare treat me
    like an old woman!
[07:00] ---
    She jumped!
[07:01] ---
    Wha--?!
[07:04] ---
    I haven't doted on my dear grandchild
    for a while, after all...
[07:34] ---
    All right, we'll head out.
[07:37] ---
    Sorry... I will try to convince
    the higher-ups...
[07:42] ---
    We'll follow behind later,
    no matter what!
[07:47] ---
    Gaara will be long rescued
    by that time!
[07:50] ---
    See you later!
[08:07] ---
    Damn! If only I were
    physically fit.
[08:11] ---
    There'd be no stopping me
    from going...!
[08:20] ---
    Hey, we're going a little too fast!
[08:22] ---
    We haven't stopped running
    since we left!
[08:25] ---
    Let's take a little break!
[08:28] ---
    Tenten, you need more training!
[08:31] ---
    Lee! In front of you!
[08:41] ---
    Wait, Guy!
[08:44] ---
    Pakkun!
[08:59] ---
    Naruto!
[09:02] ---
    Can I ask you something?
[09:06] ---
    Since when have you been
    targeted by the Akatsuki?
[09:18] ---
    I don't know...
[09:23] ---
    There was that one time when
    two people from the Akatsuki
[09:26] ---
    came to the Leaf Village in order to
    make contact with Naruto.
[09:29] ---
    But that was three years ago...
[09:31] ---
    and they've just started
    making a move now.
[09:34] ---
    I don't know why.
[09:36] ---
    Why did they wait three years?
[09:43] ---
    It could be that it's not because
    they didn't want to,
[09:45] ---
    but because they couldn't.
[09:47] ---
    Because Lord Jiraiya was always
    hanging close to Naruto...
[09:55] ---
    No...
[09:58] ---
    Based on information I acquired,
    there apparently is another reason.
[10:04] ---
    Another...reason?
[10:06] ---
    There's quite a bit of
    preparation involved
[10:09] ---
    if one's gonna draw out the Tailed Beast
    that's sealed within people.
[10:12] ---
    They encountered difficulties
    with that.
[10:25] ---
    What's this "Tailed Beast"
    that you were talking about?
[10:28] ---
    What?!
[10:29] ---
    You're Tsunade's disciple
    and you don't even know that?!
[10:33] ---
    The Leaf Village had
    a Nine-Tailed Fox Spirit...
[10:40] ---
    The Nine-Tailed Fox Spirit is
[10:42] ---
    treated as top secret
    amongst the Leaf Village...
[10:44] ---
    Well, that's not surprising, I guess...
[10:49] ---
    A Tailed Beast refers to
    Beast Spirits with tails.
[10:54] ---
    Long, long ago,
    the Sand had a One-Tail.
[10:57] ---
    That's the Shukaku sealed
    within Gaara.
[11:01] ---
    One-Tail?
[11:03] ---
    Do you mean that there are
    other beasts
[11:05] ---
    besides the Nine-Tailed Fox Spirit?
[11:06] ---
    That's right...
[11:08] ---
    There are a total of nine
    tailed beasts in this world...
[11:12] ---
    Tailed beasts have
    special characteristics.
[11:15] ---
    Each of them have
    a different number of tails.
[11:18] ---
    The One-Tailed has one tail.
    The Two-Tailed has two.
[11:22] ---
    And up to the Nine-Tailed
    as the name suggests,
[11:25] ---
    each name represents
    the number of tails the beast has.
[11:29] ---
    The Tailed beasts have
    immense Chakra
[11:32] ---
    and in the world of Ninja,
[11:34] ---
    they were used for military purposes
    by Hidden Villages around the world.
[11:37] ---
    They competed to get
    their hands on them.
[11:41] ---
    But no one was able
    to control that power
[11:44] ---
    which surpassed human intelligence.
[11:48] ---
    I don't know why
    the Akatsuki is after it,
[11:52] ---
    but that power is too dangerous...
[11:56] ---
    But in this new peaceful age,
    the Tailed beasts apparently...
[12:01] ---
    still exist, having scattered
    all around the world...
[12:20] ---
    Kakashi directed us,
    the Eight Ninja Hounds,
[12:23] ---
    to fan out in every direction
[12:25] ---
    to follow the Akatsuki
    Organization's scent.
[12:28] ---
    While we were doing that,
    we realized that
[12:30] ---
    those guys were headed towards
    the Land of Rivers
[12:32] ---
    which is situated between
    the Leaf and Sand.
[12:34] ---
    The Land of Rivers...?
[12:36] ---
    That's right.
[12:38] ---
    In other words,
[12:39] ---
    you guys are closest to the Akatsuki
    at this point in time.
[12:42] ---
    You, who were heading from
    the Leaf to the Sand Village.
[12:47] ---
    I see...
[12:49] ---
    Follow me...
    I'll explain the details as we run.
[12:54] ---
    All right! Let's go, everybody!
[12:56] ---
    Huh? Already?
[13:35] ---
    An enemy is nearing
    this hideout.

[13:41] ---
    An enemy, you said?
[13:42] ---
    And a highly skilled one at that.
[13:45] ---
    His name is...Might Guy.
[13:49] ---
    Who's that?
[13:53] ---
    A Leaf Jonin Ninja who
    uses Taijutsu.

[13:55] ---
    He's one clever operator.
    Don't underestimate him.

[13:58] ---
    Ah...that freak beast, huh...
[14:05] ---
    We will use that Jutsu...
[14:08] ---
    In that case, I'll go...
[14:11] ---
    I was getting irritated for not
    having any luck finding a Jinchuriki.

[14:16] ---
    No, I'll go...
[14:19] ---
    I have something of a personal quarrel
    with him, you see...

[14:23] ---
    You're right. That Jutsu is more suited
    to someone like you.

[14:27] ---
    Among the Akatsuki,
[14:29] ---
    you are more heavily loaded
    with Chakra, Kisame.

[14:32] ---
    Yes...
[14:33] ---
    Even so, I'll take 30%
    of your Chakra.

[14:38] ---
    Well, well, well...
[14:40] ---
    It looks like I'll finally be
    able to get pay back

[14:42] ---
    for that kick he gave me...
[14:49] ---
    Severe Leaf Hurricane!
[14:57] ---
    Who the heck is he?
[15:00] ---
    The Noble Blue Beast of
    the Leaf Village... Mighty Guy.

[15:29] ---
    What's up?!
[15:30] ---
    Someone's coming!
[15:36] ---
    Byakugan!
[15:53] ---
    Behind us!
[16:40] ---
    You...
[16:44] ---
    Do you know him, Guy Sensei?!
[16:51] ---
    Who are you?
[17:26] ---
    Another guest...
[17:29] ---
    It's a little noisy this time,
    isn't it, Deidara!

[17:33] ---
    Well, the Jinchuriki was
    stronger than the other two...
[17:39] ---
    I told you at the start, didn't I?
[17:42] ---
    Your Jutsu wasn't suited
    for covert operations.
[17:46] ---
    I'd say your traps were
    pretty loud too, weren't they?
[17:52] ---
    What!
[17:53] ---
    Stop fighting amongst yourselves!
[17:55] ---
    Concentrate on the Jutsu!
[17:58] ---
    Now then...
    who should I send this time...

[18:01] ---
    This time it's my turn,
    without any doubt.

[18:04] ---
    Another Leaf Shinobi...
[18:09] ---
    Damn!
[18:11] ---
    In that case, it's decided...
[18:19] ---
    Everybody, halt!
[18:33] ---
    Who is that?
[18:35] ---
    Out of the blue, huh...
[18:38] ---
    That guy...those eyes...
[18:44] ---
    You're...
[18:51] ---
    This guy...has a ridiculous amount
    of Chakra.
[18:56] ---
    I've never seen anyone besides
    Naruto with that amount of Chakra.
[19:01] ---
    That much...?
[19:03] ---
    Are you really saying
    you don't remember...?
[19:07] ---
    Don't tell me you're...!
[19:10] ---
    It appears that you've remembered...
[19:14] ---
    Have we met before?
[19:19] ---
    It looks like
    the freak beast's intelligence
[19:22] ---
    is at the level of a beast too...
[19:25] ---
    Well...I'll make you
    remember soon...
[19:48] ---
    Itachi...Uchiha!
[19:52] ---
    Th-That guy is...
[20:01] ---
    That guy is...Itachi...Uchiha!
[21:37] ---
    Guy Sensei, what is that?!
[21:39] ---
    Lee, that is what we've been
    waiting for!
[21:42] ---
    Then that is what all
    the surfers long for,
[21:45] ---
    the legendary big wave that
    arrives only once every few years...?!
[21:48] ---
    Big Thursday! Go, Lee!
[21:51] ---
    Now is your chance to conquer
    that big wave
[21:53] ---
    and become a man!
[21:55] ---
    Yes, sir!
[21:56] ---
    Please watch Guy Sensei,
    I'll prove to you my fighting spirit!
[22:00] ---
    Will you two stop talking
    like that already?!
